Found a way to create players with service time

[RandyBass]

Don't know if this is old news, or even how useful it will be, but I found a way to create players with service time:

1. Start a short season with CPU roster control on.
2. Sim ahead 5 years or so.
3. Find non-rookie generated players with service time in the cpu roster control section.
4. Export player.

When you import the player onto a roster he will be fully editable and won't have the rookie status symbol and won't qualify for rookie awards in a season or franchise.

A small detail for roster makers.

Again, don't know how useful it will be considering you can now import from 14, but if you're starting from scratch it may be useful.

I went ahead and uploaded some "blank" players to the vault, to save people the process I outlined above.

They are:

Veteran RH Pull Hitter
Veteran LH Pull Hitter
Veteran Balanced Hitter
Veteran Pitcher

Also:

Rookie Balanced Hitter

I may still add Rookie Pull Hitters, but will likely just make any rookies balanced hitters. Not even sure how much of an impact pull hitters have compared to balanced. I think the difference is minimal.

For the Veterans each have 3 or 4 years service time, and like I say they won't be counted as rookies.

Actually a great way to make EXACT service times.

Good thinking!

Oh wow!

....

Oh ****, I gotta redo my whole file?! Nah come to think of it, I think I handled the YOS pretty good, MLB 14 had a good selection of editable guys with YOS so I could create rookies, Super 2 eligible, "free agents in one years" and vets.

BUT, this could also be a great way to get create players that have used all their minor assignment options. No more A/B level prospect hoarding!

You could even just take players ported from 14 (non-current players at least, because current players can't be exported) and accumulate service time for them this way. You'd have to fix the ratings after exporting them, because ratings change from season to season, but you wouldn't have to create them from scratch either.

They'd even accumulate career stats this way as well.

Awesome job Thank You, I traded in 14 so I didnt have much of an option.

Hey RandyBass, can you explain how you export the player? I'm in season mode, but for the life of me can't figure out how to export out of season?

Hey Knight, I downloaded the guys from the vault that RandyBass posted and the stats carry over too. Hello former MLB players that weren't in the game? If someone was careful with stats and player locked we could make players with their real-life service time and stats.
