OSFM 2015 Optimal Roster Update

[Side Effect]

OSFM Optimal Roster Version 2 is now in the Roster Vault. Name: OS Optimal Roster V2, Username: SideEffect34, Date: 9/10/15. Version 2 includes all new transactions, updated SCEA ratings, and rosters, pitching rotations and lineups updated as of 9/10/15. The new SCEA ratings includes updates to Votto, Arrieta, Cain, Encarnacion, Cespedes, Lindor, Sano, and more.

40-Man Roster available in the vault thanks to mattmonteith. OS Optimal 40-Man, Date: 9/14/15.

This roster set uses RidinDwnKingsley’s ‘OSFM Weekly Update #5’ as its base and has most top players off the disabled list and on the major league roster. All transactions and MLB, AAA, AA rosters, lineups and pitching rotations are up-to-date.

ALL players are up to date with SCEA’s latest ratings from their weekly live roster updates. Over half of SCEA players were affected in their recent massive update.

• All MLB and MiLB Transactions are up-to-date
• Correct MLB Player Jersey Numbers
• Most players off of the Disabled List such as Stanton, Darvish, Wainwright, Holliday for optimal rosters. Unless there is a solid replacement such as Dodgers Wood/Latos for Ryu/McCarthy
• AAA and AA rosters overhauled and updated. You won’t see any Single A or A+ players on AAA/AA teams
  • Minor league closers updated so each team has 3 closers
  • Many released players who were missed in OSFM released
• 2015 Draft 1st Round Prospects included
• 'Top 50' icon next to all Top 50 Prospects from MLB.com’s preseason list
• Retired Players and some released MiLB Free Agents removed
• Many Player Additions (Credit to some of the fellow OS roster makers - Ridin, MoTown, Willard76, WaitTilNextYear to name a few)
• Many position changes where necessary
• All player ratings (Including Potentials) updated via SCEA's latest live roster update (8/24). Over half of SCEA players affected in recent massive update
• SCEA Weekly Update Added Players included except for a few due to some having generic faces
• More Equipment edits across the league (All MLB players involved in a trade updated for their new team. Cubs, Reds, Cardinals, and Rays full 25 man roster recently updated)
• Starting Pitchers Batting Stances updated from MLB 15: Pitcher Stance Project thread – No more Generic Stance 1for the majority of SP’s
• Pitching rotations based on the team’s Opening Day rotation order
• Each team has at least one extra player in Free Agents 3 to replace any future traded or released players if you use CPU Roster Control
  
• 25 Man Rosters so they are Franchise ready

Previous V1 Update: Name: OSFM Optimal Roster, Owner: SideEffect34, Created: 8/30/15.

Thanks to those who check out my roster and hope you enjoy them. They will be great for use in Exhibition or Franchise and I can’t wait to finally use them in my new Franchise.

Note: I wanted to think of a name for this roster because in the previous years I would just name it something like OSFM V2 Update and the date, but didn't want to confuse it with Ridin releasing "Weekly" updates this year. So as I said above I decided on Optimal Roster Update because I think it's one of the only rosters that includes players off the DL instead of in Single-A to make for that team's "optimal" roster with no big injuries.

Could somebody on PS3 please grab this file from the vault & post it in the last gen rosters section? Or, just post it here in this thread if you want too. It would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

This sounds great. I've actually been working on one myself that sounds very similar to this, but with less detail in the MILB levels. Just haven't been getting through it like I wanted. Your set may save me from continuing that. I'm curious about one thing. What did you do with audio names? There always seem to be a few on every team that are either missing, wrong, or close but not quite right. Did you happen to fix those? I'll definitely be checking this out later.

Thanks, nice to hear. I haven't messed too much with the audio names that are already in the OSFM roster base I used. I did add audio names to the SCEA weekly player additions I imported in though. Usually if it's not exact or close enough, I won't add audio names.

Side Effect, just downloaded these this morning and it looks great! As soon as SCEA adds the rest of the Sept. Call-ups I'm going to fire up a new Franchise to play along with my Carryover from 14.

Great work.

Is this roster going to be updated with the SCEA call ups from september?

Does this roster include Moncada? Because he is in A ball but was a top 50 prospect at the beginning of the year.
