MLB 11 The Show News Post


Okay everyone...this is the initial release of the Operation Sports Full Minors.

We'll call this one the "Spring Training" version.
I will caution that the MLB should be entirely correct and the minor league levels will be a bit "raw" until the actual minor league teams get their assigned players and we can incorporate it.

The lineups are projected...a lot from you and a lot from other sources...for the "Opening Day" set...they will be more precise.
The minor league lineups will be set when their season begins.
We will also fine tune the FA list for the Opening Day set if necessary in the second release.

*************NOW HEAR THIS....NOW HEAR THIS...************

I have never reported a post. NEVER. I have no "ban hammer" mod status either. But I'm just putting this out there right now......that if there is one post that that in any way demeans one of the editors....by saying "this is ridiculous"...."what a joke"....or anything that isn't presented as a constructive criticism or suggestion I will bring on my own version of an e-nuclear bomb. If it's my work...blast away, but these guys have done a TREMENDOUS job in getting this set out in "record" time....and IMO each and every one has done top notch work.
You can criticize....but keep it polite...that's all I ask.

Each and every one of these guys deserves a hand......and Ridin' and I couldn't have done it without them this year.
In no particular order
alexbraun, the blackbra, bodhiball, TNKNGM, sink4ever, El Mayimbe, oldgoldnblue767, sweett310, Vin, theaub, CWPalehose, tribefanisu2003, PSULions, GreatNorther47, Karle, Ivanhoe, Rwings, mhag4f, cnelly, bergie56, juicer240, MNPuckett, Apostle, Throwback, WB1214, ltw0303cavs, authentic, KJWilliams, TripleThreat, athomp, SergioRodriguez13, bdolski, Qb, ChaseB, GoBucs, tree3five, ilstu, GTATrifecta, slthree, cmorris25, nkrause, franch1se....and I simply cannot stress enough how much Ridin' did once again on this set. Everyone....TREMENDOUS WORK
That being said....this is also the first time we've had so many hands working on this and it's tough to catch anything and everything that might be noted when it's just a few guys working on it. We'll need a little latitude towards errors that would need fixing....

I also want to thank Steve_OS and of course Operation Sports for allowing us a venue to bring our work to ...and have others share in it. Kudos all around.....

....and finally ...thanks to you guys for all your feedback and patience throughout the process.

Okay....now the nice thing about a "beta" release is being able to fix things and with player import...that's easier than ever. So we will be open to hearing suggestions and fixes. Bring it to our attention and we will fix it.

HAVE FUN!!
Enjoy your seasons...

THESE ARE ALSO UP ON SPORTSCONNECT
O.S.F.M. Full Minors....PSN name Knight165


OFFSHOOT
Here is a link to the O.S.F.M with only 25 players on the 40 man rosters...this will be your first step in no lineup shuffling ....with either 1 team or 30 team control. Keep in mind....with 1 team control...there is no way to add the 15 players to the 40 yourself...and with 30 team control, you'll have to do it on DAY 1 of the regular season(or any time after before the Rule V draft)...
Thanks to HUSTLIN' OWL for these!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/xu89ou

Here is how to keep the CPU from shuffling your lineups
There are 3 ways with using 30 team control.
First...you must create a profile that gives the lineups/rotations MANUAL for any team you want lineups to be under your control.

1.- Use a roster that has only 25 players on the 40 man roster. Hustlin' Owl has created one and the link is above...With this....if you use only 1 team control......you are locked into having the CPU teams having no more than 25 men on the 40 man roster. If you use 30 team control at any time AFTER spring training is over...you can add the 15 players to the 40 man roster and the CPU will not juggle lineups/rotations. In all cases....the CPU will still sub in lineups for fatigue

2.-Using a roster with the 40 man roster full....play/sim Spring Training until the day BEFORE the final day of ST.....go through each team and manually send down 15 players(make sure none are in any lineups/rotation) for the CPU teams.....No need to take them off the 40 man roster. The lineups will remain intact when going into the season now.

3.-The obvious....wait until DAY 1 of the regular season and set the CPU team lineups/rotations....they will stay and only be changed for fatigue.....be aware...you will have to reset them due to injuries for the CPU teams...


Here is how to manually injure players
-You must put INJURIES on MANUAL....and INJURY MANAGEMENT on AUTO for the CPU teams(if one team control...it is already on AUTO)
-Go to the DISABLED LIST.....Use L2/R2 to cycle through the teams(1 team or 30 team control)...use the L1/R1 button to go to the roster for injuring players....click on a player and give him an injury....
-With 30 team control...if you have injury management on AUTO...the CPU should put the player on the DL.....you can do it by going back to the DISABLED LIST screen and placing them yourself. With just 1 team control.....the CPU will put the injured player on the DL...you cannot do it yourself.

Thanks alot for that post, I agree with the moves you were posting.

When reg season starts, wont i have to redo the line-ups to what I like? I tried the 25 man rosters but I guess I was doing something wrong.

Sorry to go a bit off topic, why is Knight and Roster being written like this: *****?

So I just re-did the Yankees r o s t e r, I did mlb aaa aa and a, And I know this has been addresses numerous times, but i cant for the like of me figure out how to get the rosters and line-ups to stay intact after spring training.

I have tried the 30 team control also. I guess ill try hustlin's 25 man, but then ill have to re-do all my yankee edits.

Yes. But it's YOUR team, and easy to change.

I like making my own lineups anyway, so no biggie.

Personally, emphasis on the 'personal,' I prefer the 40 man version. This way, the CPU teams will have a full 40 once the season starts, otherwise they will only add them when injuries occur throughout the season.

I also don't care if the CPU lineups shuffle. Seriously, I could care less. Year 2, they're gonna change ANYWAY. The benefits of the 40 man far outweigh the benefits of the 25 man, in MY opinion.

Now that the P A T C H is addressing the trade logic for 30 man franchises (from how I understand Ramone Russell's post), I prefer to run a 30 team controlled franchise (YOUR profile attached to NYY, and a second profile with roster setting set to AUTO for the other 29 teams). This way, I can step in and handle business for the CPU...like trades, etc...but let them handle themselves, for the most part, day in and day out.

Remember to sim all games on the schedule before you play yours, for the day of, in order to see the games progress on the in-game ticker.

I'm telling you from experience. As much as I admire and respect the 25 man/lineup workaround, the hassle of handling all the rosters simply for a few weeks of 'correct' lineups is not worth it.

It's not anyone's fault that the CPU doesn't appropriately add the remaining 15 players themselves. It's just the nature of the beast. My suggestion would be to use the 40 man version.

Ok sounds good, thank you for your help.

1 thing i forgot to ask you. SO you set your line-up after spring training, then let the cpu teams jumble. So in your chise guys like strassburg and wainwright are back in MLB correct? If so I guess all that matters is my team being right.

Sorry to go a bit off topic, why is Knight and Roster being written like this: *****?

Haha yes! However, I don't, think, that enough, commas, were used,. Wow, it took me a half hour to get through his post and i wasn't even answering his questions lol. As for the lineups being complained about I think everyone just needs to chill out. You have already said that this isn't the opening day set. Also, to put this in perspective a little bit, "Baseball Tonight" on ESPN said this morning that Terry Francona used 143 different lineups last year alone. So a lot of the time managers don't even know their own lineups until gameday. Let's just all enjoy this roster set and appreciate all the hard work that went into them.

Yes. You got it.

Last year, since I was also the Yankees, I manually DL'd Joe Nathan because he's in the AL. I think I chose the 'arm ripped completely off body' one, and he was DL'd for a long, long time. LOL!

I don't worry too much about the NL injuries. But I suppose you could manually DL them.

LAST YEAR, you had to go to profile settings, and place injuries to 'manual.' Then, you DL the player, and then turn injuries back ON in your settings. You could do this at anytime during the season last year (opening day, June whatever, or even pull Youk's hammy right before a big series...heh, heh).

It may be more complicated this year though. I haven't tried it yet.

Ill pull Pedroia's hammy as well.

So my adjustments are made and roster is saved, but after I start my chise it jumbles.

So then I go to make my edits, now the issue is it piuts players in MLB and if I want to send them back down it uses their options.

seems like every time i get a grast of things I run into another issue.

This game has turned into a part time job for shure..

Question for anyone who may know the answer. In spring training, when a player is cut, does that use one of their minor league options? Just wondering, as I was going to send everyone down at the end of spring training but noticed it was using options. If that is normal, I'm ok with that, but I'd rather not use up options if I don't need to.

Okay I just started my franchise and from what I can tell the rosters didn't jumble.

What I did was start with 30 team control, but set them all as if they were the team I'll be playing (manual everything). I simmed through spring training to opening day, and THEN I changed the other 29 teams to the backup profile, which has everything to AUTO except for Training which is on manual (To avoid the future ratings problems as far as I know...).

I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding all of the posts about 40 man rosters and lineups jumbling and stuff.. or maybe now that they're all back to auto if they'll jumble after opening day. Guess I'll find out soon enough!

No no no no....

If I'm understanding you right, you need to set your roster BEFORE you start your franchise. Do this from the main menu.

Turn on game.

Load roster.

Set roster (Montero, Granderson, etc).

Save roster.

Start franchise and use the 'saved' roster. The one you just finished.

Place your profile under the Yankees.

Place a second profile to all other teams, one with roster settings (40 man, trades, lineups,etc) set to 'auto.'

I did exactly what you said. I edited the roster in main menu.

Then I start Franchise with those rosters.

As soon as i sim spring training, my rosters are a mess, and AAA players are in the bigs, then I need to use options to send them down.

I hope i am explaining this right. But I have re-read what I wrote a few times and it seems to be whats happening. BTW thanks for all this help.

Page 1 post involves using the 25 man roster. I was trying to avoid that.

Or if I was using 40 man I would have to bring down 15 players on every team, then bring them back up.

If anyone has done this how long did it take?

Important reminder for people using 40-man Rosters and Lineups/Club Levels sticking:

Once you begin Spring Training, any and all players on the 40-man roster, regardless of whether or not they are assigned to MLB, AAA, AA, or A, will be placed on the MLB Roster. Consider this a Spring Training Invitation.

If Spring Training is simmed, and the regular season is 'ADVANCED' to, the computer will automatically assign players on the 40-man roster to whatever level it sees fit based on ratings/needs. Here are the steps to ensure that the Club level stays intact (mirroring how you had them BEFORE starting up your season/franchise).

1. Sim or play spring training, but DON'T advance to the regular season.

2. AFTER all the games on your schedule, 15 players from the 40-man will need to be assigned to the appropriate organization level. Even though on your main roster, their clubs say AAA,AA, and A; since they were 'invited' to Spring Training, their 'club' status will ALWAYS say MLB during the Spring. You will need to option 15 players to the minors BEFORE spring training ends.

(Think of how the real life Yankees did that with D.Betances...or any of your favorite Minor Leaguers. They 'optioned' him/them before real Spring Training was over.)

3. Once 15 players are assigned to the AAA, AA, and A level, ADVANCE TO THE REGULAR SEASON.

Your lineups will now be intact, in the same order that they were via the MAIN MENU.
