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.

Srudoff...Thanks for putting this together. Stupid question but I take it not all teams fill their 40 man roster? First thing I noticed is most teams on your list didn't have 15 players listed.
 
# 882 authentic @ 04/04/11 07:03 PM
Knight, keep in mind when making the minor league rosters, AAA teams are allowed 24 players, AA 23 after a month here, however they are allowed 12 or so backups. Only 24 and 23 can be active. You maybe know this, but to other people as well.

Set up each of those profiles however you'd like. Start with Manual and then change it back to Auto later once you have the regular season started.
Actually, you won't want to change it back to AUTO after the season starts, then you'll miss the injury/40 man notifications that happen in-season (and lineups/rosters will become a wreck.)

This year I figured I'd wait until the opening day SCEA roster came out and added Brandon Belt. I downloaded it today. Belt was lower rated than I expected and had a pretty generic look and stance. So I downloaded OSFM just to take a look.

Holy cow! This roster this year is amazing. Knight and company, you have completely outdone yourselves. I couldn't believe how much better the minor league rankings look this year. The faces, stances, everything... just amazing. I know the Giants system pretty well, and I have to say, whoever did that team nailed it.

Thanks so much for the wonderful job you all did this year. I couldn't be happier.

Just wondering, what is on tap for future releases? Is there a final OSFM roster to come out before people start on with the pitch/ratings edits for SCEA players?

Thanks again!
Thanks.....the guys really did do a tremendous job. That was juicer who did S.F. Really nice.
I think JaSnake is going to try and tackle SCEA edits...

Merkin Valdez(Tor) - Last week he was competing for spot on Dodgers AAA roster
Scott Posednick(Tor) - With Blue Jays still, has injured foot (return unknown)
Jason Bergmann(Bos) - Showed at Red Sox camp with shoulder injury. His minor league contract was voided. He's a Free Agent and has no prospects on horizon.
Dallas McPherson(ChiA) - Cut on 3/22 by White Sox. Appears he was released.
Steve Holm(Minn) - Catching for the Baltimore AAA team. (expected to split time with Rene Rivera)
Thank you!

I'll wait on McPherson...at any rate...I was just going to FA these players not delete them.

I'll keep an eye on that when I get to S.D.
Thanks!

Ok Thanks for clearing that up for me. There were just a couple reds players I thought should be tweaked b/c I felt there overall franchise rank was way too low. Dave Sappelt and Mesoraco should be rated as only a year or less away from the majors. Cincy's beat writer and others have all said they will both be sniffing the majors this season. Sappelt hit .342 last year in the minors and went through 3 levels. Mesoraco also progressed through 3 levels and would probably be on the major league team if the reds cathers werent as productive and if you look at a guy like Hank Conger for instance he is rated much higher than Mesoraco and many prospect rankings have Mesoraco rated much higher. If you could at least look at those two guys and consider them I would appreciate it.

This is due to several reasons, namely DL assignments and the players that may have been placed on the DL prior to openeing day currently on Hustlin's 25 man, as well as players being added to the 40 man after the last roster release.

An example would be Jeremy Reed of the Milwaukee Brewers, he took the 40th spot on the 40 man on March 31st.

At any rate, Studoff it's a great exercise, and one I'll be doing following the next roster / Hustlin release. The only missing piece is to annotate the length of DL assignments for manually injuring said players.

Also I was wondering if there was anyone that was going to fix the problem with every team having several older lifetime minor leaguers that are A potentials because they had to be created. The way I understand it these guys don't progress as much as other A's but I feel this is a little bit of a problem in franchise mode as the teams that own these players are hesitant to put them in trades, take them off their 40 man rosters, etc whereas in real life this wouldn't be the case.

An easy way to fix this is just to download the most recent SCEA roster and use the made up minor league players, edit some of them with C and D potentials and then export those players and import them into the OSFM replacing those players that are A's and shouldn't be. I realize this could be a lengthy process and I am willing to help with it if need be. Or you could do thise same thing and create different players that are in the minors for these teams and export them into the OSFM and get rid of the undeserving A potential guys completely as almost none of them will sniff the majors again or make a contribution. I was just wondering if anyone was going to attack this or am I the only one that's really bothered by this?

See this is why I am confused. Once the season starts what should I do? I am sure this is a stupid question but I tried everything I could to make sure my team was manual while all other teams were on auto but I could not find a way to do that.

If it's as simple as making my team Custom profile 1 and make all the other teams custom 2 then that is what I will do but I haven't found a way to get confirmation all the other teams really are on auto.

No need to do that. I just downloaded the new online roster and exported about 10 players. Colon, Hannrahan etc... to test and guess what works like a champ. You get potential, face, and mlb experience as well as contract. I'll go through and do all when Knight has a complete opening day set.

Knight, just a couple of changes for the Nationals roster.

Tyler Walker is a free agent
Kevin Mench is a free agent
Joe Bisonius was released
Jonathan Van Every was released
Ryan Mattheus is on the free agent list but is playing for Harrisburg AA for the Nationals

If you want suggestions who to replace the players with feel free to ask. Otherwise thank you and the rest for an outstanding roster.
 
# 893 El_MaYiMbE @ 04/04/11 07:58 PM
Knight, since you CAN export players from 4/4/11 update, is there any advantage or difference to exporting Bartolo Colon?

The announcers say his name is "Bart Colon" in your rosters, do they actually say BARTOLO in the SCEA Roster? If so can you export him from that and put SCEAs Colon in your final roster?

Small thing but just wondering.

I just did that as well for the players that were added in the 4/4 roster. It worked out great however there are still several that need changed. For instance in one of the franchises I had I was just testing and the Tampa Bay rays would not trade me 31 year old 2b rey olmedo for Brandon Phillips!! just because olmedo was an A potential. I guess to me this is an issue and was wondering if anyone is going to address this in time for the opening day release. Knight is this going to be addressed? Just wondering because if not I am going to fix it myself on my own rosters. It will take a little time but I'm a perfectionist lol. Let me know thanks!!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again, Knight and everyone who helped out with the rosters. They were amazing! There were a few small things that were missing, as in a few players and such, but that could easily be fixed, I'm sure. I'm going to take this time to post a few things that I've noticed on the Philadelphia Phillies roster and a few other things. Hopefully you can fix/add them!

Recent transactions: Atlanta Braves sign Scott Proctor; Philadelphia Phillies release Dan Meyer; Baltimore Orioles release Danny (Daniel) Figueroa; Kansas City Royals sign Jeff Suppan; Cleveland Indians release Preston Mattingly; Atlanta Braves release Brett DeVall

Now... on to the Phillies...

AAA and AA rosters were released. There are pretty many of those players missing from the game, so here are the links.

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/d...ster4211.2.pdf (AAA roster)

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/d...r_(4-4-11).pdf (AA roster)

Lineups (I believe this is for both right-handed pitchers and left-handed ones):

CF: Victorino
3B: Polanco
SS: Rollins
1B: Howard
LF: Ibanez
RF: Francisco
C: Ruiz
2B: Valdez
P: Pitcher

Oh, and Drew Carpenter is a starting pitcher whereas he's a relief pitcher in the game. Ross Gload is a right-fielder, but plays first base every now and then. Delwyn Young is technically a right-fielder, but plays center-field in The Show. That's about it. Thanks again for the incredible roster updates.

I was kinda wondering if you were going export/replace the 32 guys created for the 4/4 rosters. I've looked back a few pages and didn't see a definitive answer.

If anybody else knows the answer or I missed something obvious from and earlier post go ahead and criticize but be kind enough to say yes or no.
 
# 898 tabarnes19_SDS @ 04/04/11 09:48 PM
Knight,
Just wanted to let you know that Burnett has a different pitching motion than stock. Not sure if it was changed on accident, but I know you like to have stock for first set...

He's not the only one. Quite a few roster makers made stance/delivery/equipment changes to SCEA players.
Not everyone got the memo apparently.

You don't need to add a profile to the other teams, just make 'USER CONTROLLED' before you begin the franchise. Add a profile to your team. Set all of the CPU roster/injury options to Manual.

When you begin the season (after performing the 40 man roster adds at the end of ST) this is when you set lineups.
