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.

I understand the line-ups will be screwed up for simmed games but for the games I play, I adjust the oppositions team line-up by using a 2nd controller right before a game. In your opinion is there any downside to this?
Both ways accomplish the same end, IMO.

For me, it's easier just to subtract the 15 or so guys before Spring Training ends. I have a printed list of all the 40 Man Rosters for Opening Day, so with that it takes a lot less time to do.

*LHP Mike Belfiore isn’t on a roster because of an “abdominal tweak,” but farm director Mike Bell expects that he’ll be ready to return within a couple of weeks. He’ll be in the rotation for Visalia

*RHP J.R. Bradley drew the full-season assignment to South Bend. He was the club’s top pick out of last year’s draft out of the second round -- the Diamondbacks didn’t sign their first-rounder – but there had been some talk about him remaining in extended spring training to start the year. “I don’t know that he showed a lot different as far as stuff,” Bell said, “but, for me, I think that he showed that he was mature enough to handle failure. Everyone’s going to go through their ups and downs and we felt that when he does struggle he’s not going to have any problem getting over it.”

*OF Keon Broxton is going to start in South Bend, which is where he played last season. He still has the same high ceiling based on his athleticism, but the organization is in no rush with his development and believes he can benefit from repeating the level. Broxton is working to cut down on his strikeouts; he punched out 172 times last season. It’s always possible he earns a promotion sometime during the season.

*LHP Tom Layne is being shifted to the bullpen. This is probably his most likely role if/when he reaches the majors. Same goes for RHP Ryan Cook, and I’ve heard it suggested that RHP Josh Collmenter might fit better as a reliever, as well.

hey is anyone gonna do anything on their own with the contracts??...it is confirmed that when u go to player movement and release a player with another player from the free agent list(i keep using mike sweeney on free agent list #3) his contract changes...most of the time it changes to the correct # of years, but not the money...ive only gone through the red sox so far all of them had the right amount of years(with the exception of options) but the money was always off...the money being off isnt a big issue with me as much as the years...so i was wondering if anyone, knight as well but i know hes got alot goin on besides this, is gonna do something about this on their own...to be honest i dont even know if any of the other players from other teams contract years will be off..so this might be a pointless question lol...if anything it reminds people that u can change a contract if you release a player with another player and then get him back on the team...this works for players without contracts as well...u most likely wont get the IRL contract but at least the guy has one instead of it saying "none"...however, when u release a player and then get him back on your team it automatically puts him on ur 40 man roster and in MLB...so ull have to make the necessary adjustments urself afterwards...

I've got a method to re-sign players on 1 year deals to LTC on the 1st day of Spring Training. I put it in the Tips and Workarounds thread. Not sure if you can get contracts 100% correct.

IIRC, career stats have never shown up with those SCEA guys. I'm pretty sure. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Attn: Knight,

You noted my Cincinnati Reds changes prior to version 2 but they were not addressed as of version 4. just a reminder:

Alexander Smit is no longer with the organization, could be replaced with Kyle McCulloch.

Billy Hamilton is actually 20 yrs. old not 22 as he is listed in the spring training versions.

Once Again, Thanks to all for this labor of love!

hey Maj, Your roster set(based off knight's and others great set) looks like it might be right up my alley for a franchise! i guess this is the crux of it all...either go with hustlin's 25 man only roster then add the rest of the 40 to that (which takes a little time), or go with yours or kNIGHT's set and have to re-do the lineups?

that's what it gets down to right? which one of those options takes less time?

thanks guys

Like I said before, I have always just subtracted the 15 guys before Spring Training ends because I have a list of all the Opening Day 40 Man's printed out. It takes about 10 minutes, give or take, for me to do it because I know exactly who I'm looking for with the list right in front of me.

Do you happen to have that list saved on your computer still? If so do you think you could post it because it would make everything so much easier for all of us as well and would be GREATLY appreciated I'm sure.

EDIT: Now I'm the idiot that didn't check the first post before posting this haha. My bad, and thanks!

Is this available on the internet? Also, I assume the list separates out who is on the 25 man and who isn't?

Thanks in advance. I was going to make my own list but if this is on the internet then I'd love a link.

See Page 1 for the link to the spreadsheet on the 40 man rosters.
 
# 952 Still2REal @ 04/05/11 11:01 PM
This is a weird question but is Michael Choice an A prospect in these rosters and what position does he play?

I haven't bought the game yet (still on NBA2K for the end of the basketball season but Baseball Tonight has been making The Show sall my name mayne!!!) and I'm just wondering what to do with the A's when I get the game...

My mistake, that spreadsheet is made specifically for adding players to the 25 man rosters made. Unfortunately not all teams on that list have 15 players to subtract from Maj's version. Now I'm not sure if some teams had less then 40 men on their 40 man rosters but I'm almost sure this would screw up lineups.

Maj, Is it possible to post the list of 15 players to remove from each teams' roster. This would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to each teams's 40 man roster as of Feb.24. It doesn't include the Washington Nationals OF, and you may need to doublecheck each teams site to see if there have been any recent changes:

I used Owls rosters and I'm going through adding the other 15 guys per team. I'm just using each teams site and going to their 40 man. In about 99% of the cases the guys who need to be added have a * next to their names on the official site. Plus it's broken down by pitchers, catchers, infield, and outfield. It's taking maybe 4 or 5 minutes a team and thats only because I'm using this as a chance to get to know the names a bit.

Once I'm done with that I'll go through and call up the guys who will be in the bigs once they're back from injury and tweak lineups. I'm not injuring the guys who were meant to be injured. Everyone's starting healthy in my little world. Should be ready to get my season rolling by the weekend or sooner!

I've posted this a couple of times, it's completely accurate as of April 1.

Combined with the manual adding of DL assignment lengths at MLBDEPTHCHARTS it shoud provide a perfect opening day set.

Question: Can there be or is there a difference in difficulty between the SCEA rosters and knight's?

I may just be getting better at the analog stuff but, on HoF I really struggled with the SCEA rosters and now with knight's I am betting over .270 with the Nats and .300 with the O's on HoF.

I doubt there is a difference but, just want to make sure.

Thanks,
Nim

Knight, this may have been asked before but i was in NY this weekend watching my Tigers lose a series to those damn Yanks so may have missed it.

What is the difference (if any) going to be between v4 and the OD set you are currently finishing, just a few minor league changes i.e. getting the lineups/rotation right? If so ill just roll with v4 to get my franchise going as having all the correct MILB stuff doesnt bother me, only that all prospects are in there, which in v4 they obviously are.

Your thoughts?
 
# 960 Illustrator76 @ 04/06/11 08:46 AM
I was wondering if anyone was going to post a roster that has the 25 man rosters with NO injuries included? I am like a few other members here in that I like to start my franchises fresh and then let injuries happen throughout the course of the franchise.

BTW, thanks for all of the hours (probably more like years, lol) of work you guys put into these rosters, this is not easy stuff at all, and it is very easy for people to underappreciate your hard work!
