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.
