Operation Sports Full Minors 2012 Roster - Spring Training Edition Available Now

07:57 PM - April 3, 2012 by Knight165

Okay guys...

Here is the Spring Training version of the Operation Sports Full Minors for 2012, for MLB 12 The Show.

This initial set looks really tight... and there is some FANTASTIC work done on these. Dare I say... the best set yet.

There are too many to thank for this... and I will come back and fill out this post with all those involved, as I know you guys want to get your hands on these and start your franchises.

Here is the link for the OSFM ST v.1

They will be up in the Vault momentarily...

File name: O.S.F.M. SPRING

Thanks for all your patience... and most of all enjoy!!!

I just want to thank some people... and I have to say... this community is truly exceptional. Operation Sports is simply the best run website I visit. Bar none... and the members that frequent here are one of the main reasons. Good people attract other good people.

In no particular order... I really need to thank all of the people involved in the making of this set... as this is a true community effort and without all of these guys, it would make the process much harder and much, much longer.

Thanks to:

I'd like to thank ksig24 for his insight and input into the potential base for the set...

... and last but CERTAINLY not least...
RidinDwnKingsley...

Without his TREMENDOUS work and the immense amount of time that he puts into these rosters... they would have taken 3 times as long to do.

I CANNOT say enough about this, as his dedication and sheer bulldog mentality to get it done, means so much to these.

Also to Steve... the owner of O.S. and the mods on here who make it easy to keep the threads in order and viable to use in conjunction with the set.

...and of course thanks to the entire O.S. community for all the input that you guys have been putting into these for YEARS!

THANK YOU!

Guys.....a lot of people have requested to give back in response to these rosters. They offer thanks and several have offered money.
I suggest charities if you really want to do something as a thanks to these.

My suggested charities....The N.Y.C. FireFighters Burn Center....Wounded Warriors....or .....http://www.extra-life.org/

Thank you!

It's gotten to the point where I'm more excited about the OSFM roster coming out then the actual game. Mainly because I refuse to dive in to franchise mode until I have the real minors. A big thank you to everyone who helped out with this!

# 322 Stroke19oo @ 04/04/12 01:17 PM

Awesome rosters everyone, the hard work is much appreciated. One thing I noticed though. I played one game in franchise with the Brewers. I happened to notice that Wash. started Harper off in the big leagues so I went to check his stats for his first major league game....2 HR?? Curious if anyone had similar experience.

Also, with spring training, I would rather not control all teams and have to make accurate 25 man rosters for each team, is there a roster that comes out to fix this or does it have to be done manually?

New to this, thanks!

I haven't ran one yet with these rosters but just with my experiance in tuning the ratings for the M's it seems like there's alot of 2010/11 draft picks that are still a few years away from the majors that would be peaking 3 years into a franchise. I'll run a sim and post results but thats just from glancing over the rosters. Since it seems like there's alot of high potential guys could I recreate a couple guys for the M's? (depending on how this sim works) Overall, great work by everyone. It's kinda funny seeing how people do faces. Some guys round the facial features, others emphasis any little thing.

Franklin and Paxton should be solid B's and they should also make fine major leaguers at some point.

Yea I agree which is why I didn't fight you on it. It's just when you sort each team by potential you'll see a lot of guys that even you might see as end of the starters or guys that won't be 1st division guys.

# 328 chazbedlam @ 04/04/12 01:46 PM

Thank you all who helped make this roster possible. I downloaded it last night, and I could not be more pleased.

Played my first game last night and whipped the Rays 6-3 thanks to a four run 9th punctuated by a 2 run go-ahead home run by Alex Rodriguez.

I seriously need to call in sick on Friday so I can have a full day to play this game until my fingers bleed. Thanks for making the best baseball game franchise in the history of video games EVEN BETTER.

# 329 Benz87 @ 04/04/12 01:49 PM

Brewers farm system pitching is absolutely stacked. Four SP with A potential that should be ready in 1-2 years. Bye Bye Marcum and Wolf.

Now I just need to develop some decent position players, possibly SS and 1B. Ill have to look into some trades.

I hear that's getting fixed.

Hello O.S.,
GRREEAATT WORK on the rosters!! I Thank the guys once again for all the hard work! I feel like I just bought the game for REAL this time!...lol.
Just one question please (to anyone)...I want to add myself and friends to the roster to start the franchise, and I want to make it that were veteran A potentials already (basically, not rookies)...but I can't shake off the "R" for rookie next to our players even though I made them between 28-36 years old...I noticed for example: that the ANDY PETTITE created player DOESN'T get the "R" when I put him on the MLB roster... I edited an existing "fake player" with A potential who I made to be 36yrs Old and he is still a Rookie...
What's the trick??...Please help, thank you O.S. and I'm glad to finally be on board...may your team have a great season...

# 332 toadman1 @ 04/04/12 02:16 PM

thanks to all that did this roster set!! def makes the game better. question tho how do u put it on flash drive again? i know its a silly question but im computer dumb.

# 333 BCJMU99 @ 04/04/12 02:26 PM

How are folks playing with the Phillies? Including Howard and Utley (among others) injuries?? How's it going so far?

I know on the original stock roster there were a couple editable fake players that had had a year or so of MLB service time. I'm not sure if any of them were 'A' potential, but that's one way to avoid them being a rookie.

I've enjoyed the set so far, although the only created player I've used is Freddy Galvis and he looks great.

Only real complaint is that I personally feel Maikel Franco is at least a B prospect where in the rosters, I think he's a C? I personally think he's going to break out this year and become our #1 hitting prospect if he isn't already. Easily our best third base prospect since Rolen (or Utley if you count that experiment).

Other than that minor complaint, I think the roster is great.

For me, I'm using Utley and Howard and I'm just rotating guys like Mayberry and Galvis in as super regulars. I ignore injuries in real life for the most part.

# 337 jtott @ 04/04/12 02:50 PM

Now that these have come out..... I dl them last night.. They look fantastic, but what kind of changes should we be expecting in the updated versions?
Thanks to everyone for their hard work!!

# 338 noonan2112 @ 04/04/12 02:53 PM

Waited until the set came out to buy the game. I can't wait for this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you guys so much for all the hard work!

# 339 benny15 @ 04/04/12 02:53 PM

First off, thank you so much guys for putting this roster together! I have been playing the show for a few years now, but this is the first time I used these rosters.

So before I put a bunch of time into setting up the rosters before going into the regular season in my franchise, I had one question I wanted to ask.

I simmed up until the second last day of ST, and I'm in the process of making sure the correct 25 members are on the roster, while sending the rest down to AAA,AA, etc. I noticed though that this process is using the options available to the players. Am I doing this right? or is there another way to get down to the 25 man roster without using their minor league options.

Thanks guys.

Knight already said the Brewers will be fixed. I'm still fixing them myself.
