MLB 14 The Show: The Godfather of Custom Ultra-Realistic Rosters

01:56 PM - April 22, 2014 by RaychelSnr

There are certain things in life that you can count on annually, some good, some bad. If you’re a fan of SCEA San Diego’s MLB The Show series, one of the best is the arrival of the fully edited minor league roster set, O.S. Full Minors, released by OSer MK Knight (Mike). Mike has been working on roster edits for various games now for well over a decade, including such games as High Heat Baseball (PC) and the deceased NHL 2K series.

For the last seven years, though, Mike has switched all focus over to the MLB series. What started out as a one-man operation has now blossomed into a full scale production, with several key Operation Sports members joining the fold. Mike readily admits that although in the beginning it was just him, he is more of a facilitator now than anything.

Hats off to all who contribute and to Mike himself for starting this whole thing

Always look forward to the release of these rosters. Feels like Christmas in spring time.

The vaults really were a godsend, its probably the #1 reason why I started contributing to the roster.

AMAZING work that Mike does. It has made the show so much more fun and realistic to play. If you play road to the show, it is nice to face real prospects. If you play franchise it adds multiple layers to the game and the guys you have in your farm system. Crazy that one of the best features of the game doesn't actually come on the game... thank you Mike!

All gave some. Some gave all. Mike gave the most.

From getting to know Mike, the last few years at Community Day, I can tell you he really pushes for what the community wants. He is a great guy(hoping he doesn't get a big head:-)) and always willing to help others.

Good article.

Thanks to Mike for all his efforts, I am still fairly new to the show since 2011 and I have seen the threads about the rosters every year so I guess my question really is how to you get them loaded up to your system, I have never done it so I was wondering if someone might be able give the easy how to version like " Rosters for Dummies ", lol

Humbled for the team that delivers us with the rosters every year

Knight is literally the Jesus Christ of Rosters.

# 11 Feliz__7 @ 04/22/14 03:24 PM

Really do appreciate the work you guys do!

# 12 Hockeynut99 @ 04/22/14 04:06 PM

A decade!? I thought it was a century?

Yes one of the best rosters of any game. Well done!

Now come on!? I see him more of the Noah of rosters. Always taking a chance while others around him thinks he is nuts to waste all that time doing rosters.

# 14 Blzer @ 04/22/14 04:15 PM

Knight's name is Mike?

Go figure. I just thought it was M.K.

It's like finding out Chuck Norris first name isn't Chuck at all but Carlos.

# 16 Hockeynut99 @ 04/22/14 04:32 PM

Is his fire engine named K.I.T?

# 17 Mitchrapp @ 04/22/14 04:38 PM

Kudos to all. Thanks Mike.

# 18 phungedith25 @ 04/22/14 04:51 PM

what is this

# 19 adayinthelife @ 04/22/14 05:13 PM

Easily the best set of rosters for any game, year in year out.

Also, good on OS for the more public acknowledgement. Neat little piece.

Definitely. Although I only met him once he was an absolute pleasure (as were all of you). It was one of the great joys of my life meeting you all.

Heck, Nem and Knight went WAY out of their way ensuring I found my terminal ok and everything (newbie traveler here! LOL!).

I really enjoyed the part in the article that discussed what CD is really all about. Although I had a couple pages with my personal suggestions, guys like Mike and you (tbarnes) and thaSlab had notebooks full! Most of which were specific areas of concern taken directly from OS.

It was an honor and I really felt like everybody got a lot done.

And the SCEA team treats you like family when you're there and they take every singe one of your concerns seriously, and with respect.

This game is in good hands and with a good OS community to boot, there's no question why this is the best game out there year after year. Everybody cares so passionately and it Shows (get it?
