Well it's tricky but we take early season success and combine it with historical data, our Trevor Story is lower

I would say right now 5-6 people but overall probably 20-25 since this is based on last year as well

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.

# 22 Buccosback @ 04/15/16 10:47 AM

March 29- game release

he said the process was speeding up as they went

April 12- game is at 80% completion

14 days to get 80% done

5.7%/day

If its now april 15 at roughly 6%/day it would be at 98% complete. it being done this weekend wouldn't surprise me but they are also going to go through the rosters again when they're done to make sure they got everything correct and make any roster moves that happen that day.

Thanks everyone for your hardwork!

And what remaining "work" will you be doing Friday night? Talk about feeling entitled. These guys could always just keep this roster to themselves rather than sharing with the rest of us.

# 25 Armor and Sword @ 04/15/16 10:59 AM

I have been quite busy playing the game....when it comes out....it comes out. I always appreciate all the roster makers here. The modding community here at OS is second to none.

Enjoy the game. So much to do. Hell SOTS has been a blast setting up. Crazy I know. But since it is my fist time using it....it has been so cool editing every walk up file and hearing all the different music players use!!! Setting up all the stadium sounds....awesome fun. By the time I am done....yeah anyway enjoy the build up.

The point of a journey is not to arrive.

# 26 Ice27 @ 04/15/16 11:11 AM

This is starting to feel like more of a press event than a community project but I'm excited to hear some info none the less

Are people not supposed to have lives? They don't get paid to do this, I'm pretty sure they have other things going on besides doing a baseball roster for a video game.

The fact that they got this far this quickly is shocking to me. People are damn near demanding it at this point. They do this for free, out of their own time and kindness to do this for us .

No one made you buy the game before the osfm rosters were completed. The osfm team never gave a tentative release date on ANYTHING. You wanna throw a fit about not being able to play your $65 game? You surely can play it, you just choose not too because you're waiting for free rosters from a group of guys who just have a passion for the game.

Unbelievable how entitled some people are. Go enjoy your weekend and the rosters will be here before you know it.

We get your point, you've made it every other comment.

You need to chill out and realize these are hobbies. We have jobs and families. You're tone has been absolutely inappropriate and downright disrespectful.

You're walking on a thin line. Tread lightly.

So hi, how are you?

Since you aren't aware of what is going on with the actual creation of the roster behind the scenes, it would be nice to give benefit of the doubt to the creators to actually understand what would cause a delay and what wouldn't.

Second - it's a FREE roster. No one here pays ANYTHING for it. So the minute you feel entitled to anything from the roster creation team you are welcome to see yourself off of OS as that isn't what this site is about.

Ok guys relax lol... No time is being taken away from the set to answer questions. This is basically to answer some basic questions that we all keep getting hit with all day long, besides the obvious one lol. This is a tremendous amount of work that is being done and has been done already by this amazing community. So we figured it would be a fun way to get the hype up before release. I will also provide you guys with an update during the Q&A as to where we stand at that time and possibly, yes possibly an idea of when they will be released. Work is fluid and being done all day long by someone so it just depends on what gets done and where I feel we are at tonight with what's left on my end. Willard will be available during the Q&A as well to help answer questions. By the way the work his face team including new addition Bigpoppawilly and the other OS vets have done is tremendous and makes this set far superior to anything ever released. There is a lot of things to be excited about with these rosters this year for all of us and anything I can share tonight I will. I do have a few asks before tonight though..

1.lets not make every question "when will it be released or what's the status".. I will answer that if I can at some point during the Q&A so just ask a diff question

The types of questions we will answer are around ratings, some sneak peak of pics like last night.. Players who made it in, transactions and anything u guys wanna know about the face artists, the creators or even the man, the myth, the one and only Wizard of err.... I mean Knight, lol. Knights not on Twitter but he will be there in spirit, so let's have fun with this and keep it light. Once again thanks to Steve, Millenium and all the guys at OS who provide us this great place. See you guys on Twitter tonight!

Hmm the press and the media? That's an idea!!! Relax its fun... If you don't wanna participate you are welcome not to

# 34 JayD @ 04/15/16 11:52 AM

Would love to see Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies of the Braves. With how bad we are this year we may even see them come up this year. At least the Twins are equally as bad and we're not the only ones.

Is it safe to assume that the free agents barring real life signings moving forward are set in stone? Would love to get a few screenshots of the free agents so our league can knock out the 1-2 round free agent draft. I heard Cuban players are in free agency is this true?

# 37 RidinDwnKingsley @ 04/15/16 11:55 AM

I'll post a pic of Albies tonight and talks about free agents and international prospects
