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

Bought the game on my lunch hour, today. Wasn't even gonna bother with it until the OSFM rosters were close to a release. That's the respect I have for you guys and your work. Thank you so much!

Anytime there is a hazy eta with anything hotly anticipated there will be anxiousness for the arrival. No need to white knight for people who are creating 20 year old baseball players in a video game.

Been wanting to make this post for weeks, just didn't know how to word it.

Church.

# 63 Dynasty Legend 99 @ 04/15/16 02:34 PM

Really Excited for this year's iteration. I can tell there as been a huge commitment to excellence in this year's version. Truly great work and can't wait for release! Whenever that may be!

# 64 Reckless559 @ 04/15/16 02:36 PM

I really really really hate being patient cause i am really not that patient to begin with but i will wait just cause i know when these come out their gonnna beee amaaazzzinngg:P

# 65 JayD @ 04/15/16 02:39 PM

I just hope that a patch drops fixing base running at the same time these rosters are released. That would be perfect.

# 66 myghty @ 04/15/16 04:29 PM

TMZ just reported that the rosters were completed days ago already & that Ridin & Knight have been pretending to work on them but in realilty, they've been having a good ol' time playing franchise since then...

TMZ is also reporting record profits from the number of hits OS is getting from people hitting the refresh button in the MLB The Show forums. An unidentified reporter said that that the Q&A session on Twitter may be an attempt to further inflate those numbers. Owner of OS was unavailable for comment to confirm and/or deny these allegations.

# 68 Cappo2e @ 04/15/16 05:14 PM

I started playing the show last year and really really loved the osfm rosters. Thank you for your time and effort. You guys rock. Greetings from Germany!

What's funny I have been doing roster and stat edits since tony larussa baseball and my wife has helped me every year

In online franchise mode with a fantasy draft, do free agents from the OSFM roster show up? I did a test with an imported roster and did not see free agents on the draft.
