MLB The Show 16 OSFM HYBRID V1 Roster Available Now

08:06 PM - May 23, 2016 by Willard76

Alright, after many months of hard work, mostly by others not named me, we are very proud to announce the release of the 2016 OSFM HYBRID V1 - under psn - Crapinmyshoe

This year has been a special project as it was built around my son receiving his long awaited liver transplant and before I get into specifics about the roster, I would like to get thanks to our team, especially Waittilnextyear who engineered the majority of this year's edition, teeds who we also welcomed back into the fold and contributed many new faces as well as many quality control corrections, Cultbuscus who really got this thing back onto it's feet and basically gathered our team together this year, Totte who was our master of OD backdate as well as quality control, God of Nugget and Blobloblah who did a lot of the tedious work for us as well as the late Dr Illinios who managed to get himself banned from the site but still contributed.

If anyone is interested in making a donation towards the creation of this roster, I would appreciate donations made to Ronald McDonald House Toronto where I did the bulk of my work on the roster this year while my little guy recovered.

ROSTER DETAILS

This is a 40 man roster that contains the following edits;
Full roster rerate (no player untouched)
Pitch Edits from WTNY
OD roster for all MLB clubs and close for AAA and AA
No carry over stats for rookies except for Kyle Higashioka
New Faces and players added to the OSFM V1.5
Equipment edits where info was made available
Accurate Opening Day MLB lineups
Proper positioning according to Baseball Reference
So much more, you need to download and use it to believe

This roster is intended for 30 Team Control but can be played with Single Team.

You will not find another roster that plays as accurate to true life, I hate making claims like this but it is true.

Please rate the roster so non OS users will know it's worth, and most importantly enjoy it for what it is - a great baseball game roster.

I tell you what guys, I sure as **** enjoy reading posts about inquiries on ratings and general discussions and opinions on ratings rather than a bunch of boring "thanks for the roster" posts. That's what this site is all about.

Now a guy like AC should be the guy answering questions about the steamer projections and why players are either ranked high or low because he seems like he can answer something like that. More or less it seems the rest are just inputting numbers without really even knowing what theyre plugging in...

Anyone else having an issue with all of your starters taking overall hits because their morale list states they are on the bench even If they are in all four starting lineups? Even my pitchers are all listed as being in the bullpen even if they are are starters or the ace. Has anyone else seen this? Everyone on my team is listed as a bench warmer even if they platoon or start?

Oh brother. Please spare us. There's a difference between being able to explain something and feeling the need to.

This is a roster thread, so let's keep it to that. This isn't a "let me explain to you how projections work" thread. This thread was also not created with your reading enjoyment in mind, lol, sorry to say.

I'll just say that, it's based on Steamer Projections and we are not changing anyone on request. For better or worse. Luckily, you guys should have edit functions on your games/PS4s and aren't trapped into this roster as is. Furthermore, Estrada is sort of a weird case where the projections hate him, and have for some time, but he seems to have some mojo where he has avoided regression to his peripherals so far. Also, Willard doesn't have anything to do with the ratings--if he did the Jays would all be 99 (sorry, Willard lol).

Thanks for the response. I already know I can just edit him the way I like and I did, I was just curious about the reason and you clarified it.

LMAO spare me... I personally dont need any explanation. Just stating what I'm observing. You're taking this the wrong way.

This roster thread is doing exactly what it's intended to do, provoking observation, curiosity, discussion and questions. This is why I signed up quite frankly. It doesn't have to be created for my enjoyment. I'm just saying I like conversation on aspects of the thread within the thread rather than just jerking you off over the roster, know what I'm saying?

Healthy debate and good conversation is good for the mind my friend. It keeps you on your toes and keeps your brain functioning at a high level. I have no gripes with your roster. projections are projections. Just dont get so uptight when someone wants to talk about something within your roster. Other then that, you're doing alright. And if you really need it... Good job on the roster boys. The thought of doing a project like this has always crossed my mind, problem is life and work would never allow me to do something this vast and then get to be able to enjoy it...

# 186 Tomba @ 05/26/16 12:56 PM

using this roster you can SEE the difference. equip and animation pitching all look realistic.

This is a GREAT roster thank you for making it

1. Your initial tone was accusatory (you guys don't seem to know what you're doing! let AC come to everyone's rescue!), so it's more of a what you're putting out there issue as opposed to what you're getting back. If I recall, you got banned about this time last year for crossing the line with something similar and going off on someone who had sort of done their "own Hybrid roster." Sometimes, I struggle with tone also, so I can at least empathize.

2. No, this thread's main purpose is actually not discussion; it's to notify people that this roster is out there for them to use. All of the "discussion" is ancillary to that. For you, the main purpose might be discussion, but for the makers of the roster, it's the finish line not the beginning of some grand discussion.

3. If/when you do get around to that roster, and you do have people coming out of the woodwork to ask you the same questions over and over (and in some cases just flat troll you), I will be there to say the same thing. Take it easy

I see where you're coming from brother. Even as I was writing the AC thing I had a feeling it was going to come across as indifferent. What I should have said was those with questions about steamer should ask AC because he's offered his hand at answering those questions.

Ya about that incident last year... I didn't like how that particular gentleman was reacting to those who asked politely to change his roster name. He acted like an entitled classless fool and when I see things like that it irritates me so I tried to put him in his place, which I shouldn't have. I learned my lesson lol

No doubt, AC is knowledgeable about baseball statistics. We have had many a discussion going back several years mostly in the trade discussion forum. He's also just young enough to have been immersed in advanced stats as his baseball acumen was "gestating" lol. Unlike us "old-timers", who were raised on baseball cards and triple crown stats who have had to evolve from that. I do think that a "let me answer how projections work" would be a good idea for its own separate thread though. The underlying sentiment is a good one, but it would get really messy (probably even more testy in here if that's possible) in trying to make this into a multi-purpose thread like that.

# 190 WaitTilNextYear @ 05/26/16 01:37 PM

Just an aside, just wanted to say we've reached 2706+ downloads in just 4 days. I don't pay much heed to the rating % because Sony went and messed that up by allowing unlimited votes, but sorting by that we are #1 (it's a crime that OSFM isn't, imo). Anyhow, that's a pretty impressive number of downloads and it's quite satisfying to know that after plugging away for several months and fending off aggressive questioning, there are people probably getting some serious use/enjoyment out of this. Hope that some of you who held off for this roster are really starting to sink your teeth into this game now and have fun with it.

# 191 PleasedToMeetMe @ 05/26/16 01:42 PM

Need help please, as I am from Europe and my native language is not English. I really do not understand this 30team control, so could I use this roster if I only control 1 team? What happens then?

I'd suggest you go here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...m-control.html

I think the people in that thread know the most about 30-team control.

I don't think it really matters whether you use 30-team or 1-team control as far as being able to use this roster, but there's no substitute for trying it out and seeing how it goes.

# 193 dbacksfan23 @ 05/26/16 02:36 PM

I don't have the time to read through all 25 pages, so excuse me if this has been asked before, but how is it that some players in class A are rated higher than, or the same as proven MLB players? Ex: Alex Young rated the same as Rubby De La Rosa, and better than both Josh Collmenter and Tyler Wagner. He is also rated higher than top prospect Braden Shipley who is dominating at AAA right now.

Thank you, have read this, but as said, do not understand it exactly, please could you describe me how to set-up?

Not in any more detail than is in that thread already, sorry. I think if you were to ask this same question in the 30-team control thread I linked you to, you will get better results. Those guys are better at explaining 30-team control, and the video they've posted in post 1 of that thread should be helpful.

# 196 Lisac @ 05/26/16 03:44 PM

Willard/WTNY
You guys may want to look look at some of your OF'S
Im using your guys roster (awesome by the way) to make a current 25man and Ive noticed more than a handful of OF'S who throw lefty are throwing righty in Roster
Ellsbury and Gardner come to mind
Just a FYI
Great work again and
Willard you and your family are in mine and my wifes prayers!

Try searching, this has been discussed plenty.

I don't know how I missed that, I should've searched. I thought I'd read every page, but yeah, no biggie. I was just curious if there was like a rating reason or something like that, maybe usage or retirement, before I made the changes similar to your suggestion. Love the roster as always.
