About This File
Before I start i wanna thank tywiggins for his roster editor,without that program this roster wouldnt
have been made.
I started this project late july and when i had finished the rosters wouldnt work due to some error that
wasnt recoverable.I decided i didnt wanna give up so i slowly worked at it and in the meantime there have
been trades free agent signing etc so i decided to make this a pre free agent rosters.
Every name that was faked and every name of players that was in the free agwnt pool that no longer plays
has been replaced by current real names.
I used the free agent list as players who were on the disabled list and that were also late season call ups.
At the moment all the teams are on a 40 man roster so that means some of the AAA and AA teams are not
filled so i had to try and do my best and place players on those teams who had been on them before the
roster expansion.
Also one note i wanna make clear is since names have been replaced this will mean that (especially minor
league pitchers) and will have whatever abilities of the person he replaced.So u may find u have a
starting pitcher in the minors but was in actual life a reliever or u may find they throw a curveball
when in actual life they dont.With thousands of names replaced i didnt wanna have to search them all
just to get correct abilities.Of all the names i changed this is what i changed
birtdates
Ht and wt
jersey numbers the best that i could find
skin colors to the best of my knowledge
all right handed lefthanded and switchhitting roles should be correct
and in some cases i changed positions so that i could even out teams
i made each team have 11 pitchers and the rest fielders, again to even things out
i didnt change batting orders but what i did do was make sure every player on every team went a season
to where all will have stats so u shouldnt find any player in the major and minor league systems that
didnt play.I figure since most pitching staffs have majority of right handers that all(actual) starting lineups
would face right handed pitchers while backups would face the left handers.Ive ran tests on my rosters
and the results look pretty much what an actual season stats would look like.
I know that there may still be some errors in some of the things i changed but at least now all names are real.
And i know mlb2k10 will be out in a couple months but this roster can be a base for those that wont be getting
the new game.If anyone wants to use this roster as a base to update go ahead, this is the whole purpose
i started this project to help keep thinsg up to date
TO INSTALL:add the ros file to the application data/2ksports/mlb 2k9/saves folder
then run the game and load the roster
