D.M.Z. Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Now Available Version 0.8 I have uploaded a default roster which is still in beta form. Eighty percent of the roster is complete. The following is the description of the roster: *This roster is a beta version, 272 players still need to be created and are currently named (fake,fake). The roster was released early to determine interest. ID #'s will follow Tony3's spreadsheet and Hory's player ID thread as players are created. Version 0.8 This roster contains the following: *Updated Major League Roster using Patch 3. Transactions and Jersey #'s. NOTE: EA created players have not been edited in any other way. *Players on 15 day DL still on Major League roster. Those on 60 day DL are on AAA roster or in some cases AA roster. *Career/Year by Year statistics added through Lahman Database with MVP Edit for players with previous MLB experience. *Lineups and pitching rotations were determined from cbssportsline.com. *All Star rosters updated to reflect 2005 roster. Thanks Krawhitham for the FAQ. *All prospects in the Baseball America Prospect Handbook, 900 total, are included in the roster. Editing reflects the profiles of each player. EX: pitch types, ratings etc. *All players included that played in the World Futures Game. *Nearly all the players whose hidden audio ID's that were determined earlier in the year are included. An Excel spreadsheet containing the players ID's with associated team is included in the download. *Photos were examined for nearly all players to reflect their appearances. Sources used were minorleaguebaseball.com, mlb.com, google searches and ebay (baseball cards). *Photo ID's follow Tony3's Spreadsheet and Hory's player ID thread in MVP MODS forum. *NOTE* This roster uses default face ID #'s and is not compatible with any model big file that contains updated/created faces. ID face numbers will have to be changed in MVP EDIT or another program to use updated/created faces. Roster Updated through 7/13/05 Comments are encouraged.

gamer101 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I haven't had a chance to download yet, but have you added rookies, like first few rounds or is it just based on BA handbook of top 20 or top 10 for the minors. Thanks again for the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Z. Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 The top 30 rookies for each team have been included and I've begun to include this years first round draft players if they've already signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer101 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Thanks, that is awesome, if the ratings match the real player's skills great job on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Z. Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 I attempted to rate players based on the ratings of the baseball america's top 100 that were already in the game. I adjusted ratings according to the level at which they are playing. The best I figured that I could do is examine statistics of these players, read prospect profiles and determine their ratings based on which level in the minors that they are on. If a player is known for speed, arm strength etc., I attempted to give those values accordingly without making them too much better than the older players in higher levels. It is a difficult task; basically this is just my version of a roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1927yankee Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 sounding good i think there will be much more interest when all the players are real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Z. Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 The major league and AAA level are complete. I'm now attempting to finish the AA level and finally wrap up the remaining players in A ball, including the remaining signed first round picks.

mroctober430 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'll download when it's finished. It sounds like it's going to be great. When will it be finished? Just wondering. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer101 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Have you checked out the Reverend's rookie roster for additional rookie info. If possible would love combo of both as even more realistic. Oh, any idea when final update with A ballers. Thanks again for the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
