capa Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I believe the first release of Total Classics is going to fill all levels of minor league teams with classic teams, and leave the major league clubs as is (current day rosters). Based on this, will we be able to play any type of season mode, or are we regulated to exhibitions between the teams? Since the game moves players around based on injury and/or progression, won't that ruin any type of season play? It would be odd to see Lou Brock playing for the 27 Yanks or something along those lines. Would we be better served to add an additional 31 teams and overwrite the current major league teams, turn injuries and trades off, and restrict any types of roster moves so as to keep all the teams intact? I did this with last year's game and it worked out well. What do you guys think? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm know I'm being selfish here (sorry :oops:), but I'd prefer that the Major League teams be left as is and only the minors contain the Classic Teams. I only play exhibition games so that I can have the Yankees play whoever and wherever I want. By having a single roster with the Classic Teams and the current Major League teams, I can play a game with the Classic teams or I can play a game with the current major leaguers. It all depends how I'm feeling that day. Again, that's just my opinion, and I'll gladly use whatever comes out for a Classic roster. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Capa, You are correct. Total Classics isnt't built for Dynasty Mode since there has been no mods that have come out that eliminates minor league callups. However as an option one can create an .mbe roster with Minor Leagues having very reduced ratings via MVPEdit's Global Change capability fairly easily. Then they can poplulate the MLB slots of that .mbe roster with Major League Teams of their choice from the available ones provided via Total Classics and set Injuries very low in the Sliders. Then you can then undertake a reasonably realistic Season in Dynasty Mode. Take Care, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct...one the roster is released, people can export and save teams, and then read them back in at the major league leve for those they want to play a season mode with. That should work for most people... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I played the total classics from 2004 and turned off cpu initiated trades and none of the players were called up-I was able to play the entire season with the teams intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 first release i think will keep MLB as is and all the minor leagues replaced. ahh, another long night of adding logos lies ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgersfan7800 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 So this only affects Exhibition? If you are doing season/dynasty/owner the game stays as is? Or did I completely miss the whole point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capa Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 So this only affects Exhibition? If you are doing season/dynasty/owner the game stays as is? Or did I completely miss the whole point? The first release will have the current ML teams intact and all the minors will be classic teams. This would not be the roster set you'd want to use for a dynasty mode if you want to use real minor leaguers and have them called up, since you will not have real minor leagues...you will have classic teams taking those slots. The next release will have additional classic teams ovewriting the current ML teams as well. Does this answer your question? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbernard Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I never got past 2 weeks in 2004 without callups whether the cpu trades were on or not, because I wasn't going to take the time to change everyone's star ratings. Finally one time I gave up and called up Tinker, Evers, and Chance to the Royals along with I think Babe Ruth the pitcher and other "minor leaguers." It was surreal, the Royals were an all-time all star team. This year will be better because you can play any game in any park instead of just the minor league stadiums.

Peter, The way around callups last year was to use MVPEDIT to make all minor leaguers ratings like a "1" across the board and turn off injuries and cpu trades to the ML teams/players.

peterbernard Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah, Capa, that's why I said it was because I wasn't going to take the time to change everyone's star ratings. It was fun the way I played it too. I traded for the outfielder Babe Ruth and had him DH for pitcher Babe Ruth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh..ok...I wasn't sure if you knew about the Global edit function in Mvpedit...takes about 5 secs to do the whole minors...but now I see you preferred to play that way...that's cool. How did the Babe do against today's pitchers?? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 GLOBAL EDIT? Is that in version 3 of this year's? Because I can't get the latest version to function, I still use #3. I knew not of this global edit. What strange mysteries you have born witness to! Okay, back to work for me, see ya later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Are you guys saying that by changing all of the star ratings there will be no callups in dynasty mode?? Will reducing star ratings affect how these players perform in the game when under cpu control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
