Hi everyone!

Wow, it seems like forever since I've posted anything out here! I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the holiday season. As someone who lives in the Philly burbs, I can only say "Wheeeeeee!"

Which reminds me, this was really cool: http://www.thefightins.com/meechone/...when-to-cheer/

Anyway, meanwhile, this post is about Major League rosters for next year. As you all know, every year we struggle mightily to get a full Major League roster set ready in time for our release. With the depth of OOTP, it's just a gargantuan task, especially when the release is near Opening Day, and it's reached a point where it's just not realistic to expect a single person to build a roster.

So, for OOTP 10, we're trying a new approach. We'll be building a large roster team, with mini-teams responsible for each Major League franchise. We'll also have some people who are in more "supervisory" roles, who will help to ensure that rosters are well-balanced across the league. We are also building some new tools that will really facilitate the creation of a robust, well balanced Major League roster by this team.

So, we're soliciting participants for the Roster Team. Roster Team members will also be members of the Beta Team, but the expectation is that these people will be focused primarily on making the best roster set possible.

If you are interested, please apply for the OOTP 10 beta team, and in the comments section, please put which team or teams you would be interested in working on, if you have a specific preference.

Thanks very much all!

Steve
