None of the Reds players have option years as the last year, when in reality many of them do. B. Phillips, Arroyo, Harang, etc. I've found the same issue for many teams. Just posting this for anyone who wants to look at it. Thanks for everything.

Faaip De Oiad · 07-20-2009, 08:46 PM

I did a search and did not see this mentioned. Austin Kearns in the roster set has a two year deal. 8 mil and 10 mil. The second year is a team option in real life. There is no way they are picking that up. Sure would be nice to have that 10 mil to re-build with.

Hey guys, I mentioned this earlier in the thread but it wasnt acknowledged or picked up for the last patch/ data update.

I think it's a rather big set of errors, because it screws the A's financially for multiple years and seems easy to fix -

Oakland A's 2009 contracts

Jack Cust - IRL Cust makes $2.9m in 2009 (one year contract)
In OOTPX after 2009 he moves to a 5 year x $18.5m contract!

Justin Duchscherer - IRL makes $3.9m in 2009 (one year contract)
In OOTPX after 2009 he moves to a 5 year x $15m contract!

Given that the A's start with a $63m player salary budget these errors are pretty big for A's GMs.

Another very odd contract -

Marlon Byrd (Rangers) is another with a strangely wrong contract -
IRL Byrd makes $3.06m in 2009 (one year contract)
In OOPX he then moves to a 5 year $15m contract

There are a few more of these hugely backloaded, unrealistic contracts out there (bug?) which I won't bother listing - these are the major ones.

Cot's Baseball Contracts

This web site has been a godsend. I have actually gotten every opening day contract correct (including the FUBAR'd A's) and only have Texas, Toronto, and Washington to go! It is a LOT of work and I admire the original roster guy (CubbyFan23) for everything that he did. It's probably 80% plus correct on contracts and with all of the other things he had to do that is amazing.

Cots was the primary source for contracts. The contracts in the set are not bugs, per se. The contracts were set long before release. They were factually inaccurate. We were asked not to change them. That policy was reversed right before release. Not everything got corrected.

There were more than twenty people involved in the roster set. Cubby was very involved as one of the leaders and heavy-lifters.

Has anyone mentioned that Nick Adenhart has been dead since April 9th.

But the rosters are as of opening day. Myself, I leave him in the game. My baseball universe is a kinder gentler place then our own. I am sure there are others that keep him as well, For those who want to follow the actual series of events that transpired, it is easier remove him on April 9th than to add him if you want to keep him.

It is an Opening Day set. Adenhart was alive at that point. A debate took place at the time of his death. The decision was to ship the set with him on the Opening Day roster, and allow individuals to chose what to do.

Some will immediately retire him. Some will allow him to pitch one game. Some will allow him to have a chance at a long successful career.

It's your game. Play it your way.

I apologize and I stand corrected. A big THANKS to everyone involved with the roster project for OOTPX.

clamel · 07-29-2009, 06:22 PM

Sorry if this is a stupid question...

But I was thinking on Feeder Leagues to add for this standard roster.

Could I add some for the future drafts over years to come.
How...
will it make difference in the draft pool every year ???

I know nothing about feeder leagues and haven´t dared try it out, but I would like to set up some historical feeder "college teams" so fictional players for the future can be watched over their early years.

Perhaps it´s a bit more fun than just wait for the upcoming draft pool to develop.

Help me out guys

new_to_baseball · 08-04-2009, 11:12 AM

Ok, so I'm going through the demo here and I'm noticing that a lot of players have seemingly unrealistic ratings. E.g. Ichiro has only a 13 contact rating, Mark Teixeira has only 12 in contact and 13 in power, Justin Morneau has only 12 in contact and 9 in power, which seems absurdly low. My question: are these ratings how they're supposed to be or are they fixed in a patch?

You may want to check if scouting is enabled. You can do that by going to going to your manager screen and going into Commissioner Mode, then going to Game Setup and seeing if Scouting is enabled.

clamel · 08-05-2009, 01:17 PM

This was strange ....

After playing about a month into the season Minnesota and Kansas City both signed Free Agents that wasn´t in the FA pool when the game started.
The pitcher came from Bulgaria !!!!!! Must be first in ML history...

It is 99% that these guys are fictional players.

OK I know I probably forgot to tick off a certain square in Game Setup, but not sure. Only time NEW players could or should pop up IMHO in this roster set is when the draft pool come alive.

Set me straight guys ....

If "Create and Maintain Hidden Players" is checked, this allows teams to scout internationally.

new_to_baseball · 08-08-2009, 04:33 PM

Regarding pitchers' velocity, are they fairly accurate? I see that Neftali Feliz's velocity is in the mid 90's in OOTP, while in real life I think he exceeds 100 MPH.

gnomez · 08-20-2009, 04:01 PM

I dont know if Troy Glaus' contract has been reported, but it's WAY off.
Also, Charlton Jimerson is listed as 3 years of service time, when in reality he has 48 days.

gnomez · 08-20-2009, 04:03 PM

Also, I should point out that Brandon Inge has been a catcher half his career, but has no experience there. Albert Pujols should also have some rating in left field.

Inge is a design decision, Pujols may be also.

gnomez · 08-20-2009, 06:54 PM

Thanks. I read back and saw the Inge post.
Other Errors:
"Jason Burrsma," Johnson City Cardinals
His name is spelled Buursma, and he started at Single A Quad Cities. He has been very effective, both last year and this, with a minor league career ERA of 2.55. He is listed at 76 BB in 74 IP, but has a 3.1 BB/9 career in the minors.

Arquimedes Nieto, Batavia Muckdogs
He is a starter, and began the season at Single A Quad Cities. He has a very good .5 HR/9 rate career, and only 2.3 BB/9, making his 2 control potential rating a little low. He is Scout.com's #35 prospect for the Cardinals as well.

Braulio Hiraldo, Johnson City Cardinals
He never reported to camp, and has been on the restricted list all season.

Guillermo Toribio, Johnson City Cardinals
Other than starting at SA Batavia, he seems to be slightly over-rated, as his current MLEs give him a .228 BA, whereas this season between S A and A it has been .150. Nitpicking, I know.

More later.
