Does anyone know if there's a workaround where you can import history for a 2009 league?

It says it has to be 2007 or before to import.

Your going to have to wait intill a Database comes out that has 08 Rosters in it.
Does anybody know of a fast way to make All-Time Rays Roster meaning everybody who has played for them on the Rays?

[CubbyFan23]

Made my own database.

Figured it out also, we're moving pretty quickly.

Have you included those guys that I found was missing. OK many of them never played in the majors but perhaps you did a MLE on them.

Hmm if I´m not too wrong Gustavo Molina never played in NY Yankees BUT New York mets.
In my version 3.1 you got him in Scranton WB Yankees. He should be in New Orleans Zephyrs.
Correct me if this is not so....

Also with Sean White in Sacramento RiverCats, A´s organization. I can´t find that he never left Seattle and played 2008 in Everett and Tacoma, Seattle minors

I think the way to deal with this is to change the setting for "generate players for X rounds" to zero (for which you get a warning message). Can anyone confirm that this solves the problem?

On a related note, if there any way to have the draft list created for this roster to be available in a format that could be imported into a newly created game (using the import historical player feature)? At least I haven't found a way to export that list from this roster.

Any news on this ??? Sounds alarming.

All Time Rays Roster:

Wade Boggs.

Done.

[yoyoma]

Will players from this years draft be in their actual organizations or will you keep the draft pool for future release

Here's the plan for the 2009 release... (a new thread will come when the new rosters come btw)

A new database is already built, the only thing I'm waiting on is to input playoff results. Everything is checked out and all the player stats are in there. The first release will include adjusted minor league systems with added first round picks from this year, as well as the updated 2009 rosters at the MLB levels. The second release will go back and add any new missing players (2nd-whatever round picks, independent league players signed to MLB clubs mid-season, etc.)

I am making sure that all of the players are there at the MLB/AAA/AA level, but the first release will be missing some guys who were NOT ALREADY in this years set (if they were, they will be there) in the A/SS/R leagues.

Hope that helps. I really don't think the first release will take long at all after the playoffs finish IRL. Also I'm going through and adding real managers at every level.

I'd like to be the first to say "WOOHOO!!"

You rock, Cubby. Watching the playoffs has me itching to start a new dynasty.

[mgom27]

I would put this out the day after the World Series is over so then the date in the Game would reflect 15 days intill Free-Agent Period starts in the League because 1-1-09 wouldn't be as fun as a date in October or even November.

I would suggest maybe you unretire all people in the League to be available to be a Coach or Player.

The All Time Rays Roster would be the one they have on MLB.com that shows every person who has played a Game with the Rays so far.

[deadringer]

Any chance you could release a version right after the regular season ended so we could play through the playoffs?

[patrickheeney]

are the first year draft players going to be on each clubs roster

pretty sure that is what he meant first release will have first round picks and next releases will add the later round players

[CubbyFan23]

Bingo.

No way to simulate the '08 playoffs that I know of at least.

[deadringer]

I'm hoping the series will be a sweep so we can get our hands on this asap!

[mgom27]

Ony way is if Edit Standings was a option and its not.

Hi,

I'm using this roster pack right now, in my first game.
A couple of questions :

1st, it is now 1st of June in the game, and I have yet to see an update on the scout reports... When will I get the updated reports from scouts?

2ndly, the players in the draft pool have no stats on them. Will they get stats when it is time to draft them?

Awesomeness, that will save me a ton of time.

Does anyone have new logos for the teams with new logos in OOTP format so I can just throw them in when I rename the affiliates to what they should be? That would help out a lot too.
