CubbyFan's 2009 MLB Roster Release Thread

[CubbyFan23]

I guess I must have uploaded the wrong file, I have no idea what's going on. I'll check it out tomorrow night.

[kagnew35]

AI is nuts, giving the Red Sox 6 pitchers, 19 position players???? This has to be a game priob doesn't it,

[CubbyFan23]

The file's obviously corrupted or wrong, I just wouldn't worry about it.

It's odd. Ran a second full-season sim and everything settled down. It's almost like OOTP opened the file and read the wrong columns. Second try, everything just fine. Numbers looked pretty good.

I want to run several season replays. What do folks suggest as the best way to do this? Save as a quickstart and keep running from that?
Backup and keep restoring when you're ready to replay the season?
I never quite understood the real purpose of the world template, but does that apply in any way?
Or, simply copy the league folder for each sim and run from the new copy?

Also, is there any way to turn injuries off completely when the season begins in April?

[CubbyFan23]

I sim through and then control+alt+delete to close OOTP so it doesn't save before I close.

Let me know what you find, this is odd.

We should all start posting results like you did, just so we can compare and make our own 2009 projections.

I guess the file's fine then? Here is it (again!):

Yes. Sorry for the scare on the first sim. I have run three more sims and everything appears fine -- except for Boston Red Sox fans. Looks like the dynasty has come to an end and the dreaded Yankees are back. Seeing surprises for Braves and Reds fans -- nothing big in post season but markedly improved teams.

Lannan 3.26 K: R. Harden 284 J. Peavy 243 J. Chamberlain 241 Looks completely fine for me, and I might start a game at once Greetings from Europe, and thanks for all the work! A.

Starting a new test sim of 2009, at may 9th, with me as commish and no team, the Red sox AI has a total of 6 pitchers, 19 position playeras on 25 man roster, has dfa'd SP Lester, SP Bowden, MR Delcameron, MR Ramirez, C Brown. Demoted SP Matsuzaka, SP Masterson, C Kottarras, 2b Green.

Is this a DB or Game prob, 2nd lg its happened with staff

Started this from ca QS I made after adjustin 25 and 40 man rosters. Is this a factor?

[mgom27]

I can conform that Cubby's 2009 Final lg doesn't like any other Leagues in it other then adding the 1977 League and then Deleting it that somebody made.
I really want to play this League with Retired People on the Free Agent Market,NFL League,94 League that was made and so on Leagues in it.

[kagnew35]

Had it happen when trying to reload
Cubbys 2009 final lg.

[Youkilis4MVP]

Just finished up a quick test sim. Like always, there were some surprises. I do think that aging and development set at 1.000 causes prospects to develop way too fast, and older players to fall off the map, but I left them be for the purpose of this sim. This is what it came up with:

Standings
New York Yankees 91-71
Tampa Bay Rays 87-75*
Boston Red Sox 85-77
Toronto Blue Jays 84-78
Baltimore Orioles 70-92

Cleveland Indians 96-66
Minnesota Twins 81-81
Kansas City Royals 80-82
Chicago White Sox 79-83
Detroit Tigers 66-96

Oakland Athletics 91-71
Seattle Mariners 75-87
Los Angeles Angels 73-89
Texas Rangers 63-99

Atlanta Braves 93-70
New York Mets 92-71*
Philadelphia Phillies 84-78
Florida Marlins 80-82
Washington Nationals 74-88

Pittsburgh Pirates 84-78
Milwaukee Brewers 82-80
St. Louis Cardinals 81-81
Cincinnati Reds 80-82
Chicago Cubs 78-84
Houston Astros 74-88

Arizona Diamondbacks 92-70
San Francisco Giants 88-74
Colorado Rockies 81-81
Los Angeles Dodgers 76-86
San Diego Padres 71-91

ALDS
Tampa Bay 3
Cleveland 2

New York 3
Oakland 1

NLDS
Pittsburgh 2
Atlanta 3

New York 3
Arizona 2

LCS
Tampa Bay 3
New York 4

New York 4
Atlanta 2

World Series
New York Yankees 4
New York Mets 2

Awards
AL MVP- Mark Teixeira
NL MVP- Hanley Ramirez
AL CYY- Joba Chamberlain
NL CYY- Dan Haren
AL Rookie- Travis Snider
NL Rookie- Luis Bautista

So, while the World Series could resemble real life, but the road there is a little strange. Like I predicted, prospects quickly took over the league (especially Bautista, who hit .336 with 33 home runs in only 301 at-bats after starting the season at AA). Josh Reddick of the Red Sox (who shouldn't even play in the majors for years) hit .291 with 25 homers. 26-year old Eric Hacker of the Yankees, along with Chamberlain, carried the team with a 12-5 record and a 3.55 ERA. Young Wade Davis of Tampa, also, went 14-5 with a 3.16 ERA. There are countless other examples of players playing well beyond their years.

A few Red Sox lowlights: Kevin Youkilis hit .217, Josh Beckett had a 4.89 ERA, Matsuzaka had a 7.61 ERA, Jason Bay hit .225... some of this can probably be blamed on the pure randomness that makes OOTP fun, some blame definately goes to the aging and development speeds, as well as the talent change randomness. What settings have others been using?

PS: Although, Youkilis' rating do seem low, albeit from my biased perspective. His projected numbers are .265/.369/.470, 22 home runs, 118 ks. Even arguing that last year was a fluke, which doesn't seem true so far in the season, that seems a little harsh.

[Loeffle]

I agree on aging and talent development. I simulated 2009 with quite fair results, then released all players and drafted new. On my active roster are maybe 13 to 15 players who I never heard of (A / AA in 2009 real life). Besides Cubby's seems to work very fine and smooth for me.

[PhillieFever]

In order to have players develop at a more correct rate, I suggest using Ronco's development model. Simply put batter and pitcher aging speed to 1.75 and batter development to .600 and pitcher development at .700 This should at the least curb the issues you are having

[eapeas]

Any update, Cubbyfan? I realize this is my first post, but I've been around since OOTP5 and forgot me login/pw, heh.

Anxious to get these rosters, since they've been pulled down!

Thanks for doing this!

[mgom27]

When I get to the First Year Draft is likes to stop and don't want the Computer to Draft for me if I Sim past that day.
