Use the comma delimited version.

No...on the rosters. None yet.

MLB quickstart 2.0 RELEASED

[sfeldkamp]

Umm... that QS uses a database from 6.5. Its only current to last year, and I have heard some rumblings about 6.5 databases causing wierd stats in 2006...

[Jester of Death]

But the question at hand is...are there any available made specifically for OOTP 2006?

I know there is the Databases and various imported rosters...but those have errors and the databases are only good for last season's rosters...

Now I myself am content with the databases...but my online league is in a holding pattern until one is released...so I would like to know how many are in development, and how far along each of those are...in addition to my previous question.

The CubbyFan roster thread that is stickied will provide you with answers about the most high-profile 2006 roster development.

None available from what I see. I'd imagine we'll see one popup soon. I don't remember an OOTP without a MLB roster that came out with it.

I've seen that thread, and the developer refuses to give any progress reports on how much work he's done. I appreciate the time he is putting into it, but a simple 45-50% would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside <_<

I realize that you will never see an MLB roster out along with OOTP, because of it's lack of MLB license (which is unnessacery IMO), but the game has been released for just short of a month, and there have been roster makers on the job during the beta process.

I think Cubby has been pretty good about letting us know the process he is going through. He has a quality track record.

And it takes a ton of personal time to get it done. As far as I know he is doing this (as are other roster makers) as a personal gift to the community. He is not getting paid for his time or service and I am sure on the other end there is a family and friends that wish he would not spend so much time on it I also assume that if it is rushed to release he will get a ton of "this isn't right .... this guy is rated wrong" and those posts will outweight the Thanks for your time and effort posts.

I think the very fact that people are posting "Where the Hell is it?..." already shows a lack of appreciation.

I just meant in previous versions that it seemed the MLB roster sets came out the day of the game or shortly after. I think they gave advanced copies to some roster makers in the past. It wasn't a knock, just different than years past.

I have the same personal flaw as many others on this board... I need to start with "real" players. The reason is simple, it's a short-cut to knowing who is who at the start of a simulation, ie I can look at my roster (and competitors') and immediately know who the sluggers are, who the utility players are, and who the washed up hangers-on are. Don't have to open every profile to try to figure this out. As fictional players emerge, they slowly take over; but it takes 8-10 seasons before they are a majority.

This said, I waited a couple of weeks for the Cubby Fan roster, but in the meantime downloaded the MLB 2.0 QS... and it works great!

Realistic; no crashes; has everthing you need; etc. Starting Yr 2 and I'm quite happy w/ it. Don't see any reason to concern myself with Cubby Fan's release date (No disrespect intended; just don't know why/how it could be any better than this QS)

Actually this year was no different from any other year, except in years past you could play the game without having all the levels full of players due to the ghost players in the minor leagues. Since I had to create all of the minor leaguers for this year's set, it is taking longer and that is why it has been 3 weeks since the release of the game. Unfortunately there were a couple of things that came up during the beta process of the game that caused restarts and delays in the creation of the rosters. Now with both Cubby and myself working on the file it is just a matter of time.

Now that is the kind of response I've been yearning for!
