On the Astros, Tyler White should be on the opening day roster, Matt Duffy is in AAA

That would be a AL decision.

Matt Garza has been out all season so far with a lat strain. In the game, he is listed as healthy and in the Brewers rotation.

He began his rehab assignment on 5/31 and should be back with the major league club very soon, but he shouldn't be healthy in the Opening Day roster set.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but something I noticed after the (real) MLB draft this year was that a lot of the top picks didn't really correspond with the top OOTP prospects. For instance, guys like Moniak, Ian Hamilton, Joey Wentz (who in game isn't even rated as a pitcher), second round pick but first round talent Bryan Reynolds etc. are 3rd or 4th round types in game (that's where they went when I auto drafted). Is anything planned to update the draft class to more accurately reflect the abilities of draftees and allow for a better simulation of the 2016 draft?

Yes, absolutely. We've already made quite a few changes and more are on the way.

That being said, if you're playing with scouting on, the results will not necessarily accurately correspond to the players real-life or in-game talent, as scouting randomizes things quite a bit.

I have already re-rated or fixed issues with all the players so far from Rds. 1-6 ... 34 new players added so far as well.. Also adjusted a lot of the players drafted in the first few rds. that didn't go until the teens..stay tuned

Great, glad to hear it. Looking forward to the update. I thought I had done some tests with scouting off but maybe not.

I'm sure you did. I was just stating that as a general note of interest. Wasn't saying you were wrong at all.

haveband,
do you eventually plan to add all the draftees?
Just curious cus I was thinking of beginning to collect pics for aas many as I can possibly find for facegens if you guys are gonna plan on adding most if not all of them

Yes, of course we'll add them all:) We always do. They may not all show up till OOTP18, as the draft pool is limited in size, but we will add everyone drafted this year to the db at some point between now and and next year.

I honestly didn't know the draft classes were limited, I thought it was based on th settings in the game.. See, we learn something new everyday

For fictional it is based on settings, but in the MLB quickstart, the real classes are limited. Forget exactly what to. Iirc. it used to be 1100 but Markus upped it to 1250 or 1300, though I may be a little off on that.

Since there are tons of pretty decent HS guys who don't get drafted irl due to high demands, some of them tend to crowd out some of the more modest players in the pool, D3 or NAIA seniors etc.

gotcha...
Well I'll be working on rounds 5 and up soon enough

Brewers GM David Stearns is listed as being from Manhattan, IL in the game, when I believe he is actually from Manhattan, NYC.

quick question for Lukas and Haveband..
is the changes to the draftees in this patch or the next one?
Thanks again for the work guys

Yep, gonna add them all.. At my current pace I should be done by this time next week... I'll also be adding all the non-drafted free agents that sign to the draft pool as well... So I'll keep updating those signings as they come in

Rounds 1-13 done

I figured it was only gonna take me a week to finish, but looks like that isn't gonna happen, so I look to this time next week to be done. Added some of the NDFA signings as well so far as they get reported.

Team name typo: the Dominican league's "Diamonbacks 2" should obviously be "Diamondbacks 2"

EDIT: Also, the Can-Am league (in-game, this is the second subleague of CAAA) still has a blank second division.

EDIT 2: Zach Booker (C, Norfolk Tides - BAL AAA) is injured with no diagnosis.

Hey everyone .. I noticed a few retired players are missing their "HOF Metrics" on their HISTORY, and also missing their LEADERBOARD APPEARANCES stats. for ex: Magglio Ordonez ..

This needs to be posted in the historical thread.

i figured this was a roster issue .. ok i will post there too ..

I believe that 6 players that went in the top 75 picks in last week's draft (first 2 rounds) are missing from OOTP's 2016 draft class:

TJ Zeuch (21st overall)
Will Smith (32nd)
Dylan Carlson (33)
Keegan Akin (54)
Brandon Marsh (60)
Mitchell White (65)
AJ Puckett (67) *listed as retired with 2014 college stats
Travis Macgregor (68)

Also Ronald Washington, a high school OF who has gone very high in every draft I simmed, does not graduate high school in 2016 according to Perfect Game. He graduates in 2017.

Ronald Washington Eligible For 2016 Draft - BaseballAmerica.com

Not sure what to think since PG does have him as a 2017.

As for the missing guys, we've already added everyone missing from the first 13+ rounds;)

Very strange indeed!

Will those missing players be in the next patch/roster update?

That BA article says he was working towards graduating early, but I can't find any article that actually says he graduated early. So maybe something changed the plan along the way?
I can't find a more current article yet

Either the next one or the one after that, not 100% certain.

Seems logical.

At the beginning of the MLB quickstart, 13-year old Luis Veloz is listed as an international free agent, which seems too young. There are six 15 year olds listed, but they'll be turning 16 during the season so they're probably OK.

He was born December 15, 1999, apparently. So he should be 16.

Also, I wasn't even aware the editor could put someone at 13 years old - the usual minimum I see is 14.

How are things going?

Any idea when we might see an update with these players included?

Thanks for your Great effort on this project. I know it is a long tiring process and takes great discipline to finish.

This is tougher and more annoying :) than I thought. Taking us longer to churn them out... Currently on Round 27 pick #802 Cole Gruber. Lukas and I are hard at work on it... There's a ton of players from rds. 28-40 already there, some are rated wrong and need to be fixed... There's also about 50 or so newly created NDFAs in the set that are also draft eligible. We'll let you know once we're done....

Also, we're backed up adding more July 2nd prospects to the game now that scouting reports are finally being made available. Haven't added too many, maybe about 15/20 more. I imagine we'll be busy on the 2nd...sigh.. it's never ending

I run a team in an online league that uses fictitious players. Scouting is turned off. There are 20 teams in the league but we only have 16 active GMs, so the remaining 4 teams are under AI control. But they give us constant problems because they waive and/or release several players every sim, including some of their very best players. This causes three problems. First, it makes the league something of a farce, seeing a team releasing young players with 4-star ratings. Second, it weakens those AI teams so badly that it makes it almost impossible for us to find guys willing to take control of them. Third (and most importantly), it forces our commissioner to constantly monitor everybody's roster to make sure that some GM isn't gaining an unfair advantage by scooping up some of these players as soon as the AI teams release them. It's caused a lot of hard feelings ... "Hey, where'd you suddenly get that 4-star pitcher? You didn't have him the last time I played you." "Well, he was a free agent, so I was free to sign him." "Yeah, but a drone team released him and you're not supposed to touch players released by drone teams." "Well, I guess I didn't notice." "How long have you had him? How many games has he won for you?" "I don't remember, but if you take him away from me now, I'm going to quit."

This sort of thing is a definite buzzkill. Can't the AI be set so that it only releases players with a 1-star rating or less? (I'm talking POTENTIAL ratings too, of course ... some of the players released in our league are 19-year-old kids who may be 1-star right now but they have 4-star potential, and no GM in his right mind would release a guy like that.) Doesn't seem like it should be too hard to get the AI to check a player's star rating before cutting him. For that matter, I'm not sure why the AI teams feel compelled to release somebody every sim. AI teams don't make trades, so it's not like they've suddenly acquired new players and need to make roster room for them. The whole business of AI teams constantly waiving/releasing players is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

This sort of thing generally only happens when you have roster limits set at the lower levels of the minors. It's not an issue with the basic game, it's an issue that certain specific settings can trigger though. To clear it up, it should be as simple as removing the roster limits in rookie ball.

Beyond that, this isn't the right place to post this sort of problem as the proper people to help with the issue aren't going to see it here.

You'll want to post it in a new thread the bug report forums. This thread is just for issues with the real player MLB/International roster set:)

As a preemptive note regarding the voided Red Sox contracts, we have a clear precedent to keep them in the Boston organization in the roster set.

They were in the Red Sox system on Opening Day, which was the same reason Trea Turner was listed as a Padre in OOTP 16.

True... But if we release a post July 31st Roster which may actually happen, then we'll make the move. They'll stay put for now.

Adam Warren bug
 

Not sure if this should go here, but Adam Warren has a very particular bug. I noticed it in OOTP 16 as well. In my 2016 quickstart, Warren hit 46 batters during the year. He also hit 7 batters in four playoff innings.

I play in commissioner mode and can edit players, but Warren is set to hit only an average of 7 batters per 550 batters faced. The same thing happened in OOTP 16 in a different league. There must be something up with his coding or something.

I think Matt fixed that recently. It should show up next patch.

1938 Southeastern league
 

Hi, not sure if this is a problem or not, thought I would check though
I just started playing the 1938 season and am playing in the 1938 Southeastern league
In the game only 3 teams are affiliated Anniston Rams CHW
Jackson NYY Montgomery Phillies
in the BB REF Those are all correct But Meridian is supposed to be STLB and Mobile is supposed to be the Cardinals and Pensacola is supposed to be the Dodgers.
Also in the game it says Mobile is affiliated with the Cardinals but does not show up as one of the Cardinals farm teams
and when I went to start playing as Mobile last night I received mail telling me of players that were moved up and down from the GM but it was the white sox gm who is affiliated with Anniston

Pensacola and Meridian are fixed.

The rest are already correct.

Thanks for reporting this.

I just tried 1938 season again after downloading the latest patch and they still do not show up
The Mobile shippers still say the St. Louis Cardinals are the parent team
but nowhere in St. Louis organizational structure are the Mobile shippers
Maybe I am doing something wrong. and Pensacola and Meridian still do not have a parent team.

They won't show up in game for months maybe not until OOTP18 even but they have been adjusted.

Ok thank you very much.
Is there a way to manually adjust them for the time being?
I just wanted to play out the 1938 Southeastern minor league season

Sure. Game settings / Leagues / Set the affiliations in the teams list

not sure if anyone has reported that Adam Warren is corrupted in the 2016 roster set, and regularly hits over 50 batters a year

Thank you very much, worked like a charm

Ian Desmond could use a rating in CF and perhaps a bump in OF range.

Done!

I think I've posted this before but Marco Hernandez, Red Sox prospect bats lefty and in the game he is batting right.

Also, I dont know where to put this but under the Red Sox retired numbers # 26 meant for Boggs which they retired this year has a write up for Dwight Evans?
