Roster set issues go here!
 

Hey guys,

we want to constantly improve the real roster set, so please post issues you run across here once the game is released. Keep in mind though, it is not Opening Day yet, so these rosters are meant to be projections and obviously not the final version.

Please do not post issues with players being on wrong roster / lineup / pitching staff spots, the AI sets these up and there is nothing we can do to force player X to be used in a certain predefined way.

Also, do not post stuff like "Trout just hit .260 in my sim, this cannot be right." or "Why has X better ratings than Y?". Posts like these will be ignored! Major league player ratings are based on ZiPS projections, not opinion.

Please, please before you make any comments in this thread that touch on ratings or rankings, turn off scouting. If you're commenting when you still have scouting on, it's inaccurate, confusing and a waste of both our time and your own.

Please post here:
- Errors in contracts
- Issues with players being in the wrong organization
- Vastly wrong player ratings (disable scouting first so you see the real ratings), for example a Double-A scrub having allstar-calibre ratings

Thanks for helping!
Markus

Also in regards to top 30/100 prospects... We're working hard on those right now and should have 'em finished up hopefully on Tuesday.

What I am looking for are the over/underrated guys. I saw a lot of examples of guys, especially MR with extremely high Movement ratings. If you find examples of these please post them here... I will be around all day answering questions and fixing issues that need fixing. Lukas and the other guys will chime in later in the day.

Enjoy the game guys.......

Thanks for all your feedback guys. Just to reiterate what Markus mentioned, because it's both important and easy to forget, I forgot it myself yesterday:o, please turn off scouting first if you're planning on posting here.

As Howard mentioned, the prospect lists are not yet finished. So top 100, team top 20-30's etc. are all in need of polishing. We're working on those though, and should have them sorted soon!

There absolutely will be some ratings that are a bit off, especially among current minor leagues present ratings. So don't get worked up about it, just let us know and we'll get them straightened out :)

Not sure if its a roster problem but on mac all batters are rated 21 except for about five cuban guys

That's certainly some sort of weird setting combination causing this. Try this: Game menu -> Game settings -> "Recalc all Ratings + Run Full Rescout" (left side, 6th row).

Jarred Smith (???) Here is exact line from 2016 media guide "2015: Did not pitch due to injury and retired prior to the start of the season". My guess is he decided to come back otherwise why list him in guide.

The entire Mets organization is overrated to all hell. Scouting is off + rate all players relative to MLB is on:

Image link (breaks the resolution): http://i.imgur.com/dLb4uUK.png

(not that I mind having approximately 20 relievers in the organization rated 80/80, of course. Please, keep this in the game (I'm kidding don't do that))

Switch relative ratings off. Seems like that screwed things... or hit the ratings recalc button in the global setup, scouting options.

Height and weight issues:

* Barbaro Rodriguez (RP, Holguin Cachorros) has height/weight of 0.
* Christian Dicks (LF, draft-eligible) and Lin-Wei Kuo (RP, Tainan Lions) both have wraparound height, i.e. a larger value than the game can handle.
* James Baldwin (RP, free agent) has weight of 2015 lb.

Potential "red flag" ratings (all on 1-100 scale, non-relative)

* Hiroyasu Tanaka (2B, Tokyo Yakult Swallows) has a Sac Bunt rating of 112, no other player is higher than 101.
* Shaun Little (SP, draft-eligible) and Drew Parrish (SP, draft-eligible) have Stamina > 100. An inordinately high percentage of the best-stamina players are draft-eligible for some reason.

Hunter King (draft-eligible) has no default position despite being able to play 2B/SS according to his ratings.

I did that, and get the same results.

Should I just play with relativistic ratings off for the time being?

Legacy issue from last year, sort of:

Luis Yander La O (3B, free agent) has been going by several different names: Baseball-Reference has him as Luis Yander, and later OOTP 16 patches had him as Luis Yander La O Camacho. I assume there was a reason for you to revert his name to what it was in early OOTP 16 patches, but there are so many sources going around that I can't tell what name he's actually going by.

Yes. Relative ratings have been screwed up for a while.

You sure you have MLB selected as the relative league? I just tested it here and it works fine... not sure what is going on for you :( I suggest disabling relative ratings and see if re-enabling them helps.

Also, feel free to send over your league files (How to FTP files to OOTP Developments - Powered by Kayako Help Desk Software) and we can have a look and hopefully fix things if there's a bug somewhere :)

I started a new dynasty and everything's fixed. Not sure what was up with that.

Edit: Just figured it out. If you go to AI Settings and reweigh the player evaluation settings, things go wonky.

Fixed

Thanks for all the info... In the future though, can you post a lot of these in one post so as not to flood the forum with too many posts... Makes it easier.... Fixed these issues by the way...Thanks

Houston Astros 3B Matt Duffy is missing from the game.

Also, Marwin Gonzalez should have some 1B rating. He played 212 innings there last year.

Duffy is there under Matt E. Duffy.... I actually fixed Marwin late last night after watching the Astros ST game... Guess it didn't make it in in time.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I noticed a duplicate player (with different ratings) in one of the historical roster sets.

On the 1972 San Francisco Giants, Jim Ray Hart has separate listings at 2B and 3B.

I'm loving the new version BTW - been playing since around 1999-2000 and having historical minor leagues are a great addition for an old fart like me!

Yeah, I will get this info to the guys to check it out....Thanks

Cespedes' Year 1 salary is 10m off. Game has it as 17.5m when in reality it's 27.5m

In the 2004 roster, there are two copies of Kevin Youkilis; one with Boston, the other with Pawtucket.

As for the current roster, there's an 1853 year-old scouting director in the available personnel. Additionally, nearly everyone's normal occupation is screwed up. The GMs are listed as Bench Coaches, the trainers are listed as scouts, and the managers are listed as GMs.

Kid, let me tell you the story about Urgh Urg, he could take a stone club and hit lion's heads 350 feet.

17.5 is correct... the extra 10 mil was the signing bonus for his contract

The game does this itself, Idk why. you'll want to report this in the regular bug report thread, not here as we can't do anything about it;)

Anything regarding historical roster bugs should probably be reported in the regular bug report thread as well for now. We can pass the info on, but it's also not really anything we can handle.

Not sure if this is applicable, but I think I heard somewhere that, because he served some of his suspension in the AFL, Tigers AA SS JaCoby Jones' suspension is 36 games and not the full 50. I understand if you guys want to keep the 50, though, but I know I heard something to that effect somewhere.

Other than that, with my limited play time, I have no other problems to report at the moment.

I will look into this and see. Thanks

JaCoby Jones has 38 games left on suspension

Tigers' JaCoby Jones suspended for 50 games | MLB.com

Michael Brantley being on the 60 Day DL should be removed. He'll be in the lineup for the Indians tomorrow, and it's looking like he'll be in the lineup on Opening Day.

Chris Johnson is still under the big contract he signed with the Braves in the game.

The Marlins signed him as a FA in January after being released.

Lukas, since I'm not as powerful as you,
Can you create a sticky for the historical minor's issues....we really need that as dupes, stats, teams and such we need to fix not Markus.

Done!

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...s-go-here.html

Ive tried that already. Im running mlb quickstart with ai evaluation 45/30/15/10 for evaluation. Is that the problem? I started a historical and it was fine

For some reason, almost all pitchers have zero saves in their 2015 stats. Zach Britton has 36 saves listed, but most other RP I looked at have zero.

Small thing, but I noticed pitcher David Holmberg, who is in the Braves organization, has really low movement ratings (7 and 5). Doesn't seem right.

This is being worked on. Seems there was a bug in the importer.

Fixed.

Yep sure was and now I got to reup 30,000 plus stats again...no one has any saves recorded, just the few I manually added.:ohmy:

Fun for you:(

Oh crap, this must be true of the international leagues as well then:angry:

Fun for me too:crying:

Are we using this for historical minors, too? If NOT, please direct me to the right place and I will move this comment over there.

From 1930-1933, the Mississippi Valley had at least one, and as many as six, affiliated teams, but it does not appear in the game (at least as of 1932). Mississippi Valley League

Just something to keep track of for the future.

ok I was bored this morning and noticed the CPBL started play today. So I decided to test my chinese (ok my browser translater) and check out the rosters. Here is a complete list of what I found.

Jordan Zimmerman of the Detroit Tigers is checking in at a 36 overall with scouting turned off, I AM a Tigers homer, but that seems a bit off based on his ZIPS projection.
