Mid-Season Roster Updates

msgbonehead · 04-28-2014, 12:00 PM

New to the game, but is there a mid-season roster update or something of the sort?

Example, Milwaukee was projected to be not too great this year but have the best record in baseball. Or Arizona was projected to be at least competitive and is currently 8-20?

Thanks

Not likely. It is a labor intensive task and I'm not sure it can be inserted into an existing game. Even if it could be done what weight would you give to the small sample size (15%) of the current season? It would have to be much lower IMO; weather has had a significant effect in the east/north.

Mid season will occur 50+ games from now. I'm comfortable thinking that Milwaukee will not be 54-21 at the 75 game mark so any influence from the hot start will be muted.

RchW thanks for the input. I was curious if one would happen at like the all-star break (thus eliminating any small sample size outliers). Whether official update or mod.

We usually release a semi-official update around Sept 1st or so. Semi-official in that it doesn't come with the game, you'll have to download it from the forums, but other than that it's the official rosters direct from the roster team, just updated to Sept 1st.
