He has zero command on his breaking balls. It's not just the pitchers there are a few position players that should not have B potential it's just not consistent with the other teams ratings. My team, the Reds (has a much better system than the Brewers), for example has three B potential SP's, one of whom was a first rounder last year just like the Brewers SP's. I would have zero problem if I could edit the potentials of guys, but well we can't do that.

I agree that he only has 2 good pitches. But his Changeup is his best pitch and he still has a ton of time to develop a decent curve. He is much more suited for a B, but one could see why he has the A. Rogers, Rivas, and Heckathorn are questionable. And i also just saw Jorge Lopez and Jimmy Nelson are B's, also unlikely. The Brewers are going to be very good for a very long time with this pitching. Any one of these starters on the Brewers would all be better than any Giants starting prospect.

Oh wow, I need to dumb down Bryce Harper just a little. The kid who struggled in Double-A last season is better than many starting OF in the game.

Great rosters otherwise though.

That said, I always gave a lower potential if I wasn't sure. But it feels like this discussion might be better off in the corrections thread, since that's why it was made. Glad to have been a part of the project and thanks to everyone else who contributed in any way as well!

For someone who is completely new to The Show/PS3, how do I even begin to think about downloading these rosters. I literally know nothing about the process--terminology, where to start, what a .zip file is, etc. Can anyone help me out? I'd appreciate it immensely.

(65+ grade=A, 55-60=B, etc.) How many sim's did you guys run and for how many years? I haven't ran one yet with these rosters but just with my experiance in tuning the ratings for the M's it seems like there's alot of 2010/11 draft picks that are still a few years away from the majors that would be peaking 3 years into a franchise. I'll run a sim and post results but thats just from glancing over the rosters. Since it seems like there's alot of high potential guys could I recreate a couple guys for the M's? (depending on how this sim works) Overall, great work by everyone. It's kinda funny seeing how people do faces. Some guys round the facial features, others emphasis any little thing.

I've heard from a few people that player's barely progress now. If that's the case, I have no issues with there being more A rated players or a ton of B rated players with higher than usual attributes (for OSMF rosters).

From what I heard, players with B potentials will basically be worthless for years to come unless they are rated a little higher than they usually are.

If there's a stat simulation thread, can someone post a link? If there's not, someone should create one.

Thanks for all the kind words. Those that are finding " fault" with the rosters remember its a Spring Training version for a reason...these rosters were cranked out in 4 weeks which is an incredible time forbthe amount of work involved. All I ask is you show respect to the creators of this great thing. Each Team creator put lots of time into it..and even though you may not agree with ratings, pitches or whos version of what players in the game....you would not have this roster tonight without all involved. Again thanks for all the kind words and enjoy...

PLAYBALL!!!!

Head over to Community and then "Vaults" and you should find Rosters there to download. No PC required, just a PS3 with internet access.

Thank you to everyone who has worked on these. You guys have made my first year playing The Show some of the best gaming of my life so far. I thank all of you for adding the never ending gameplay that you just did

This is called the Spring Training edition right? I think I can figure that out, but are there other editions? If so what are they and how will they be different.

I'm trying to figure out if I should start my franchise with these or wait...

Thanks so much!!
