MLB 12: The Show

[RyanLeaf16]

I started my franchise tonight. Found a roster named "64 Hours-EDIT" that has all the minor league players. I went to play my first ST game and saw that only 25-man rosters are available in ST, thus, rendering ST useless in this game.

I simmed to the end of ST and have yet to actually play a game, but, my first series is against the Yankees at The Trop

I play 1 game, sim 5, play 1, sim 5, etc.

Only need I really have is for a backup catcher and solidifying the SS position. I won't make any moves till much later in the season though.

Those are a pretty decent find rosters wise. Some mistakes and stuff but pretty cool.

Also, no need for a SS. You got the Hak!

I don't see HJL as a everyday SS until 2013. With the pitching, I think we can make a run IRL and in the game, but, I want more production out of the SS position. Right now, it's a platoon type role between Brignac and Rodriguez.

Also, I need another viable catcher. Jose Molina IRL and in-game, is probably going to catch about 80-90 games...tops. His stamina, in-game, is going to force that position to be a split role.

Anyone using that "64Hours" full minors set on the vault?

I started a RTTS as an Angels pitcher last night and their system looked to be pretty complete and legit, don't know much about pitch repetoires and what not but he had the players races, ages and potentials pretty solidly done. Also made some roster moves and bumped some attributes but I didn't see anything too major.

Just wondering if anyone else had run into problems with it?

It needs some pretty drastic cleaning up. Faces are bad. Some races are wrong (Zeke DeVoss of the Cubs sticks out as a guy I remember)

Potentials for some guys are way off. it's a solid base but needs a lot of cleaning up.

[Bomberooski]

I cannot explain how bad I am at RTTS right now.

Started a RTTS as a SP and get drafted by the Marlins. I get two starts, two wins, 18 K's over 12 IP. I guess I was just in the rotation because someone was injured. Now I'm back in the bullpen.

Hate that shit. They don't look at performance at all.

Just finished my Opening Day game against the Yankees. We won 2-1 with a walk-off sac fly from Luke Scott.

We took an early 1-0 lead with a Sean Rodriguez home run off Sabathia. Everything was cool on the mound for David Price as he finished 7.0 innings with 6 K's and 0 R's.

Top of the 9th, 1 out, Still up 1-0 and Fernando Rodney has a 2-2 count against Teixeira and gives up the booty with a solo shot. I brought in Farnsworth who finished the Yankees in the 9th.

Bottom of the 9th, Zobrist leads off with a single, BJ Upton hits a double into the gap, Longoria is intentionally walked. Bases loaded, no outs, Carlos Pena K's for the 3rd time in the game. Luke Scott comes in, hits a deep fly ball and it allows Zobrist to tag-up for a 2-1 win.

Here is the lineup I used (it changes just about every game for me)

1) 2b - zobrist
2) cf - upton
3) 3b - longoria
4) 1b - pena
5) rf - scott
6) ss - rodriguez
7) dh - keppinger
8) c - molina
9) lf - jennings

I sat Joyce due to his issues against LHP's (Scott and Pena aren't great either, but, they were better options), which led to Keppinger getting the start at DH.

Full Minor league rosters are 85-90% done as of yesterday.

[RyanLeaf16]

Motherfuckin' Clay Buccholz! Guy just threw a CG, 11 K's, 5 hit shutout against me in my franchise.

I got solid contact on a lot of pitches, but it seemed like every hit went right to someone in the field.

Anyway, here is the lineup from the game.

1) 2b - zobrist
2) cf - upton
3) 3b - longo
4) dh - pena
5) 1b - luke scott
6) rf - matt joyce
7) c - jose lobaton
8) ss - reid brignac
9) lf - sam fuld

Just in time for me to get this game.

[RyanLeaf16]

Per the OSFM good doc, the only team not done right now is Baltimore. However, it is hard to check on the rosters right now since OS has the Show roster forums linking over to 2K's roster forum in an elaborate April Fool's joke that has some of the members shitting their pants.

[Swarley]

I've heard that they could be out today or tomorrow.
