I just got to my first draft class tonight. Did the draft but haven't signed anyone yet. It will probably be close to last year's edits I did. But I will share them this weekend once I analyze the first class.

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Up to you, but I think they are a must have. The finances don't change or evolve like NBA 2k. They hold the same financial values in the future in the game.

Can you explain how this is done? I just summed 30 years but overalls are ridiculous. Backup playing have 85 ovr and teams are just loaded with pitching. How is this done?

I’m not as sold on the need for potential updates …

But I also don’t really mind if there aren’t plenty of guys in low 60s in the league.

I’m in 2039 in my league and there’s enough differential between top and bottom rated players for my tastes.

Anyone with experience with fictional rosters have any tips to tackle this easier. I went down the rabbit hole of doing this and I've done 8 teams completely. Not perfect but I was more focused on just getting any real player out. Few problems I am having

1. Can only export 40 players at a time so it's taking a lot of time.

2. It gets to the point where I'm not sure if the lower rated guys are the ones I've exported and imported into the roster or actual minor league guys

3. There is probably a ton of Free Agents that I will need to tackle at some point to get them out of there.

No experience doing this but I would probably export fewer than 40 at a time. Maybe break it down into Starting Pitchers, then go back in and export RP's, then a third time to get infielders, then lastly catchers and outfielders.

Edit: it would probably be easier if you imported a blank zero player over the minor leaguers with no service time first before trying to get minor leaguers out of a franchise.

It’s easier for me at least to export starting pitchers than relief pitchers for each team and then go back and do position players. I’ve already done an entire league but I’m not happy with the ovr of players. All pitchers and players and even bench players are way too high. Not sure how to fix this though. I don’t want to edit ever player that would take forever

Have you finished or started your roster yet? I would love to use yours when you do. Do you plan on uploading it?
