RBI 2014 Project Thread - Beta version 1.1 released!

[cansco4life]

This is my first post here but I hope it helps, I'm an avid RBI baseball fan and same goes with the Cardinals, who may be particularly tricky to place due to several players stepping up big mid season and a few big free agent adds.

Pitching

SP Wainwright
SP Wacha
RP Martinez
RP Rosenthal

this I feel pretty solid about, Wacha coming off a crazy hot last two months / playoffs would be probably who people would want to see in the game, but Miller or Lynn would make sense if that's too risky.

[Turd]

welcome to dee-nee, cansco.  Thanks for the contribution.  I'll match your lineup with the one I put in place and make appropriate changes.

Don't worry about things being in flux, the same goes for my Brewers.  I just need to get a base down.  After things iron out, I'll post the rosters and let people make any suggested changes.

My thought for the pitching staff was to include Wainwright and Miller and then if I made an alt ROM I'd rate the #3 and #4 pitchers.  That said, I try to make the ROM a mix of realistic personnel + who the people would most want to see in the game when playing.

So, as long as Wacha makes sense and has a good shot to be a heavy part of the team and is a fan favorite, I'd consider putting him in over Miller.  I sure as hell won't be playing with those stinky red birds, so it matters a bit less to me

Anyways, thanks for stopping by, feel free to follow along with this post and offer up your thoughts as the project progresses.

[Turd]

Just a progress update, I've been able to automate a lot more this time around than last time, so I'm pretty close to being able to just putting in lineups, doign a little manual work, and having a base ROM ready to go.

I probably won't release it until things solidify any more, but we're so fucking far ahead of schedule, that editing a ROM no longer feels like a chore.

[Turd]

Someone mentioned Yu Darvish...not a bad suggestion either.

So, a little nugget of an update, I think I'm going to offer a second ROM that is basically the same ROM as the first with the only change being including the #3 & 4 guys in the rotation instead of #1 & 2.  This way people can play with 4 of the 5 pitchers for their team if they desire.

My question to you is, should the relievers change in the second ROM as well? Or should we just stick with their two most notable RP's for both ROMs?  Whether or not I do it comes down to timing, but I have a lot of stuff automated so time *might* not be a factor, but I still wanted to get thoughts on whether people would like to see consistency in both ROMs.  The drawback of changing the RPs means that you'd probalby get your closer in one ROM but not the other, or you'd maybe put your best reliever/closer in one ROM and your second best in the second ROM and they wouldn't be together...

[Gantry]

I'm sure this has been asked ages ago, but any chance we can find room in the RBI ROM for another 2 pitching slots?

[Turd]

I'm not sure. I could probably ask, but I'm assuming that'd be more difficult than you think because it'd affect the AI on how the CPU subs in pitchers.  Just adding them isn't a problem, but actually having the game utilize them is a different story.  Plus, I'm not sure how we're doing with available space left on the ROM...last I heard there isn't even enough room to add any more teams, and more data = less space to add hacks and other cool shit (though admittedly we are approaching a saturation point where we have MOST of the hacks we have desired for a long time).  Most

That, and I have two hacks on the discussion table right now that will be awesome if they actually come to fruition.  I'll keep them under wraps until I find out the feasibility of them actually happening.

VERY interested in hearing more about this.

[Turd]

Precisely why I need to make sure it's possible before I promise anything.  The game is awesome the way it is, but I have some ideas that could enhance without breaking the core of the game.

Any updates on the viability of the new hacks you are looking into?

Wish I wouldn't have mentioned it.  It doesn't seem like it'll happen this go around. I'm goign to keep trying though...

[VEGAS]

Tease. :-)

Not to worry, your 2013 Hack is great. But just out of curiosity what ideas did you have? (If you don't mind mentioning).

[Turd]

Working up the rosters today...will post them for review when they are done...

[VEGAS]

how are the rosters coming?

Working up the rosters today...will post them for review when they are done...

[Turd]

I have about 75% done. Coming real soon.

[Turd]

What I have left:
PHI - PIT - SDN - SEA - SFN - SLN - TBA - TEX - TOR - WAS

I lied. I have 66.66666666666 percent completed. 

[Turd]

Alright, prelim rosters completed. Any team experts who don't speak up will result in their team's roster being defaulted to what's in this text file (barring any updates or signings)

I'll likely set a freeze date on this to try and get some of the camp stuff fleshed out and then cut it off so we don't get into roster creep...

I posted the text file in the first post, but here's the link:
https://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=29103.0;attach=28198

Let me know your thoughts and I'll start working on the ratings, which at this point is pretty easy...
