RBI 2015 Lineup Thread

[pkmenning]

Blue Jays:

Swap out Dirks for Devon Travis, and swap Viciedo out for Kevin Pillar (both Dirks and Viciedo are gone).

Swap out Delabar out for Aaron Loup (Delabar got sent down to AAA, but will certainly get called up or traded sooner rather than later, so that's a judgment call)

[Turd]

Thanks, hope to finish these tonight...

Not sure how much it matters, but the Twins sent down Josmil Pinto and are starting the year with Chris Herrmann as the backup catcher.  It's mostly because Pinto missed a week with a concussion, so I'm not sure it's worth swapping Herrmann into Pinto's place on the roster, both because I think Pinto will be up within the month and because Herrmann absolutely cannot hit.

Looks like Ervin Santana is out for 80 games because of some controlled substance

[Gantry]

Well if he's not using it, can I have it?

Yeah... he's claiming that he has no idea how it got into his system, so I guess it must have been ghosts or something.

Mike Pelfrey will be taking Santana's spot in the rotation.  For RBI purposes, I think the Twins consider Ricky Nolasco their #3 starter, but Kyle Gibson is probably better.  Neither are particularly terrific (although Nolasco was a complete disaster last year), so not a big deal which one you pick.

Minor changes to the Tigers lineup from what I posted before.  Not a big deal at all, so if things are pretty much set then don't even bother.  JD Martinez and Cespedes flop spots at 5th and 6th, and Castellanos and Avila flop spots 7th and 8th.  Everything else is good to go.  So now it would be this:


2015DET

Turd,

Have you decided on the cover art? (I may have missed that thread).

I'm excited for this year's rom... as always. I'll block out a few days to test out the ROM whenever it becomes available-- my wife and kids can just miss me for a few days as I'm called to a higher purpose.

[Turd]

Guys, I haven't had time to go through and follow all the updates to this thread, but I'm posting what I have for one last once-over now that I have all the players entered.  Let me know thoughts and I'll toss this on a ROM for a beta release...

[Turd]

And I had cover art made, but unfortunately we're not allowed to put it on a cart if it has an MLB player on it, so it'll be a different cover design.  Sad, I know, but it's the rules!

BOOO! But I understand. Did you get a Cease and Desist letter from MLB, or is this just being careful?
For alt cover art have you considered the red/blue logo you use for your rbi site (http://www.rbibaseball.us/images/mlbrbilogo_small.png)? Or maybe a few of the RBI guys from the game?
Or maybe the original art from the ARCADE game but with an updated title/year?
Or if current MLB guys are unavailable are minor leaguers (they aren't covered by MLB players union)?
Or retired players?
Just some thoughts.

[Turd]

The Beta version is live!! As always, you can download the regular and juiced versions from http://www.rbibaseball.us/

This has only been spot tested and it's really late right now, so please provide any feedback on wonky in-game stuff, players on incorrect teams, etc. We'll go through the same process where we spend about a week on updates before I release the final version.

Enjoy!

[VEGAS]

Just looking at the ratings. I'd suggest a few changes:
Team data for BOSTON:

Betts Speed up to 129
Pedroia Speed up to 125
Rmirez Speed DOWN to 125
Vctrno Speed up to 128
Napoli Power up to 870

And on NYA I'd drop
Elsbry Speed from 145 to 139

[VEGAS]

rbibaseball.us site seems to only have the juiced version (though its not labeled as such). Do you mind posting both versions in this (or a new) thread?

[Turd]

Lies!!

I checked earlier and the zip contains both juiced and regular.  Check again and let me know...

P.S. If you just try to play the zip file which nestopia supports, it might just be playing whatever .NES file it finds first in the zip.  You'll have to extract it to get at the contents.

[VEGAS]

You called it. I opened the zip file w j-NES and it simply opened the juiced version.

[Turd]

Carts for sale!

[pkmenning]

Are the lineups locked in now?

If not, could you swap Span in as Washington's leadoff guy and bench Taylor? Pleeeeze?

[Turd]

Lineups are locked as I sent the final rom to the cart assembler for, well, assembly. I'd potentially make a custom ROM for you but it won't be reflected on the cart if you ordered one.

[VEGAS]

If the lineups are locked in, does that mean that the version posted on your site is the final version? or does that "Beta" version have a few more edits before its final?  Also, nice work on the cover art-- I get why you had to stop using players-- so I think the graphics you used were in the tradition of RBI. For those that haven't seen the cover art, maybe you could post it in this thread? Anyway, good work all around!
