Anyone interested in creating a 1903 roster?
-
@TNLeMieux_PSN for which teams?
-
Americans/Red Sox, Tigers, Athletics, White Sox, Senators/Twins, Browns/Orioles, Guardians/Naps, Yankees/Highlanders, Reds, Phillies, Cardinals, Braves/Nationals, Cubs, Giants, Dodgers, Superbas, Pirates
-
@TNLeMieux_PSN I've got a few players from those teams lines up. Some already uploaded. Like Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Johnny Evers, Frank Chance, Three Finger Brown, Napoleon Lajoie, and Walter Johnson. If you want to search for them in the player vault.
@Zachtronics_XBL and I are collaborating on some more. Like he has said, though, we are kind of hesitant to create too many until SDS allows created players to be carried over from year to year in the vault. A lot of work goes into them. And then you have to do it all over again next year.
-
@TNLeMieux_PSN I love that you love the great historical players and want to have them in the game, too.

@ralph13m_PSN I had somewhere around 75 of them done in extreme detail, in 2020, but then they were wiped. I think the following year, or 2022, is when the textures were upgraded. There's a learning curve with modeling faces, stances, etc., but I constantly revise the guys I create.
Like I said before, a lot of the regulars who had been creating for many years have stopped buying the game. Creativity thrives when we can create players, and then utilize our own music. Sounds of the Show being gone, too... it's really killed the experience.

@TNLeMieux_PSN I used to see people do that often, but they were always rushed and didn't come out well at all, aside from maybe a handful of players. It would take most of the better artists the better part of two years to work all of those guys out. A lot of the players have few photos (if any at all) from which they can model the player.
Again, if we could keep them from year-to-year, we'd be encouraged to make them, to help each other create those rosters. I'd like to see a way to put no jersey no. on the backs, given many of those players never wore numbers. Honus Wagner doesn't have one, in-game.
Since we don't have this for PC, SDS was really generous to give us all these great tools to create, but they've been quickly stripping all of that away. The created players used to be the FIRST thing we saw when entering the Vault, not all this deluge of "ZYN" ads, baseballs smoking weed, and nudity everywhere.
I'm not going to let this issue go by the wayside. I'm not sorry that a large percentage of us don't give a [censored] about Diamond Dynasty. We're embracing the history and the art of the sport, and this was the only game where we could do that.

I understand that, honestly, I just want this one, I'm sure I can do it myself from there, just was hoping for an original roster.
-
@TNLeMieux_PSN I'll help as I can. I like having them, too. I'll upload in the player vault if you want to look for them.
Do you still have 24? I have a suggestion. Go into the roster vault there. There's a guy who created a roster in there called Field of Dreams. He hasn't really done anything this year. But, he has a LOT of turn of the 20th Century players. I'll refer back to that and apply the appearances to created players this year.
-
@ralph13m_PSN I'll look into it.
-
@TNLeMieux_PSN just added Jack Chesbro to player vault if you want him for your 1903 roster
-
Out of curiosity how do you use these in a franchise? They only had 16 teams and each team had approximately 15 position players and 5 pitchers. What do you do with the remaining players on the teams you use or even the remaining teams you don’t use?
-
@fubar2k7_PSN I just add them to the roster if the team they went into the HOF as. For instance, Chesbro went into the Hall as a Yankee. Wee Willie Keeler as a Dodger. I don't worry about the roster sizes. I only create "Legends" that aren't included with the "Legends" SDS gave us and are Hall of Famers.
I made one exception so far. Smoky Joe Wood. Just because he should be in the Hall Of Fame, IMO. Similar numbers to Ed Walsh and Addie Joss.

@ralph13m_PSN
What about a 2007 roster?
