Historic Rosters 2021

I am in the process of creating an ALL TIME GREATS roster for MLBTS 21.

Unfortunately MLBTS 21 doesn't allow franchises or rosters to transfer from MLBTS 20 to MLBTS 21 so all players will have to be created from scratch. For a 93 man roster we're talking about over 2700 players. Given this unfortunate situation of having to recreate each player from scratch it's going to take several months to complete this roster.

The first cut of this will be 40-50 of the all time greatest players for each team/franchise. As I create the players for each team/franchise I will upload players to the Player vault. When I get 40-50 players for each team/franchise I'll upload an ALL TIME GREATS roster to the Roster vault.

I'll periodically post updates on this message thread. So far I have finished BAL, MIN, and am working on BOS.

Nice! I'll keep my eye out. And thanks!

Awesome nice to know we are getting historical rosters still for this year

I uploaded a work in progress ALL TIME GREATS roster to the roster vault last night. As I said it is a work in progress and contains the top 50+ all time greatest players for BAL, BOS, and MIN. NYY are next.

I uploaded a work in progress ALL TIME GREATS roster to the vault last night. So far BAL, BOS, NYY, and MIN are included. TB is next.

I uploaded another work in progress ALL TIME GREATS roster to the vault last night. So far BAL, BOS, NYY, TB, and MIN are included. TOR is next.

I don't have a ps5 yet. If I get mlb21, will I be able to get your rosters on ps4. Thnx

I'm not 100% sure but I think as long as you have MLBTS21 you should be able to use any roster in the MLBTS21 roster vault; including those created from PS5.

Yeah I thought that the vault was shared and only stadiums were exclusive to next gen

Pretty sure thats the way it was on 14 and 15. Don't want to rush your thinking but do you think you'll do rosters similar to 2020 (what a great game for your rosters!!). I use 19 and 20 rosters. Did you only do 1960 thru 2010 on the 19 game? Thank you.

Right now it's going to take a few months just to do the ALL TIME GREATS 40-60 player version. Not sure how much more I'll do after that but it's always possible I could do a 1990-2009 roster or a 1970-1989 roster or perhaps a single greatest team per franchise roster might be where I go. There's no way I can do all the rosters this year that I did last year however. Last year I was able to port rosters from the previous year and it saved me a ton of time.

In 2019 I think I did ALL TIME GREATS, 2000-2010, 1980-1999, and 1960-1979.

Thanks. Been on vaca. Whatever you decide I'll probably get 2021 for your rosters but I won't delete 20 even if I get a ps5. 20 with your 19 and 20 rosters will be hard to ever top!

I uploaded a new version of the ALL TIME GREATS roster I'm working on. It includes BAL, BOS, NYY, TB, TOR, CWS, and MIN. Up next is CLE.

Roster name is ALL TIME GREATS under user biebig2010.

You can use mine for help. AP-LEGENDS-LEAGUE is the name. I have about half of them. Probably have to adjust some guys

Thanks but I prefer to create my own players.

That’s awesome. I am definitely going to check that out.

The field of dreams field is coming to mlb the show. Too bad they didn’t create shoeless Joe Jackšon and other greats that went along with that movie and field. But awesome nonetheless

That really stinks that they won't let you port the players. I loved your rosters in MLB The Show18. And you really helped me out by adding the 1900's White sox players. Would have been great with the Field Of Dreams park added this year. Really appreciate you though. All the time and love you put into this stuff. I want you to know it is definitely appreciated!

Totally agree! Was really hoping that he was going to upload the rosters he had in the past. He had the whole roster of the 1900's White Sox! It was awesome! To bad they won't let him port over those rosters. The work he puts into this is great! He even had created Moonlight Graham!

Thanks for putting this together, I will check it out. Seems like something this mode lacks (all time franchise teams) as well as needing more classic stadiums.

In past years I created an ALL TIME GREATS roster containing the top 75-90 players all time for each franchise. That's what I'm working on now but it's going to take a few more months to finish.

In the past I also created ALL TIME TEAMS for different ERAs. For example: 1900-1929, 1930-1949, 1950-1969, 1070-1989, 1990-2009. Last year I also created a roster that contained the best team for each franchise. For example: BAL-1970, BOS-2004, NYY-1927, etc. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to get to the ALL TIME TEAMS rosters due to how long it takes to create all these players from scratch this year.

If SCEA allows roster transfers in MLBTS 2022 then I'll transfer the ALL TIME GREATS from MLBTS 2001 and will begin working on the ALL TIME TEAMS. That's all dependent on what SCEA decided to do though.

Yeah that's too bad they won't so far. You have put a ton of effort into this and I am really appreciative. I may be able to write down the attributes and everything from the 1900's White Sox team I have in MLBTS18 and make them on this. They are the main team I'm wanting since they have added the Field Of Dreams field to the game. Of course you have some on this game already I saw. Which will be a big help. It's just mainly the backups I'm going to need now.

Here's a tip that might help. Go into MLBTS 20 and edit a White Sox player. Using your phone take a video of the TV and scroll through each of the player's physical attributes. When you've gone through every attribute stop the video, switch to MLBTS 21, create a new player, and set the attributes for the new player to the same values from the video. You can easily pause the video if it's goes faster than you can enter the values. Do this for each of the 1919 White Sox players and you have all the players.

NOTE; I already created the CWS team in the ALL TIME GREATS roster for MLBTS 21 and put the players and the roster in the vault. It included various players from the 1919 team including Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, Reb Russell, Joe Benz, Chick Gandil, Ray Schalk, Happy Felsch, Joe Jackson, and Buck Weaver. You can find them all in the player vault or in the roster vault.

Cool! Thank you, that will be a big help!
