For the past 3 and 1/2 years I've been working on a roster that is completely filled with over 1600 fictional created players in MLB The Show. I originally made the roster during the summer of 2016 on the PS3, and published the roster around September of that year. The roster consisted of 30 completed 25-man rosters (around 800 players). Once I got a PS4, the only way I could port the rosters between consoles was through franchise mode.

Unfortunately, I was not able to recover the original roster file, but through Franchise Mode I've been able to update, maintain, and progress players in the league, as well as expand into the minor leagues and continue to create more players who enter the league.

Since I've been playing this franchise mode for the past 4 MLB The Show titles (5 games including '16 for PS3), I have played through 4 seasons with these rosters and players. In those 4 seasons a lot has happened, including trades, injuries, rosters moves, and more.

I am posting about this Franchise Mode to promote the new series I will be doing on the league. I will provide the link below for Parts 1 and 2 of the series, where I showcase the current AL and NL rosters for 2019.

PART 1 - AMERICAN LEAGUE ROSTSERS

Hopefully I can gain some support from The Show community, and maybe gain a following for this series so I can remake the rosters for MLB 2020.

Stay tuned as this is not the only created player MLB Project that I've worked on. More roleplaying rosters to come!!

I decided to put this in "Off-Topic" since i'm pretty much just self promoting this project of mine. This series is related to MLB 20 the Show however.

A few months ago I had an idea where I wanted to create a new league within MLB The Show using their new rebrand feature in Franchise mode. I created 30 original teams using 30 new cities not used in present day MLB.

The league is known as the "IBU" : The Independent Baseball Union. I created a fully fictional roster consisting of over 2,200 created players that can be found in the roster vault. All 30 team logos can also be found in the logo vault by searching "IBU"

Using a 30-team controlled franchise, I have been broadcasting live games of this Franchise series on my YouTube Channel.

I thought I would put this out there since there is still no live baseball on TV right now, and people are still looking for some sort of baseball to watch. I highly encourage people to check it out. I will continue to stream live games of all 30 teams, as well as putting together highlight reels, recaps, ASG/HR Derby footage, Postseason, etc.
