I think that is a great idea. There are a lot of old school baseball fans that would love some of these historic options built into The Show. They should hire a couple of people that are knowledgeable of the history of baseball and it's past to incorporate some of these great ideas into their game. All time rosters, all time teams, all the old stadiums, etc. Seems like there are enough people who want this that some of these things should be added.

Paul O'Neill poses an interesting dilemma.

O'Neill played 8 years for CIN and then 9 years for NYY. O'Neill's WAR was better for NYY than it was for CIN; however, if I put O'Neill on NYY he's the 5th best right fielder in NYY franchise history (based on career JAWS) behind Ruth, Winfield, Keeler and Maris. If I put O'Neill on CIN then he's tied with Reggie Sanders for the best right fielder in CIN franchise history (based on career JAWS).

In previous versions of this roster I put O'Neill on CIN and not NYY because he'll be in CIN MLB starting lineup but for NYY he's likely going to end up in AA.

I think you are doinga great job on these rosters and agree with you on the O'Neil decision to put on the Reds. There are a few players like that where the years on two different teams is within a year. I would always default to putting them on the weaker overall team where they would definitely be on the 25 man roster, rather than burring a guy like O'Neill on a loaded Yankees all time team.

I was able to search a few days ago...looked like the last time you uploaded your all time roster updates was early August, is that right? From the teams you mentioned you were working on they look great so far.

A couple weeks ago sounds about right for the ALL TIME GREATS roster. I upload players to the Player Vault just about every day though as I am creating them for the team I am working on in the ALL TIME GREATS roster.

Oh, I didn't know there is a player vault as well. So people can go in and download the players and add them to your rosters?

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.

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.

@whitejw98_psn said in Field of Dreams:

It is a great stadium, but I kind of wish MLB had designed it to look a little more like the one in the movie. Needs more corn in the outfield lol.

I agree more corn in outfield would be nice! Haha.

@thewooderboy__psn said in Field of Dreams:

Been asking for 2 years now to add Veterans Stadium in lol

Great call Veterans stadium as well. There are quite a few (I only named 3) that I would like to see added. They did such a great job with the Field of Dreams, seems like they should be able to add some of these others we ask for as well.

I love the new Field if Dreams park!!

I wish yoy all would add.more classic stadiums as well (Comiskey Park, Tiger Stadium Ebbets Field, etc.).

All time teams

Thanks. Did you create a historic roster in the vault, of so what is the name, would love to download and take a look?

I would like to see all time teams included.

I think you did a great job with the rosters here. I will definitely be downloading your rosters and using them!!!! I want to thank you for putting the effort in to make these rosters of all time teams, something MLB The Show is missing.

Hey there, a few more names. Although Coombs and Lazzeri are Yankees and probably would not make their 26 man roster, they are HOF players...

Tony Lazzeri
Earle Coombs
Joe Sewell
Rafael Palmiero

You have done an amazing job with these franchise teams! I do not mind helping where I can at all.

It truly is nit picking as you have done a great job with these rosters! I also like that you moved some guys to try to even teams out a bit more.
Some I bet you have already just didn't see them. You will see the list below mostly will be in order of teams.

I am trying to stick to guys I believe should either be starters on their all time teams or definitely would make the cut as a reserve.

Cy Young
Frank Robinson

Hi, I am new to MLB The Show with Xbox. I was hoping that The Show had made all time rosters for each team, but they have not.

You have done a great job overall with these rosters. I have always been a huge baseball fan. You have most of the players on the teams. I could send you some of the players missing that I think belong on each teams 26 man roster for all time teams?

I do not really know how to help being a new user to the game?
