In an effort to make my editing job easier, and because it’s just fun, I’ve started a project that pulls the most recent baseball stats from a source and collects them into a database. I have entered the short, 6 character names by hand, but everything else is automated. I’ve gotten it to the point where I can basically create a ROM that reflects the current stats of all the MLB players in under 5 minutes. While not 100% accurate, it does portray how players are playing at a snapshot in time, and it does provide a good editing base. It will no doubt save me gobs and gobs of time for my all-star break and post-season edits. Cheddar may make hobbies better, but so does technology.

Just a quick check-in to show some activity. I’ve been busy writing an off-line editor similar to Nightwulf’s famous online editor that works with the 30-team ROM. I’ve gotten it into beta state, and included in the latest beta is the ability to have the dirt paths drawn on the field! No more tiny little dirt islands surrounding the bases. This adds a definite amount of modern feel to the game while retaining all of its 8-bit pixelated charm. I will be releasing an update to my 2010 ROM at the all-star break, and this will included the field paths. That’s all for now…thanks for reading!
