it's a known problem
this will occur with my 3 most recent roster files on xbox1 if they are used to start franchises-- talking about the files i posted together this offseason. the same thing also occurred in my files from previous years, and was remedied. it may occur in the rosters/franchises posted by others too (i dont know)
There IS a fix for xbox1 at least-- i don't know about for ports of the roster to other systems. however, there is no fix for this on an in-progress franchise.
The fix for this issue specifically requires FlyingFinn to do something to the files, after which I make some corrections lost during the fix & repost the files to the community. they can then be used to start
new franchises from scratch without this bug occurring.
this is the main reason you have not seen a franchise posted by me with everything updated (schedule, draft class, coaches, etc); first, i need finn to clean that bug from the files or you'll see the same problem in my franchises; full-season stats populating for some players after year-one but
before any year-two games have been played
Hope that clears it up for you. Unfortunately, there is no fix for this bug in your current/existing/in-progress franchises. However, sit tight & i'll get clean files (both updated rosters & franchises) posted this offseason as always
