How Will Carry Over Saves Work?

Re: How Will Carry Over Saves Work?

You won't be missing out on it, you'd just have to edit the player after importing, and select the whatever new thing that is now available. Consider that you'd only be doing this once per year, per import. I'd say it's a minor issue, but that's just me.

No I'm not referring to my player, I know I can edit his gear. What I was referring to is when I carry my save over, all the other players in the league will still be wearing generics. And as we know, you can't edit other players in RTTS.

It's not like it completely ruins the save file, but I play like 80% of the time on RTTS. So they add all this awesome new gear and then I likely won't even get to see most of the players around the league wearing it, that's just kind of a bummer. This isn't a complaint by the way, I know that carry over saves is going to come with some limitations and that's just part of the deal. It's just something that makes me consider "hmmm should I start fresh?"

I'm going to be entering 2019 anyway, a ton of real life players have already retired or declined heavily. I wonder how newly drafted players are assigned gear? Completely at random?

There might be a few years down the road in my RTTS where 80% of minor leaguers are wearing licensed gear (not that I would ever see it) and only a handful of major leaguers are wearing it lol.

I'll need to double check but if my memory serves me correctly the accessories isn't something that's in the save file. It's like the faces and skin tones those things aren't stored in the save file. Like I said I need to double check though so don't quote me on it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. That would be awesome.

Oh I missed that you were talking about RTTS mode. I completely get where you're coming from now.

Hopefully it's as Russell said, where that accessory information won't be in the save file, thus it will automatically adapt to the new year.

Does this mean sliders carry over as well? I hope so because I love what I have going right now.

Some sliders are going to be added/changed, including separated defensive sliders for the infield and outfield. So no, I don't think you'll be able to import them (but you could screenshot or write them down and just plug them back in, for the ones that don't change).

The gameplay gets fine-tuned every year though, so there's no guarantee it'll play the same with the same sliders.

Yea especially this year with the new speed of the players fielding and running bases I doubt you will want the same sliders as last year

The sliders associated with a mode (i.e., Franchise, Season, RTTS, etc.) actually carry over as well; they are saved to the mode save file. What's not there is carry over of slider "file" itself (as in whatever you can download off the slider vault right now.

The newly introduced sliders are all set to default (5 out of 10) when this happens.

(I don't actually like to mention this, but the sliders which worked fine one year might actually not work the same way another year because the gameplay always gets tuned slightly differently each year... but since the effects of sliders are so subtle in this game, why bother?? Just use whatever and be happy...)

Thanks Nomo! And yeah, through all the CPU testing I've seen you do and done myself over the years, I totally agree with the bold.

Can't freaking wait to see how everything works with this...it's huge for me and my franchise.

Re: How Will Carry Over Saves Work?

So just to be sure - your carried over RTTS player can be edited to include the new equipment however the surrounding players will NOT be able to have the new stuff. Is that right?

What if I'm in the middle of a season in rtts? What would happen?

Pick up right where you left off.

Re: How Will Carry Over Saves Work?

Did we ever find out if we use the default SCEA roster for franchise (or RTTS), do we get player updates as far as skin tones and equipment? I thought I remembered seeing somewhere or hearing on the twitch stream that Russell said that might be a possibility?

I think Ramone wrote a while ago in another thread that the MLB players will be updated with these pieces of info when you transfer your mode save file.

I remember him saying he wasn't sure and have to check if new equipment would show up. Never saw any response back.

He said equipment doesn't transfer over. You have to edit equipment manually if you're using Y2Y saves. (Unless they find a way to get it to work before release)
