It's not usually my way, but I figured I'd pop in and inject a little sunshine. I'm happy that Cubs games are fixed--this is an institution in baseball, and it has to be right. Day games at Wrigley are special.

I don't play RTTS, so I'm not sweating that.

With the lineups, I can live with it. The fact is (to me), this game is so damn good on the field that I can live with some management issues like lieneups and DL stuff. It's not ideal, but we have arguably the best sports sim in history, so I count this small stuff. Not saying others have to be similarly nonchalant, but when I put the positives next to the negatives, it's a landslide in the positive direction.

Watching Baseball Tonight, it's not as if lineup stuff really stays locked anyway. Soriano is being moved around, and teams do things that mess with our notion of "realism" on a regular basis in baseball.

Just my .02.

i have to agree. RTTS has a work around so that isnt a big deal.

The lineup issue isnt a glitch. I dont know why people keep saying that. Its the coded logic they created for franchise mode which allows the cpu to move its players and insert players as they wish. This issue is all about the player ratings. Its a NON issue in knights roster with his adjusted ratings. The lineups hold perfectly because the logic is using lineups based on the players ratings. this is exactly why the rosters hold in exibition. Because their is no logic for exibition games. Just franchise and season where the cpu must be able to make adjustments.
for me, i use knights roster anyways, so its not an issue for me.

the disable list needs to be fixed

the stat glitch needs to be fixed. But in reality it already is fixed. But i was hoping they would fix versions created b4 the 3/22 patch.

online needs a few things fixed.

im also glad they fixed the cubs schedule

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

I did attempt to play AZ/Colo and Helton stayed at the 3 spot after skipping the first 2 games. I am aware that my team's lineup will stay the same.

I also tried this with my existing franchise using Knights rosters and it worked.

I'm not quite sure what you are doing wrong. Hopefully you will figure it out.

a ray of hope?

Hey, I'm actually glad to hear that I may be wrong (no pride here my friend). I did not skip the first game, I played it.

Did you actually go INTO the game, because it WILL show the correct lineup until you get into the game?

Thanks.

Also, Season or Franchise?

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

Yea, the DL glitch is perhaps one of the most important one, especially if you are a franchise guy. I think it sucks that if I put a guy on the 60 day DL, he will still count against the 40 man and I won't be able to sign someone else (unless I release someone). I had to start a new season after I had 4 guys on the DL from my MLB team, 3 from AAA, and 5 from AA. I love this game, but I don't want to turn injuries off.

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

So is it safe to say that if I haven't already DL the patch, I shouldn't?I'm playing with Knights lineup fix roster and for the most part the lineups stick pretty good. It seems like some of you are saying that this patch even overides Knight's fixes. Is this the case??

You are not wrong-I am! I did go to play the actual game and the lineup for AZ was changed.

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

I have tried a bunch of different ways to get the CPU Roster Control On to stick -- no luck yet.

They did fix team schedules -- Cubs, Rangers (now not all home games vs. AL WEST are day games)

To me, I REALLY wanted CPU Control to work. I am extremely disappointed!!

Well, I'll be checking back in in about 2 1/2 hours, once I get up to Escondido, CA. Maybe there will be something different on this.

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

i call it a glitch because roster control ON means we control the line ups and if dont work then it is broken.....if you play madden or nba live or ncaa football and the line ups were broken for ur season and you had starters on the bench or receivers playing out of position...would you be happy....i am playing vs the yanks and they have jeter batting 6 and at times they have damon batting 3rd...i mean come on...

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

I have a roster saved to a flashdrive that I can send you that will fix the lineup issue if interested.

can i get it as well

Re: New Patch will be released on Monday 4/27/09

i changed the colorado lineup and put helton 3rd, simmed a month then played a game against the rockies with my giants and helton shows as hitting 3rd until the game starts but then he is back at leadoff. If anyone says this roster control on glitch is fixed they're dreaming, unfortunately.

Yea, I did sim 1 game, and it did not stick anyway.

It has always shown the correct lineups in the front screen, it's once you play the game that it is wrong. I almost wonder if the SCEA testers never went INTO the game too when/if they thought they fixed this.

Countryboy, it is still messed up with CPU roster control off.

I will try to 2nd controller and just move it over and then move it back before the game starts to see if it sticks. At least that would be better than having to move it over in the game.

One good thing is that if you use the second controller method, at least now you don't have to put all the correct lineups for the opposition now like before.

To the other poster, yes the historical stat glitch is fixed for the newest rosters (tested last weeks and this weeks). Knights rosters have A-rod's HRs wrong.

Completely agree. I can't wait to start my season tonight!
