So i would assume you have CPU roster control On. So if you change it after spring training, it will work?

I guess the downside is, no injuries.

I like to start the season with the correct rosters/lineups, but then allow things to play out (injuries, lineup changes etc). So changing them after sprign training isnt an option for me, since i have to turn CPU control to on which negates injuries.

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

Ok I got Helton to stick batting 3rd!!! Here's what I did, sim spring training, because after spring training the lineups get jumbled. Once you start the season change all 4 lineups that are screwed up, and I've simmed 2 weeks worth of games and Helton has batted 3rd everytime and Spilboroughs 1st. I'll let you know if this works for the whole season soon. If you only change one lineup it doesn't stick for some reason, but when I changed all 4 it did.

But hasn't been said in numerous posts that this will work fine for simulated games but once you enter an actual game the problem will resurface?? Or did you actually go into games as if you were going to play them?? Please advise.

Well, as good as the Rosters are, it's not SCEA's M.O. to fix the rosters around a user's custom set.

At least they fixed it with their official rosters.

Yea, pbz, but we don't know if it will turn into a pumpkin when the next SCEA rosters come out unless you save your Franchise. I don't think it will, but until we get confirmation, we don't know.

Last weeks SCEA roster appears to be fine (4-20) and not have the stat glitch. Ridinsfinal roster that was based on the one before that one is not. So it seems like we will have to go from 4-20 on for user rosters if we don't want the historical glitch. I would work from this weeks, and I don't think it will turn into a pumpkin, but I can't be sure.

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

I'm not sure, but maybe the guy has to bat in the same spot for all 4 lineups for it to stick, which sucks if you want to have someone bat different for lineups against righties, lefties......though it'd be better than Helton batting first.....still testing I'll let you know what I find, though I am using CPU roster control on, and also they don't stick when you play games as was said.

Well, I think the thing was too that even though they appeared stuck, if you checked the box scores they were switched (even in the simmed games).

So, if it is indeed sticking for real in simmed games, that's at least an improvement in terms of simmed stats. You can use two controllers to cover the rest if that's the case.

Well from what ive noticed, first they fixed a problem within the bullpen, franchise mode atleast. They showed a wrong # for innings pitched, thats been addressed. Also im not a 100 percent but so far when turning dps my ss or 2nd doesnt freeze anymore on the throw to first. Thats all ive noticed so far.

That may work for simmed games (I have not checked, but I believe you), but I have done the same thing (sim spring training), and it does not work for games you actually play.

You're right, lineups get screwed up after spring training and have to be redone, even with CPU roster control ON.

But, at least we know a way to get simmed lineups to stick if that is true.

So if we do this and use the second controller method for teams we play against, we are set (if what he posted works).

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

I just don't understand why the Ellsbury batting 9th stuck for the whole season, but Helton batting 3rd will now.

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

Are you sure about that? If that was the case Ridin's last rosters should be OK since they are based off the 13th set. Or did they fix them as of the 20th set?

No. Ridins are not ok. The 4/20 set is OK, so probably from that point on is OK (which is no one's rosters, lol).

I did some edits on the 4/20 rosters for the Cubs, and the historical stats are fine for that roster. I checked every big player.

So here is what I have found:

Historical stats are fine starting with the 4/20 roster and any rosters based off of that one (none right?) and todays of course.
All of Knights and all of Ridins have the historical stat glitch.
FYI, I started all new franchises, loaded new ones from the vault and also tried my old ones on the HDD.

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

What is the "2nd controller method"? I must have missed that.

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

Were the Texas Rangers' batting helmets fixed?

Citi Field?

Just curious

How should the Rangers helmets look now, and I will check. (I don't watch the Rangers very often).

I'll check Citi Field.

Cubs schedules are all good now as mentioned before.
