Started a new franchise with the patch. You can now see your farm director but you still can't hire/fire anyone.

Yea, Russell would have felt like Captain Bligh on Mutiny on the Bounty.
Wonder why it isn't posted yet? The patch has been out for a while.

Well, depending on what time he gets into work, he might have only just arrived (it's what, 9:30ish there). It's also possible that he's letting us come down a notch or two before jumping in with both feet.

I suppose it's even possible that he might also be waiting to pow-wow with the guys there if some of this stuff was supposed to be fixed and got goofed or something before he jumps in here misinformed.

Can you now fire him in the off-season thgouh. The main issues were the wackiness when you DID hire/fire guys and the fact that you couldn't do jack with your FD.

Well they did nothing to Citi field, I wish they would, im playing a 3 game series in Phily and there stadium is great ads everywhere, working scoreboards and no giant 5pm shadow on the field at 1pm start. Its not the worst thing ever that they paid no attention to Citi field but theres always hope they can fix it.

I didn't simm to the end so I don't know. I really thought this would be fixed.

Try firing up your old franchise and see if you can see your Farm Director then.

Also has anyone checked to see if there was a list of what this patch fixes posted on SportsConnect, if so could you post it here?

I am really surprised we haven't seen a list with more information posted here yet.

OK guys, I have GREAT news for CPU roster control ON guys!

The lineups do get messed up when you sim the spring training.
After you sim spring training, go in and redo all the lineups.

Then, when you sim, the box scores show Helton and guys like that in the correct place with CPU roster control ON. With it off, I guess you won't be able to change the computer lineups however.

Then, for the games you play, just use the 2 controller method I stated earlier, and that takes care of that.

For historical stats, if you use any roster created using the 4/20 or 4/27 (todays) SCEA rosters, you will NOT have a historical stat glitch.

I am good now.

Found a workaround to CPU roster control ON lineups, simmed and non simmed.
Cubs schedule fixed.
Historical stat glitch fixed on 4/20 and 4/27 based lineups.
I am a happy camper now . Sure, it's not perfect, but it has workarounds.

To be honest, I didn't. I was hopeful for the glitchiness of the off-season process being fixed, but not the ability to hire/fire during the season. That seemed like it would take more work than a patch could do (not saying it's so...just what MY thoughts were on it).

In any case, it's encouraging that the director is in sight. I'm sure I'll figure all this stuff out once I can get it downloaded. Plus, by then, Russell may have gotten the official word out.

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

ok guys, thought you might find this interesting. Started a franchise wen t and changed all 4 Yanks batting order to something crazy for test purposes:

tex
damon
cano
jeter
ransom
posada
cabrera
nady
matsui

also changed the rotation to:

aj
pet
wang
cc
joba

Simmed the first 5 games it it held lineups and rotations perfectly

They start messing up when a sub is put in (but that is normal)

So the good news is it appears they have worked on it some -- bad news is it doesnt work when playing game (unless you use two controllers)

So it looks like if you go through and set all teams lineups and rotations they will stick for the most part for simming

Excellent. That problem's solved for me then (I know other's will still be peeved)!

Same deal. The farm director is there but unable to make any changes.

Yeah this works for me too, until a certain point in the season when the cpu takes over again.....It worked until 4/20.....then boom Helton is back batting first. Let me know if you have the same problem.

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

Here is a dose of reality, folks. It is a PATCH. It is extremely unlikely (extremely, extremely, extremely) that it will fix anything but core gameplay issues that make the game impossible to play. (which is very different from issues that make the game less than perfect... like lineup glitches, the historical stats glitch, the online inability to hit-and-run, etc.)

So yell at me now and get it out of your system.... tell me how wrong I am... because the developers are NOT going to deserve the crap they are about to get from some folks.


ps... I am confident that SCEA has put everything on their list for next year that is being discussed here, but that is next year's game.

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

lol...what a roller coaster. I think I'm just gonna hang tight until Russell gets the word out. I'm not one who is waiting for too much anyway. Good luck guys!

It will work all year as long as that lineup is in the game. When someone is subbed for fatigue it changes
