Yeah I was waiting for this patch to start my franchise, and Knight's final rosters. Think I may go with stock players though if this work around works. We'll see.

Well in the lineup screen, he is still in the correct spot......so there is nothing to fix, but I have noticed it is the same day someone such as Spilboroughs is out, so Helton takes his spot as leadoff.......some games are correct with the lineup, some are not......but at least the lineups do stick when everyone is not fatigued.

You can't trust the lineup screen (the one before the game). It is wrong. That is why you have to use 2 controllers for the games you play.

No, what's wrong exactly with the framerate. Haven't played there yet.

The framerate is just piss-poor, runs very choppy during the pitcher/batter battles, etc. Other stadiums do it to (at least Dolphin Stadium at night), but Yankee Stadium definitely does it both times of day and most people would know about that one more than Dolphin Stadium anyway.

I found a workaround, but it's not a very enjoyable one. If you sportcast manager the game (with 2 controllers) you can set the lineups before the game. After the sim starts, you can just exit and it will simulate the game with the correct lineups. Unfortunately you'll have to do this for every single game, which would be 15x162=2430. You can also enter the game, and I think I might do this for the games I play, on the first pitch. Alot of work, but I think this might be the fix for me.

This is better.

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 the way you want them. (I put Helton batting 3rd for instance)

Then, when you sim regular season games, the box scores show Helton and guys like that in the correct place in the lineup with CPU roster control ON. With CPU Roster control off, I guess you won't be able to change the computer lineups however after they get shuffled during spring training.

Then, for the games you play, just use the 2 controller method (see below) I stated earlier, and that takes care of your opponents lineups for the game you play. If you set the CPU lineups in roster control and then use the second controller, you won't even have to put the correct lineups in again unlike before.

For historical stats (and to avoid the glitch), 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.

Second controller method

1. Have 2 controller ready by turning them both ON

2. Go to play your game in the schedule in Franchise or Season.

3. Press X to Play your teams games

4. Press X until you get to the controller select screen.

5. Move your controller 1 to your team. Move controller 2 to the team you are playing against.

6. Press X on both controllers (can also select uniforms here).

7. Choose your starting pitcher for each team with each controller.

8. Change the lineups for the team you are playing against with controller 2 and and move it up to accept lineup, but don't press X yet.

9. Make any changes you want for your lineup and then press x to accept lineup.

10. Once the game starts, press the start button on controller 2.

11. Select Controller select.

12. Move the controller 2 icon back to the middle (to have the CPU control that team again). Then press the circle button.

13. You are ready to play. Just resume the game with either controller.

14. The CPU behaves like it does any other time, doing subs, pitching changes, pinch runners, etc. so don't worry about that aspect.

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

anyone tried the DH fatigue problem to see if they still get tired as position players?

Brunnoce, I'm looking into this now. Will post back with results.

Thanks for the low blow, but at least we are still in 1st place, LoL!

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

Let me ask you this. I think i know the answer (its not a good one) but want to ask anyways. WIth CPU roster control on, i can change the lineups after spring training and they will stick. But CPU roster control on means no injuries, right?

Right. I know, it sucks. Last year had a workaround.

Rod_Carew said he loaded his sliders after he started his franchise and it showed an injury slider, but I don't know if he ever got any injuries (I doubt it).

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

I cannot believe we waited all this time for the patch and it doesn't fix the CPU control problem.

This is just ruining baseball all together for me.

Who wants to spend 40 bucks on a second controller so Pedroia doesn't bat cleanup?

For anyone who is at home, can you get into SC? It's telling me I'm already logged in and that login has failed. Hasn't previous versions of the game had glaring post patch issues?

how does a patch affect your enjoyment of baseball? hyperbole much?

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

I just want to know what gameplay stuff was fixed. Rosters change EVERYDAY!! Watch real baseball if you want true to life lineups. The cpu is just trying to put its best lineup on the field at a given time......its a GAME!!!! Move out of your parents basements!!!

You're a real joker aren't you? If you don't like the discussion, get lost.

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

Have you even played this game at all? I mean come on...a broken game? Game killer?

I'm like Autumn - it's an awesome game and I don't see too big of a deal.

maybe not to you, but this is a huge problem for me as well. I'm extremly disapointed.

Sorry, meant the lineup screen in the CPU roster control area.....it does stay fixed, which is good, but when fatigue sets in the rosters go a little crazy.
