Also, do these fixes effect our current franchises, or do we have to start all over?

Huh, my problem was that F. Rodriguez numbers were wrong. It said he had more innings pitched than what the really had. Not sure if that is fixed now then. Eh, it's not that big of a deal, really.

Thanks Russell.

Russell, I have tested both of these highlighted ones extensively this morning, and they don't work.
The lineups appear to "stick", but not once you go to the game itself.
Lineups get jumbled after spring training games as well. If you don't change the lineups back, the simmed box score lineups are wrong as well.

Pitching rotations DO stick.

Lineups and rotations stick for exhibition games.

Historical stat glitch fix only works for SCEA 4/20 & 4/27 rosters and anything created using those. Everything created prior to that has the historical career stat glitch. I have test this in every conceivable way. (I checked the 4/20 roster and it was still good).
Knights, Ridins rosters have career stat glitches still.

Please let us know what you know, but this is what I found this morning.

My god....only 2 or 3 people slammed Russell and all of a sudden... the internet white knights are out in force.

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

hahahaha, so I'm not allowed to complain that none of the big issues were fixed? That makes me a child and means I have to grow up? I'm sorry that you feel that way.
If his game didn't cost me $60 I wouldn' be complaining about half the big features not working. But the thing is it did cost me $60 and many of the features are broken.
What is the point of knight working on his rosters for months just to realize they will be plagued by SCEA's bugs creating even more work for him? What is the point of including a ROSTER VAULT if it screws your rosters up? What's the point of having control of the all the team's rosters when they go ahead and make their line ups based on attributes and nothing else?
It's very childish of you to call everyone complaining out, while you're trying to snuggle up with SCEA. We have every right to complain and at least expect changes.
Those however that call he devs liars and all that other stuff, well, that is just immaturity. Unnaceptable behavior, I won't disagree with that...

Yes, $60 buys you the right to be an a$$ on the internet, but I think you may have overpaid. My $60 paid for a video game I'm stoked about playing, and that may have just got a little better!

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

I'm wondering, in the case of Knight's edits for example, if because he saved the roster with the glitch active, that's the reason it's screwed, rather than the date of the file itself. Also, real curious to hear Russell's thoughts on the Roster Control.

Overall though, if we can get that stuff ironed out, I think some people should be eating a bit of crow with their "SCEA didn't fix anything" comments. That's a pretty solid patch list, IMO.

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

Couldn't agree more! This is the first time I've felt a little embarassed by a community member.

To Russell and the rest of the SCEA crew, please accept our sincere apology. I assure you johnreyes and CS10029 are the minority.

Keep up the good work Russell!

So we should just sugar coat this issue? C-MON why do we jump all over other developers when they screw up, but not SCEA????? This is horrible. How do u claim the most realistic baseball game but do this? I understand that the gameplay is good, but the franchise is broken. So really in order to play this game you have to spend $115? the game $60 and an extra remote $55. Then with cpu control on theres no injuries. WOW that's very disappointing...

Yeah, but come on man... attacking a guy the way some have on this board is embarrassing for all of us.

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

Thanks for the list Russell!

I haev a few questions for anyone who is at home and can access the game (im currently at work).

1) If we use Knight's roster as a fresh download from the vault, are the historical stats corrected? Seems like they would be
2) It looks like with roster control on, we can fix lineups and have them "stick"? Is that right? This would leave me to believe that with it "off" lineups will default to the CPU's logic (meaning we have no control)

1 is NO! I just logged on with another PS3 user ID. Downloaded knight's roster, arod had 203 hrs. Tried others rosters as well...

I'd be curious to see any info on roster control, lineups, and the historical stats. Specifically, what was fixed, under what conditions can they be fixed, and if there are any situations (like you outline) that the stats/lineups/roster control issues are not fixed.

Seems like those issues are all fixed but not playing that way (currently).

The only issue i have is with not being able to set lineups with roster control OFF. I think we should be able to set lineups in the main screen, then enter a new franchise and have rosters start the way we last set them. Ah well.........

Seriously.

In a time when I spend around $30 a week on groceries, if lucky, I decided to spend my coin with SCEA, and at this point, I'm scratching my head as to why. Its not some broad commentary on what I think of SCEA, I just want what I paid to work in this case.

Dont be the guy who scolds people for being rightfully angry. I bust my *** 10-12 hours a day, and I dont spend my money willy nilly, because I cannot. In a time when the consumer is almost constantly bent over, especially in the gaming world, it would have been nice for such a great game to not be plagued by such stupid mistakes.

As for hurting Russell's feelings to the point SCEA stops posting or listening to feedback, that's a bit much. Most game developers post on their forums, and take feedback, and criticism, if its deserved. And its deserved in this case.

SCEA isnt my friend. We enter into a consumer relationship. They want money for their product, and I want a product that is worthy of my money. At this point, it isnt, despite the patch list, because the lineup glitch is still very much there.

I wonder if Knight opened his rosters on his PS3, with the patch downloaded, and then put them as a new file on the Vault after he saved them post patch, if it would fix the problem? Probably not, but just a though if the patch is supposed to fix that problem.

Thanks Dave. Seems that either A) something in the patch list is incorrect B) something in the patch list isnt working right or C) it is being misunderstood
