... spending the countless hours only to start all over. All I can do is hope, hope, hope it doesn't crash.

This is why I no longer start seasons in April.... I just wait until the dust clears before I start a season.

Humans are imperfect, so I don't expect a game without some hiccups at release.

Looking for some help on this one.

Currently I am in the midst of my 2011 season(July 11, 2011), I am not able to move forward because the as soon as I try to click into the schedule the system immediately restarts. It is frustrating. Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a fix for this issue?

Or, the other poster could just delete the patch and continue with his franchise without a problem.

It works well.

How does that work? People have only said they can only delete the whole game, not just the patch itself.....

How can you delete the patch? Where is the file?

How can you delete the patch? Where is the file?

You have to delete the game data utility in the main Playstation menu. (but not any saved game files).

Then when you start it up again, it will redo the initial installation. You won't have patch 1.01 anymore either, but as far as anyone can tell it didn't do anything important anyway.

The disadvantages to this are that you won't be able to play online and you won't be able to download SCEA roster updates. Also, you will lose any custom music information (like marks) that you may have.

The advantage is that you can continue your franchise. I guess it depends on how far in you are and if you have the patience to replay whatever you've done so far.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure I never said anything about weekly attribute updates those are only done once a month. You will still get the weekly roster updates as always.

What is the actual date people with pre-patch franchises are having problems? The date of the schedule change?

I may try to sim past that date to see if mine crashes. I know some people aren't crashing at that specific date. I hope mine makes it past!!!!

Yeah you should be free from those completely if you start over. But some should be able to continue their old franchises if they can get past the schedule change. That's why you discrepancies in why its not effecting everyone.

Can someone explain the "schedule change" part of the above quote? I don't really know what that means, what I should look out for, and how to tell if it effects my team.

Thanks!!

The original schedule that came with the game had a 3 game series in April for the Dodgers and the Padres and when the patch came out, they made it a 4 game series (which is the same as real life).

If you were already past this game in your franchise or RTTS, it screwed up the schedule causing crashing when you look at the schedule screen.

As far as I can tell, sometimes it will freeze at your schedule, sometimes if you're looking at another teams schedule, sometimes in april, sometimes in may (you get the point). Everyone has had different experiences with this it seems.

Anyway, if you have a franchise that is past the date when they added the game, there is a chance that you will encounter the freeze and I would suggest you either delete the patch, or restart your franchise.

I have my franchise crash in June after playing about 30 games since the patch. All I did was delete the patch, sim past the day (June 5) that it was crashing and now I have played another 25 games with no crashing. All it took was some patience and critical thinking, I do not see any need to restart a franchise. Yes it sucks to sim a couple games, but better than the drastic solution some feel the need to offer.
