30 Team Roster control

Re: 30 Team Roster control

Knight, so the only big downside for this work around is having to control everybodys lineups? While not ideal I suppose I could deal with it. However, if I choose to leave lineups on auto how bad do the CPU lineups appear to be getting within franchise? Thanks in advance.

Re: 30 Team Roster control

So wait, with things set up the way you are talking, the only injuries are ones that I have to create myself?

If that's the case, this game is going back tomorrow!

There are options for injuries where you can leave it automated or manual so you set the injuries and they never happen at random.

Re: 30 Team Roster control

I am so confused at this point I dunno what to do!!!

Ok, this is what I want in my franchise:

-The ability to set all 30 teams lineups and rotations before the season as I see fit. I do not want the CPU messing with them during the year. I want to change them if need be midseason and have them kept that way. Like CPU roster control on. This includes my ability to call up/send down players for any team.

-I do not want injuries to happen unless I set them. I want to mirror real life with all injuries on all teams.

-I want all trades and waiver transactions to be in my control. Once again to mirror real life moves.

Hmm, I think that is it. SO what do I have to do to achieve this result??? I want to start my chise on Monday nite with the newest rosters.

Step away from the ledge.
You can have...NO injuries...RANDOM injuries or MANUAL injuries...you can switch them every day....every other day...on Tuesdays-Thursdays and Sundays....when the moon is full or in the wane.
Do you guys actually try anything yourselves?

30 team control
Your team ...your profile..
29 other teams .....NO profile..
In the GLOBAL OPTIONS
Trades-MANUAL
injuries-MANUAL
waivers-MANUAL
lineups/rotations-MANUAL

Put trades to instant...and I guess force trades on(but controlling trades I don't think that one matters)...

You will still see trade offers from the CPU....just decline them.

You'll be good to go.

Thanks Knight. I was just wondering why I want trades set to instant?

And what does force trades ON do?

I do not want any trades unless they happen in real life, so I want to be like an overlord of trades...

If not on instant...you have to wait that three/four(?) days to get the answer in an e-mail...this one it's instant!

Force trades is for when you want to step in and make a trade...all trades you propose would be accepted. That's why I was saying...with manual trades...it doesn't really matter.

If trades are set to instant they happen right away. You offer they accept. Otherwise they take a couple of simmed/played days to accept the trades. Forced trades means whatever you propose they accept.

Re: 30 Team Roster control

Ok Knight you are doing a great job answering people questions so I have a couple if you don't mind. I've decided to do the 30 team roster control because I didn't like the CPU making trades for me. I only want to control my team though, want to make sure all the lineups are correct but would like the CPU to make adjustments based on fatigue during the season, I want to be able to trade with the CPU, I want the CPU to trade with the CPU as well but I don't want stupid trades happening all over the place.

So considering all this do I set everything to auto except lineups and waivers? If I set trades to auto what does that do exactly? Do they make all the trades themselves but I have to approve them? How does that work? Why do trades need to be on auto but not waivers?

[zippy2212]

Sorry to double answer. Knight you answered while I was typing.
Carry on and thanks for all the great insight.

I would go with...
30 team control...
make 2 profiles...one with everything auto except linueps and trades
the other your profile...
Start with your profile for your team...
No profile for the rest...
Global options...everything auto except trades...set that to manual.
(you can have waivers too...but I didn't see that many...so it's a preference)

Now...you will see all the CPU offers for all teams....and you will get to decide to place them through or not.....the cpu will handle everything else...including the lineups..
Now...when you are coming up against a team..whose lineup you are not happy with.....you can assign that second profile(with the manual lineups) to that team.....set the lineups....play that series...then set it back to NO PROFILE.
You can do that for every team you think has screwy lineups!
Also....you can change the lineups for the teams(without the lineups being set to manual)...but they won't stay there all season(you'd have to go back in every once in a while)...like they WILL with them set to MANUAL.

Thanks to EA and 2k, I have trained myself not to purchase or at least not open a game until I know it actually works. This game is borderline to say the least. $60 to fudge around a broken game doesn't sound that appealing and I'm a die-hard SCEA Show supporter...but this almost reminds me of Sierra football '99...just nowhere near as bad. With SCEA's past, outside of the last few versions, I'm not totally surprised. I just hope that 2k doesn't pick up any steam from this slow SCEA although 2k does have some decent games over the years (NFL 2k5, NCAA 2k8, NBA series).

Rant over! Thanks for the help nonetheless!

Re: 30 Team Roster control

Choose to control lineups.
They will be whatever you want...the CPU will still sub for tired guys.

I have done what you suggested. I have everything set to manual, 2 profiles, etc. Yet before each game, I still can't control the CPU lineup. And they are all F'd.

This is really a bummer. From what I can tell, the lineups get f'd after ST, so you have to go through all 30 teams and do them? Is anyone going to be posting a opening day roster file for season/franchise?

You're doing it wrong.
It works perfectly.
After ST...the CPU will juggle it...that is when you must re-set them...they will stay that way(if you have LINEUPS to MANUAL) for the rest of the season except when the CPU subs for a tired player.
