Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

Don't mean to be a buzzkill but is the lineup issue going to be addressed when it comes to simming ST and having messed up lineups?

See the thread about Morneau hitting second for the Twinkies. You'll find the most powerful guy in your lineup hitting second pretty often and I've had to do serious overhauls to some of the teams for their starting nine.

Its not considered an issue. While i don't like it, the CPU is just adjusting the pro squad based off the 40 man roster to start the season. I frankly would just like season 1 to not have a spring training or a skip option so we don't have to deal with it to start a franchise.

I could or I am sure Knight will release a roster set with only the 25 man roster and the additional 40 could be added after spring training.

i think there is a misunderstanding. i believe what the OP was pointing out was that, in a franchise, you can have your line-up set how you want but if you sim a game instead of playing it the CPU will reorder your line-up as it sees fit for that game. when you go into manage line-ups in the menu screen the line-up will be however you set it but the CPU ignores it when you sim a game.

Don't backload contracts that are less than $5M per year or less than 4 years.

what does that mean????

Also are these all fixes or are some fixes and others franchise tips?

If you give someone a 5 year $60 mil contract, they will get paid out as such: $10 mil, $11 mil, $12 mil, $13 mil, and finally $14 mil which equals $60 mil. I am assuming that after the patch, if you give someone a 3 year $12 mil contract, it will be $4 mil each year.

Sounds awesome! Really hope this is out soon - with Knight's rosters out I can see myself pacing around waiting to start my franchise haha. Keep up the great work.

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

I will ask the obligatory "Will we have to restart our franchise?"!

That would be a big letdown if we had to restart.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

I aplogize but I read this thread twice and didn't see an answer to the question as to if we will need to restart our franchise. Russell can you answer please? Please forgive me if I missed it.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

They probably do not know if you have to restart or not until they do more testing.

But judging by the past, I would walk on the side of caution that you will have to restart.

So essentially the update does nothing? The baseball season starts, mid April or later approaches and we're still waiting for the update to start a franchise?
