    Let me ask you a question...

    Any interest in having some Yankees start the year on the DL (Granderson, Teixera, Pineda) as they will in real life?

    Any chance you'll be frustrated if Trout and Harper end up on your rival's team?

    Would you be annoyed if Longoria, Tulo, Mauer or others retired due to injury after your first season?

    These are a few things that can be easily changed before they happen...and it takes a few minutes.

        I have not had a player retire due to injury. I use 30 team control. If it does happen, how do I change it? Does it show up in messages? In pending transactions? Until Knight mentioned it, I never thought about using three day notification on trades rather than the instant trade that I always used. Does the retirement thing work the same way?

          After the end of the season, I look at injuries and uninjure significant players, so that way they can't retire due to injury.

            I'm sure D'Backs fans are frustrated Justin Upton was traded but there is nothing they can do to "fix" it.

              Re: Franchise withOUT using 30 team control

              ive been playing franchise mode since 09 and im finally deciding to attempt 30 team control..i think i understand knights explanation of it and im testing it out until osfm drops but even if u set all 30 lineups perfectly the will just change as soon as u go to play a game...i could of course set every team to manual and set the lineups each game but theres no way im about to do that..i think im doing everything right so far, i have control of all 30 teams and my team is set to manual while the other 29 are auto. i can go in and change whatever i want with the other 29 but its almost useless as they will screw it up as soon as i start to play games. dont get me wrong i want the other teams to do what they want i just dont want to see stupid things like david ortiz as the everyday 1st baseman or rediculous lineups with ppl batting 3rd while they should be 8th or something along those lines.

                In your case here....create a 3rd profile that has everything but LINEUPS to AUTO.(and lineups MANUAL)...and simply assign it to the team you are about to play and set the lineup before the series. You will still get a change in the case of fatigue...but you should see the lineup you set most of the time.

                  It really is okay if some people don't want to do 30 team control.

                  I can appreciate how much you want realism on all 30 teams and it's perfectly fine but it's okay to accept the fact that there are those out there who simply enjoy playing their team in their franchise and not worrying about anything else.

                      How do you change to a different team from your original choice in profile 1 from the 29 team 2nd profile?

                        Go to USER SETTINGS....then to the SET PROFILE ASSOCIATION section.
                        Using the right stick changes the profiles.
                        Just make sure to hit X when exiting to make it apply(don't back out with O)

                          Knight,

                          What would you charge to set up 30-team control? Hah

                            you just push r2 or l2 in the menu..and knight thanks for the help but i was hoping there would be a way to keep all the lineups and rotations pretty normal throughout the season and not just the games i play but i guess that will have to wait till another year when they really perfect franchise and the AI..regardless i will put your tip to use so that at least my games will look like someone who has heard of baseball is setting the lineup for the opposing team

                              Thanks. I've never done 30 team control before but I'm thinking about doing it when the title update happens and the OSFM rosters drop. I don't really care what the lineups look like but I absolutely hate when ridiculous trades happen. Using one team control, I find ways to erase trades by backing out of my simulation process and re-loading the game and hoping particular transactions don't occur again. Today I wasted a half hour making the last two weeks of July sim through without dumb trades happening. I finally got through it with only a handful of trades initiated and only one of them was bad. The time I waste trying to not make trades happen, I can probably match by just looking at the pending transactions page everyday and actually stopping these trades myself.

                              As far as simulating for every other team before your game, is this a one time, one button simulation or do you have to simulate 29 times before each one of your games?
                              T.K.

                                I don't think i've ever seen a game institute something like this to combat the flawed trade logic, cutting player logic, calling players up logic, and line up logic, and then see it praised so much because it let's YOU correct IT'S problems.

                                get the stuff right the first time and there's no need for 30 team control
