Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Someone posted a fix a while back for the stat overlay issue, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. If I'm not mistaken, I would have to start up a new Franchise without going into any exhibition games, batting practice, etc. on startup of the system.

Does that sound about right to anyone else?

I believe I read that as well Sdawg...that's what I have done and I haven't seen anything like you mention or out of the ordinary.

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

You are right. No matter what roster you load, the career stats get screwed up. I applied the lasted SCEA roster update and edited all the music. I then saved it and turned off my PS3 to help my son with his homework. Once I went back to the game I loaded the rosters and before I wanted to start my franchise I checked Teixiera and Rodriguez' stats and they were swaped again. I then went on to delete the saved roster and downloaded SCEA's roster again and made my edits. I saved it and started my franchise w/o loading my saved roster and just used my "current" roster and lo and behold I was good to go.

Ninjoid is definitely onto something here regarding the way the roster loads. Great find. Hopefully SCEA can verify this and fix the issue.

Ckarlic - what you could have done rather than deleting your roster, is just go online, apply the SCEA roster (it does it automatically, but you needn't save it) and then load your roster - it works each time...the roster isn't the problem, it's the load...I've made numerous edits to Knight's roster over the past few days, I just need to make sure I go online prior to loading it up...your original roster would have been ok to load, just go online prior to loading it.

Hope that helps, it's quirky I know and I hope SCEA fixes it..I have PM'd Russell with the details.

Ok so if I follow the rules and go online first to get those rosters..then load up the ones I want to use...edit them and save...then start a franchise...all is good? Or do I have to do something before I load up franchise each time?

Yep. I have had no problems using this method. Once you save your franchise, the roster is intact. Then you can edit way in there and re save as much as you like.

However if you want to create players, do it and set up your roster outside of franchise...then go online, back out, then load your roster, start your franchise and save.

Works great.

By the way for any Astros fans, there is an added bonus. Not sure if it comes via the live update or what, but upon starting your franchise, Dave Clark will be your 3b coach instead of the fake guy.

Yep, just start your franchise with "current" rosters, don't load them...once you save your franchise that's it, you just need to load that when you load the game.

Definitely a great find, I wouldnt have even started my franchise if it wasnt for this as I wanted the career stats correct for milestone purposes. Thanks again for finding it however you found it.

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

No problems guys..I just sort of stumbled across it after I thought I was going mad seeing A-Rod have 553hr's one minute and the 203 the next...I knew I'd seen it as 553 after I'd loaded Knight's, it was just the time needed to think what I did to do that...that, er, took, most of Sunday afternoon!!

But at least it does work I'm happy to say!

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Yep, still have Kings & Queens Knight....if I were to be made a King, then you'd be a Knight of the Realm!!..sort of fits that for some reason lol....

It's certainly been a help for the stat freaks amongst us Knight...nothing worse than not having those stats right...at least this way we can start a franchise - at least we can if we want, but I'm waiting for your next roster release this weekend!

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

I was wondering that if after doing all the steps and saving the roster you want that if after I turn my system off then flip it back on wanting to play an exhibition game would i have to go online then load the roster i wanted to use? Or can I just load the roster and be good to go? In other words, do I have to go online everytime I start the game then load stuff or is it just the one time? Thanks by the way!

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Once you power off your PS3 you'd need to go online if you want to use a saved roster for exhibition...if you're loading a saved franchise/season you needn't go online as your roster is stored within the franchise/season save file.
