Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Yes, that's right..after loading the roster upon start I would check A-Rod, if he's at 553 then you're good to go. If not, you need to go online and apply the SCEA roster, don't save it, then back out, load Knight's again and all will be fine.

ANd it's a one time deal right? Once I have started a franchise with this method, I am good to go?

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

it's a train wreak right now the way it is,
something so simple shouldn't be such a pain..nothing towards the guys here at all, in fact you guys should be on payroll,
it the lack of updates from anyone official with the game that is mildly disappointing at this point.

Once you've started a franchise and save it, then yes, you're good to go.

Is this still needed after the patch that came out today?

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Does this also fix the stat overlay issue?

The one that shows your totals for the current year during your walkup, but has a note below it detailing the previous year's accomplishment?

Example: 10 games into 2009 franchise, Josh Hamilton has 8 RBI, and that is highlighted in yellow and says "Led American League in 2008"...so if you didn't know any better, you would think he led the league with 8 RBI in 08...

Maybe a mod could sticky this so it doesn't get lost...it works...I've re-tested this and refined the instructions so there is one less step...(you needn't save the downloaded SCEA roster for this to work)

1. Load up game and go straight to SportsConnect
2. It will apply SCEA's latest roster file (you needn't save it)
3. Log out of SportsConnect
4. This applied roster is now active - you can check by viewing the Yankees, Pettite is on the roster...A-Rod has 553 Hrs.
5. Load up Knight's edited roster for better franchise/season lineups
6. Goto roster management for the Yankees and check A-Rod's player card - 553 HRs.
7. Start season/franchise using "current" rosters, don't "load" them..
8. Once inside of the franchise check again and he's still on 553, Texieria on 203
9. Checked a few scores and Damon leading off, so using Knight's fixes...historical stats are also correct.

There is nothing stopping you editing Knight's roster after following 1-9..however you will need to re-start the game, follow steps 1-9 again for those changes to take effect without affecting the historical stats - should you re-load a different roster in the meantime.

This was picked up after I noticed A-Rod and Teixeira's stats had swapped between both players (A-Rod at one point had 203 HRs, Teixeira, 553 HRs) after I'd manually loaded several rosters...it was a bit of luck how I came across this workaround but it does work. If you load Knight's or any other roster (even a downloaded SCEA one) without going online first you will see Teixeira will have A-Rod's historical stats and vice versa...it also affects other player's stats too..not every one but it does affect some others...doing 1-9 will stop this happening.

There is definitely something wrong with the SCEA code logic when loading a roster for these stats getting skewed..hopefully the above helps the guys at SCEA to pinpoint this enabling them to fix it in a patch (with better lineups as well please)

Thanks.

Hey Ninjoid, thanks a ton. I truely believe that the problem lies when you load rosters. I did what you said and lo and behold im back in business.

Guys - it's not fixed with the patch, and it won't fix the overlay issue...it's purely a problem when you load a roster without going online first...

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Ronaldo: I am facing the same predicament as you, however, I think (I dont quite understand this bug 100%) that this problem only occurs if you load the official roster and then amend it with Knight's rosters.

So I think if you're offline and just get the SCEA update via usb we should be good! hmm right? Ah I dont give a rat's *** about RTTS, I just play exhibition matches anyway!

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Not sure about this guys, but it's appears as if it's all to do with the roster load program...I've tried loading any roster (offline) and it still glitches...

It's nothing to do with any roster specifically, it's the loading that's the issue which appears to be causing the glitch.

How come? are SCEA morons for continuing to release weekly roster updates although it glitches when loaded? And sure there is a way around that, but surely they must fix this in a patch...does anyone know yet exactly what the patch does? not that I will be able to get it, since I'm not connected to PSN.

Re: Workaround to load rosters without historical stats glitch

Hey gtm, do you want to know why we are always getting screwed with these sports games? Why are they always releasing them when they know their are issues to be dealt with? Because they know, no matter what we are still going to keep buying them. Its like an athlete who is constantly in trouble. They don't care because they know another team will pick them up, and pay them their millions, and the fans will never wisen up and refuse to go to games. That being said, this is IMO the best baseball game i've played, even though it has issues. I am kinda down about finding out that one player in this forum used David Ortiz to pitch on Veteran level, and he threw a one hitter in 6 innings. I don't give a rats *** if he was playing on pre-school level, Ortiz should not be able to throw a one hitter.

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.

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?
