The 30-Team Control Guide

Re: The 30-Team Control Guide

When you first create the franchise, the Orioles will be the defaut team. You'll have to press L2/R2 to scroll to your team, then once you save the franchise (while in control of your team), it become the default team.

But I never, ever change the default user settings to my profile correct? Because I was under the impression that you need to keep the CPU profile as the default user settings so the other 29 teams control their own organizations accordingly. Note that I am not worried about lineups, injuries, or correct 25 man rosters and so on. I'm only using 30 team control to oversee trades. I just want to be able to have my team as the default screen showing when I back out of screens like league leaders and such. It doesn't seem possible with 30 team control and CPU as the default user settings. I figured you'd say Baltimore was the default screen shown. I don't see how just saving while on your team's screen makes it the automatic default because when you back out of a screen like league leaders, how would it know to go back to your team's screen without your personal profile being set as default?

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're saying, but I'll go with what I got.

As long as the "Settings File Association" are correctly aligned, you can have the "default profile" you want. As far as I know, the only reason why "CPU 1" is activated as the default profile at first, is so you won't have to manually change all the 29 teams at selection screen when creating your franchise from "Human" (if you had this one by default) to "CPU 1". Once that's done, you can go back to "Human" as your default profile, no problem (at least, not that I'm aware of). If you do it in franchise, you'll get a message saying that most of the teams are under a different name, that you may want to make some changes...but if you look at the "Setting File Association", they should all still be "CPU 1" except your team.

Now as far as backing out of different screens...I don't really get what you're saying. I can go to pretty much any screen (League Leaders, Team Rankings, MLB Records, etc.) and I'll still see the logo of the team I'm controlling in the upper right...it doesn't change, it's not like you're going out of franchise control, then coming back...you should still be the same team you were once you enter those screens (teams that you can change using L2/R2).

What I meant by saving is that once the league is created, the game would load the franchise as the Orioles first. Once I click L2/R2 to get to my team (Colorado Rockies) and save, the game will load with that team instead of the Orioles.

Ok so at this point then you've changed your default user settings back to "human" because the franchise is now created and even with this as your default profile, the rest of the league is running normally (on auto) without needing you to make decisions?

If you've set your "CPU Auto" profile with "Line-ups / Rotations" on Manual (like some do, because they want the line-ups to be as intact as possible, even for CPU vs CPU games throughout the season) then you'll have to manually change all 30-teams line-up manually everytime there's an injury. But if you don't care about CPU vs CPU games, and set everything to auto in your "CPU Auto" profile, then yep...you can manage your team, without getting any pop-ups about all the other 29 teams.

I have everything on AUTO...and when I play, say the Braves, I would just switch their profile to "CPU Manual" so that I can change their line-up and rotations to my liking for my series against them, without the CPU changing it back, and go from there. Once the series against that team is over, switch that team back to "CPU Auto" and assign "CPU Manual" to my next opponent, and repeat.

But be advice that everything on auto means the CPU teams line-ups and rotation may have been altered by the CPU by the time you play your game against them. So you'll have to build their line-up from the top of your head, or use external reference if you want 100% accurate line-ups and rotations.

Why doesn't pressing R1 on the DL screen do anything for me...is there a setting I don't have on right?

sounds like you put cpu roster control to "on" which would turn off injuries altogether

You kind of wasted your time typing this last post because I'm fully aware of how this works and why people use 3 profiles and all that junk. The only reason I've been asking these questions is because in another thread someone advised me that the profile you want the other 29 teams to follow is the profile you need to have set as default. But what it sounds like you're saying is that after you create your franchise with the CPU profile as default, you then can go ahead and change the default profile to "human" so that this will enable your team's screen as the default screen and the other 29 teams will still proceed in the franchise with everything on auto and absolutely no need for your interference in decision making. This is correct?

I'm having the same problem. CPU roster control is definitely off.....don't know what is going on??

Will I have any problems if I take OSFM v2 with the rosters already down to 25 players?

and you have injuries set to manual?

Yeah injury management is set to manual. I followed the instructions in the original post. I can't get it to work.....

Try this....go put all the custom profiles you have to manual for injuries.
I just had an instance where I tried a single team franchise with manual injuries...put my profile as default and couldn't get to any other team but mine.
I went to a profile that I always use for other teams...and changed it to manual(even though it really isn't assigned to any of them....I was using single team) and saved it anyway...and I could get to the DL screens.

Point is, yes, you can change the default profile back to manual. But I'm not sure it has anything to do with which team's screen you're gonna get as default, as for me, it's always showing the last one I was on, regardless of the profile assigned to that team. If I save/quit the franchise while in control of my team, then it'll be my team as default. But if, for some reason, I save/quit while on the Braves page, then Braves it is. The profile assigned in the CPU File Association has nothing to do with that, it's just saying this team should be managed by those rules, that's it.

You mean Hustlin's 25-man roster file ? If so, your line-up should all be correct, as it's based on Knight's file. But I don't think the injured players (in Class-A) will automatically be brought back up to MLB once they'll come off DL, as they aren't on the 40-man list, nor on the MLB DL list.

I'm not 100% sure of that (maybe Knight can confirm) because I didn't download Hustlin's roster, but to my understanding, they would have to be injured WHILE being in the MLB during the Spring Training to comeback in the active roster. Otherwise, they'll just be placed in Class-A, and stay there once off DL.

Re: The 30-Team Control Guide

Anyone else make 30 profiles. It's little more work but I feel it helps control trading during the season,

Basically I made 30 profiles named after each team(BOS, BAL, NYY, etc) assign them to each team. I keep trades/waivers/free agency to manual and only change to them to auto during July when a team falls out of contention and the team status changes to rebuild. Then change back to manual after the trade deadline.

I find that this helps control the bad trades when a team in contention trades a way a big name.
