Online Franchise advancing question

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

Does each roster have to have only 25 men (besides Class A)? I see that one team has 27 on it's AAA Roster. That is really the only anomaly that I can find.

yep and that may/may not be the problem, but I would suggest you get that roster down to 25

Ok...that didnt work. Let me get the basic question out of the way - What screen will I find where to advance the league? Home? Around the League? Management? I'm ashamed to say that I've done it twice now but can't remember where I found it. Unless it gave me an prompt to do it before and for some reason its not ready.

The only other thing I can think of is the Bye day right between series. I went through and manually advanced each team's bye day this morning.

Why can't they just have a button for the Commissioner to advance the league. If the Commish goes to advance and it's not ready then it should give a a pop up that says league not ready and tell you why.

I can try to stream but I don't know how. I heard that there was something similar when approaching the play offs. Maybe resetting everyone's last game and resolving it might work too but I started this mini Franchise (14 games) to test it & get experience for when 15 comes out so I really should learn this stuff.

EDIT: One thing that I noticed is that one of the CPU teams has only 4 Starters in their rotation. I doubt that would be the cause since they do have all rosters at 25 and all line ups appear to be complete.
Then one other thing that I remembered was that me and a friend were playing a a game in our series when we lost connection. That game was 'deleted' and we just started over the next day. So far those are the only things I can think of.

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

Hell, I'm just wondering how to get the game to let me activate. I keep loading and loading the roster, yet keep getting the error to wait for the roster (a few mins) to upload.

Man o man...

I'm having the same problem. It won't let me activate my online franchise. I uploaded a roster and it says processing this may take a few mins, now is a good time to train etc. Then I go to activate and it says only the commish can do this. I am controlling the Rockies which it has my user name next to and in a green box next to it says on. The other 29 teams say cpu and in a off in red next to them. Can someone please help ?

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

The league activation seems to take a while. I initially tried to run a test league to sim and see what the offseason is like, and if the schedules change year to year (they didn't late year). I ran into a problem after reaching and finishing the final series of the season, it would give a server error when trying to advance to the playoffs. It will show the games on the schedule, but they wont be in the game list. When I go to the schedules and resolve the games and go to advance again, it either gives a server error and does nothing, or just adds games to the playoff series (5 game series turns into a 10 game series if I advance).

It just keeps repeating. This is a major issue for online franchises and something I haven't seen mentioned. I was wondering if anyone else has tested it?
