    Re: Lineup Bugs, FA signings, and Player Progression

    It's a shame because they went through the trouble of updating the menus in franchise mode. They also added dynamic attendance, ticket pricing, and buzz news. Not to mention how it all correlates to franchise success and finances.

    To do all that and then not test franchise mode years down the line to find this bug is a shame. This is something every fan can find out by simply simulating a full season. 2k couldn't do this to discover this problem and fix it?

    I'm sure someone can say, "Franchise mode is next year's problem." If that's the case then why even include it this year? It's unplayable if the best players in the league aren't even playing because they 1. don't get signed or 2. don't get promoted after injury.

    Why should I care about fan buzz or dynamic attendance if St. Louis fans can't even watch Albert Pujols knock in 120 runs a year and flip his bat 40 times in a season?

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

      WOW! This game has really annoyed me because of all the homeruns. I haven't even gotten into franchise mode yet but after reading this I'm not even going to bother.

        Maybe they don't have a simple fix for it? It's a shame if they don't because I think with sliders the gameplay will be incredible, and I really enjoy the game.

          Same here bro- gameplay wise this game has been as good as it gets. I'll still play the game for a while. It's fulfilling my March pre-Mets urge for baseball.

          I'm not holding my breath for a fix for franchise- it doesn't seem like something a simple patch can remediate. It's too bad though, this game would be outstanding if franchise was solid.

            i think the lineup bug somehow is connected to their "online" roster.. i played an online game tonight & when it uploaded the roster to play, it was exactly the same messed up roster you would see during your franchise play.

              I heard people saying same thing happens with stock rosters. If they could fix this with a roster update, it'd be incredible.

                not as bad though.... at least Derek Lee was hittin where he should be but it does appear they can fix it (hopefully), cause if it is a stock roster problem, they must have the program for it


                FIX IT!!
