    Just picked up game - few questions

    So I just picked up this game today and plan on playing it for the first time in a little bit, and eventually I plan on starting a franchise with the Cubs, but I had a few questions that I'm wondering about before I begin, forgive me if these have been answered in the past:

    1. How is the franchise mode overall in this game? Any bugs to worry about? If so, any patches that will be coming out to fix any such bugs?

    2. Have they released an opening day roster update yet? If not, any idea when it will be out?

    3. Any gameplay bugs overall? And are there any patches to fix such issues if so?
    You stay classy, Operation Sports.

    Let me start off by saying for the most part, I enjoy this game.

    If it's a working, fun franchise that you're after, like a lot of us, you better hope the patch saves it so franchise mode can be playable. Right now, in my opinion, it is not.

    Sim stats are WAY off. Low batting averages, ridiculously high ERAs for elite starting pitchers... Players regress in ratings for no apparent reason at an alarming rate. Free agency is pretty much broken.

    I believe a roster has been released, but it does not yet have rookies in it. Jason Heyward is not in the game yet. In time, very soon I'd think, a new roster update will be released.

    Do you enjoy having very realistic rosters, including minor leagues? If so, keep in mind that there is an editing cap. After a certain amount of characters/players, it won't let you edit player names any more. You can edit as much as you want as far as attributes, batting stances, pitching deliveries, etc...

    For us franchise lovers, we just need to hope that 2K delivers huge on this upcoming patch. If they do, this is going to be a very good game. If they don't, this game will collect dust for people who need a pretty realistic and bug-free franchise experience.

      ...one more big thing.

      There's a problem with drafted rookies causing the game to freeze.

      Franchise mode is unplayable right now.
