    I suggest everyone who is upset about this, write MS and let them know it could affect their desire to sell their 360 and buy a PS3.

    Wouldn't hurt emailing EA either.

      Don't get me wrong either. I think it sucks that this is the only route they feel they could take to deal with the issue of people using the tansfer device to cheat their gamerscores and what not. This shouldn't come as a complete shock. They (MS) have been extremely outspoken that they are against these types of actions. They have to do something to stop this if they are going to continue to have contests for prizes that directly correlates with your gamerscore. I just hate that there is a (likely small) group of people that ruins it for all of us.

      Hopefully we have found ways to get around this. We are going to have to hide Fiddy like the pregnant woman in Children of Men.
      LOL at hiding Fiddy. I own both machines and enjoy them for what they are. I meant that I would be doing my alot more of my sports gaming on the PS3 because it appears to be easier with the rosters. Who knows? Maybe there is a work-a-round.

      You're right about the small number of abusers. It just gets me a little annoyed that because of achievements and contests, the gaming takes a backseat in this regard. Rosters are a huge part of gaming, but in now way am I saying the 360 sucks because of it. I'm not into the whole "one machine is better" deal.

          I wasn't able to help the past few days as my 360 died right before the update came out, but I got a new one and I noticed that almost all of DK's MLB rosters are corrupted EXCEPT for his April 24th roster. Now I don't know if that's because I made some changes to it, but it still works. If you guys need me to do anything, I'll be pretty much free a little bit this weekend and most next week.

          EDIT: And the last NBA 2k7 rosters that XRob did still work for me, again possibly because I made a few changes myself.

            i have been keeping up with this thread since it started and i have checked just about all my roster files. i have FK's ncaa footbal roster and it loads up fine, the os1128 community file for college hoops also loads fine. and i didnt make any changes or rename any of them. i played my boy in college hoops tonight and he didnt have the real names but i did. at this point i dont know what to think cuz im not having the probs most are having here.

              Ok the reason I think Fiddy's file did not work on mine is that I had never saved anything to my harddrive based on that original file. I just downloaded it last night to see if it would work after the update. I am assuming everyone that had the original file and then did their own saves throughout the course of playing it were fine. But if you download it from scrach like I did last night, it will not work. It will not let me copy or anything because it says corrupted on the memory card.

              Dkrause your rosters said corrupted on mine when I went to copy them to HD

                Seems to me some of you are overreacting considering theres no "solid" definition of what MS has done regarding saves.

                      That's absolutely the most messed up thing I've ever heard.

                        Wow this is just messed up. I am not impressed with Microsoft to say the least. Has anyone bothered to call Customer Service to ask why the updated corrupted files?

                          What if DKrause created a silver account with a different name then tried saving the file? It might be tied to his XBL name.

                            Ohh, good idea. If he makes a new silver account for free, and recreates a file, and uploads it, we'd know if it's the system or the live name.

                              I also sent a link to this thread to xbox360fanboy. They seem to have pretty good readership and I know they're read by Microsoft employees. This is the silliest thing I've ever heard in my life. Instead of just getting rid of the bad apples who trade gamesaves for achievements, they chopped down the tree, and threw the apple cart away as well. Typical MS overreaction.

                                I bet ya this is it! Keep your fingers crossed, but it seems like the most likely. Later
