I am also not sure if the lineups stick with CPU roster control ON for spring training. I will look tonight when I get home. Either way, QA was not very detail oriented if they thought it was fixed.

Exactly, Doc. Everyone has been requesting more clarification as well from the devs and there's nothing...these guys set the bar high w/regard to community involvement so it's a bit quiry.

As of now yes. Some people don't like the attribute changes to guys like Grady Sizemore (had to lower power to get him to lead off, I think), Soriano. But, I think it is the best option for CPU roster control OFF guys right now that can live with the stat glitch.

Hopefully, when he reloads his rosters to the vault, they will be glitch free, but I am not holding my breath on that one.

It is true. You are talking about an edited roster that not everyone wants to use.

I PMed Russell and I will let you guys know if he replies about the CPU roster control lineup issue and the historical stats questions if I am able to do so.

I'm honestly not trying to be critical when I say that, but that shouldn't have gotten through if they thought it was a fix as listed in the patch details.

I am almost hoping they will say, "oops we loaded up the wrong patch".

i assume the answer to this is yes, and please pardon me if this was asked/answered already... but:

what if i begin a fantasy draft franchise, will the roster line-up logic "glitch" place obvious lead-off type hitters late in the line-up or power hitters leading off? (ie., will helton still be leading off on his new team?)

[scooteristkai]

Nobody answering from the devs makes me believe that they accidentally put out a patch that doesn´t really solve what they wanted it to solve.

That´s only from reading the list and you guys´ comments.

Yes that is an excellent work around that you came up with. My problem is i have no extra controller and i only play this game and don't really have the need for an extra one.

The DL problem is still there? Amazing
