Franchise freezing post-patch??

[adayinthelife]

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue (by the time I got on here there were 14 pages of the patch topic to weed through) but my franchise appears to be ruined post-patch.

I booted up the game just now and installed the 1.06 patch no problem. The game starts up fine, and my franchise, settings and sliders all load normally. However, once in my franchise as soon as I go to 'Schedule' I get booted back to the ps3 dashboard. I've tried this with loading my settings/sliders and without but I get kicked out either way. This is really pissing me off as I've put a lot of time (about 40 games or so) into my franchise and I've never had an issue what so ever until now with the release of this patch. It's one thing if some of the fixes in the patch don't take effect unless I start a new franchise but I certainly don't want to be forced into starting a new one if I already have one well underway.

I know a few guys around here are even further into their franchises than I am so I guess this is mainly directed at you guys. Has anyone else had a similar problem or does anyone know what I can do about this?

My RTTS is doing the same thing - 6 seasons in.

I'm going to try deleting the patch and hope for the best.

Are you still able to do everything else in your RTTS normally? It seems like I can make use of any of the other menus options but as soon as I go to my Schedule to play a game it's back to the dashboard for me..

Re: Franchise freezing post-patch??

same for me. i know that the patch actually does affect the saved franchises, which is good. but i had the same problem. someone has said that pressing "R2" is what triggerrs the boot. but still, there is no way i can play a franchise without ever touching it. im not sure how to fix this tho. it may have something to do with using old rosters in the franchise. apparently they were scratched with the new patch. the coding for the old rosters is no longer read by the ps3. this probably causes the boot, cuz we are playing with "non-existing" rosters

I had this on the schedule page when I tried to switch to another team's schedule, but the problem was gone by the time I had advanced to the next day. Fortunately I was able to access my own team's schedule without any problems.

What do you mean by pressing R2? Like not pressing it while surfing around the menus?

I started this franchise with the sample version of Knight's rosters and like I said had zero problems with anything prior to this patch. I just deleted the patch and rebooted the game, ignoring the prompt to patch and now the game won't even get to the main menu, it just locks up on the loading screen..

idk i just heard someone say that while in franchise, if you press the r2 trigger, that it causes the crash. im not sure if this is true, and actually as im writing this it just crashed and i didnt press r2 so never mind. that obviously doesnt trigger it

csker7: It's not from hitting R2 - I was staring at my television trying to figure out why the CPU completely skipped over a game in my RTTS when I got the crash - no way I hit R2. Your explanation seems logical enough, but if that's the case, that means no one can use the original game rosters and on top of that, knights rosters will have problems too.

adayinthelife: I can do everything else fine - I even played a game before I got the crash. Just the schedule screen for me as well.

right, in fact i think the devs even asked knight if this was ok. they told him his rosters would be moot after the new patch. he said to go ahead with it, and he may have to make brand new rosters.

Well it's one thing if the historical glitch would still happen when using older rosters like those that Knight's were based off of, but for everyone to have to start new Franchises and RTTS's is total bull**** in my opinion.

crazy.

I don't know man - if deleting the patch doesn't work, I might be done with this game. It's been fun, I won't knock the game but I've suddenly lost interest in the game. I don't have time to redo what I've done in RTTS and just no interest in franchise right now.

If there's a fix for this freeze than I'll keep going but right now I'm beyond dissapointed. Brutal.

Re: Franchise freezing post-patch??

I'm very afraid!!!!

I sat down finally with 2 days this weekend to do nothing, but be a bum and finally played my Franchise into the middle of May. My roommate which is really a bum is at the end of September in his franchise about to hit the off season. I am also in an online league. If this is true I don't want to download the patch at all which means I would sacrifice playing in my online league over these franchises, but in the end this might be the straw that broke the camels back for me. For both of us to have to start over wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. Disheartening to say the least!!! I love this game, but why????

Re: Franchise freezing post-patch??

i agree. i just deleted the patch and it seems to work fine now (the saved franchise). i may just have to play with the glitches and what not, cuz there is zero percent chance im starting over

deleting the patch worked? how exactly do you do that anyway? i'm kind of a ps3 noob.

Re: Franchise freezing post-patch??

For all of those having this issue can you state whether you are using the new post patch rosters from today or using pre patch rosters.

I think if we can decide that its only prepatch we can then just rule out using them. As much as i like some of the rosters out there. The game crashing if i use them is enough to sway me to only the new post patch rosters.
