    Could SCEA do this ? Great feature

    To all you Tech heads would it be possible to use SCEA weekly online roster moves and apply them to our franchises or seasons modes without affecting the our season stats ?
    Just the transactions would change Real weekly MLB trades , lineup changes , DL ect not the stats .
    I think that would be so cool but is the tech there ?
    Thanks

    I never understood why some people think this is a great idea. Let's say you are playing a franchise and have a team that you have built up and are happy with. Now, in real life, one of your players is traded to another team. Now all your work is gone, because the game placed them on their real life team. How is that fun?

      Its for people who play real baseball real rosters not that fantasy stuff or loading teams up with stars or fake players .
      It would be a great option to add on each week from SCEA online

        I agree. If I want to use the Jays with Live Roster and play a season my pitching staff is decimated forever? Live Roster is useless at this point. Great game though.

          What I would like to see is real lineup moves without affecting player edits. For example, if I download a roster (SCEA official roster or one from the Roster Vault), I lose all of my personal edits. To keep my edits, I use my own roster but have to keep on top of all of the roster moves. That would just be for exhibition games and not for franchise, but still. I want to download SCEA's roster for all of the up-to-date transactions, but then all of my stances, stats, accessories, music, and everything else would go away.

            Yes, they would.

            Thus explaining why it will never be part of the game.

            You answered your own question!

              They can't even put a new patch up without screwing up existing saved games and now you want them to purposely play around with existing saved games?

              Sounds like a recipe for disaster!

                How is it useless?? It may be useless for you because you play fantasy, but for me and others, it would be awesome. Don't say something is useless just because you wouldn't use it. They could make it an option....you could use their live roster update or not.

                  Maybe I just don't get it. How else would you use Live Roster? For exhibition games you mean? I mean that honestly, I'm not being sarcastic btw.

                    Well, for example, every night before I play, I go in and make all the transactions that were made that day in real life(for my franchise). So if they could come up with a way to do this, then people who follow real life wouldn't have to do it manually.

                      Yes, I agree. I want this feature too.

                        That would crash the game in a heart beat there is just no way for that to work. Once you get a month into your franchise and/or season there will have been trades and roster moves. Trying to insert an entirely new roster file into an already existing franchise and/or season mode after roster changes have been made is pretty much impossible.

                        For that to work from just a conceptual standpoint you would have to turn off trades, roster moves, the draft, contracts, free agency, etc......... At that point it wouldn't even be a franchise mode anymore.

                          Three cheers for common sense!

                          Hip hip hooray, hooray hooray!

                          Russell, maybe if you run through a specific example, people just might get what you are talking about...... take a player, he starts in the minors in the opening roster, but then in your season he comes to the majors, while in real life he is injured for three months.... play it out and explain why it won't work...

                          The purpose of the Live Roster update..... one, so those who buy the game any time at all can download the latest rosters, and have a choice to play with those rosters or the ones that came with the game; and two, so there is a uniform set of rosters that are current and can be used for online play by all.

                            Could you stop being an *** for 5 mins and help me out. If I get Live Rosters, can I remove them from injured reserve? I want the latest rosters but the Jays are all injured right now. If I download Live rosters to start a season, then Scott Richmond is my 2nd starter! D'oh!

                              I'm pretty sure if you download the most recent SCEA rosters, all of the Jays pitchers will be on the 51's. (AAA team)

                              Just call them up and you're good to go. My staff right now is: Halladay, McGowan, Litch, Romero, Marcum. I play to have fun, not necessarily to mimic real MLB injuries.

                              There will be other MLB players throughout baseball on the AAA squads but I think there's a list in the Roster section somewhere. The CPU won't call those players up, so you have to do it yourself before you start your franchise which can take a while.
