30 team franchisers.

No...maybe I didn't explain it right. Last year if we went into roster management and swapped a player to the FA list and then swapped him back to his team, the salary and years would change, usually randomly. So if you did it enough you would get close to what you wanted.**(I believe this is what Hustlin was eluding to, if not I apologize)

This year that doesn't seem to work, at least I couldn't get it to.

So I am suggesting take the players you want to change contracts for and release them all to FA. SAVE Roster. Now load a 30 team franchise. Now go to each team and resign each player.

I see now! Hustlin was stating to do this all outside of franchise mode from the "roster management" screen like we could last year.

That appears to not be the case this year though. BTW, what does the player contracts look like signing FA's how you stated in comparison to how we could do it last year? Do the FA's still accept the same salary range? Thanks!

Well one way I just figured out to work around the trade thing is to turn trades to manual so the cpu doesnt make any trades and then turn it on like right after the all star game and just check the pending trades like every 4 days. Is there a way for the cpu to control emails to the teams that you don't to control instead of having to read through all 30 teams emails. That little blinking email light in the corner just gets annoying

PENDING TRANSACTIONS-----TRADES.
You can leave them on and check that everyday and just step in and decline or let it go through.

Alright so I got everything set up with the custom profiles and such with the manual/auto etc... But for whatever reason I cannot get the cpu from keeping the lineups and roster moves I had set up, as soon as I end spring training they take over and put people on waivers, call up/send down, change the lineups and I have these things set to Manual...

Is it just me or something I'm not doing right

By the way on the franchise mode options at the beginning I chose:
Fantasy draft - off
Cpu roster control - off
-cpu trading - on
-instant trades - off
-ignore budgets - off
Force trades - off
DH - auto

Anyone get their lineups and stuff to stick from the main menu roster control and get it to stick once you bring them over to Franchise mode

To add to this, make sure you have "Instant Trades" (or whatever the option is specifically called) set to OFF. I believe that's the default choice anyway, but check to make sure when you start up.

Otherwise (unless something has changed for 11) the trade will immediately go through and you won't have a chance to override. Luckily, with 30 team control, you can override almost anything, so if there is a trade you want done immediately (for whatever reason-maybe mimicking real-life transactions), simply take control over the team offered the trade and accept.

Really, IMO, there is no reason to NOT use 30 team control. You can still set it up to mostly play like a single team franchise, but also have the power to adjust for what you want. It's like having a giant override switch for anything you see that doesn't sit well with you. Pretty awesome.
