MLB '11 The Show: Tips and Work Arounds

With 30 team control do you lose the out of town scoreboards like last year?

Make a custom 2 profile and set the other 29 teams to CPU and keep your active profile as manual or whatever settings you prefer.. You still have the ability to adjust any of the other CPU managed teams because you are still in control of them, they just aren't under a manually active profile.

You didn't lose the out of town scoreboards.
You have to sim the games you don't want to play first...then play your game.
The boards(and now new ticker as well) will update as if the game is being played in accordance with yours.
Did you really lose out on the scoreboard and ticker last year thinking it didn't work?

Just to add the workarounds, if you want lineups and pitcher rotations to stick that you have set up and want to carry over to franchise mode you have to manually cut down the 40 man roster of each team to the 25 man roster prior to ending spring training, otherwise they will do their own waivers and cuts, and then they will see fit to set the lineups based on their logic (ex. Jeter batting 8th, Helton batting 2nd, etc.)

Not sure if you are allowed to ask q's in here. If not this can be deleted.

But has anyone found a work around for the closer getting yanked when he gives up a hit/run

No..I don't think so....
I sent a PM to Russ about this....I think this will have to be a patch thing.
I've tried everything as a work around.

I knew about the simming last year. I was just typing on my iPod touch and I thought it was the most judicious way to ask the question .

Definitely a must before starting your chise, but if your like me you are 12 games deep and just finding out that the cpu likes to bat there power hitter (aka man.ram) in the #2 hole lol......there may be a workaround to this, here is what im gonna try....at the controller select screen change the user over to the team your playing against, edit there lineup realistically, then when the game starts slide the controller over to your user club....this may be a quick fix for people whom have already starting there seasons without any edits before hand...
