Online Franchise advancing question

[GuitarJC13]

How will the online franchise work as far as advancing weeks? I've only played online franchise with NCAA, Madden, and NBA 2k. Will it have a whole week available at a time or just a certain number of games?

It looks like it goes by series.

My question is, how do you advance from one series to another? I'm just getting a message that says "sim queued", but no option to advance from one series to another. Am I missing something?

I too am wondering how I can advance the franchise.

Hell, I'm just wondering how to get the game to let me activate. I keep loading and loading the roster, yet keep getting the error to wait for the roster (a few mins) to upload.

Man o man...

Yep. I've uploaded a roster, and it is taking forever to process. We've been sitting here for half an hour waiting for the league to activate, to no avail.

We're (hopefully) using the series/manual feature, but now at day one of the season, I don't know the proper way of getting us to those first games beyond AZ and LA.

I messed with this on PS3 and got it going somehow, but it definitely wasn't a "click here and wahlah" approach, that's for sure.

That's not good. I'm really worried about Online Franchise at the moment. It took us an hour to get in, the fantasy draft was pretty bad (CPU took almost all the relievers/closers in the early rounds), and it doesn't seem like there's any way to advance manually.

Hopefully a patch clears all of this up.

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

I too am having the advancing issue. I believe the game list screen is the key...i am going to try and just sim the LA/ARI games and then advance.

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

OK, I figured it out guys. In order to be able to advance to the next series, you have to make sure the Dodgers vs Diamondback two games have been simmed/played and also you have to sim the bye week for each team. You have to go through each team's schedule on the calendar and sim those first 3 days of the schedule. It will say simqueued for a while, but once its done, your game list screen should be empty...then you can advance

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

To make things simpler, instead of going schedule by schedule, just do all of this in the games list menu.

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

I did an online fantasy draft last night with some of my friends but for 12 hours now our franchise has been stuck on the "cleaning up draft" stage and will not move to the "draft finalized" stage so we can play. We don't have the players we drafted and the whole process took too long not to work. What can I do I do not want to redraft and do a whole different franchise???

Re: Online Franchise advancing question

Im still struggling. I only have 6 teams in my franchise and all have played their games. I sim'd everyone's bye and all say "Bye Finished" yet I can't find where to actually Advance the league. I've advanced 3 series already but this is the first one with a bye. I forget even where to find "Advance to next Series" or what ever it says....Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I have the series set to Series (Auto).
