0327 Preseason Beta

Xbox AR save.... give it a shot. If you experience any freezing, try to note which player caused it (due up next, pitcher out of the bullpen, etc.). This is for MLB lineups only.

If anyone wants the DAT files for PC or modded Xbox, PM me your address.

Also, let me know if any player races are largely out of whack.

Thanks! Looking forward to checking these out!

Thanks for these, will definitely try them out and let you know if there is any freezing.

edit: played a bunch of games and no freezes. As expected a dynasty does freeze when simmed.

Played exhibition game between Yankees and Phillies- no freeze...made 5 pitching changes and at least 4 defensive/pitch hitters. A lot of fun- thanks for doing this for us Xbox users.

So I tried to use the rosters in Franchise....simmed it. Froze on April 16th.

Hmm... that's weird, b/c I simmed an entire season, but I turned off injuries, suspensions, etc. so it would hum through and it went to the playoffs. What team were you controlling? I assume the Phillies.

Also, did you make any attribute changes while a player was still on his team, especially while in the franchise/season, b/c this could be a culprit.

In my dynasty attempt I played as the A's and the only difference i made was calling up Eric Chavez to the majors. it got to an injury fine and went past it, but then froze at 8-8.

edit: two more attempts, both with injuries off, one with chavez back in the minors and they stilll froze, at like 17games played and 19 games played

Thanks guys... info. like this helps. The culprit seems to be that even though there are 1-606 default cyberface slots, there are about 50 interspersed throughout that you can't use. The numbers are known, but it's a matter of finding them. It also seems like even if you are playing in the majors, if someone in the minors has a bad cyber, the game will recognize it, not like it, and potentially freeze.

Checked back and found that Chavez on the A's was ok, but a couple of players were not, as well as with the Yanks (2 of them) & Phils (4 of them).

It's weird because somehow I missed Jason Werth, but I've played a mock Phils season game and obviously used him. No freeze. But I made sure I assigned him a generic face now.

Looks like I'll have to go through and see what else I can find in the minor leagues as this is obviously affecting the majors.

I played as the Phillies- with injuries off...however, suspensions were on...I'll try another game later today probably AL with suspensions off too and try a franchise sim.
