PSA: Important Information Regarding Save Reset Bug

[Leftos]

I've had a small number of reports from users where their MyLEAGUE/MyGM save would reset when in their save and visiting the team select screen after selecting "Play Game" or loading an in-game save.

This is caused because of an edge-case bug that occurs when you select a custom roster using the Y/Triangle button in Quick Game. If that's one of the last things you did (independent of whether you played the quick game or not) before you load your MyGM/MyLEAGUE save, then it is possible that visiting the team select menu in your save might reset it.

To avoid this from happening, DO NOT load a MyGM/MyLEAGUE save after using a custom roster in quick game. Restart the game completely by closing the application and starting it again in between.

UPDATE: A user notified me to the fact that this is also happening if you use a Custom Roster in the Team Select screen for a Freestyle or other practice. So let me generalize this and say that if outside of a game-mode you've selected a Custom Roster in Team Select via the Y/Triangle button, DO NOT load your MyGM/MyLEAGUE saves without restarting the game.

This should not affect anyone that doesn't use custom rosters for quick game. In any run of the game where you didn't use a custom roster in quick game, you're not at risk of having your MyGM/MyLEAGUE save reset.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and are looking to have this fixed without the need for a workaround as soon as possible.

I have to personally thank the community members that helped me track down this rare bug. Your help is immensely appreciated. Again, apologies.

Not only did it happen to me, it turned my franchise into a DIFFERENT franchise. Became a 76ers MyLeague instead of the Hornets. I had just started that Hornets one and never started a Philly one so I was confused but found it hysterical. Thanks for clarification.

Thanks for the heads-up, Leftos.

This is another reason I stick with 2K: Their programmers actually give a darn about us.

Does this happen when you use a custom roster for MyLeague?

Great communication.

Merely starting a MyLEAGUE with a custom roster won't cause this. But if you use a custom roster to play a Quick Game at any point, it doesn't matter what roster you used to start your MyLEAGUE, you should NOT go into your MyGM/MyLEAGUE save without completely closing the game and restarting it.

If that isn't clear enough, let me know and I'll try to clarify further.

Re: PSA: Important Information Regarding Save Reset Bug

Leftos when you say "reset" are you talking about the custom rosters resetting to default while your in myleague or the standings resetting to 0 eventho you played or simulated games, or all the above?

Just want to know if this is the same bug I ran into in my myleague.

Re: PSA: Important Information Regarding Save Reset Bug

How do I stop the CPU from changing lineups after I adjusted them? I had Danny Green starting and Manu coming off the bench and when I went to play Dallas vs San Antonio Manu was starting in place of Danny and Danny was not hurt.

SN: Save froze after I exited the Mavs vs Spurs game at the beginning and now I have to start another MyLeagu over. Anyone else have this problem?

Both sound like symptoms of this issue.

Are you sure you didn't do what I said in the original post and still had that happen to you?

I'm positive. I loaded up a custom roster and then boom lineup reset and freeze. I'll try it again when I get home.

They may give a darn about us, and it's great Leftos gave a work around for us. The question you need to ask yourself is "are they going to fix it so we don't need the work around?" That's were I feel 2k sometimes lacks..... Lots of bugs and issues this year....LOTS!

And yes, RayRay34, the fix is pending for a future patch. Even though I have no ETA, I can guarantee you we want that fixed. It is a major issue and we don't take it lightly.

Re: PSA: Important Information Regarding Save Reset Bug

Great! I thought it was something else causing this problem. Now I can start a Franchise!

Re: PSA: Important Information Regarding Save Reset Bug

Is this resetting bug referring to how all the tendencies/team POEs etc revert back to default?
