So does your roster file have any kind of advantage over the stock 4/20 or 4/27 updates?

It would only be the lineup fix since players have been added by SCEA since then. Plus, Knight didn't have many minor leaguers done at the time of that release.

I think I am going to edit the 4/27 rosters for my Cubs, Red Sox, Twins and Indians, if I don't just use one of Knights.

I haven't downloaded the patch yet and I'm using Knights OSFM v2 rosters. I don't care about the stats glitch since I'm only playing 1 season. Will his rosters still work if I download the patch? Again, I don't care about the stats glitch -- I just want a realistic game for a season.

What about the lineups? Will Knight's tweaked roster (OSFM v2) still fix the flawed CPU lineup error?

Thanks in advance!!

You're all good then. I started a franchise with them and simmed today, and it didn't crash on me. Simmed two months.

Man, not to be too negative here, this whole process has been very frustrating. Some stuff they said is fixed isnt, some stuff that isnt fixed, now works differently.

Very aggravating not being able to fix some stuff or go thorugh an easy process. I want to play with the right rosters, with the right lineups but still have injuries and CPU trades. Only way i can do that is to use rosters that have line up fix. WIthout Knight's rosters, its impossible (or close to it).

If i want the right stats, or if i want to use stock SCEA edits and have minor leaguers, i have to turn on roster control and miss out on injuries and trades.........

Very disappointed. But i guess the game itself plays well, its just the window dressing stuff that is messed up. For some of us, its important.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

I have no idea. I don't know if those rosters contain the lineup glitch or the historical stat glitch. Mine do not.

Some guys asked if I'd post it so I did.

Yes, the 4/20 and 4/27 rosters have the lineup glitch (its the game). They do NOT have the career stats glitch.
Yours would be a good base for Knight if he wanted to redo his work. (I don't expect him to by the way, and he said he wouldn't, but maybe he doesn't know about yours Country Boy).

I just played a game and used the quick menu and the pitchers stamina was still 100%. That was supposed to be one of the fixes. Can someone else confirm I am using an existing franchise as well?

Russell, is there any chance of getting an RTTS game play patch. When CPU steals second base my shortstop never tags the runner out, even if the throw is there minutes before the runner. Also, player tosses underhand to second from deep in the hole because he gets stuck in a fielding animation.

Really? Turn on Roster Control in the franchise set up role, then go to your franchise, sim or play through spring training. Then once you get to the regular season, go to the "CPU Roster Control" section and edit any/all lineups. They should stick. I just did it.

It wont work if you set it in the main menu outside franchise

This works for every team except the one you play, for instance if you control TEX and swap CLEVS order (OD matchup) CLEV will be changed once you start your game. But let's say your team is the YANKS and you fix all teams batting order, then you can see CLEVS it will stay put for their game vs. TEX. CPU ON is working with the exception of YOUR opponent in YOUR Franchise. Weird huh?? Hope this makes sense

Maybe it's just me but idc a hill of beans about the historical stat glitch. Anyways, the CPU roster control lineup glitch was supposedly fixed...but it's not. What's your take, Mr. Ramone?

It IS fixed, if you use Sony's rosters after 4/20.

CountryBoy, tried loading your rosters but it's not showing up as a roster file when I pop my USB into my PS3?

It looks like it does in the menu, but once you start the game, no. That is why you need two controllers.
Set the lineups after spring training and it works great for simmed games only.

No, the lineup problem is NOT fixed, the historical stats are fixed only on rosters based off of the 4/20 4/27 rosters and the official ones of course. . I ran several tests this morning.

Once you go into your actual game, it is not fixed. It looks like it right before the game starts, but nada.

After you sim spring training, the lineups get moved again. You then have to redo them. If you do this it works fine for sim games. Guys will then be in the correct order
But, NOT for played games. Go into the games and play. YOu will see they are not ok. That is probably what the QA testers at SCEA did, they didn't go into the actual game.
Pitching rotations work fine with either CPU roster control ON or OFF and stick.

It's understandable man. I'm a big stat guy too. And for a game that markets itself as "the most realistic baseball game on any console", it is disappointing. I actually love the new features they've added this year, with 40 man rosters, all the transaction rules, and even the game tracker thing online where you can listen to games (it's really useful when you're waiting on one of your league opponents to finish a game). But the execution was just flat out terrible. Hopefully some big changes (personnel if necessary) will be happening before next year's game.
