    Well you can start playing now.
    Don't use the quick steal shortcut.
    Simply hit X....highlight the player and choose STEAL 2nd instead of the shortcut "STEAL ALL" button.
    The steal command doesn't stick when using that method.

        That's exactly my issue. I usually sim the first season. Seeing so many good young players in FA changing teams is frustrating. Too many dang transactions. One season I saw that Felix got traded for Wainwright then the Cards traded him to SF for Lincecum.

          I think you should be able to keep players and not let them retire, it would get annoying when playing a 30 year franchise and many good players and allstars just starting retiring.

            Start the RTTS but don't progress the 1st season.My guess is that the patch will only effect events after your last save. So if Mike Leake enters FA after the 1st offseason, the update won't have him renewed for the minimum if you saved after the 1st offseaon. Same thing applies to franchise if you don't put all 30 teams on Manual for the offseason stuff.

              How are some random guys from the internet more likely to "help" you than the guys who make the game!?

              So if WE tell you to start...you'd be good to go?

              I'm sorry, I just don't understand.(I'm not trying to be funny here...I really just don't see how we would make it less skeptical)

              I wanted to know that most if not all of the detailed description in the next update will proceed in our in-game progress. I know that know one has the total answer but maybe someone with more knowledge of the process can advice me to start your Rtts without worry of any update not making it to your game mode or wait.

                One thing I'm disgusted about is that fact they (Sony) promoted a feature, apparently didn't beta test the franchise/RTTS modes, and now we have an issue that nullifies two of the main modes of the game...

                If MLB2K was any less glitchy, I'd play that but apparently that surfers from game killers as well.

                More importantly, we are going on a month now and no since of urgency by Sony. Yes, they give out fantastic information, however, still no word on if this will be released tomorrow or next year.

                  You can start your RTTS. The patch will take effect on pre-existing chises and RTTS's.

                  Not sure how to make it any more clear.

                    However, you can't progress past the 1st year.

                      And you can play one whole year in a month?

                      Amazing!

                      And you can progress. Not like the game freezes.

                        Some people like to simulate past the first year and start in year two. Everyone approaches it differently.

                        And yes, you technically can progress, but I think the point was simply that if you are the type to sim a lot, and want to be able to progress with everything working as advertised, you need to hold off unto the patch is out. I'd imagine it won't be long until it's out though.

                          Don't the problems hit in year 3 though?

                            Well, I think it depends on which problems we're talking about. My understanding is that the FA issue is year 3, but the issues with guys not getting arbitration happens in the first off season, so if you're a single team franchise guy, you're stuck with that if you don't wait it out.

                            I play 30 team and am anal about roster stuff, so not only do I not run into a lot of these issues (since I'm so hands on), but I couldn't get to the off season this fast if I tried...lol. I can understand the frustration of those who are in a holding pattern though.

                              You can progress past the 1st year in franchise only if you're using 30 team control and you put the offseason stuff on Manual. If you're not, don't bother as the offseason game AI is really bad until we get that patch. RTTS is even worse. You can't go past the 1st year because the Game AI makes really bad trades, there's no interaction to remove yourself from the trade block, and more often than not the team lets key players at the end of contract enter FA. I had 1 RTTS where after my 500K contract was up in AAA, the team offered me a 1 year 10,000,000 deal!You definitely want to wait for that patch past tthe 1st year.

                                Just wait until the patch comes out.

                                I don't see why everyone acts like waiting a month or two is going to matter that much. We all know you will probably restart the franchise at some point in time anyway so just start a franchise with the expectation that you will restart when the new patch comes out.

                                This franchise killing glitch happened in '10 too with too many A-potential players and then the run scoring issue. You ought to be used to this type of thing by now. Yeah we know it sucks and it's not cool, but the game is still playable atm as is franchise mode.

                                Personally- despite what they say, I'm still holding out until the patch drops to be 100 sure. Then I'll have the best OS rosters with pitch edits and equipment changes, plus I can see who I need to adjust etc.

                                And don't get it twisted I'm not the one to blanket defend developers of ANY GAME regardless of their track record, but this issue it nothing
