Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

Re: Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

So...if I set auto to everything except my team then once the players who are injured get off the DL the computer will adjust their rosters to have those DL players back in the lineup?

Start them at the level you want to see them returned to from the DL when they are healed and yes...you will.

If you start with them in Single A....the CPU will return them there.

So is this to avoid having to set up every team in your own?

Awesome, the ability to copy saves should be an intrinsic right, you should never be denied the ability to copy and backup YOUR saves.

Hell yea, here is my 30 team franchise based off bama fans pitch edits and I have moved those on DL on MLB, so will return and not sit in minor's.

Re: Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

Does anyone know if it's possible to create multiple saves with this file?

Other than with a flashdrive I mean.

Is their any workaround I'm unaware of? I'd hate to bank my entire franchise on ONE save file. If it corrupts, I'm done.

no problems for me so far

Of course not. It's YOUR file.

The issue is, when loading a file created by someone else, the game only allows you to create one save with it. And, that save has to overwrite the original franchise file.

Is their any way around this? I'd like to create several, incase one corrupts on me.

lol, just thinking here but could you create a dummy franchise file and overwrite that one?

Re: Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

Can't you just copy it to another PS3 user on your system?

Re: Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

I've tried downloading and transferring via flash drive a few times, and I still can't get the PS3 to read the memory card. I've done this before and it worked fine. I downloaded the file, unzipped in Windows 7, moved the folder over to the flash drive, where I created a PS3 folder and then a SAVEDATA folder. I put the four unzipped files in the SAVEDATA folder and plugged in the flash drive to the PS3, but no luck. Yes, the flash is FAT32 formatted also. Anything I missed/not doing correctly?

You need to put just the one folder into SAVEDATA and not each file individually

Oh. Similar to the faulty save workaround? Yeah, that could work. I'll try it.

What do you mean? I mean, could that help? I know how to do that, but I can't see how that would allow me multiple saves. Maybe it would.

Here's the exact issue, in case I was vague before:

I take a franchise file created by someone else and place it on my flashdrive.

I copy that file onto my PS3.

Load franchise.

I immediately get a message stating something to the effect: "This save file has been created by another user. All saves will only over-write the existing save file. Trophies have been disabled." Not verbatim, but to the point.

I save.

It AUTO SAVES over the original franchise file (even with auto save off).

I can only save over one file. I cannot have any backup files. If this one file happened to corrupt, my franchise would be done.

This scares me, regardless of being able to backup via flashdrive.

Any suggestions?

When you have more than one user on your PS3, you can copy saves from one user to another. For example, I have 2 other users on my PS3 for my Europe and Japan PSNs. Users on the PS3 don't even need to have PSN accounts either. Basically, when I go to say copy a file to my USB drive, I also have to option to copy the file to other users on my PS3. Each user has their own unique save data in their Saved Data Utility "folder" so create a new dummy user and copy the file to their saved data.

Re: Franchise Copy Ability Has Returned

Hustlin,

So this is a franchise file with no injured players and the lineups/rotations are correct and stick? What is the 25/40 man situation on these so the linueps dont get jumbled?

Just want to make sure what I am using.

Thanks.
