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

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.

CPU ON is working with the exception of YOUR opponent in YOUR Franchise. Weird huh?? Hope this makes sense

Yeah that's it the roster control fix is only for simulated games when you play game the screen will show the lineup as what you changed it to, but once you start the game the "cpu game time decisions logic" takes over. Which will default the lineup if you want to play with your edited lineup you must use the two controller work around.

But the execution was just flat out terrible. Hopefully some big changes (personnel if necessary) will be happening before next year's game.

No, they just need to have more QA people available and more time. It's a great game, and you can't lose sight of the talented people that it takes to make this game.
I ask you this? Has anyone else ever made a better playing game of baseball? Has anyone ever made a better baseball game overall? (This is rhetorical, let's not start a MVP vs MLB debate, please (not referring to you N8

I would assume that if this was a solution then not only would Russell state this but he wouldnt mention anything about Knight having to re-do them nor would Knight be saying how it sucked. All signs on my end point to the rosters being in some sort of "incompatible" position and not being able to be used thanks to something being changed within the way the game utilizes the roster feature. If thats correct and those that are experiencing crashes are using custom rosters from before then maybe this "incompatible" or "contaminated" roster issue is causing it. In the end Im just speculating but it all makes sense to me atleast.

Guys....the only thing effected in the roster is the historical stats.
NOTHING ELSE...
You can use them in any way, shape or form....You can use them in season, in practice, in franchise. You can use them for exhibition, for quick games for RTTS.
You can play them in your sweat pants...your skivvies.......in the suit that God gave you while drinking a mint julip and eating grapes.
Holy heck what would you guys do in a real emergency!!

I can't believe I actually feel bad like somehow all this added pressure on SCEA is caused by me. I cannot however start these rosters over again just to rid them of the stat glitch. Just can't do it.
Sorry.

Thanks for confirming this Brian. I have been try to tell people that will listen this all day long. The workaround is actually fine. Here it is for the last time today, and now its time to go eat my barb-b-qued chicken, lol.

OK guys, I have GREAT news for CPU roster control ON guys!

The lineups do get messed up when you sim the spring training.

After you sim spring training, go in and redo all the lineups the way you want them. (I put Helton batting 3rd for instance)

Then, when you sim regular season games, the box scores show Helton and guys like that in the correct place in the lineup with CPU roster control ON. With CPU Roster control off, I guess you won't be able to change the computer lineups however after they get shuffled during spring training.

Then, for the games you play, just use the 2 controller method (see below) I stated earlier, and that takes care of your opponents lineups for the game you play. If you set the CPU lineups in roster control and then use the second controller, you won't even have to put the correct lineups in again unlike before.

For historical stats (and to avoid the glitch), if you use any roster created using the 4/20 or 4/27 (todays) SCEA rosters, you will NOT have a historical stat glitch.

I am good now.

Found a workaround to CPU roster control ON lineups, simmed and non simmed.
Cubs schedule fixed.
Historical stat glitch fixed on 4/20 and 4/27 based lineups.
I am a happy camper now

. Sure, it's not perfect, but it has workarounds.

Second controller method

1. Have 2 controller ready by turning them both ON

2. Go to play your game in the schedule in Franchise or Season.

3. Press X to Play your teams games

4. Press X until you get to the controller select screen.

5. Move your controller 1 to your team. Move controller 2 to the team you are playing against.

6. Press X on both controllers (can also select uniforms here).

7. Choose your starting pitcher for each team with each controller.

8. Change the lineups for the team you are playing against with controller 2 and and move it up to accept lineup, but don't press X yet.

9. Make any changes you want for your lineup and then press x to accept lineup.

10. Once the game starts, press the start button on controller 2.

11. Select Controller select.

12. Move the controller 2 icon back to the middle (to have the CPU control that team again). Then press the circle button.

13. You are ready to play. Just resume the game with either controller.

14. The CPU behaves like it does any other time, doing subs, pitching changes, pinch runners, etc. so don't worry about that aspect.

Only for the stats.

Totally understandable brotha. Yes, I haven't seen so much panic since I told the medical interns they were on their own for the night, lol.

I guess so. My RTTS won't play either. It crashes everytime I go to the Schedule. What a joke. I finally get the Majors, and now I can't even play.

Guess it is time to sell this game on eBay.

Thanks for the response Russell! I understand what is happening now, but what about the little ole MOM guys like me. I have 2 controllers but it does not give you the option to change your opponents lineup when you choose Manage Game. Anyway around this? I could be missing something. Please let me know if it is possible as this is the only way I play

# 174 sirwoodz @ 04/27/09 07:54 PM

man, most of the issues that this patch addressed weren't even problems for me in the first place...cmon, fixing camera's going through the crowd? plus, I don't play online.

my only gripe has been the fatigue during the franchise problem. for them not to fix this is insane...can we get a reason as to why? is it something that is hard to fix w/the whole "buy a plane for your team" coding?

I know the look.....like when a probie is at his first fire

(I guess mine must have looked the same way!)..."We're gonna go in THERE!?...
I saw a lot of guys with that same look several year ago though

....we just shrugged and took care of business anyway.
So yeah...this ish is SMALL potatoes(if you know what I mean....just a shame some guys can't see it that way.)

On another note...

Doc....someone also PM'ed me about another solution to the lineups...one that won't require a second controller. I did NOT get a chance to check it though and it might be a bit of a pain for some.
When you go to play your game...choose a SPORTSCAST game....then before the first pitch...ENTER the game and the lineup is the roster control lineup from what he said.
If someone can confirm this....it's a pretty good work around.

Does stuff like this really need to be posted? How do this add any input to this thread.

I commend SCEA at the long list of things that DO work in short a short turnaround.

Love this game still. Downlading the patch and about to play my entire season! Every game every matchup. I'll use the 2nd controller to fix the CPU lineup movements.....a small price to pay for hours of enjoyment.

Thanks Russell and your guys at SCEA.

Yeah...I think they fixed it for the CPU(where you would accidentally steal for them)
That is actually the perfect fix IMO.

Knights roster lineup fix works fine. The issue is, if you try to fix any other lineup (the AAA or AA lineups) or the pitching staff, they will not stick. This is for those of us that do NOT use Roster Control.

I dont use it, and i went through the Orioles lineup and set their MLB, AAA, AA lineup and pitching rotation, went into franchise (without roster control on), and the MLB lineup stuck (thanks to Knight's fix), but the other AAA, AA lineup and rotation will not stick.......

That has me disappointed.

I believe you need to download the patch to continue playing online. Just a heads up!
