Franchise stat problems

[p00p1]

So after the new roster update, I decided to finally give franchise a shot. I simmed through the spring training games and went straight to opening day. Looking at the stat overlays as I come up to the plate, it keeps showing what is labeled as last years stats, but they are off. I'm using the Giants and they credit Sandoval with 28hrs 105rbi instead of 25/90. Some of the other players are off too, Torres has 8hrs instead of 6. I'm thinking maybe they included the simmed spring training stats into the stats from last year, but since I simmed, there is no way to know if that is where the numbers are coming from. Has anyone else noticed this?

That must be it, I'm looking at their career stats now, and for 2009 it says Sandoval played 181 games. Way to go 2k...

I just started a new franchise to try and replicate what you're saying, and all the stat overlays in game and outside of the game are fine.

Is this only on opening day?

[p00p1]

I just finished the first series of the season and it still wrong. It's fine for all the other teams, just my Giants team is screwed up. I didn't notice it until the second game, so I'm not sure if it was wrong on opening day as well.

On a side note, I noticed after the season started that a lot of teams sent stars down to AAA and called up low level fake players. I found griffey, ortiz, and vlad in the minors. I have full control of cpu rosters, so I was able to call them back up, but I can't figure out how to edit cpu lineups. So now they are all in the majors, but sitting on the bench. 4 hrs of Franchise so far and nothing but frustration. At least I'm 3-0...

Welcome to franchise mode ...all I'm doing is waiting for the patch to see if they fix some things, and if not I'm getting rid of the game.

Yeah, I was going to wait for the patch too, but after the rosters came out, I figured the patch would fix the gameplay issues during my franchise. Didn't think I'd have to wait for a fix so that I can use the correct rosters.

So does anybody know if there is a way to edit the cpu lineups in Franchise? It would be a lot of work to go fix them all, but I'd rather do that then have screwed up teams. It would be nice if you could start the season with the new updated rosters and not have the cpu override all the rosters for no apparent reason. I think there is a problem with the cpu picking rosters coming out of spring training... and of course the brilliant move of adding spring training stats to 2009 season totals.

Ugh.

We're getting in the terrority of this upcoming patch being CRUCIAL in regards to saving the game. Some might think that's extreme, but with such a broken franchise mode, I can't call this game 'good' even if I want to. Without a working franchise mode (not asking for it be perfect) this game is useless to me.

i haven't noticed the SP/Stat glitch yet, but i have noticed the CPU doing odd things with Roster management on my test franchise.
Damon for the tigers was benched and A-jax was sent down.

Roster management has stunk for both games this year.

If this was made note of weeks ago, it might be fixed in the patch.
