Replays work fine, no freezes etc. Just unzip it and place it on your USB drive (its in the PS3 folder already) then copy it over to your PS3. There is a roster file based on SCEA 4/27 and a Cubs franchise file with cpu roster control on and force trades on. I'm just curious if you will still have replay problems even though I don't (I suspect you still will because I don't think its the franchise save that is the problem, but lets rule out some things). Don't load anything into the franchise like sliders or settings or profile until you try it out as it is. Thanks. Here it is: Side Note: Guru, if you want a Cubs franchise to play (or a roster file) (with until Knight is done with his stock pitchers rosters) with stock players (except Micah Hoffpauer edited for obvious reasons), pitchers, and AAA Cubs faces and names, batting or pitching L or R, & biographical info (attributes not edited yet at all except some added defensive positions on some AAA guys) this is the one for you. No other teams minors are done however. All Cubs helmets are changed to old and some apparel on guys (from the Cubs roster thread). No hidden stances were taken out either. If a guy had a stance with his name in it, I did not change it except Fontenot. Career stat glitch in not in here either.

How many games have you been able to play in your franchise? I've played 4 so far, and so far the replays have worked twice. They worked in the 1st and 3rd game, but not the 2nd and 4th

Its post like this that hurt the community and the realtionship with the developers.

They don't have to be here...its great that they are and we get early input and give feedback that makes it into the game.

The are serious ramifications of just typing what you want on the internet when you are representing your company. Confidentiallity, integrity etc.

He gives us info as it comes without putting his *** on the line.....in todays economy you can't blame anyone that wants to stay employed can you?

I am sure once they know how they are going to handle the situation, it will be communicated to us.

I don't think they are just going to disappear and not tell us anything.

Please don't tell me to play something else. I bought the game for what I knew about it since last year when these issues were not thete. These issues might be small to you but not to me. Line ups are part of thr realism of the game. If they are going to call it the most realistic experience then I should not have to use modified rosters to get a feature to work. Line ups are part of the realism of mlb baseball and so is dh stamina. So is 60 day dl issue...those are all part of baseball.

I don't want to use modied rosters. I want to use the rosters that came with the game. Those should be the ones with no issues and I should not have to buy a second controller to get the line ups to work like they did last yea

So don't tell me to play something else. Don't tell me to use modied rosters to get over the issues.

I don't tell you to hate the game or love the game

I am not insulting scea or being unreseonable with my dissapointment. Stop trying to tell people that we are making to much of a deal just cuz u feel that way...

I am around 10 games in and replays have worked EVERY time including in-game replays of guys hitting HRs.

I have had some really high scoring games, some low ones, and have been in and out of the bullpen using both the up directional pad and by pressing start.

FYI: I have a launch PS3 and got the patch right away when it came out in the AM that day. After I got the patch, I tried it out and it wasn't working the way I thought it would concerning CPU roster control so on a whim I deleted all my MLB files and I put the game in, it reinstalled the patch first (I was connected to the internet), and then installed the game again to the HDD. I then went on Sports connect and got the SCEA 4/27 roster file. I then started a franchise with a SCEA 4/27 roster I edited myself for the Cubs. I have started multiple franchises with that roster and haven't had problems (replays, freezing) either when playing them.

It's like you keep harping on these same things instead of doing what you can to overcome the little issues. If you would give Knights roster a chance, you would be very happy.....believe me!!

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with this statement. Whether you love the game or not, there has to be recognition of what a sim is. You can without a doubt claim that MLB 09 features the best GAMEPLAY ever in a baseball game. But having lineups where Todd Helton leads off and David Ortiz plays 1st base over Kevin Youkilis really dampers the "sim" aspect of the game.

Also, if we're at a point where we're pointing to fixes created by community members as the only viable way to enjoy this game, I'd suggest that SCEA pay Knight and Doc commission for figuring out how to make something work that even their programmers couldn't crack.

Ok, i got my first crash in franchise! April 16th, 2010....Game crashes every time I try to go to this date. It is a pre-patch franchise.

There is no secrecy I post when I have updates if I don't have updates I don't post. I try to stay around the boards as much as possible, but I can't be everywhere at the same time. It also makes it that much harder when threads get off track or cluttered with pointless posts.

Trust me if it gets posted I see it if there is a problem its taken to the part of the team that can do something about it.

I only deal in absolutes the last thing I want to do is say we are going to do something and then we don't for what ever reason.
