I thought they fixed this initially, but just as I was about to try out another game along the schedule, the same problem returned.... Forget it, time to make a new RTTS career

I am having this same problem, would rather not have had the patch, i was enjoying my franchise, liked knight's rosters, but now it appears i gots no franchise to move forward with. thats really annoying after the nice start my O's were having 1 game under .500 after May

So if Knight does his roster all over, then the Computer Roster will work?? Is that correct??

Otherwise, we're in the same boat we were before the patch. I'm really disappointed in this game this year. I got burned at the stake the last time I said this, but I can't help but feel let down by my favorite baseball series of all time. I mean, look at the list of glitches alone. That's gotta be the biggest list of bugs I've ever seen. I give them credit if they were actually able to fix all of them. But seriously, maybe testing the game a little more before release would be a better strategy next year. It's already probably going to keep me from buying it day one. I was very critical of people who didn't want to buy the game day one this year in the hope that they could save some money. My argument was that The Show is one of the few games worth $60. But all these glitches have made me eat crow on that one. Considering that several aspects of the game were just made functional today, it makes me wonder how much money I could have saved. I probably could have gotten this during this past weekend's B2G1 sale at Gamestop. The ONLY incentive to buy a game at launch is to be able to enjoy it from the beginning. If companies can't provide a fully working product, that incentive is negated. Before I get thrown down the well, let me say, this is NOT a personal attack on Sony or The Show. I've pretty much decided that with all my sports games. Madden 09 was buggy, NHL 09 had a glitch that made people gods. If these companies continue to release games that need huge fixes to appease their fanbase, then I'll start waiting for the fixes before I buy the game...and save myself $15-20 in the process.

I'm not going to throw you down the well at all. You have the right to your opinion and I agree with you on some of it.

But, it still is a very good game gameplay-wise overall, and still worth it to me that I dropped $60 on it. It is a lot of fun.
It's just a shame because it could have been almost flawless. I am disappointed so far, but I can deal with it, and I will just have to use the CPU roster control lineup workaround unless they come out with another patch.

As for the historical stats, I may just make my Cubs minors using Knights as a template or just roll with his Full Minors/Stock players/stock pitchers rosters he posts using sendspace (since he probably can't put them on the vault anymore.

No, just the historical stats will work then. The CPU roster control on lineup problem is still there. I tested it with 4/27 and 4/20 rosters SCEA and it is there.

But, guys, we can't expect Knight to redo his rosters. He has lost countless hours already.

Just redo the rosters, it won't take that long and it's worth it

Did you not read the part where Knight himself said to go ahead and do it?
