I understand your concern. No, I don't think so because 4/20 is fine after today's update. The historical stat glitch is gone in my opinion (I tested them extensively this morning) from the 4/20 and 4/27 update and Russell_SCEA confirmed this.

Really? Turn on Roster Control in the franchise set up role, then go to your franchise, sim or play through spring training. Then once you get to the regular season, go to the "CPU Roster Control" section and edit any/all lineups. They should stick. I just did it.

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

I have no idea. I don't know if those rosters contain the lineup glitch or the historical stat glitch. Mine do not.

Some guys asked if I'd post it so I did.

well, no, otherwise the 4/20 rosters would have the stat glitch when the 4/27 update was released...

I haven't downloaded the patch yet and I'm using Knights OSFM v2 rosters. I don't care about the stats glitch since I'm only playing 1 season. Will his rosters still work if I download the patch? Again, I don't care about the stats glitch -- I just want a realistic game for a season.

What about the lineups? Will Knight's tweaked roster (OSFM v2) still fix the flawed CPU lineup error?

Thanks in advance!!

It would only be the lineup fix since players have been added by SCEA since then. Plus, Knight didn't have many minor leaguers done at the time of that release.

I think I am going to edit the 4/27 rosters for my Cubs, Red Sox, Twins and Indians, if I don't just use one of Knights.

You're all good then. I started a franchise with them and simmed today, and it didn't crash on me. Simmed two months.

Man, not to be too negative here, this whole process has been very frustrating. Some stuff they said is fixed isnt, some stuff that isnt fixed, now works differently.

Very aggravating not being able to fix some stuff or go thorugh an easy process. I want to play with the right rosters, with the right lineups but still have injuries and CPU trades. Only way i can do that is to use rosters that have line up fix. WIthout Knight's rosters, its impossible (or close to it).

If i want the right stats, or if i want to use stock SCEA edits and have minor leaguers, i have to turn on roster control and miss out on injuries and trades.........

Very disappointed. But i guess the game itself plays well, its just the window dressing stuff that is messed up. For some of us, its important.
