Pardon my ignorance here, so every RTTS started pre patch will need to be restarted even if said RTTS never crashed ?? Just looking for clarification is all.

Look for the guy in AAA with 11 years of MLB experience you cannot edit his name but it's Millar.

Jim we have all confirmed this as i think it only addressed the hu controlling cpu stealing !
So once again you can still steal , hit and run with L2 or other controls with auto baserunning On after the patch honest

Guys you are going to love this.....POST PATCH....we can now make off balance trades with the cpu during the middle of the season!!!

I was messing around and offered three players for 1 cpu accepted and took them...then released players that it no longer wanted after....tried another team same thing....

I wonder if the cpu will do off balance trades with each other as well now??

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.

I tried this work around using the Helton example and CPU Roster control ON. I purposely chose to be a different team than Colorado to make sure it wasn't just working for the team I'm controlling. I set Helton to bat 3rd in all 4 Rockies' lineups via the CPU Roster Control screen. It seemed to work fine at first but it didn't stick. I kept simming a week at a time and checking the box scores for the Rockies games and Helton stayed batting 3rd for a while, but eventually when I kept simming deeper into the schedule and I checked the box scores, Helton was regularly batting lead off again. I'm not exactly sure how far into the season it was, but I'm pretty sure it was past the All-Star break (I plan to try this again later tonight). So it would appear that this work around doesn't stick, nor does the fix from the patch work as Russell described

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. Ruffy

Actually Ruffy, stuff like this does need to be posted because guess what, I'm in my 6th season of my RTTS and I have never had a crash - not once, not for any reason; I kid you not.

Well take a wild guess what just happened - my RTTS is now crashing, in the schedule screen.

For those that actually care, and want to do more than kiss ***, this is what is happening. I go into schedule, and "Sim to next appearance." I play the game, noticing it skipped a day in the schedule and assumed I had a day off (which rarely happens). I play a game (a good game at that with a HR and 2B), and after I'm done I go back to the schedule screen.

Low and behold, that game that it skipped - the one that I assumed I had a day off for, wasn't actually simmed. It passed over the day, went to the next game but that game didn't have a score or a box score or anything. So I'm sitting here looking at it and thinking what the hell does this mean, when my PS restarts.

5 trys later and using several different saves, I realize nothing is going to work. So, I think what the other poster posted needs to be here, since this is a PATCH IMPRESSIONS thread, is it not?? He is not impressed with it, since all of the sudden there is a new issue and neither am I.

Some people on these boards feel the need to jump down any posters throat who doesn't praise SCEA and it's really not necessary. I'll be the first to agree that many people who post on these boards are unneedingly rude and beligerrent, but really, something like this is kind of a big deal.
