[green94]

I just went through the White Sox schedule and it is still wrong. Did they only fix the NL teams?

And by then, what's the point? In the end, you do the best you can with what you have. In my humble opinion, guys like Knight, Ridin, and Wookie (there you go man) saved this game. SCEA are the ones who dropped the ball.

Exactly, and what would waiting accomplish anyways? Say Knight waits, he would still be 3 weeks in when this was released and would still have to start over if he wanted the historical stats anyways. SCEA really dropped the ball with this, not the roster makers, and its completely unfortunate to say the least.

I even uploaded a version of his and downloaded just to see if the career stats would resort- they didn't.

I'll tell you what...I just looked at all the different updates from SCEA and the one I picked(second update) was the "perfect" one for what I wanted to accomplish.
It has the most editable players(there is just ONE fake dev player in the whole set on ONE team) ...and good amount of A potential guys(other than CAPS).
I just considered using the latest update and redoing everything...but there are simply not enough guys editable on that set for me to warrant doing it. Weighing the stat glitch vs. what I know needs to be done for the roster to be correct for FullMinors....it's just not there.
So it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
Guys are going to grab the latest update....do their edits/creations and that is great. Very nice work and exactly what some guys might be looking for. It's just not the right fit for me(not their work....the "base set" I would have to use from SCEA right now)

M.K.

Russell said they fixed the NLW,ALW, and Cubs. The West coast teams played almost 90% road day games. I don't think they corrected every team to be exact unfortunately

Guess loyaty/ego always wins out versus common sense here. On any count though, for any roster makers out there my roster is a phenominal set to use for franchise. If you wan the fully fledged out minors (which I have already did everyhting for the top 20 prospects minors on each team) then just take it, finish it, then repost it. Simple! Thats wookie tellin you

Wookie, you have posted this multiple times including in one of my threads, so I feel you need a response You seem really bothered that no one is using your rosters.

There have been several posters here that say your historical stats are messed up too, workaround or no workaround. Commissioner HBK is one I remember, oh and Dave_sz to name a few. I personally have not checked. You probably think they are OK because you started a franchise with them. So of course they will be OK for you. Sorry, I think you are mistaken when you say you do not have the historical stat glitch. Can someone independently confirm this? Maybe you don't have it, but everyone else will. Once again, if they saved a franchise with yours early on (before SCEA released the fist online rosters) or maybe if they never got on sports connect at all, then they won't have the stat glitch.

Russell_SCEA replied to my post and said that all rosters except SCEA 4/20 and SCEA 4/27 (and any roster edits made with those which doesn't include yours) are the ONLY ones that won't have the stat glitch. This is also what I have seen so far. How can yours be excluded? What did you do that no one else did (serious question)? Did you never get on Sports Connect possibly?

Also, lastly, your players and pitchers are no longer stock (meaning you edited their attributes) correct?
Some people just aren't interested in edited rosters (unless they are aware of the quality, like Knights) (By the way, I am not judging your rosters, since I have not seen them. They may be great, so please don't take offense). Some people just want SCEA players, and then people that are missing.

Chef, if you don't go online for any reason, I wouldn't download the patch since you are 40 games into your franchise. That's a lot of games to replay.
I have waited to start a real franchise, and I am glad I did. I had a bad feeling starting over may be required, which I am going to do. All previous franchises will be deleted for me now.

If you do feel like you need the patch, I would start a new franchise. Sucks, brotha.
