That is what I meant as I pm Mk about this 4 months ago .
But its a time thing
I wonder if SCEA could release one like week 2 again ?

I just got done with a game. I went to the replay vault and there were no players on the field during the replay!?! Anyone else?

Once your rosters are re-loaded into the vault will the career stat glitch be gone? I've been trying to keep up all day but it's impossible. I apologize if this has been answered.

Russell. May I please have a reply to this message. I put this in the bug thread and some other thread, but I have never received an acknowledgment that it was read. I was hoping the patch would fix this, but it has not.

May I please have an acknowledgment that this bug report is at least documented, so that the next patch can possibly fix it?

What game mode did the bug happen in?
Online (offline works fine)

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?
When I attempt to hit & run, my batter will not swing at the ball. Sometimes, the animation of the swing will happen, but the ball will never be hit. If the pitch is a strike, the announcer will say that is was a called strike, and the slo-mo replay will show that the bat never left my shoulders. This is true even if I power swing (meaning it wasn't just a check swing).

This makes it impossible to hit & run, and very dangerous to steal with two strikes, as I won't be able to swing should the pitch come flying through the zone. This also makes it dangerous to send the runners with 2 outs and a full count, which is standard practice in baseball.
I have had many instances where I swung at ball four, but found myself trotting down to first base. Also, as I was trying to swing at a pitch while stealing, only to miss even though it was right down the middle, I would have to hear Matt say that it was a "called strike three".

How often can the bug be reproduced?
99.9% of the time.

I understand the thought behind it, but for me it's always caused more harm than good. I like to emulate the real lineups before each game. I usually set them up the following day after the real games have been played (yeah it's fanatical, I don't deny it). It's such a pain to have all my efforts thwarted by some bogus cpu logic and to constantly get that message about the coach thinks "so and so" could use a day off, I'll rest them when the real guys rest. On top of that it causes all these other unnecessary problems (RBI men leading off, the DH always being exhausted, etc...just silly). Same goes for the pitcher confidence stuff, it's way overdone IMO. Leave it in the game for those who want it but I'm begging SCEA to please give us the option of turning this stuff OFF already and let us play our games the way we want to.

That's exactly what I do. I'm behind the season now anyway, and at the pace I play (and with also playing Red Sox and Twins franchise), I won't get caught up. I use struts thread to do the daily transactions. At least I found a workaround. It's a pain, but it'll do. Also a good thing I happen to have 2 controllers (2 sixaxis and 1 dualshock actually).

I'm not MK, but the answer is no unfortunately.

No problem. Thanks for the fast response. I plan on playing one entire season so the career stats won't bother me much. I think it's time to load Knight's rosters, download the patch, start a franchise, and enjoy this game...

Anyone know if the workaround for retirements still works? (where you save and keep renetering offseason until you get the configuration you want, as it's randomized).

I forgot to check when I was simming, but A-Rod retired after one season due to "poor FA market"...lol. If nobody is sure, it's no biggie. I'll figure it out when I test run again tomorrow. Poor A-Rod can't catch a break in this game...lol

Anyway, just curious.
