One more thing: when Russell comes on again, I'd like to know if potential is one of the attributes that can be updated on a weekly basis.

I wouldn't count on it

Hey Russ, glad you are feeling well. Tell all they guys this game rocks!

Color me absolutely pissed, I speculated days upon days ago that the schedule fix was screwing existing franchises up only to be ignored by Russell and avoided like I had the swine flu. Suddenly my fears are confirmed and the solution is to restart, thats the best SCEA as a company can come up with? This has to be the first time Ive EVER heard of people crying about certain aspects of the game, ie. schedule not being perfect, which dont have any impact on the actual ability to play a franchise/season/rtts and actually get their way. So, let me get this straight, in an effort to appease the fans complaining about too many night games for certain teams my franchise is completely screwed if I want to use the patch that was released? Thats acceptable? Seriously, you corrected the schedule so Cubs fans wouldnt be forced to cry themselves to sleep at night at the lack of day games and in turn screwed each and every person who had already started a franchise prior to that, and again, your solution is, too bad so sad but restart all over again?

I gotta tell you, next year Im waiting to buy this game, plain and simple, I feel like Ive been burned and basically told to deal with it in the process. Hell, if the fix that caused all this was a gameplay problem that was effecting so many then I could understand but to fix the schedule for only part of the league anyways and screw up existing franchises in the process seems like one of the dumbest things Ive seen SCEA do in regards to their great baseball title.

I know you're pissed and probably don't want to hear anything except other people being pissed...lol...but...

In theory, couldn't you play out the rest of your first year without the patch, then re-download it prior to the start of year two? The scheduling issue should not be a problem in that regard, I would think, since it's a fresh schedule you haven't played through yet.

Granted, it's not perfect (and doesn't change the fact that some people will feel slighted and all that) as you'd have to either sim past the remainder of year 1 or play it out without the game being patched, but it may be worth it for some if it actually works. Just an idea.

Folks -

I am goingto leave this thread open, but I ask that you choose your words and think twice when posting angry. It does nothing buy clutter this thread.

Thanks guys.

For me I started my chise post patch and only have the replay problem. Lucky me I suppose. But I have to say that it's very hard to argue your comment chef. You bring up very valid points. I'm a bit dissapointed in all this especially for all those who have to start over.
