It will only fix the replays.

With how huge this thread is, I doubt this will get seen.

You still can not fire your Farm Director. It now shows you who he is, but cant fire him! I got to the offseason. My Farm Directors contract was expired. I went to hire a new one and it said I had to fire my current one first. I go and fire him even though he doesnt have a contract. It seems to work, it is now listed as empty. I go to hire a new one and get the same message, I go back to the view the coaches and there he is again. You can not get rid of him.

Did you hire a new one yet? It probably will show him as your Farm Director until you hire a new one.

But to each their own I guess.

I play 2nd base on a d/p ball hit to 3rd when the 3rd baseman catch's the ball your man will stop dead in tracks till the ball is thrown to him. This normally happens when a left handed batter is up, cause the 2nd baseman plays a little to the left. The base running issues are relative to the camera if your on first and the ball is hit to right field your pushing right on the stick to go to 2nd when the camera swings around now right is back to 1st. By the time you push left to get to 2nd your thrown out at 2nd.

I haven't seen the first one. I have seen the second one once, and I just adjusted to it. But yes, baserunning setup in RTTS is one of my biggest complaints.

That being said, I don't see anything that would cause me to declare the game broken or unplayable. As I said however, to each their own.

NOOOOOoooooo!

I put this game on the shelf to let these patch problems get taken care of.......but I assumed this specific problem was taken care of with the first patch. Unbelievable. They are going to create another patch to fix the replays, but not address this? The whole franchise mode is broken due to this prolbem. The coach/training part of franchise is crap as it is, but the glitch was just the straw/camels back.

ALSO --- Fix the Ranger's helmets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I can't play with my favorite team because of those ugly helmets..........
