Does this mean no trades will occur or just that I will be notified about any trades or waiver signings before they happen? Thanks, Brian

that is just during spring while setting up franchise, once season begins you can move to manual

You might be right. I still like their lineup though.

It won't. Progression happens during the season.

I started to ...and then just set up my 2nd PS3 and changed it from there team by team.(I still made some mistakes...as I had to re-adjust a few lineups.) Sorry.
That's a lot of writing.

I think you have this backwards. You meant to say Auto in the other 29 team profile, but Manual during ST (Do teams trade during ST?) If you set to Manual in the profile associated with the other 29 teams, trades will not be offered between the other teams.

There is still a 3 day trade window (versus 'Immediately'), an option you can choose when you begin a Franchise . This means that if you see a trade accepted amongst other teams, (that seems unrealistic) you can just go in and cancel it with the 3 days.

You do however want Manual in the profile controlling your main team.

1. First would be to make sure your profile user settings and a second created CPU profile have Injuries set to manual. Set-up CPU profile to be default.
2. Mode Options have your profile set to manual/auto on the GM duties you want/don't want to handle.
3. Now Mode Options for CPU created profile would have to be auto for all GM duties along with lineups/rotations, 40-man roster, roster moves, waivers, trades and free agency.
4. Now select a "new" franchise and load a saved roster
5. Press "Square" to control all 30 teams, but having your main team your profile and the other 29 teams the CPU created profile.
6. Next a screen with all kinds of options... fantasy draft, CPU ROSTER CONTROL, etc. Now make sure the CPU ROSTER CONTROL IS OFF
7. End spring training.
8. Now first day of the regular season, for all teams adjust 40 man roster, basically add the 15 players that were removed (https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=19H-...ut=list&num=50)
9. After players added to 40 man roster next would be to DL those injured players
10. Save once more, but create a new file. I always do this just in case any objectives are missed
11. View today's games and sim all games, but your own in order for out-of-town scoreboard to work correctly. I would also suggest creating a CPU slider set with injury slider set @ 1 other wise simulated games will have a lot of injuries.
12. Re-load your slider set and play your game.

Cool, thanks for the help. So basically I just need to keep lineups as manual for the CPU and I can put everything else at auto without any problems? What about 40 man roster, should I leave this as manual as well?

Thanks again.

Going through all this to get things set up, but aren't there going to be issues at the start of next season with lineups?

If I decide to control one team, and really just care about that one team, are things going to go weird on me? I know the CPU's rosters and lineups will change, but any other things to worry about.

I think some of the confusion is how to make this a simple franchise to play, to me it's a game, and I spend so much time making it realistic, that it takes the fun of the game away.

No. You're going to want at least injuries to manual (this is the notifications, NOT the option if they happen) too.

This is required to make DL assessments / assignments, as well as decide decide what to do with a player after he is no longer injured (the move to bench or auto-fix) message.

Here's what I run on the second profile:

Lineups/Rotations: Manual
40 Man: Manual
Roster Moves: Manual
Waivers: Auto
Injury Management: Manual

Everything else for the CPU teams is Auto.

Like I said, with manual you can still say 'auto-fix' if it won't screw something up (like a lineup or injury at AA), but if Jon Lester is injured for a few days, you'll want to know when he's healthy so that you can re-order that pitching rotation.
