Amazing!

And you can progress. Not like the game freezes.

Some people like to simulate past the first year and start in year two. Everyone approaches it differently.

And yes, you technically can progress, but I think the point was simply that if you are the type to sim a lot, and want to be able to progress with everything working as advertised, you need to hold off unto the patch is out. I'd imagine it won't be long until it's out though.

Don't the problems hit in year 3 though?

Well, I think it depends on which problems we're talking about. My understanding is that the FA issue is year 3, but the issues with guys not getting arbitration happens in the first off season, so if you're a single team franchise guy, you're stuck with that if you don't wait it out.

I play 30 team and am anal about roster stuff, so not only do I not run into a lot of these issues (since I'm so hands on), but I couldn't get to the off season this fast if I tried...lol. I can understand the frustration of those who are in a holding pattern though.

You can progress past the 1st year in franchise only if you're using 30 team control and you put the offseason stuff on Manual. If you're not, don't bother as the offseason game AI is really bad until we get that patch. RTTS is even worse. You can't go past the 1st year because the Game AI makes really bad trades, there's no interaction to remove yourself from the trade block, and more often than not the team lets key players at the end of contract enter FA. I had 1 RTTS where after my 500K contract was up in AAA, the team offered me a 1 year 10,000,000 deal!You definitely want to wait for that patch past tthe 1st year.

Just wait until the patch comes out.

I don't see why everyone acts like waiting a month or two is going to matter that much. We all know you will probably restart the franchise at some point in time anyway so just start a franchise with the expectation that you will restart when the new patch comes out.

This franchise killing glitch happened in '10 too with too many A-potential players and then the run scoring issue. You ought to be used to this type of thing by now. Yeah we know it sucks and it's not cool, but the game is still playable atm as is franchise mode.

Personally- despite what they say, I'm still holding out until the patch drops to be 100 sure. Then I'll have the best OS rosters with pitch edits and equipment changes, plus I can see who I need to adjust etc.

And don't get it twisted I'm not the one to blanket defend developers of ANY GAME regardless of their track record, but this issue it nothing

Can't wait for these to come out...I like to simulate around 5-7 years into the future so that the rookie I draft in year 1 is in the prime of his career, and hopefully in the MVP race. Only thing is though is that EVERYONE is like 90+ rated, and half the league is rated 99, and there are LOTS of 90+ FAs. And I might just stick to SCEA's rosters as well. Knight's rosters are GREAT, but people overrate their favorite teams, especially like Bryce Harper and Jacob Turner.

That's not what I meant and you know it.
