What does being gay have to do with anything?

No i ment it was homo that that happened.

Also your starters seem to get really tired real quick, Beckett only went 5 innings and was fully out of energy.

# 203 coreyhartsdaughter @ 04/27/09 10:16 PM

Check swings on breaking stuff seem greatly improved in offline play.

Holy heck what would you guys do in a real emergency!! I can't believe I actually feel bad like somehow all this added pressure on SCEA is caused by me. I cannot however start these rosters over again just to rid them of the stat glitch. Just can't do it. Sorry. M.K. Knight165

I understand that now but you have to understand that Russell came out and labeled them as contaminated and I took him literally and started thinking that the pre-patch rosters were dead and gone. Then I started reading replies saying that their franchises were crashing and the theme was that people were using pre-patch rosters either from you or ridin so that added to it. At no point did Russell clarify or explain so it was left up to interpretation and thats what I did but at the same time I asked questions trying to get clarification and now that I have Im not nearly as worried as I was previously.

I dont expect you to redo the rosters, hell Im using the very first rosters you released because I was so impatient, so dont think Im asking, expecting or assuming you are going to. In the end you didnt put any pressure on SCEA, they put it on themselves for having these problems in the game in the first place, you had nothing to do with it. This is a great game, and most of the glitches that were fixed didnt even bother me anyways, so dont take my comment the wrong way and assume Im bagging on SCEA because I dislike them or the game as that isnt the case at all.

Which will default the lineup if you want to play with your edited lineup you must use the two controller work around.

So I take it that there was no "real" way to fix the CPU roster issue because I don't remember this being an issue last year?

Well for me it was because it states for auto baserunning, which...

A. Auto Baserunning for the CPU seems like the only option, I dont make baserunning decisions for the CPU ever.

B. If its talking about Auto for us then that is controlled by the CPU to a degree since Im not controlling it so thats where the mention of CPU somewhat dirties the water a little.

In the end if it works then it works but since you posed the question I wanted to take a moment to answer why I came to the conclusion I came to atleast.

This has always been a problem, in my opinion. I play in MO mode, and the stamina trend that I see in this mode is that no starter will ever pitch into the 8th inning, and rarely into the 7th. It's just not possible. Volquez was almost out of energy at 80 pitches. Something is not right about starter stamina. Therefore, it's my opinion that the stamina slider needs to be increased several clicks, though you will not find many, if any, slider sets that include this adjustment. To each his own I guess, but my top 2 or 3 guys should be able to pitch 110 pitches if they are pitching well. At least in MO mode, this will never happen.

Who are you talking to exactly? Do the rosters yourself if it isnt going to take that long as you put it.

Chef...I know I quoted your post...but believe me, I was speaking VERY generally.
Sorry about that.

Take this as a lesson roster folks, that you never create rosters until the opening day update releases.

Better safe than sorry

Sure, but I wasn't even thinking about you Chef.

It could have been explained better, but its all good.

Honestly, I think its because of the "auto-fix" of the rosters that was incorporated into the game this year. It must have gotten to be too in depth and complicated to fix easily.

# 217 sal_cucchiara123 @ 04/27/09 11:12 PM

I haven't been able to find a definitive answer, but do we need to re start our franchise in order for the patch to be in full effect? Thanks in advance.

# 218 The Chef @ 04/27/09 11:13 PM

I gotta tell you guys, today has been a very dissapointing day. Im roughly 40 games into my franchise and Im at the point now where it sounds like Im basically going to be picking between a franchise and avoiding the new patch, which I REALLY want to be able to utilize the uneven trades (ie. 2 for 1, 3 for 1 etc) that are now possible, or having to start over so I can use the uneven trades feature that was patched in. Im the type of gamer that just cant stand repetition so having to play 40 games over doesnt sound like fun at all and Im not the type to simulate so thats not an option either, so where does that leave me in the end? Im stuck with a tough call. In a very selfish way I really wish they wouldnt have touched anything to do with the rosters.

If you wan the fully fledged out minors (which I have already did everyhting for the top 20 prospects minors on each team) then just take it, finish it, then repost it. Simple! Thats wookie tellin you

I must be out of the loop but what exactly are you talking about? Arent your rosters from before the patch as well as everyone elses? If so then isnt it in the same boat as everyone elses as well? Im confused, I feel like Im walking in on a conversation in the middle of it with no clue as to what was said previously.
