Once again...it is NOT the roster...it is your franchise save.

Brunnoce,

I think patch 1.01 addressed online issues if I remember correctly.

Edit: This is all I could find about Patch 1.01 from one of the SCEA guys Russell_SCEA I think:
"Re: 1.01 patch..what does this do?

This patch was made to fix issues we found before the game shipped. I'll see if I can get a list of what it fixed, but I wouldn't count on it."

No list then was ever posted that I could find. There was speculation about the ticker and some people mentioned check swings (may have been placebo effect?)

If someone did not download the newest patch (1.06) yet, but have the other patch (1.01), then possibly they could put the Game Data Utility information on a USB drive, zip it, and post it so that you could get patch 1.01 back. It is around 2604 MB.

What I usually do on the Xbox 360 is use the xport to save the title updates (patches) on my computer. That way, if I don't like the new patch, I can put the old one back on (of course you can't play online then on the 360). I considered saving that PS3 game data utility information yesterday, but did not, and upgraded to the patch already.
Having said that, I haven't had too many problems except my PS3 did reboot a couple of times last night when I was looking at rosters. I shut it down completely, and then did not have the problem again at all.

For those people that have already downloaded the patch and are having problems (other than franchise freezes with existing franchises) this is what I would do: Delete your GAME data utility (don't delete SAVE data utility or you will lose your saves like rosters) by selecting it and pressing the triangle, then choose delete. You then can reinstall the patch (if you want it, if not you will go back to the out of the box version, but remember there was another version 1.01 that had some fixes, I think mostly online, you'll have to look back and check) and the game to your HDD when you put the game disc in.
I actually did this yesterday, but I did it because I was hoping that is why the patch wasn't "working" (I was trying everything, lol) (CPU lineups, etc.). Maybe that is why I am not seeing some of the problems (crashes, videos not working, EDIT: I haven't actually looked about the replays, so I'm not sure about it yet) some people are reporting

. Just a thought, it probably won't make a difference though, but may be worth a shot in the meantime for some.

Do you think there will be a patch to fix this patch?

This is blatantly incorrect.

It has nothing to do with R2. This is what is happening in my RTTS:

I played a game Sunday night and it was the first game of a series against Seattle (I'm on the Padres). After the game, I saved and quit.

Monday I fire up the game and install the patch and I go into my RTTS and "Sim to next Appearance". I played a game and went back to the schedule screen. It was then that I noticed that the game I had played Sunday night, didn't have a score on the schedule. I try to scroll over using the left stick or the dpad and when my cursor went over the game, the system crashed.

I tried this at least 6 times with the same results everytime. I also tried using older save files (I have about 20 of them) and all the ones I tried were corrupted.

It has nothing to do with R2 and to answer a previous poster, yes I was able to play a game prior to the crash. I uninstalled the patch, reinstalled the game and it works fine now - just without patch 1.01 which as far as most people can tell, didn't do a whole lot anyway.

It looks like any type of mode save is not working with the patch(sorry to be Capt. Obvious

) which I fully understand blows...but at least it's the fun part you get to do over starting from scratch!

Fist read my post about how to delete the Game data utility information just a few posts back, and try that. It may help. Don't delete your save data utility info or you will lose all your saves.
You will just have to redownload the patch and game to your hdd. Worth a shot, imo.

But we have CPU Roster Control ON. Which means we should control the CPU Roster. That game time decision stuff should just be turned off when we have CPU Roster Control On. I thought that's what the patch would fix.

I shouldn't have to buy another controller just so I don't get silly lineups. I'm playing the Angels and they have Vlad batting 9th, Abreu batting 6th, and Juan Rivera hitting 3rd. Come on.

I also don't get post game highlights anymore, and I can't use the replay vault. Who tested this patch? Bozo the Clown.

I'm just going to delete this patch, it's causing me more problems than I had before.

Doc--

Will you have to reload your music and re-do your chants too if you delete 1.06 from Game data?

Don't know about chants, but if you delete 1.06, it deletes all your marks in your custom music.

EDIT: Someone else said that it deleted their info for music, so you may not want to do this, sorry.

EDIT: Just want to clarify, that I actually haven't looked to see if my replays are working yet, so it is possible they aren't working. Sometimes I skip through this for time reasons, so they may not be working for me too.

Really? The only thing I deleted was the GAME Data folder, and I had to readd my music to the custom playlist or whatever and I had to readd all of my marks. Maybe I'm just a noob.

Yes, brand new franchise. I downloaded the patch. Downloaded the 4/27 roster set. Moved Marcus Thames up to the parent club as well as Guerero and sent down Rayburn and some other guy. Autocorrected the AAA rosters and then changed the parent club lineups for Tigers and Angels.

Loaded my sliders.

Started a brand new 2 team franchise, Tigers & Brewers.

Simmed Spring Training. Did some facility upgrades.

Played game one - Tigers vs. Blue Jays lost 4-3. Thought it was odd that there were no post game replays, but wanted to get my revenge so I played game 2.

Game 2. Won 10-2 and hit 3 HR's. Again no post game replays, really was looking forward to seeing the hit parade at the end of the game. So I went into replay vault and it showed the Overbay up to the plate with no fielders on the field. He was the last out of the game and it showed him striking out - Kind of. The graphics in the replay vault seriously looked like PS1 graphics. No logos or shine to the helmet.

Very disappointing.

# 294 wilb626 @ 04/28/09 11:36 AM

I am thinking I am going back to 1.0 or hopefully 1.01 if someone can upload it (or if SCEA can re-release it to us). I have done the workaround for the line-up post patch after spring training. And the rosters do "stick" sometimes, but when you go into the box scores of previous games you will see that "Choo" still did lead off over Sizemore even though in the roster lineup he batted 6th as I had him. Also...all of the rotations are out of whack...we never had this problem of having to reset the rotations. HERE IS WHAT I SUGGEST TO SCEA...GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THE LINEUP LOGIC OR HAVE IT DEFAULT ONLY TO CPU LINEUP CONTROL "OFF". It was a nice attempt, but it should be an OPTION only. BTW--did anyone ever complain about this game not having lineup logic in last years game???

OK, then I stand corrected, don't delete that information if that is the case and you want to keep your music. Sorry about that if that is the case.

Blatantly? OK! Well, I don't play RTTS, and many others here don't either. For the ones that don't, when we press R2 to look at the schedules, it would crash to the XMB.

What's the old saying?

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I think sometimes the lineups get reset even with my workaround when guys get fatigued, get benched and then the CPU makes its own "game time decisions". Unfortunately, then you have to put the lineups back the way they were. It is not ideal, but that is why it is a workaround. It is better than no lineup control for me, but certainly not what I wanted out of this game this year.

Last night I simmed through the end of July and at least Helton stayed batting 3rd in ALL the box scores for Colorado in sim games. But, that could vary depending on fatigue, I suspect. You will just have to check after every day simmed, is the only way to combat this.

Anyone else not getting replays? I just skipped past them last night. Man, that would not be good

I haven't read the entire thread, but people that start clean(no prior saved data or game data on their hd) are they experiencing these same problems?
