Users should no longer get stuck after multiple recordings. Players names not being called correctly in the audio. One specific item was Beltran being called Delgado and vice versa. This line used to be erroneously said for Juan Rivera. It has now been corrected to play for Casey Kotchman. This line used to be erroneously said for David Ortiz. This line used to be erroneously said for Miguel Cabrera. It has now been "disabled". Career stats after going online and using weekly online Live Rosters or using the Online Roster Vault should now be correct. Fixed issues with unbalanced trades when the rosters were full. 3 for 1 trades that will result in people being placed on waivers should now function. Fix the problem in RTTS as the pitcher when a baserunner from 1st steals, the camera would sometimes swing around thru the crowd. Fix switch hitter sub presentations using the wrong helmet sometimes.

It seems the more people try to get things as they are in real life the more hoop jumping they have to do to get there, only to realize they're jumping through that hoop and into a puddle of mud.

Not everyone plays with CPU Roster control on.

That bolded part is probably true, lol. But, my CPU roste control ON workaround isn't too bad once you redo all the lineups after simming/ending spring training

, then use a 2nd controller (which isn't too big of a pain unless you don't have one).

with CPU roster control OFF, I think people should just accept the CPU will do what it wants even if it is leading off Todd Helton (in that case edit him or use Knight's lineup fix rosters).

Or, they tested it with spring training games possibly? The lineups get jumbled after spring training when you sim or just end it. I am not sure what happens if you just play them. I am also not sure if the lineups stick with CPU roster control ON for spring training. I will look tonight when I get home. Either way, QA was not very detail oriented if they thought it was fixed.

Exactly, Doc. Everyone has been requesting more clarification as well from the devs and there's nothing...these guys set the bar high w/regard to community involvement so it's a bit quiry.

As of now yes. Some people don't like the attribute changes to guys like Grady Sizemore (had to lower power to get him to lead off, I think), Soriano. But, I think it is the best option for CPU roster control OFF guys right now that can live with the stat glitch.

Hopefully, when he reloads his rosters to the vault, they will be glitch free, but I am not holding my breath on that one.

I PMed Russell and I will let you guys know if he replies about the CPU roster control lineup issue and the historical stats questions if I am able to do so.

I'm honestly not trying to be critical when I say that, but that shouldn't have gotten through if they thought it was a fix as listed in the patch details.

I am almost hoping they will say, "oops we loaded up the wrong patch".

# 26 CRIP4LIFE @ 04/27/09 05:45 PM

i assume the answer to this is yes, and please pardon me if this was asked/answered already... but:

what if i begin a fantasy draft franchise, will the roster line-up logic "glitch" place obvious lead-off type hitters late in the line-up or power hitters leading off? (ie., will helton still be leading off on his new team?)

# 27 scooteristkai @ 04/27/09 05:45 PM

Nobody answering from the devs makes me believe that they accidentally put out a patch that doesn�t really solve what they wanted it to solve.

That�s only from reading the list and you guys� comments.

The DL problem is still there? Amazing

Either way, it's embarrassing. What would you rather have: a screwed up QA process or screwed up release/patch management? Tough one.

Agree. I'm surprised this wasn't addressed.

But if it can get you what you are wanting, then why not?? Just asking!! I mean, if you want accurate lineups, Knight's give you that. I know a lot of people think lowering, for example, Soriano's power will make him hit less HR's, but it's not so. I simmed 3 seasons and he hit over 30 in each year. Do what you want....I'm just trying to let you know that his work pretty damn good.

Is there a workaround? I don't know of a way to work with this, if you get too many injuries you are screwed.

Who claimed they spent a month solely working on a patch? It's nice that they put out the patch but compared to other games, they really didn't have to do it. I'm sure their focus is on MLB 2010 right now so anything we get that fixes non-gamebreaking bugs is a bonus. Some of you act like the producers have an obligation to answer your questions immediately.

SCEA roster 4/20 did not this time, so I believe the career stat glitch is gone on those rosters. I have checked many players and have yet to find a problem with these 2 rosters and any players on them. Knights, Ridins, and anyones rosters before 4/20 will have the career stat glitch still if they are on your HDD. I am not sure what will happen when those guys reload their rosters into the vault (which was cleared). I suspect the career stat glitch will still be there, but who knows.

Well, I just downloaded one of the two rosters in the Roster Vault currently, and it looks like it is an update of Ridin's or Knights rosters (not sure which it was called Updated Roster!!!) and it DID NOT have the career stat glitch as far as I can tell. I checked AROD and his stats were correct.

So, maybe re-uploading these roster files to the vault will fix that problem.

I haven't been able to log into sportsconnect for about an hour now. I get a message "This account is already logged in. Please try again later." Then a second message saying "Failed to log in."
Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about Roster Control On.
