Well, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

I assume that was the case, unless the original Show had a Dodgers/Padres series that was one game too long later in the year.
Too bad they didn't program in provisions for rainouts. Maybe we could have gone back and rescheduled that missed game.

A "mini" patch to fix the patched items that went haywire with the previous patch. It's been quite the week.

And in case you were curious, if you started a franchise or RTTS before the latest patch, and you download the patch, your franchise/RTTS will crash, if you don't want to start over, don't download the patch yet.

That's not necessarily true. My RTTS hasn't crashed, but I'm sure more have crashed than have not.

whomever asked the question about continuing a RTTS or starting a new one, I would start up a new one. It seems that starting fresh and then downloading the patch is the best way to go.

I asked the question, and I have already downloaded the patch. I haven't seen any problems so far with either of my RTTS games, but I suppose it will happen sooner or later.

One more thing: when Russell comes on again, I'd like to know if potential is one of the attributes that can be updated on a weekly basis.

I wouldn't count on it

Color me absolutely pissed, I speculated days upon days ago that the schedule fix was screwing existing franchises up only to be ignored by Russell and avoided like I had the swine flu. Suddenly my fears are confirmed and the solution is to restart, thats the best SCEA as a company can come up with? This has to be the first time Ive EVER heard of people crying about certain aspects of the game, ie. schedule not being perfect, which dont have any impact on the actual ability to play a franchise/season/rtts and actually get their way. So, let me get this straight, in an effort to appease the fans complaining about too many night games for certain teams my franchise is completely screwed if I want to use the patch that was released? Thats acceptable? Seriously, you corrected the schedule so Cubs fans wouldnt be forced to cry themselves to sleep at night at the lack of day games and in turn screwed each and every person who had already started a franchise prior to that, and again, your solution is, too bad so sad but restart all over again?

I gotta tell you, next year Im waiting to buy this game, plain and simple, I feel like Ive been burned and basically told to deal with it in the process. Hell, if the fix that caused all this was a gameplay problem that was effecting so many then I could understand but to fix the schedule for only part of the league anyways and screw up existing franchises in the process seems like one of the dumbest things Ive seen SCEA do in regards to their great baseball title.

I know you're pissed and probably don't want to hear anything except other people being pissed...lol...but...

In theory, couldn't you play out the rest of your first year without the patch, then re-download it prior to the start of year two? The scheduling issue should not be a problem in that regard, I would think, since it's a fresh schedule you haven't played through yet.

Granted, it's not perfect (and doesn't change the fact that some people will feel slighted and all that) as you'd have to either sim past the remainder of year 1 or play it out without the game being patched, but it may be worth it for some if it actually works. Just an idea.

For me I started my chise post patch and only have the replay problem. Lucky me I suppose. But I have to say that it's very hard to argue your comment chef. You bring up very valid points. I'm a bit dissapointed in all this especially for all those who have to start over.
