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.

Maybe it's just me but idc a hill of beans about the historical stat glitch.

Anyways, the CPU roster control lineup glitch was supposedly fixed...but it's not. What's your take, Mr. Ramone?

Thanks for your response, brotha

# 123 countryboy @ 04/27/09 07:48 PM

EDIT: These rosters are using Knights fix for the lineup issue and a workaround that was used to fix the historical stats glitch. These rosters using the 3/7 roster update.

It also DOES NOT have all the FA roster moves(Pudge is still a FA and Sheff is still on Tigers) nor any real minor leaguers except for the Cards and a sprinkle of others, but you can make those moves prior to starting a franchise or add in the minor leaguers as you see fit.

If this doesn't work, please let me know.

In that regard, there's no point in having them on the RV (and they might not even be usable from the RV with whatever coding the new glitchless rosters use). If we're at a point where old rosters break the game, there is a MUCH larger problem at hand, lol.

Ok, maybe Im getting myself confused but the way I saw it was that Knights rosters would no longer work with the game coupled with the patch and therefor I was either going to be stuck playing the game without the patch using his roster or not using his roster but having the patch, is this not correct then? If its just the stat glitch, which I would assume is the career stat glitch thats been mentioned consistently, then Im fine as using the workaround that was posted somewhere deep in the roster sub-forum I have career stats anyways but at the same time Im not using the full minors as I started awhile ago with his initial roster release.

# 126 GiantKing @ 04/27/09 07:50 PM

I just tried the to lead off and steal when auto baserunning is on and I was able to do so as the user. I tried to do so when the CPU had baserunners and nothing happened. Now I know Russell's list stated that L1 or L2 would not work if you or the CPU had baserunners on, however, the message on SportsConnect said it that it would not work if the CPU had baserunners but nothing about the user. That could have been just less detailed but for those of you that thought that you could no longer be able to steal when using auto baserunning, I just tried several times and it worked every time.

Edit: This also worked for dorismary, so either they meant to fix this and did not or it was misstated in the list of the actual fix.

Sorry, haven't read the entire thread but does this fix the glitch where your RTTS player won't come to the plate for training, when doing the batting pratice drill? Or is there a fix for that? I've posted this in both the glitch thread and the RTTS thread will out much help. It worked fine for my first two months of the season and now everytime I enter the training, my player never shows up in the box.

Well I havent checked yet because I have to do a few things for Noahs fantasy baseball league first but when I read that they took this feature out I assumed that they did exactly what they stated they did. If in the end its still there and I can still use it then thats perfect for me and I have nothing to complain about. You cant fault someone for seeing a list of changes and complaining about something like this prior to checking as generally you assume they did everything that they posted they did.

# 130 BigWilly @ 04/27/09 07:53 PM

I've read a number of pages, but not this full thread. I've seen a reference to this patch actually causing a crashing/freezing of a franchise? Can someone confirm if this is the case, or an isolated incident? The benefit from the patch (based on what I gather) just isn't worth the risk to my franchise/season if this is true.

this is Knights rosters using the SCEA update from 3/7 or 3/8. I then used the workaround at the time to cure the historical stats glitch.

This is what I've been using and haven't had any issues with the lineups or whatnot. There are no real minor leaguers in this update, except for the Cards and a sprinkle of others.

I would assume that if this was a solution then not only would Russell state this but he wouldnt mention anything about Knight having to re-do them nor would Knight be saying how it sucked. All signs on my end point to the rosters being in some sort of "incompatible" position and not being able to be used thanks to something being changed within the way the game utilizes the roster feature. If thats correct and those that are experiencing crashes are using custom rosters from before then maybe this "incompatible" or "contaminated" roster issue is causing it. In the end Im just speculating but it all makes sense to me atleast.

I believe he's using the term "contaminated" to solely describe the "stat glitch", nothing else.

# 133 SCInternacional @ 04/27/09 07:55 PM

What about the ONLINE DISCONECT TRAFFIC DELAY ISSUE....did they resolve this? The Patch explanation doesnt clarify if they patched this or only attempted to. Sounds vague!

Exactly, The Chef is reading waay too much into his statement. Chef, that's why he put "contaminated" in quotes, lol.

I started a franchise today no problem, and it didn't freeze when I simmed. Granted, I did not play a game, but it's fine I tell ya. You just won't have correct historical stats with Knights or Ridins.

Thanks, thats what its starting to sound like to me as well, I just wish they would take a little more time to fully explain things instead of leaving some things up for debate as it would go a long ways to solving some of the questions posed in this thread so far.

Thanks for testing it. In the end, if you dont have the patch you cant play online correct? Are there any other things that I cant do if I dont download the patch? I dont play online at all so not having it makes no difference to me and hearing people mentioning their game crashing leaves me rather hesitant to download it at this point.

The Roster Control is not working 100%. What you can do though is start a franchise, turn on roster control, then after spring training, then you set all the lineups. If you set the lineups in spring training or in the main menu (before franchise), they will not stick.

If this is true, will someone confirm this. I don't care about the linup/stat glich as i can figure it out, but if these rosters will be also missing the elements neccecery for the fixes that were done, then it is truly "contaminated".

Tried it - didn't work. Playing as Atlanta, I simmed thru Spring Training and before my 1st game of the regular season I messed w/Philly's lineup and put the pitcher hitting 1st, Howard 2nd and so forth...When I started the game it went back to the CPU lineup logic thingy.

Lol, glad to hear it as I can come back in from the ledge I guess. I just kept seeing my 40 game franchise crashing on me, in my mind of course, so I had a little bit of a panic moment. In terms of the historical stats issue, I dont have it as I used the workaround posted with the very first roster Knight posted and everything has been fine since. Apologies, I just kept seeing the word contaminated and figured his roster was no longer compatible with the game due to some change on their end and if that was the case then I was nervous that its what was causing franchises to crash. Like I said, thanks for the clarification, not sure why Russell couldnt be more specific about things instead of being so vague about things but atleast things have been explained better by you guys here.

Yes, there you go The Chef, and RudyJuly, Brunnoce and Doris Mary. You guys are still OK.
