Here's something I'm wondering. Roster made from the last couple of updates will not have the stat glitch. But will it happen again? Will the new rosters start glitching with some future update?

So, this is what the second thing they "fixed" but actually didnt? They said they "fixed" this auto baserunning issue and its still working, thankfully, and they said they fixed the roster control issue and that wasnt fixed either. So at this point, what did they fix that we the users can actually see for ourselves and identify that it was indeed fixed?

what are the chances of this being fixed in another patch?

Yes, but as per my previous thread and post, you also will have to use the two controller method for games that you actually play to set up the CPU lineups to stick. What you described only works for simmed games.

So does your roster file have any kind of advantage over the stock 4/20 or 4/27 updates?

I understand your concern. No, I don't think so because 4/20 is fine after today's update. The historical stat glitch is gone in my opinion (I tested them extensively this morning) from the 4/20 and 4/27 update and Russell_SCEA confirmed this.

# 147 callmetaternuts @ 04/27/09 08:08 PM

Really? Turn on Roster Control in the franchise set up role, then go to your franchise, sim or play through spring training. Then once you get to the regular season, go to the "CPU Roster Control" section and edit any/all lineups. They should stick. I just did it.

It wont work if you set it in the main menu outside franchise

I have no idea. I don't know if those rosters contain the lineup glitch or the historical stat glitch. Mine do not.

Some guys asked if I'd post it so I did.

well, no, otherwise the 4/20 rosters would have the stat glitch when the 4/27 update was released...

oookies......

I haven't downloaded the patch yet and I'm using Knights OSFM v2 rosters. I don't care about the stats glitch since I'm only playing 1 season. Will his rosters still work if I download the patch? Again, I don't care about the stats glitch -- I just want a realistic game for a season.

What about the lineups? Will Knight's tweaked roster (OSFM v2) still fix the flawed CPU lineup error?

Thanks in advance!!

It would only be the lineup fix since players have been added by SCEA since then. Plus, Knight didn't have many minor leaguers done at the time of that release.

I think I am going to edit the 4/27 rosters for my Cubs, Red Sox, Twins and Indians, if I don't just use one of Knights.

You're all good then. I started a franchise with them and simmed today, and it didn't crash on me. Simmed two months.

# 153 callmetaternuts @ 04/27/09 08:12 PM

Man, not to be too negative here, this whole process has been very frustrating. Some stuff they said is fixed isnt, some stuff that isnt fixed, now works differently.

Very aggravating not being able to fix some stuff or go thorugh an easy process. I want to play with the right rosters, with the right lineups but still have injuries and CPU trades. Only way i can do that is to use rosters that have line up fix. WIthout Knight's rosters, its impossible (or close to it).

If i want the right stats, or if i want to use stock SCEA edits and have minor leaguers, i have to turn on roster control and miss out on injuries and trades.........

Very disappointed. But i guess the game itself plays well, its just the window dressing stuff that is messed up. For some of us, its important.

Yes, the 4/20 and 4/27 rosters have the lineup glitch (its the game). They do NOT have the career stats glitch.
Yours would be a good base for Knight if he wanted to redo his work. (I don't expect him to by the way, and he said he wouldn't, but maybe he doesn't know about yours Country Boy).

# 156 tabarnes19_SDS @ 04/27/09 08:15 PM

I just played a game and used the quick menu and the pitchers stamina was still 100%. That was supposed to be one of the fixes. Can someone else confirm I am using an existing franchise as well?

This works for every team except the one you play, for instance if you control TEX and swap CLEVS order (OD matchup) CLEV will be changed once you start your game. But let's say your team is the YANKS and you fix all teams batting order, then you can see CLEVS it will stay put for their game vs. TEX. CPU ON is working with the exception of YOUR opponent in YOUR Franchise. Weird huh?? Hope this makes sense

# 158 Checmate101 @ 04/27/09 08:18 PM

This line-up glitch is killin gme man...I spent like 2 hours getting line-ups straight today. to find out when I start my game, the line-up get messed up. Boy was I hot

It IS fixed, if you use Sony's rosters after 4/20.

# 160 Bamafan3723 @ 04/27/09 08:20 PM

CountryBoy, tried loading your rosters but it's not showing up as a roster file when I pop my USB into my PS3?
