MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

07:41 PM - March 2, 2010 by Kolbe

Here is our list of the current known issues that we're looking into for immediate attention:

Attendance:
Attendance is not correctly getting reported. In talking with Jeff, he has a fix in mind that is fairly safe but would end up in the actual attendance not mirroring the paid attendance you get in franchise. It would fix the issue where you have 50k+ people attending Spring Training games. This will also fix issues with playoff games and games played in any stadium that isn't your own.
* UPDATE - This was caused by the stadium select screen being added to franchise, causing the attendance to be reset using the non-franchise logic. The stadium select was previously never used for playoff games, so it didn't handle that situation. This is fixed and it also fixes the issue with spring training games showing the attendance as if they were in their home stadium.

Trade Waivers:
Users can claim anyone off of trade waivers - CPU teams will never pull them back.
* UPDATE - fixed this one - a simple fix that will prevent user teams from simply claiming everyone that was passed through trade waivers.

No Contract:
Players can get into a state where they have no contract.
* UPDATE - As soon as a player was placed on release waivers, his contract was cleared. Then if he was claimed, he didn't have a contract. It was also clearing his 40-man roster status, which is what was causing him to go to AAA instead of the MLB team. Have a fix for this.

Player Potential:
Looks like a fairly bad miscommunication ended up with us having some seriously out of whack potentials. This will be corrected with the next roster download (Monday)
* UPDATE - Lorne is taking care of this - will be fixed with a roster update.

Multi Closer issue:
If a CPU team has 2 closers (one acquired in a trade) - they will always send one down to AAA.
* UPDATE - It would just look at the closers and see that they had more than they needed so they'd send one down, but they wouldn't look to see if they could send down a reliever instead and keep the 2nd closer in the bullpen. Have a fix for this.

Multi Trade players:
Not even sure what the details are on this one, but it looks like sometimes a player is traded and then re-traded or waived. Currently investigating.
* UPDATE - I have a fix for the trades. I'll not allow a player to be placed on the trading block by the CPU if he has been acquired by a trade recently.

Manual Trade issue:
I've seen a few reports of users having trades set to Manual and still having trades done by the CPU. Again, no idea how this is happening and we're looking for more information.
* UPDATE - Not sure what's happening here, we can not get this one to reproduce. Whoever is getting this, please make sure that you don't have your profile option set to something different than your global setting. If you need to talk to me via PM or IM for further info, please just say the word!
* UPDATE 2 Thanks to tabarnes19 and a couple hours of debugging we have found the issue and have a fix in the works.

If you respond, please please PLEASE do not be noise. We need clear help or silence - we want these things cleared up as much as you do!

Ok so what's the verdict again on settings? I'm seeing all of this crazy stuff like turning roster control on and then off again, manually moving players to and from the minors...I can't wrap my head around it! :-)

In order to have a realistic MLB universe, which will not mirror real life MLB after day one, what do I need to do exactly?

Thank you!

Leave roster control off, select all 30 teams while assigning your profile to your team and "no profile" to the other 29 teams. Set your global settings how you see fit as they will decide how the CPU teams act during the season, thats it as far as I know. Knight can correct me if Im forgetting something Im sure.

# 403 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 03:56 PM

Thats correct chef... but turn cpu roster control off then back onn first that way the cpu won't trade for you even if u have it on manual. The reason why u would have to move players up and down manually is because the cpu wont do it based on performance, only will due to injuries. They will however do callups in sept. 7th, so u can leave roster moves on auto for global settings.

You can set auto for roster moves for ur controlled team, which i do for when my us u can still manually do it minor league players get injured. And since they dont move up and down due to performance, setting on auto is ok. Plus u can do it urself still anyway so setting it on auto is what i prefer personally. I'll post all settings i will have later when i am at the game for you to look over and i can explain each setting in better detail.

Trinity....
What you are really doing with this is glitching the game into CPU ROSTER CONTROL ON.
If you use 30 team control set trades to manual...the CPU won't trade for you....or won't trade with itself. It will offer trades, but none will get done without you approving.
You can still set the global to however you like.

Hmm, i will admit im a moron so that everyone can avoid pointing it out to me before i ask this question.

With this work around will the CPU teams still trade with eachother and place players on wavier?

# 406 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 04:54 PM

I understand what ur saying and i know that. I just rather have no trades at all then cpu performing horrible bad logic trades, and on top of that, they trade for me without me knowing. Just my personal preference to set it to no trades and let free agency be the only way players switch teams.

Question though...If i do the glitch of cpu roster control ON, which i will doo so my players arent traded for me by cpu. If i set cpu trades to auto, will that allow them to trade? I havent tried that yet so just curious...

Yes...
What I'm try to tell you though is not to limit yourself to CPU Roster Control.
You can achieve exactly what you want with putting trades to MANUAL for everything.
You won't see any trades happen(UNLESS you allow them) AND the CPU will still make it's own roster moves with injuries(if you want them).
I'm just saying this so people will realize that they can achieve exactly what your doing ...with the 30 team control instead(which you can change on the fly to your liking) of CPU ROSTER CONTROL(which locks you in)

Once these workarounds are incorportated into our franchises do you think they will crash or freeze when the actual patch comes out?

I plan on using one of them once the roster update comes out. Then i will probably just start a new chise again once the patch comes out. I am thinking mid to end of april. Till then its RTTS!

# 410 LowerWolf @ 03/06/10 05:17 PM

Just curious, anybody else test season mode?

I did three tests (one in franchise mode, two in season mode), simming on a month-by-month basis until the trade deadline. I controlled just one team in each case and turned injuries off (personal preference) in all three tests. Each time, the cpu made roster moves (including trades) for its teams. It left my teams alone both times in season mode, but did make a trade for me in franchise mode.

# 411 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 05:33 PM

That makes sense... I will just do that, and manually move the players up and down each month for every team then based on performance. And injuries on is fine with me so will leave that on. Thanks alot man!

# 412 ty5oke @ 03/06/10 05:39 PM

Just had AJ Burnett and Alfonso Soriano retire after year 1 due to age. Little disappointed in that.

Soriano hit .270 33 HR and 110 RBI in the simulated year.

# 413 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 05:39 PM

Wolf...havent really tested it, but the only thing about season mode is that u can used a saved/edited roster. It has to be default roster or roster from SCEA. Knights rosters for example wouldnt be able to be used in season mode. Other than that, season mode works great. I actually prefer season mode, but I want to create myself this year so cant use that edited roster in season mode.

# 414 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 05:44 PM

Ok, for some reason an edited roster worked on season mode! so ignore that last post lol...I swear it didnt work before and others had same problem. Maybe i did something wrong?? Im thinking franchise tho for me this year, cuz its like season mode if u control all 30, and set all the marketing and etc on auto. Also u get a contract with a team, so after its up u have the option to switch teams just in case u get bored with one or something.

I love 30 team control because currently the cpu signs FA in season but does nothing with them. Basically have an 11 mil player in AAA not on 40. I add them to 40 and mlb roster and let them use them after that. Hopefully that is one area that will be addressed in the patch as well.

ok, I have not been around all week and this stuff is confusing. Knight seems to make the most sense with the above but if done this way do the cpu teams still move players between AAA and MLB due to performance?

Also are there any other drawbacks?

# 417 DarthRambo @ 03/06/10 07:54 PM

Diamond... No, the cpu will still not move players due to performance, only injuries. So you'll have to manually do it urself based off the emails you'll receive on the first of each month.

# 418 JayD @ 03/06/10 08:43 PM

Has there been anything mentioned about player movement being addressed in the patch they are working on? I hate that the cpu only calls up players for injured players.

I believe coaches are individually contracted, so it could be a matter of not being able to get a contract into place.

Maybe Knight could shed more light on this.

# 420 artdog5110 @ 03/06/10 09:54 PM

I maybe off topic a bit but I cannot access the classic stadiums unless I am hooked up the network. Last year the patch corrupted franchises etc. So if I have started a season and try to access the stadiums, I will automaticly update the patch after it is released. Will I lose my season again?
