workaround for historical stat glitch

[Maynard]

another glitch with the new roster update from SCEA is that the historical stats are mess up. here is the work around to use knights file or your own.

NOTE: notice the part in bold down below where he says after you edit you must do steps 1-9 again.....i did not have to do the steps a 2nd time. After i did his steps and started my franchise, i made ratings edite, line up/rotaion edits and callup/send downs. and the historical stats held just fine

Maybe a mod could sticky this so it doesn't get lost...it works...I've re-tested this and refined the instructions so there is one less step...(you needn't save the downloaded SCEA roster for this to work)

1. Load up game and go straight to SportsConnect
2. It will apply SCEA's latest roster file (you needn't save it)
3. Log out of SportsConnect
4. This applied roster is now active - you can check by viewing the Yankees, Pettite is on the roster...A-Rod has 553 Hrs.
5. Load up Knight's edited roster for better franchise/season lineups
6. Goto roster management for the Yankees and check A-Rod's player card - 553 HRs.
7. Start season/franchise using "current" rosters, don't "load" them..
8. Once inside of the franchise check again and he's still on 553, Texieria on 203
9. Checked a few scores and Damon leading off, so using Knight's fixes...historical stats are also correct.

There is nothing stopping you editing Knight's roster after following 1-9..however you will need to re-start the game, follow steps 1-9 again for those changes to take effect without affecting the historical stats.

This was picked up after I noticed A-Rod and Teixeira's stats had swapped between both players (A-Rod at one point had 203 HRs, Teixeira, 553 HRs) after I'd manually loaded several rosters...it was a bit of luck how I came across this workaround but it does work. If you load Knight's or any other roster (even a downloaded SCEA one) without going online first you will see Teixeira will have A-Rod's historical stats and vice versa...it also affects other player's stats too..not every one but it does affect some others...doing 1-9 will stop this happening.

There is definitely something wrong with the SCEA code logic when loading a roster for these stats getting skewed..hopefully the above helps the guys at SCEA to pinpoint this enabling them to fix it in a patch (with better lineups as well please)

Thanks.

Thanks for that. Now I can start my Reds Chise.

Just discovered that this doesn't fix the lineup glitch. Youk will still be hitting second for Boston. Best roster to download is KnightTest3 and do the historical stat workaround that was posted already.

I would wait before starting any franchise's until the lineup issues is fixed

I know it deals with Franchise but does it mess up RTTS mode?

[ryne candy]

I'm not quite sure. The way scea has the starting lineups out of the box are a bit questonable.

Your best bet is to start a rtts and see how you like it. Personally I'd wait for knights minors before starting anything I'm going to put tons of time into something with innacurat minors, lineups, etc....

I guess I'll think of this as my practice RTTS....learn the ropes and what to do with my points.
