You'd have to delete every single patch though, right?

You can't just delete one, can you?

Unless you keep overwriting saves(and at this point...why would you) and older save shouldn't get corrupted though.
Although having backups elsewhere(USB and on your PC as well) isn't a bad idea!

So the real tip here is to NOT load up any franchise after the all-star break if you have the patch installed. I'm currently restoring my system (from having to power off while frozen). Will delete patch and report findings shortly.

No. That's not what I was saying.

I mean back up your franchise on a zip drive.

DL the patch.

Try out your franchise.

If it freezes or glitches out, delete the patch.

Insert the zip drive and copy your franchise back onto the PS3.

No, you shouldn't have to. But in this case, everyone should.

Yea I deleted the patch. All franchises still screwed.

Guess I'm going to have to start keeping saves on my PC just to make sure some stupid patch breaks my hours upon hours of game time.

*rant on* If this isn't fixed I'll be making a trip to the dump shortly. Won't even give this game the dignity of selling it back to gamestop so that nobody else gets screwed so hard. *rant off*

So yea hopefully this gets fixed. Trying to think of a way the record thing could be fixed. Maybe have the game scan actual wins/losses through the schedule?? Dunno guess the waiting game is on.

Correct but if I was that deep into my season, playing every game, and it was my only option to continue or lose it...I'd do it, finish the season out. Then, I'd start a new one with the lastest patch(s).

I don't see how this is possible?

The file is guarded (unpatched) offline on a zip drive. Once the patch is deleted, and the file is placed back on the system, the patch should not impact the file. Essentially, this file never interacted with the patch (or a patched system).

I am very lost by your post. I get you are rightfully angry, but what you are saying defies logic.

I don't know either man. Like the entire reason for me keeping that extra save file was to prevent such issues.

Unless franchise somehow auto-saves upon LOAD I don't see how it would be affected by the patch either.

All I know is I had a save for September 20, 2012 that I saved last night.

I also had the save I was playing on September 21, 2012. I played the Phillies, lost, noticed my record. Tried to advance, it froze.

Loaded up the Sep. 20 save and it showed the same record (minus 1 since I hadn't played the Phils yet). Also freezes upon advancing the day.
