has anyone mentioned the stupid POTENTIAL RATING in franchise mode? this is so annoying, and it makes players get progressivly worse that shouldn't be...example- ryan zimmerman, jon lester, robinson cano, dustin pedroia.....these guys become terrible by year 3 in franchise mode...so unrealistic they need to fix this!
ok, if this has been asked already my apologies i have started a chise with the Cubbies and am enjoying spring training.....granted i am 2-3 but havin a grand ole time. question though: why when a game is scheduled to be a day game with first pitch at 1:05 is it usually always a night game? when i am at the field selection screen it will have blue skies and the sun is out but i go to a different field selection screen, the ball park is suddenly under the lights? i figured it was just cycling through what a day game looks like and then a night game but when i actually start the game blammo! there i am under the lights. am i missing something? is this a bug of some sort. would love to hear that i am an idiot and that i am missing something rather than it being some kind of scheduling bug. again sorry if this has been brought up before.
Use L1 and it will keep the games day if you use R1 you come across the All Star Game stadium which is night and it switches them all to night. But using L1 to select a stadium allows you to scroll through all of them before getting to the ASG stadium.
where do you go to download that...i know there is the "roster vault" but its not in that is it?
go to SportsConnect and under one of the tabs is the ability to save the latest roster update(not sure exactly) and that will get you the 3/8 roster update.

sick man thanks....i did it and checked ryan zimmerman potential- A
I thought a dropped ball four by the catcher being recorded as an error was fixed by patch 2....?
It was never listed as a patch fix I don't believe...people just assumed it was fixed because they didn't see it the first few times they had a wild pitch on ball four or a dropped third strike. It's inconsistent - doesn't show up every time in the same situation. Things like that are tough to patch when it can't be reliably recreated, hopefully they've been able to narrow down the cause.

I hope so, it's tough throwing sinkers in the dirt knowing I'm getting errors on them.
While I have some problems with franchise mode, I'm absolutely in love with the gameplay. It's almost perfect.
I say almost because this... this I hate. And it happens far too often, sadly. (sorry for the crappy SD quality! also, video might not be live yet, YouTube is chugging along right now)
Just started a franchise and simmed to day before all-star game. Going to go through and play all the games on the schedule. Toronto now has 5 catchers on the MLB roster. There bench consists of 4 C and Overbay. Just a heads up for those who aren't playing with 30-team control.
loving this game post patch, but is it even possible to hit a check swing homerun? I just hit one with Andre Ethier.
I've seen that in past years, that bugs been around a while. It's just to hard to replicate. I've only seen it twice, once in '07 and once in '08 both times with Hideki Matsui!
Can someone please explain to me how you can control trades on a 30 team controlled franchise? I simmed a few franchises up to the trade deadline on a 30 team controlled franchise. I did it where I had trades set to manual and there were no trades at all (none even proposed) and I did it where I had trades set to auto and it just notified me of what trades happened. Neither way gave me the option of viewing trades and choosing whether or not to accept or decline. Is there a way to have the computer propose trades to other teams and then I have the choice of accepting or declining the trade for the two teams? I hope my question makes sense. I have read through this whole thread and thought I understood, but I guess not! Thanks guys!
