So Franchise still can't use updated roster
-
Downloaded the new roster and started franchise.
I saved today's roster update to a file, loaded that file to my franchise.
Started w/ the WSox and Eloy is still in the lineup.
So I guess it didnt work as Eloy in the roster update is not in the lineup like real life and Mercedes is.
Am I doing something wrong here or it is just broken?

I don't know what you mean by saving to a file. If you save a roster as saved custom roster, then you load custom roster to start a franchise. The way I would do it if saving a live roster is edit someone, attribute or equipment, and save as custom roster.

you can save the 'live' roster file to a file on your hd. that's what i meant. it's just named 'roster'. -
How are you loading the roster to start a franchise? If you choose custom roster, then I don't think it would work. If you have a live roster with correct lineup, then edit something in that roster, such as an attribute or equipment and save it as a custom roster. Next, load your custom roster that was saved when starting a franchise. In other words, you would be using the live roster you edited and saved into custom rosters to start a franchise.
-
No it still doesn't work - i've tried numerous ways and also others are reporting it.
Franchise is just not a priority to them. I wanted to start my franchise at least in April because I like to catch up w/ the real life teams and play a game nightly to keep in pace.
But now, they may never fix it or fix it some months later which ruins it for me.
-
How about downloading a roster uploaded to vault from April 30th to present and using that to start a franchise?
-
So I take it once one has started a Franchise then one cannot make any roster changes at all without starting a new Franchise? That's really poor design if that's the case.

What kind of roster changes are you speaking of? You should be able to move players up and down the roster.
-
Once stating my Franchise I can only use the players that I started with: on the main screen up at the top “ create” I go into manage rosters and there is a 40 man roster and I want to move players to replace some of them but can’t figure out how?
-
I use CPU Roster Control when starting a franchise. Anyway, in your case, maybe you have to make room for the player. If you have 40 man filled, you can remove one player from the list and send him down, and then add one player and bring him up. Perhaps you need to click on player to view options available, such as remove from 40 man, send to Majors, etc.

ya tried that, it's not working. it loads but doesn't reflect in the franchise mode.
-
Okay I figured it out, moving the right joy stick gets to the minor leagues. Now I saved the updated roster but it made no changes in my Franchise roster that I'm currently playing. So how does that work? It seems like the program choses players from the 40 man roster without MLB AAA, AA, or A status. Wouldn't it be nice if that had a help screen or instructions? Na, figure out yourself.

did you manage to download rosters from the vault and use them in franchise? i cant seem to do it or it's just broken.

Yes, I downloaded a roster. Restarted my Franchise anew and was able to edit later and save it, but it still will not change any players in the Franchise mode after I started it with the downloaded roster from this morning. I don't think its possible to change any players once it has started the Franchise. I did have a pitcher injury in my second game put him on the 15 day DL and after that it rearranged my starting rotation and added a minor league AAA rated CF. Go figure? It will be interesting when my pitcher gets off the DL to see what happens next. I'm unable to chose replacements off the 40 man roster, the program does it. Don't get it yet. I was in IT for 27 years before I retired in 2010 and could program in Basic and C Language in the late 80's So I can say that I think this is a terribly designed program for the rosters. If you ever had EA Sports MLB or 2K Sports MLB you know what I mean.
-
thanks i figured it out.
I was downloading the Live roster which is correct. The game took it.
Just what happens is in Franchise mode, if I skip spring training, the CPU will redo the live rosters for me. So Eloy is in AAA and got called up to MLB and Mercedes sent down to AAA.
But if you do spring training, the Live Rosters which are current do reflect
-
Yes, that is automatic but try calling up some player from AAA and see what happens. Even when you exit the 'Create' section saving the change correctly it still doesn't change the players in the Franchise that was already in progress. If this program were coded correctly the new file should write over the old file. Basic programming 101 and yet it doesn't which means they didn't program the code to do it or we'd get an error code like 'can't execute" or something. Like I said before, in my opinion this part of the program is poorly written and not user friendly.

It's working as it is designed. The players you start with are the ones you keep the entire franchise. If you expected the rosters to update, that would be a mess, right?
Let's say on day one you trade a player from your team to another team, but when the new rosters come out, he is back on your team in real life, so if you were to load that new roster, your trade would be gone.
If you want to use new rosters you need to start a new franchise, or manually edit everything. -
I was disappointed that they didn’t have last years draft picks in the minor league roster

That’s because the 2 rosters are independent of each other. Any changes to a franchise roster once you start a franchise have to be made while you are inside your franchise file. Changing anything under the create tab just changes that particular roster file. That’s pretty standard on any sport console game.
