Getting Rosters, Lineups and Rotations to stick when starting Franchise.
-
Is there a workaround to getting a custom roster to stick when starting a Franchise? I spent hours editing a custom roster with current rosters, pitching rotations and lineups but as soon as I start a Franchise (Even starting in the regular season) the Rosters are all messed up. I didn't play last year's game but I remember this also being an issue from years prior. How can they not have fixed this by now? What's the point of spending time "Validating" a roster file if it's just going to do whatever it wants when you start a Franchise anyway?

probably has to do with having "CPU roster control" or "CPU lineup management" on, in your settings

No. Everything is set to "Manual" and CPU Roster control off. This has been a problem in the past but I was hoping they would have fixed it by now. In the past the only way around it would be to go into Spring Training and edit my rosters again the day before the season starts.

Nope they removed 30 team control

When you are in spring training everybody is brought up to the MLB level. After spring training you have to manually knock guys back down to the minors and make sure your 40 man roster is set. It's best to do this with all 30 teams, using two profiles.

Yes they did true 30 team control was have just 25 on mlb last day of spring and add the 15 remaining on the first day of regular season I did a video of this in 2014 know wtf I’m talking about. Now they add 15 to 40 man that aren’t on 40 man

They changed it in 20. So apparently you don't know what you're talking about.

Nope anytime you make moves AI changes rosters

During spring training it brings all the guys on your 40 man to the mlb level if you start with a 40 roster or it will auto populate the 40 man if you start with a 26 roster. At any point during Spring Training go to the roster section within franchise and for all 30 teams drop the guys back down to the minors to where they were originally, it will use an option but when you advance to the regular season all the lineups and rotations stick.

Oh, I almost peed myself laughing at this. Then I cried a little.
RIP Franchise mode, my favorite mode in all of sports gaming.

[censored] tried with Ridin rosters, reduced the 40 man to just mlb 26 and started franchise. Went into spring training and boom back to 40 man rosters

40 man rosters are a requirement during spring training in the MLB. So you can either play the ST with 40 men, and wait until the last day of training to set the 26 man, or just skip the spring altogether. There is no way around having a 40 man roster in the spring.

Isn’t there a glitch where you cannot set the 40 man roster for spring training yourself? You have to end up using options for players when you shouldn’t have to right?

I've never seen that happen, unless they players are already Rule 5 players.

Yeah, I mean as long as I don’t use up the other 2 options for the player then I’m good but it just stinks you can’t customize your own 40 man to start your franchise..
