I like moving players from AAA to the majors and back depending on the player's performance. I've already sent a ineffective starter after his third start not getting past 4 1/3 innings and a very bad ERA. Bringing in a AAA starter who is doing better.

Red_Ted; Thanks so much, I was able to send a starting pitcher to AAA that never got past 4 innings and had a ERA you'd need a calculator for and promoted a lefty AAA pitcher. Really appreciate your help. Its the only thing I really didn't like playing my Franchise now I can move players. Have a great day

"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."
Okay then explain where in Franchise mod I can call up a player from AAA to the Majors and send one from the Majors down to AAA. No place in Franchise mode is that available unless its buried someplace in the program. Ya, you can change the lineup but only with the players shown in the first place.

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.

Kind of sensitive button isn’t it? No too realistic.

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.

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.

Okay, I have Xbox One. I go to manage my 40 man roster. I move a player from AAA to MLB and visa versa. I get "invalid" Xs in the first two circles in the lineup part. I go into MLB line up correct the line up. Exit now one X in the middle circle. I go back into lineups but no where can I find how to get to th AAA batting line up. Its not on the bottom of the page as suggested because the PS version is. Anybody ? Help.!!
