Admin Ron, I will put this as calmly as I can:

Why is there an editing lock on your rosters? If I buy your game, I should have the right to do anything to it that I want for my own gaming pleasure. I understand the need to regulate everything online, but there is no reason to regulate things for people that just want to play their own franchise.

Here is the link for anyone who thinks I have made up this editing limit:

I used to think 2K made the best sports games until the last 2 games I have purchased. Front Office Manager is a great idea, but this was a ridiculously badly made game. I went to the trouble of doing rosters for that (I put down everyone with potential of 50 and created them into players and then moved them around to correct teams, so if the top catcher was a 75 potential on the Rangers, I made him Wieters and moved him to Baltimore). That took me about 40 hours to do. And then you had regenerating FA's which made all my hard work worth nothing. I thought that was fine that the game struggled b/c you were focusing most of your dollars on 2K9.

Don't get me wrong, 2K9 is a great game. But this locking of rosters is a deal-breaker to me. I hate playing with fake players (even in the minor leagues) and work to try and build them to accurately reflect minor league systems (I create many players and of the fakes I can't do anything with, I make them 0's, that is how big of an issue this is for me) before starting a franchise so that every team is correctly built and the true challenges (such as the Astros and Pirates) don't have a ton of great players that are fake.

I am a 22 year old who has bought every 2K game since probably 2K6. I have tried to phrase this question as more informative then being all ****ed because that gains nothing and I hope you will at least respond to me. I can understand living rosters, but if you make all the players accurately (but give them fake names like you have to do), then there is no need for living rosters b/c all the players will be there for us. The file share will enable the hardcores on rosters (like myself) to develop the rosters and allow everyone else to play them.

To be 100 % honest, any address of this issue won't affect whether or not I play this game (as I have already spent good money on it), but if this issue is not addressed, then I will never purchase another 2K sports game again.

Will a patch be coming out to fix this roster editing limit or will 2K9 be locked for the rest of the year and we have to make due with the living rosters?

Apologize for being long-winded.

Have you actually tried editing players to see how far you could get? There was a gentleman earlier whom had edited almost 200 players and still hadn't hit a limit. He did not create any players, only made edits to existing roster players.

So again, I was just wondering if you actually tried this yourself or were taking the word of the OS thread. Many have seen that thread but started experiments of their own.

All i did was straight fake name edits. I copy and pasted that forum link, as this is where I was posting my fake names for everyone to help for their own edits. I actually put these together myself and had a pop-up saying there is no more space on this roster for edits (came when I was about to put in a dude's last name too, which struck me as weird).

The editing limit isn't the only thing that needs to be fixed though. They also need to unlock certain things you can't currently edit, like positions.

I agree with Chris on this one. Whatever patch you guys are going to put out, had better fix these editing issues, or your gonna have alot of p'd off players wanting to use this game as a coaster on their coffe table...ya smell what I'm cookin'?

My issue with him letting you know through PM is that it appears to be him covering his a** if a patch isn't developed. By not publicly coming out and replying to this thread, but instead sending you a PM, he can mantain denability if a patch is never developed. Can we get a true reply to this from someone in the know and will take a stance publicly? Heck, tell us there isn't going to be anything so we can adjust to that.

Mike Pelfrey On the Mets has one of the most dominating sinkers in baseball. Why is it not on the game? Please fix this for multiplayer.

Ok, fine 2K. I am now going to sell this game back (and MLB FOM) and never purchase another 2K sports game again.

Honestly, I am a good customer who buys these games every year despite their flaws. All I was looking for was an answer (I believe I asked it in a mature way) and you can't even give me that. Incredible.

Yeah I'm not sure why I would recieve a pm from ron but he would not address this issue outfront on the forums and give an answer to a question we are all looking for.

Well guess what guys?! They Completely F-ed up the patch! THAAATS RIGHT! I SAID COOMPLEETELY FAHKED IT UP! Now any chance of you having fun while playing this game has gone RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW!!! We should invest in bats, balls, and gloves if we want a REAL baseball experience.
