I thought this at first, but when I looked closer before deleting it it was dated 3/6 at around 12:30 AM - Launch Day, the night I picked up the game for midnight release. Despite it being the same size, there may have been more to it than just being the patch.

Yup. The Vault is the same way, too. Noticed that while I was running my little test.

I remember the 3/6 add on. Any idea what was on that one? My Game Data Utility show 3/6 too.

I have posted about this in a few different threads. Here's the deal: When you go into a season with Hustlin's rosters, the 15 guys from each team that are left off the 40 man roster and are put into the free agent pool. Season doesn't work like franchise where you have a full minor league system. You only have 40 players, and 15 of them are in a placeholder AAA spot.

Translation: In season mode with Hustlin's rosters, you are adding 450 players to the FA pool, which is overloading it and likely causing the freeze. If you want real lineups, the only choice is 30 team control and setting them yourself with the full 40 man rosters.

Dang, I should have tested this before I left. So, you cannot download any rosters without the patch? If so, can't you just download them, then delete the patch? Sorry, if I missed something here.

Well, you could always download the roster from here and copy it to the PS3, if the roster maker posts it here (I know the OSFM guys do this, and there should be instructions on how to do this in those threads).

Apologies for veering off topic, BTW.

You could download it from the internet (sendspace..etc...etc) and save it to your PS3 avoiding the vault altogether.

EDIT: bcruise beat me to it

I'm doubting it's custom rosters.

I've now simmed/played/cycled through every team with multiple saves from before the patch and haven't had one freeze yet.
The only thing is.....most were still in spring training or Day 1 regular season with no games played or only 1 day done.

I'm wondering if it's hanging up(for quite a long time) with trying to download info for the ticker(menu) or connecting to PSN for the info. I've had it hang for so long in the past...that I thought it was a freeze(and you cannot hit any buttons to do anything)

M.K.
