Thanks for the response.....I will let you know.

User error is the fix for this one.

It doesn't happen with any other base except for when they are on 3rd. I don't think it's user error because I'm 99.9% positive that I don't hit the steal button

How are injuries handled when you get them in your franchise? Can you put people on the DL?

10. HEY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STAT OVERLAYS?! Thanks to bcruise for this one..... FIX FOR BROKEN SEASON OVERLAYS (requires season restart) Here goes...it has to do with playing a quick or exhibition game in the same playing session in which you start a season. As you know, the game has all kinds of stats to show during exhibition games. But...if you go to start a brand-new season in that same session - while the game is still on, those stats will stay in the game's memory and show up during the other modes, where they often highlight a zeroed out stat and are basically meaningless. The fix? Real simple. After playing an exhibition game, quit the game (back to the XMB)and restart it again. THEN start your franchise/season/rivalry. The quick game stats will not be there, and I believe the real tracked stats will start showing up after a few games (sample size and all that) Just so you guys can see what it is, here's a step by step.... (Note: THIS IS THE BUG, NOT THE FIX! The fix is right above this!) 1 Start a quick game with any team(I'm going to use the Cubs for the purpose of showing the exact stat overlays). 2. Observe the first inning, and the overlays that show up for each hitter (In the Cubs case, Soriano's HR's are highlighted). These stat tidbits are now loaded in the game's memory, and will be stuck there until you exit to the XMB (don't do that yet). 3. Exit the game back to the main menu. 4. Start a season (franchise or rivalry will be the same as well) with the same team you chose in quick game. The options don't matter - just get to the schedule screen. Select the first game on the schedule (ST or reg. season - doesn't matter). 5. Watch the first inning - you'll see the same overlays you saw in quick game. Only this time, the stats are correctly zeroed. Which means the overlay is highlighting a stat that isn't there. That's the bug. 6. At this point, if you save your season (autosave too), your season is borked. Those overlays will be broken for the duration, because the game loaded the faulty ones and saved them. Load it up and run the next game, and any others - you'll see the same thing every time. The fix above prevents this from happening. When you don't play a quick game before starting the season, those old stats are never loaded. And when you save your new season, it will be locked - no amount of quick games you play can screw that file up. Like I said, I saw this last year, and it's the same exact bug with the same exact fix. Enjoy!

When should these start to appear? I am currently playing my 5th game of the season just want a heads up as to when I should start seeing these. Obviously it is too early now right?

Hang on, I'll check. But yes, you need some kind of sample size before it'll start showing stats like that.

19 games into my franchise and have yet to see an overlay, I did not play an exhibition prior either. Simply loaded game and started by franchise.

I know the earliest they can appear is the sixth game or so, because it will start mentioning hitting streaks of that length (Matt will talk about it too). Their batting average will be highlighted and it will say they have a 6-game hitting streak.

I just want to make sure you know I'm not talking about those league leader boxes that show up during cutscenes - I've never seen one of those in season play either. What I'm talking about is during the batter walkup, where their season stats show. Most of the time it'll be hitting streaks, noting a guy in the top 10 in a particular stat...stuff like that. It's not like there's going to be something for every player. It's nowhere near as diverse as those quick game ones - those were specially made for each player just for exhibition games.

This fix is more about getting the bad info (the quick game stats) out of the picture than anything else.
