Wow, that sounds amazing. One question on the schedule though, is when you start a franchise it will automatically begin in 2012, not 2013. Is there a workaround for that to begin the franchise in the correct year? I'm just curious how you plan to address that before you spend the time importing 2012 stats and making a 2013 schedule, if in the end, we have to start in 2012.

Yes, this started for me today as well, since it looks like 2K took their servers off line for the game. The date fix works though (change your system date to a day when a game was played like 10/1/12 and then start the game).

You restock via the amateur draft (which happens in June) and you can sign minor league free agents. So there is plenty of opportunity to get fresh blood into your minor league system.

Importing a roster makes a ton of sense to me. In fact, it would be one way to to allow you to play the 2013 schedule next year instead of having to start in 2012. You could sim through 2012, then overlay the 2013 roster over your franchise at the start of the 2013 season and have correct team rosters, ratings and 2012 historical stats. If the import simply updated players to be on the correct teams, changed their ratings, and brought in the historical information in the roster file it would be great. As updated rosters came out during the season you could keep you franchise rosters current with reality. As long as the roster file historical data ended in 2012, it wouldn't mess up any of your 2013 (or beyond) data.. I run my franchise in parallel with the real season and only play the current season and then start a new franchise the next year. So of all the mod suggestions I've seen, this would be the most valuable one for me.

Just downloaded patch #2 and installed your new rosters and they are totally fantastic! I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this and can now look forward to starting some awesome dynasties! Thanks so much!
