I started the game and loaded the original psa file. The game checked the server and advised that a newer version of the file was being downloaded. It took about 2 1/2 minutes to download. My connection is 1.5M x 256K DSL. When the file finished downloading the game crashed and windows created a report which I allowed it to transmit to microsoft. There are three files on my system in the PSA folder dated 11-21-2006. 1. baseball thru the years.zip 3554 KB. When I tried to open this by double clicking on it I was told that it was not a valid archive file. 2. Baseball Thru The Years.PSA 18,564 KB & 3, FTP.log. I restarted the game and tried to load the league again and again the game crashed. I started the game twice more and these times it when through the same process and this time did not crash. However each time when I tried to look at the Boston roster there were no players there. The same appears to be the case for all teams. I tried a fourth time except I logged in as Philadelphia instead of Boston and the game crashed before downloading anything and windows again wanted to send a report to MS. I shut down ZoneAlarm and Norton Antivirus, neither of which have affected the game on my computer in the past and tried again. The game downloaded the file and when opened there were no players. Each time I try to start the game and open the league I am told that the Commissioner has uploaded a newer version and the game appears to download it but there is no change in what I already had. I then started an evaluation copy of Winrar and opened the baseball thru the years.zip file successfully. It contained 3 files. 1. psa -26,386,482 KB 2. psc - 4,662 KB and 3. psx - 1,691,648 KB. I extracted these to the PSA folder and 3 files were overwritten. I had not seen the last 2 when I examined the folder. When I opened the league with the game after this the teams were all populated with players. I shut the game down to write the above and when I tried to open the league files again I noted that I could log in as New York, Boston, or Philly. Other than commissioner, there were no other choices. This time each time I selected Boston the game crashed and wanted to send MS a report. I extracted the files again overwritting those that had been written to begin with and then tried to open the league and the results were the same. It would seem that multiplayer still has serious issues that have not been fixed by the latest patch.
