hey colin.
What if you change the player details (like Bat No. and stuff) from a saved game file, when a game is in progress, then will the changes takes place in that match or from the next match.
What happened is that I have downloaded Fobstyle's bat pack, and have replaced the 34 default EA ones. Then I have accordingly changed the bat numbers for the players, but somehow in the match (which was in progress when the saved file was edited) the bats are not in the correct order. (for eg. trescothick comes with Bubble KB bat when I have given him GM Maxi)
I am using Player Editor for this purpose.
