MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 Release Date and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

The second patch will be live on Thursday 3-18-10. The fix list is below. Also, this patch was worked after the game had shipped, so we had a chance to address issued reported by consumers. We fixed all we could given the time frame for this patch to go live as soon as possible. While I'm sure it doesn't cover all issues you are experiencing, we are continuously investigating other problems and we will update everyone once we have more concrete information. Regarding problems with leagues, some of these issues can be fixed server side, while others may require a patch. Again, we will keep the community updated on this situation as best as possible. We thank you for your patience and help identifying these issues.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

SCEA must have taken the office equipment with them on vacation. ;)

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

Pared,

I am new to the whole patch business do you know what time it usually drops? Will it be available like at midnite by chance?

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Wow, really can't thank you guys enough for this. I was more than happy to play with the workarounds, but this is just beautiful. Thanks so much. :)

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Very nice!!! :woot:

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

Thanks Russell!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

No clue. But now I have another reason to claim tomorrow as the start date of March Madness! :woot:

It can be at anytime, so please... don't start making post after post asking when it will be released everyone! :y220:

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

After my first year with this franchise I was highly critical of the way this game was shipped even after the obligatory loading patch. My blog can vouch for that, but I must say this is a breath of fresh air. Kudos to SCEA, now I am starting to REALLY see why everybody is so high on this title. :y220e: Now where did I put that Koolaid? :drink:

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

Looks like PastaPadre's article was all for nothing.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

So awesome that this patch is coming out so soon, thanks SCEA.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

What did PastaPadre say?

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

DOH! PastaPadre......FAIL, lol.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Awesome!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Unreal, you guys at SCEA continue to go above and beyond to help out this community. Many thanks.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

Great job and thanks for the update.

Fixed issue causing players placed on trade waivers to not be withdrawn if claimed by a user controlled team (offline season).

I assume this means for franchise too, so we dont end up loading up on superstars.

- Fix exiting Bullpen issue.

Is this the Trop fix?

Guess we'll have to have a few people dive into franchise and see how everything works now, if the Pujols', Howard and Fielders are still being traded and how the 30 man control works.

Thanks again Russell and SCEA team!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

5am I believe

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Nothing worth going on about, it was false speculation anyway.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

This is great! Will there be more patches? I am a auto field gamer and all ball marker aids stay on even when they are turned off. This will get fixed eventually, right?

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Awesome news!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Certainly a productive vacation.;)

There should have never been any doubt that SCEA was on top of things. Well done!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

thanks

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Brilliant work glad these guys came through.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Nothing that SCEA does surprises me anymore, They are a top notch Company that delivers everytime!

Thanks to Russell and the whole team for all their hard work & getting this patch out to us!:appl:

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

You know these SCEA guys felt horrible with some of the issues that popped up.

They are not like other companies that are gonna take our money and hide. SCEA is respected and has a higher standard for a reason!!!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

WOw! Totally unexpected to see this! Gonna have to go back to test run some franchises now to see exactly what's been adressed. Regardless, SCEA, you guys are #1 :nchuck:

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

So does this mean your gonna be able to have more than 255 songs on the game, or are they drawing the limit of songs at 255?

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

- Fix catcher throw decisions when AUTOTHROWING is on


This is nice! I'm tired of my catcher pausing before throwing to second on steals, resulting in a successful steal 100% of the time so far!

Thanks SCEA!

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

I will admit that I had my doubts about these guys even though the game has been great these last few years.I wont be so quick to write off this dev team again.Good work and big thumbs up.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

Waiver Issue

Is this referring to the Superstar talent on the waiver wire at the end of the year?

For instance I simmed through a season and picked up Fielder, Dotel, etc... off of waivers.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-17-10)
 

Which makes him consistant.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

No they don't.... Just double checked and they are all off ..
I play with region on but catch position off with no problem. Just turned both off and they are not showing up.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

I give a big round of applause to the SCEA guys for getting this out so quickly. Well done.

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

This was an unexpected surprise! Just a quick question of the stances/deliveries.

- Create a player using these stances/deliveries:

Stances:
Bay, Jason
Barmes, Clint
Barton, Daric
Fukudome, Kosuke
Kemp Matt
Longoria, Evan

Pitch Deliveries:
Kuroda, Hiroki
Lilly, Ted

Is this the entire list or just the standouts? I know the list that we compiled was bigger, so just curious if all were added from that list or just the above???? Thanks for everything Russell and SCEA. The greatest game gets better and better all the time. Later

Re: Patch #2 Release and Fixes (3-18-10)
 

If you really want to know, it was implied on his website that a patch may not come till late April, due to the SCEA team being on vacation.

So this dispells that rumor.
