MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

02:05 PM - April 7, 2009 by Russell_SCEA

PS3 Only

On behalf of the entire MLB The Show development team we would like to take this time to first thank everyone for playing MLB 09 and being so patient with us as we work through some of the issues the community has experienced. We are very aware of these problems and we would like to announce that we are indeed working on a patch to fix the most glaring offline and online bugs and glitches you have encountered in this years game. When the patch is ready for deployment we will give an update with the contents of the patch. In meantime, we have found a work around for one of the most glaring bugs, the Road to the Show crash. If you skip all training sessions (batting and base running) during the month of September you should be fine. We know this is not ideal, however until the patch is ready for public release this will allow you to continue playing your RTTS save files (if the save file is before entering a training session). We take these issues and concerns very seriously and we do apologize for the inconvenience. Once again, thank you for your time and your patience. We will update the community as soon as the patch release date is set.

If the code in the game was causing stats to change simply from loading saved rosters, then wouldn't it also be possible to create coding that would cause the stats to revert back to the correct numbers? Does that make sense?

I feel like I didn't word that question too well...

Yes...it does.

I'm hoping that whatever was letting glitched rosters be reset..works again..that's what I meant......and that's what I think you are saying to, correct?

yoooo WTF? I just tried something. I started up a chise using bone stock default rosters. Went to the FA list and found griffey. Career HR's... 611. Arod....553. Giambi...396.. Ichiro...1805 hits. Manny 527 HR's...Sheffield 499. Knight, I'm sure you tried basing your roster sets off bone stock default rosters?

last year the patch worked on existing franchises so it should be the same this year.

I agree to many glitch in this game line up glitch and stats glitch areal big part of the franchise.. Who knows when this will get fixed I cant evan play FRACHISE very frustrating to say the least

Yeah that's what I was saying. We're on the same page, sorry I worded my post poorly.

Just got the game, is the patch going to address the lineup glitch? That's really annoying because I turn the CPU Roster Control on and the cpu is screwing with my lineups.

# 110 stylezzz @ 04/13/09 09:17 PM

This stat glitch, does it only affect Arod and Teix?

I just started my Jays franchise with Knights last roster set, and I just finished my series against Oakland.

In the paper, they mentioned Aaron Hill's career hit number 500. When I checked Baseball Reference, he is currently at 498 hits. So this stat glitch did not affect him regarding hits.

So is it only ARods and Teix's home run totals that are affected by this glitch?

That stinks. Oh well I guess I will keep my RTTS player going for a few more weeks. I hate not being able to start my franchise though.

Will this fix the lineup issue? i made my own rosters and have the correct line ps for each team yet it never works when i go into franchise mode.

Hopefully soon although your posts are hard to read since they are blue on a black background with my OS Skin.

That's strange that it's only effecting certain players and not everyone. I went through the Jays roster, and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Hopefully the update will fix the glitch for those already in franchises. I would hate to have to start over (even though I am still early on in mine) just to get everything correct again.
