I had my doubts, then BAM!---third patch released, not only that, but quickly re-released to fix the third out scoring as a run from third. This is the true definiton of customer service. Other gaming companies should take note. Thanks again, SCEA!

I spoke, or typed, too soon. The game just froze for me exiting manage roster screen. Fortunately it doesn't happen every time so I was able to reboot the game and proceed.

To be more specific, if playing a franchise with the OS rosters and not willing to restart things, and able to deal with the drop ball four error, is there any other reason to download the patch?

If there is a runner on third with two outs he will score on a play even though you get the third out. For example, runner on third two outs, routine grounder to short, you throw out the batter at first for the third but the run counts. That is unacceptable and fortunately the latest patch corrected this.

Well, patch 3 fixed the Tropicana Field freeze issue; not sure if you're willing to just avoid playing there.

Can anybody confirm that patch 3 causes more freezing issues than ever before, or is this just coincidental?

# 165 HokieB @ 05/28/10 10:16 PM

I have the latest patch installed (w/ fix), and two games in a row the CPU got a base hit with a runner on 3rd and the runner stayed at 3rd even though he should have scored EASILY. I mean a straight-up base hit, and the guy on 3rd could have moonwalked home.

You then get a cut scene with the guy on 1st all pissed that the guy on 3rd didn't score.

Anyone else experience this? I wouldn't have thought much of it had it not happen two games in a row. I hope the latest patch and/or patch fix didn't cause this issue.

I have also seen this a couple of times now.

ONE MORE THING RUSSEL
plz remove the chain link fence sound when the ball is fouled straight back of the netting..
its not a chain link fence lol its net!

# 168 bloynoys @ 05/29/10 10:54 PM

I know I'm way behind with all this but my franchise is basically unplayable as about 5/6 of the top players are free agents during the season. I am in 2016. I thought this issue was addressed in previous updates and even restarted my franchise after this happened to me about three weeks ago as well. I'm sure this has been addressed but ive combed through all these forums and couldn't find an answer.

With the new live rosters they cut the number of A potential players in half, seems to have solved the problem. If you use 30 team control you can stave it off by doing the renewal process for each team using OS rosters.

# 173 kingdevin @ 05/31/10 01:18 PM

^^^ I like the sound of the fence, leave it in... its no big deal.

# 174 DJ @ 05/31/10 06:40 PM

Just had my first freeze in a Franchise game today. Mets (me) @ Rockies, top of 9th, one out and a runner on 1st. I go to lay down a sacrifice bunt and get clipped in the knee with the pitch. Right after the ball hits my batter, the game freezes with me ahead 4-2.

I restarted and simmed and wound up winning 3-1, so no big deal. I've played close to 50 games already between Exhibition and Franchise and this was the 1st freeze.

I'm loving the game, post-patch, by the way

Wow, I also had a seven game losing streak along with two shutouts. I finally had to sim a game just to stop the bleeding. The things i am noticing since the patch is that the PCI has had less effect on balls hit, the strike zone has become unreasonable, and errors have become way to frequent. I would say the strike zone has been the worst though because it has been impossible to pitch on the corners. The problem is that even on 0-2, 1-2 counts the computer is not even protecting the plate, but instead watching strike 3 called, ball #.

The PCI has been pretty bad too. Meat balls resulting in weak outs for about the last 12 games, and on the flip side the cpu pretty much putting everything in play, despite having the PCI no where near the pitch.

Maybe just the struggles of a franchise, but in playing about 40 games before the patch, these problems seemed to have increased significantly.

# 176 techhokies @ 05/31/10 08:56 PM

Haven't read the whole thread, but I'm hating what this patch has done to my offense. I'm not a regular player, it had been 3 weeks since I last played a couple games in a row, having time to only play a game a week or so. After the patch, I had some free time, and so I started playing some games. The first couple games, my offense was non-existent except for some solo HR's, but I figured that was due to my timing being off on offense. After my timing was up to speed, I'm still having the same problems. It reminds me of last year's game where hitting was much harder that it is in this year's game, pre-patch at least.

I liked the more open offense that this year's game offered. I'm sure the hardcore guys who play the game a lot more than me wanted the offense to be harder, but for me it was perfect. I wish this game had options like the NHL series, where I can go and play the game the way it was before this patch.

It does seem like a lot of the little things have been fixed with the patch though. But for me, I don't play enough to really care about the little things, and I'm not a Ray's fan so the Tropicana field glitch didn't really affect me, so this patch has actually made the game worse for me. Then again, maybe the hitting isn't different at all, and it's just all in my head.

It's all in your head. I play on two user controlled teams Red Sox and Pirates fantasy with the catch being every other draft round has to have a team connection until it runs out in the draft. I've had games with 15 to 20 hits and the next two games 4-5 hits and it makes little difference when I've gone from All-Star to Veteran hitting. I expect to hit better on Veteran hitting and I'm finding out I'm over anticipating missisng pitches by swinging early. It's either in my head or there really is a CPU/AI adjustment.

I also play historical exhibition with frequent lineup adjustments and get a variety of results often with sluggers wearing the collar. I love the variety of game results.

I was currently playing a while back with hitting-pitching difficulty at HOF. But pitching was still too easy so I bumped pitching to legend and it was a good for my taste. I was scoring roughly 5 runs a game... then the patch came and now I'm averaging 2 runs a game I mean WTH??

oww and how the errors have killed me it's now more frequent during the late innings. one of my last games I had a 2-0 lead 8 inning 2 outs runners at 2nd and 3rd... ground ball to the 3rd baseman YES I can get out of the inning!... WRONG! ball goes straight thorough the 1st baseman legs both runners scoring

# 179 techhokies @ 06/01/10 10:35 AM

I play on all star and use the left stick. I'll play a game today and if I still can't hit, I'll try moving it down to veteran.

Is there any way to see your teams overall in Road to the Show?
