I've read if you don't play the D'Backs - Dodgers opening series, you will get the OD bug (Plays OD commentary/displays in every Franchise pregame)... Is that still the case with the patch?

Just had my first game since the patch...ah organs music everywhere! Lovely

Though it's a shame the lighting in Wrigley is still broken during night games. I pitch in broadcast view so the black wall looks a bit rubbish.

Ive never played it. Never gotten the issue. I always thought the issue was with simming on that date. If you click on March 22nd and select sim you would get the OD every game. As long as you clicked on March 23rd or later and simmed then it was fine.

Dissapointed not to see RTTS having pitchers at bat try to bunt. (they don't in RTTS), and in standard gameplay, when trying to slide and break up the double play the issue of the batter sliding in at 1st. not being fixed.

Yeah it's some weird shadowing. I also pitch broadcast so I know what you're saying. There's also a random extra shadow on the left field wall in day games and I can't figure out what it's a shadow of.

Curious to hear if online is much more playable now.

I was just hoping for a frame rate fix and a lighting fix. Really sucks to hit a walk-off HR and then for the game to drop to below 30 FPS while my team celebrates at home plate.

I don't play online, nor do I play diamond dynasty, so all this waiting for a patch that only fixes a couple small things relevant to me is a bit of a letdown. I mean "repeated jumping on a pop fly causing runners to advance"? I had no idea that was even a thing until these notes. And getting the HR derby to work during install is neat and all, but I don't think sales of The Show are going to increase any time soon, so I don't get why this needed attention.

And who plays on music mode anyway? I couldn't stand the soundtrack after a day or two, I couldn't imagine having to listen to it during games as well.

Nice to see they fixed the color corruption issue. Strange thing is though, I had it happen more often when I first got The Show and I haven't run into it yet during July.

Did they fix the issue where after u win a game it cuts to show the manager and the dugout is almost completely black?
 
# 29 SwedishTouch76 @ 07/17/14 02:45 PM
Dumb question. How do you apply the patch? Psn store?

Check your notifications. It's probably already downloaded and installed.
 
# 32 SwedishTouch76 @ 07/17/14 02:56 PM
Strange. I have no notifications

Could be a PSN issue. Destiny Beta seems to have broken everything.

So I'm SOL if I'm still getting OD display in May of my Franchise?

It's actually pretty nice if you add your own mp3s.

Agreed about the lack of fixes for the framerate and lighting being very disappointing.

As far as i know. It might reset once the next season starts. But since you are only in May you are probably playing most of the games which will be annoying.

Yea I'm playing every game... Don't really feel like restarting either... Oh well, looks like I'll keep hitting X.

13 had this bug as well... Would have thought they fixed that for 14.

I know you guys were rushed this year, so I'm hoping the QA process catches a little more next year.However, thank you Sony San Diego for giving us a great game.

Can anyone give an update on the online playability post patch? Still laggy and glitchy or is it looking better?
 
# 40 Frogdaddy @ 07/17/14 04:34 PM
I played 2 games. My hitting was laggy. I never had a noticeable problem with hitting lag until after the update today. Makes game play much worse because you can't react until after the results of the hit are observed.
