Did the patch fail to automatically download for anyone else?

I had my PS4 in rest mode and I have it set up to download and install updates while in rest mode - in fact, it did for a game last week. But I get home tonight, fire up the PS4 from rest mode and get the download is available message.

I was ready to play, but now I've got to wait for this download.

I was in rest mode with the game open. I had to DL and install it when i started it up.

I'm not sure. I tried one sim without instant trades and only saw 4 trades. I'm seeing anywhere between 8-20 trades post patch with instant trades, so I am assuming that is what will be for you to allow.

Alot of major league rp for minor league starting pitchers. I also see that no one is on the trade block in August and fewer now through the season. That may be why there are fewer trades. When I try to add players to the block with 30 team control the cpu clears it the next day.

By chance did they add the pending transactions screen in the offseason like the screen available to us during the season? Not having this made me turn trading off during the offseason because before last year's iteration the trades were utterly insane...

I've noticed that some boundary problems still persist at Wrigley. It seems that the players, announcers, and camera act as if the stands are actually in the field of play. The camera will follow the ball halfway to the back of the seats while the ball disappears with Matt V saying it "lands foul".

The player chasing it is stuck running in place at the partition. Before the patch, the ball would sometimes warp back to the player for an out. Has anyone seen the magic ball warp after the patch?

Anyone noticed any differences when hitting? Ive only played one game so pretty much no sample size at all. Had 10 runs on 18 hits and 3 HR. Just curios what others are seeing.

Very small sample size but I hit the best I have yet first game after the patch. Could be placebo or just one of those games where things were clicking for me at the dish. We'll see what happens the next few games.

It's working properly not a bug if you change any part of a real players batting stance like follow through etc. it moves everything into the generic category. All those animations are tied together and con not be separated. Not a bug and not a design choice either.

Ok so if I want to keep the batters real personalized swing, follow-through, HR trot....you're saying don't touch ANY batting attribute and leave them on "default" or else it will reset to a complete generic swing type. Correct?

Re: MLB 15 The Show Patch 1.02 Available Now, Details Included (PS3, PS4)

Is it considered a glitch when instead of running all the way through 1st base on the final out of the inning, players instantly start jogging to the dugout? Often stopping on a dime to do it?

I see this quite often and was hoping it may have been fixed under "animation cleanup". I am yet to play a game with the patch yet.

Also am not talking about runners slowing down, its when they come to a dead stop from a run animation turn and walk in a split second,doesn't look natural so don't think its intended.

Which is such a sad state of affairs and just so very sad as whole. I hope I am never one of these people........EVER!

To add on to this thought. The Show developers have added so many features for those that want to play quicker games. Quick Counts, Fast Play etc. I do not begrudge people these features. But why take away features for those of us that don't want to play quick games. You have scenes of Pitchers wiping sweat off their brow, split screens of the pitcher batter duel, mascots rallying the crowd, how much longer does it take to show a foul ball or a batter walk up?

All I am saying is these have always been in the game, why take them out now?

Totally agree! Well said. I want all of the broadcast presentation I can get. For the casual fan or anyone else wanting a faster game.... give them the option of fast play. It's already in the game! I love the game, but this year I feel like key moments get sped up too fast that you don't get "in the moment" like the game of baseball was intended.

Not sure if this is a new bunt bug because of the patch (the release notes mentioned some bunt code was worked on) or if this is just one of those really rare bugs that has existed in the game since day one, or perhaps it was not even a bug but some rare rule. But in my game this evening, the CPU opposition pitcher got four bunting foul balls before he was called out when he should have been called out on that 3rd bunting foul ball? Oh and the 2nd pitch of the plate appearance might have been what triggered the issue. Here is the scenario.

- Opposition had base runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

- Opposition pitcher is at bat and a sacrifice bunt is expected.

- 1st pitch is high and in and the batter fouls it for a 0-1 strike.

- 2nd pitch also high and in and it hits the batter. A walk right? Nope ... the commentator mentioned that the umpire ruled on a rare play where the batter stepped into the pitch and a strike was called on batter putting him down 0-2.

- 3rd pitch is low and away and fouled off. Batter out right? The commentator even mentioned that the batter was out on the 3rd strike bunting foul and I am thinking, "Woohoo I lucked out on this one". However ...

- Instead of facing the next batter, the pitcher is still at the plate. On the 4th pitch my pitcher throws another pitch low and away, the batter fouls it away again and this time he is out.

But why did the batter get that 4th attempt? He clearly had an 0-2 count after the 2nd pitch where it was ruled that he stepped into the pitch. Is this a bug? or is there some sort of bunting rule I am not aware of?

Does anybody know if you have to start offline franchise over again for the patch fixes to work? I really don't want to start over again,seeing I play all 162 games and about to the end of May. The reason I ask is,because I haven't see highlights after the game still.

I'm playing a Franchise with the Astros that I transferred from MLB14.

On 14, I played the entire 2014 season and the 2015 Spring. I started the 2015 season on MLB15.

Just stating all of that in case it is important.

I'm sad to report that post-patch all of the following are still true:

1. The home teams pitching staff ("Big Arms") is always the topic of discussion during pregame.

2. Every game is treated like Opening Day.

3. The PA Announcer introduces the home 9 as "Your 2016..." even though it is 2015.

4. The first home run of any game is always treated as though it is that player's first career home run.

All of this really hurts immersion but it isn't the end of the world. Just reporting.

Aside from those every-game annoyances, I'm happy with the patch.

Every time a player breaks a bat, the opposing team's bat boy hands the batter a new bat. Anyone ever notice that ?

I saw an instance where it maybe could have happened and didn't. The player was just reaching the wall instead of continuously running into it when the ball came down though, so it may not have been the exact trigger for the bug.

I too saw the ball just bounce into the stands as though it were landing in an open field. No reaction by the fans to try and catch it.

The foul ball warp isn't exactly explicitly stated as fixed in the patch notes - it only mentions the foul ball/home run bug specifically. Doesn't mean they didn't fix the warp too, I just wanted to point it out.
