Yes, I am not happy about that. It should have been one of the easier things to include in the patch. I thought for sure it would have been added on the first franchise patch. With all of the things that needed patched this one barely scratched the surface.

The other thing that has been bothering me is SCEA's response to all of this. They are usually so good at interacting with their community and they have been largely silent and non-transparent about the many bugs. They have multiple twitch streams promoting the game but they cant release one quick video or twitch stream discussing the issues with the game. They have the reputation of the game on the line here and they now have the PR fallout from this whole debacle. I know for me, I get excited every year about a new version of The Show coming out. Next year I won't have the same excitement due to no matter what they add there will still be multiple bugs or design decisions that don't make any sense at all.

I would be reluctant to interact with the community when this type of vibe is going on in the community. I mean why try to explain anything to people who know everything?

Wasn't a big issue but looks like the caught stealing OSD bug may have been fixed. Before the patch i was still seeing it.

Because they dropped the ball here. The game is unpolished and filled with bugs that could have easily been caught with checking and testing the game before launch. It's not like the issues here require years of programming experience to understand.

So pleased i read this thread with the patch download on pause...deleted.

I love this game and SCEA as developers generally but even their most ardent fan would struggle to say that this years launch and subsequent attempts to patch the many issues has been anything short of disastrous and terrible PR for the company.

I wont be going anywhere near anymore patches until im totally certain it won't nerf my game.

Where IS the QA this year?

And you wonder why they aren't communicating with us.

Still no fix for CS overlay and 2 out defensive shift glitch. Amazing, they've been in there for 2 years and the latter forever

First of all lets keep this thread productive please... SCEA and the team with MLB TheShow have been as accessible and interactive with this forum and the players of the game for years. This patch has fixed quite a few things so to just sit and rip them apart is just being ridiculous. Yes there are online issues I get that but I am sure any issues they have they are diligently working to fix. Why don't we post the positives and the negatives from the patch here and see what they can do to help us move forward even further. I have total faith in the SCEA team to fix any issues they can and give us the game they want us to have.

The post above yours shows a fix for the CS overlay.

Because people are telling it like it is? Don't get me wrong, I'd pay double the price for the game. Overall it's excellent, but they should be a little embarassed given the sheer number of bugs.

How is calling someone lazy, or basically stupid telling it like it is?

You can talk about the issues of the game without the backhanded insults or attacks of a devs character or intelligence.

It doesn't appear stolen bases in manage mode was fixed. Oh well.

And what would communicating do?

Seriously? What could they say that would matter? If the patch is causing issues - talking won't fix it. Fixing the issues will fix it.

If they have a limited staff (not saying they do, don't know the size of the team but having played games from small devs makes me say this), I'd rather them putting all manpower on fixing things than trying to pat angry players on the head and soothe them...which isn't going to work because they, too, want issues fixed, not just words, which will just be considered "trying to spin, play PR, make it so we'll buy the next game" anyway...so what's the point?

I mean, if people just called you lazy, incompetent, stupid, can't program, don't know what you're doing, putting out a "disaster" of the game, what would YOU say to people like that, especially when you have a workload of trying to fix the things are indeed going awry with the game?

Hopefully we get another patch that will take care of the remaining issues. My biggest worry is that with each patch seemingly breaking something else, we will end up at a point where they say, "Sorry, is what it is, we have to transition to MLB 17, and can't spend more time fixing 16."

Hopefully they won't, but there will be a cutoff point that they have set internally that is precisely that. Work on patches for 16 other than rosters will cease, and all development time will move to 17. One of the pitfalls of a yearly release cycle. ( the bad you have to take with the good of a yearly release though! )

They have always been pretty good about making sure the current game is in good enough shape before moving on to next years game though, so...confidence high for now.

Yup. Exactly. Pretty much why they shouldn't say anything because there is nothing to say. They know the issues. They are going to try and fix them. Simple as that.
