Patch 1.13 out this morning

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

Well that is a pleasant surprise. The greatest sports game ever made just got even better.

And a shout out to SDS for either getting rid of or reducing the Judges chamber presentation in Yankee Stadium. It was constant and somewhere they patched it. I have not heard it in a long time (I am in August and did not hear to once in July). Wonder if they tuned the logic to trigger it only early in the season.

Will find out eventually.

Really happy to see those storylines updated. I do have Gary Sanchez in the Batting Title race and have Aaron Judge and Greg Bird in the HR title race.

Fun times.

You said it, I can't be the only one who played a certain 10 hour trial of another sports game that made me appreciate MLBTS even more than I already did.

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

That stinks. What's the point in updating rookie names if you're going to leave out two of the biggest ones? I'm still waiting for them to update the first base coach to Eric Young, too. IMO, that should have been done in April. Very disappointed.

I don't know if this is true, but I can't see them being able to schedule a recording session at this stage of the MLB season unless it was during the All Star break. Likely, they looked through their recorded data archive and patched in some names they hadn't previously included.

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

Hoping two other presentation issues were corrected:

1) There are times where the game flashes an overlay to show the starting pitcher comparison mid-way thru the game and instead of showing stats, it shows their bio.


2) As you get into your franchise the game will show an overlay for your minor league teams and someone who is playing well, but the stats and such are all jacked up and make no sense.

Cool. If someone hear something special let us know !

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

I'm bummed.

Took an early lunch to come home and see the update.

Acuna is not in.
Soroka is not in.
Gleyber is not in.

I'm not sure what names were added, but pretty disappointing that arguably the two biggest rookies didn't get names added.

Gleyber is in and I would assume so is Acuna.
However.....

1. You have to use the SCEA version of Gleyber (you can export him from SCEA's most recent roster update and import him into your rosters)
2. You HAVE to leave his First and Last Name Audio blank in the Edit Player screen, you can edit anything else but his name.
3. PA announcer will not say his name, but Matt Vasgersian will when he comes to bat.

#1 and #2 are important.
I would assume this would apply to all the other high profile rookies who made their debuts in 2018.

Can confirm Acuna PBP is in on SCEA's roster.

There's no way to get that into an existing franchise is there?

I was worried that might be the case. Thanks for checking it out.

I did one test AB for each and the PA announcer used the number, but Matt never referenced them. If I had done another at-bat, I may have heard it.

Still a bummer since I was hoping I could assign audio to the player I edited into Acuna into my franchise. I'm too deep to start over.

I don't believe so. Even with CPU Roster Control on (which is something you had to enable at the very start of a franchise), you can't import once it starts, only export.

Yeah, the longer explanation and reason it works the way I outlined is for carry over saves. The idea is if you start a franchise with Acuna (or Gleyber, or whoever) using the SCEA version, when you carry your franchise over to MLB The Show 19, the game will be smart enough to recognize that the Acuna that shipped with the game in '19 is the same player that was added to MLB 18 by SCEA.

So when you carry over your franchise all stats accumulated by the '18 SCEA version of Acuna will be displayed correctly against the '19 in-game version of Acuna (the version that shipped with the game). Naturally, you will benefit from having his picture, storylines, added quirks, etc...

Basically it is a way of tying together an SCEA created player, with the version of that player that will ship with the game in future versions.

All of that trumps (unfortunately) your use case of not being able to import him into your franchise.

That's what I thought.

Thanks for the answer bcruise.

That makes sense for the carry-over.

I jotted down Acuna's attributes from the official roster and then edited him into my franchise. I understand in SCEA's view, my Acuna isn't the "real" Acuna, and I'm OK with that. That's why I was hoping they could patch in the audio of "Acuna" and I could just give my version his name. I don't care about storylines, but it would be nice to hear "at-bat, Ronald Acuna" instead of "number 13."

If Madden (and SCEA apparently) can do commentary updates during the season, I have to think it's possible to add names to the editor.

Ultimately though, I'd love for their to be a way to import players into existing franchises. Give me the option to overwrite an existing generated player with one from the latest roster. Then I'd have the "real" Acuna in my franchise. But, I imagine, that's easier said that done to program.

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

Limitations aside, this is a pretty interesting step that I doubt many of us saw SDS taking based on past history - calling the commentary gang back down to San Diego. I agree that it was probably done during the all-star break - it's likely the only time they would have been free to do it.

The patch was only about 300 MB so I doubt it was a huge amount of audio recorded, but it's always good to hear things that are fresh and new.

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

I just uploaded SCEA’s Acuna & copied over the face from OSFM so you get his commentary as well, under my PSN Domi_Lindo

So, are you saying that there IS Acuna audio? No more "now batting, number 13"?

Re: Patch 1.13 out this morning

Just downloaded it, AUDIO is blank.

If by audio being blank you mean the First and Last Name audio fields in the Edit Player screen....this is the way its supposed to be. See previous posts for explanation.
