Re: MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

Your rosters are based on a March update, the one Knight put out correct? Before they fixed the stat workaround?

Hoping to get some patch info soon!!

Correct. They also have the FA moves done that took place at that time and they have the Cards minor league organization done, although a few changes were made.

EDIT: My rosters DO NOT have the stat glitch. Players have their corrected career stats.

The biggest moves I don't have are Sheff to the Mets nor Pudge to the Astros, but you can move those yourself before starting a franchise.

from what i understood as soon as someone downloads it from the vault it will have the stat glitch...
the only way around that would be u uploading it here and people trasnfering to their ps3 via flashdrive....
seems the glitch happens once u get (old based)rosters from the vault.

i could be wrong though...but thats what i gathered from that issue.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

So if you use default rosters you don't have the historical stat glitch?

Yes, Brunnoce, I think you're right about that.

The only one that doesn't have the stat glitch is the newest one or any roster (that was saved stat glitch free) that you upload here using a USB drive and not connect to SC (that didn't have the stat glitch already (Wookies in one example). That is why everyone was saving franchises using Ridins rosters before the newest SCEA roster came out. Once the newest SCEA roster came out (4/20 one) came out Ridin's rosters created the week before turned into a pumpkin and got the stat glitch. If you saved a Franchise when the stats glitch wasn't there, then the career stats are fine.
The Franchises I saved for the 4-14 SCEA roster update are fine since i saved them last week before the 4-20 release.

I hope everyone can follow that whole convoluted tale.
So, basically, once you get any roster created before 4/20 (the day SCEA released its latest official roster) on the Vault by connecting to Sports Connect, it turns into a stat-glitch pumpkin. If you get one saved stat glitch free by using a USB drive, then it will remain stat glitch free.

So, CB, I am pretty sure your rosters will get glitched up once they enter SC. I will try it tonight to confirm, but I am pretty sure about it based on my previous tests. You should put a link to them in the roster thread. As long as no one enters SC before they load your rosters (which you saved stat glitch free), your rosters will be fine. That is what Wookie did, and he doesn't have the glitch.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

Actually, it's only been a little over 2 weeks since Russell posted that they were working on a patch (April 7). Not that I pretend to know what's involved with patching a game (especially one as extensive as The Show), but I would think that 2 weeks is virtually nothing. I would imagine that just creating the patch is a lengthy process in and of itself. Then it must be extensively tested to make sure the fixes actually work and that it doesn't inadvertently create any new problems. We must also consider that if they do find a problem during the testing process, then it's back to the drawing board to try and fix it. I wouldn't expect SCEA to give updates beyond it's being worked on & tested. They are not going to tell us what they are attempting to fix until it is indeed working properly. Otherwise they might be making promises that they ultimately may be unable to keep. As much as we all are eagerly awaiting the patch, I would rather they spend a long time on it so that when it finally does come out it's worth the wait, rather then rush something out that isn't very substantial. I'm not trying to lecture or anything, but I just wanted to add a little perspective as we are all chomping at the bit to see what the patch will fix.

Yes, I just want some sort of target date, but maybe they have no idea. I also understand that many here are unreasonable and if they don't make that target date, those people will have a hissy fit, so that is probably why they don't want to give us a timetable. It's a lose/lose situation for them either way.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

You know I was just thinking to myself that it is sad that this stat glitch, and lineup issue has detracted so much from what I consider otherwise to be the greatest baseball game ever made, and I have played practically every baseball video game ever made, and even worked on a few. They have all had their glitches and problems.
Even with these problems, it is hands down still the best video baseball game to me. (I don't play RTTS, so I can't comment on whatever is wrong with that. I agree with Rudy about the fielding errors (lack of them and not counting some correctly), but personally I can live with that.)

Re: MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

Wait a minute.....There was a roster released on 4/20 by Sony that is Historical Stat glitch free? Can someone confirm this? If thats the case.....Franchise here I come.


I think I'm using the 4/13 roster set and its glitchy as all get out.

Yes, definitely somewhere around that date give or take a day. That's why Ridin's rosters have the stat glitch now if you get them from the vault because they were released before this latest SCEA roster update.

I have started several franchises and saved them just in case, and they are all stat glitch free. I went in and looked at everyone, A-rod, Pujols, Smoltz, Zambrano, Holliday, Giambi, Billy Wagner, you name them and compared their historical stats to the yahoo website that has historical stats. They were all correct.

Why do I not want to use it? Because I would have to put in a ton of work myself to put in on the players I want in there, and I don't have enough time.

Fistofrage, also bear in mind that once they release their next roster update, this one may turn into a pumpkin if you connect to sports connect (my SCEA 4/14 ones have the glitch this week and didn't last week after I connected to SC). Make sure you save a few franchises you may want to use with different teams.
Also, you may have to connect to sports connect so the newest database information gets applied before loading your 4/20 rosters if you power down your machine (the work around). Just check to make sure they are correct before starting a franchise if you turned off your machine and then want to reload those 4/20 rosters. Know what I mean?

Oh by the way, I am just saying that the career stats are fine at the start of your franchise. I don't know if they will stay that way.

I say this because I used the 4/13 SCEA rosters and they were fine in the beginning when I checked out most of the major players, but then after a few games, it said C. Villanueva broke the all time saves record or something like that, so I don't know what happened. When I reloaded the first franchise file, he was back to his real numbers, so go figure.
This could happen to the newest one too, I haven't played enough with it yet to know for sure.
When you say glitchy as all get out, do you mean it was wrong from the start for you, or that it "went bad" on you like it did to me?
