Yup long as you use the new rosters it should be fine. All the old rosters are "contaminated" that's why Knight and others have to re-do them.

Thanks for your response, brotha.

EDIT: These rosters are using Knights fix for the lineup issue and a workaround that was used to fix the historical stats glitch. These rosters using the 3/7 roster update.

It also DOES NOT have all the FA roster moves(Pudge is still a FA and Sheff is still on Tigers) nor any real minor leaguers except for the Cards and a sprinkle of others, but you can make those moves prior to starting a franchise or add in the minor leaguers as you see fit.


If this doesn't work, please let me know.

Ok has anyone else wondered if they fixed the Comeback issue?

Here we go! I've got my popcorn ready for this one.

Re: New Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion

Not sure on the tone of your post since its tough to gauge on a message board. Are you asking because you werent aware you could do this from the start or are you basically saying that you are still able to do this after the patch? Previously you would press L2 and your runner would take off on the pitch and it took into account your baserunners speed and steal ability, and it was nice to use when you wanted to hit and run without having to worry about the baserunning otherwise.

At this point Im just not going to download the patch, it didnt accomplish anything that helps me at all and I dont want this feature to vanish, nor do I want my franchise crashing so I dont think Im going to be taking any chances.

More of a stupid question as before and after the patch I can still hit and run or steal with L2 with auto BR on.
I mean did anyone test this or just bitch about it as it still works for me ?

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

I think you guys are confusing contaminated "game crashing" with contaminated "stats glitch". I think he's just saying that no matter when, where, or how Knight's rosters are loaded (ie. thumbdrive, roster vault, etc.) they will have the stats glitch from here on out. In that regard, there's no point in having them on the RV (and they might not even be usable from the RV with whatever coding the new glitchless rosters use). If we're at a point where old rosters break the game, there is a MUCH larger problem at hand, lol.

Ok, maybe Im getting myself confused but the way I saw it was that Knights rosters would no longer work with the game coupled with the patch and therefor I was either going to be stuck playing the game without the patch using his roster or not using his roster but having the patch, is this not correct then? If its just the stat glitch, which I would assume is the career stat glitch thats been mentioned consistently, then Im fine as using the workaround that was posted somewhere deep in the roster sub-forum I have career stats anyways but at the same time Im not using the full minors as I started awhile ago with his initial roster release.

I just tried the to lead off and steal when auto baserunning is on and I was able to do so as the user. I tried to do so when the CPU had baserunners and nothing happened. Now I know Russell's list stated that L1 or L2 would not work if you or the CPU had baserunners on, however, the message on SportsConnect said it that it would not work if the CPU had baserunners but nothing about the user. That could have been just less detailed but for those of you that thought that you could no longer be able to steal when using auto baserunning, I just tried several times and it worked every time.

Edit: This also worked for dorismary, so either they meant to fix this and did not or it was misstated in the list of the actual fix.

EDIT....

I hope this works.

May I ask who's roster this is?

Sorry, haven't read the entire thread but does this fix the glitch where your RTTS player won't come to the plate for training, when doing the batting pratice drill? Or is there a fix for that? I've posted this in both the glitch thread and the RTTS thread will out much help. It worked fine for my first two months of the season and now everytime I enter the training, my player never shows up in the box.

Well I havent checked yet because I have to do a few things for Noahs fantasy baseball league first but when I read that they took this feature out I assumed that they did exactly what they stated they did. If in the end its still there and I can still use it then thats perfect for me and I have nothing to complain about. You cant fault someone for seeing a list of changes and complaining about something like this prior to checking as generally you assume they did everything that they posted they did.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

I've read a number of pages, but not this full thread. I've seen a reference to this patch actually causing a crashing/freezing of a franchise? Can someone confirm if this is the case, or an isolated incident? The benefit from the patch (based on what I gather) just isn't worth the risk to my franchise/season if this is true.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

May I ask who's roster this is?

this is Knights rosters using the SCEA update from 3/7 or 3/8. I then used the workaround at the time to cure the historical stats glitch.

This is what I've been using and haven't had any issues with the lineups or whatnot. There are no real minor leaguers in this update, except for the Cards and a sprinkle of others.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

Here is what I was talking about guys, Russell states that they are contaminated and Knight would have to re-do them. Now how would loading from a thumb drive (usb drive) solve this? I would assume that if this was a solution then not only would Russell state this but he wouldnt mention anything about Knight having to re-do them nor would Knight be saying how it sucked. All signs on my end point to the rosters being in some sort of "incompatible" position and not being able to be used thanks to something being changed within the way the game utilizes the roster feature. If thats correct and those that are experiencing crashes are using custom rosters from before then maybe this "incompatible" or "contaminated" roster issue is causing it. In the end Im just speculating but it all makes sense to me atleast.

I believe he's using the term "contaminated" to solely describe the "stat glitch", nothing else.

What about the ONLINE DISCONECT TRAFFIC DELAY ISSUE....did they resolve this? The Patch explanation doesnt clarify if they patched this or only attempted to. Sounds vague!

Exactly, The Chef is reading waay too much into his statement. Chef, that's why he put "contaminated" in quotes, lol.

I started a franchise today no problem, and it didn't freeze when I simmed. Granted, I did not play a game, but it's fine I tell ya. You just won't have correct historical stats with Knights or Ridins.

Thanks, thats what its starting to sound like to me as well, I just wish they would take a little more time to fully explain things instead of leaving some things up for debate as it would go a long ways to solving some of the questions posed in this thread so far.

I just tried the to lead off and steal when auto baserunning is on and I was able to do so as the user. I tried to do so when the CPU had baserunners and nothing happened. Now I know Russell's list stated that L1 or L2 would not work if you or the CPU had baserunners on, however, the message on SportsConnect said it that it would not work if the CPU had baserunners but nothing about the user. That could have been just less detailed but for those of you that thought that you could no longer be able to steal when using auto baserunning, I just tried several times and it worked every time.

Edit: This also worked for dorismary, so I think people overreacted before it was actually tested.

Thanks for testing it. In the end, if you dont have the patch you cant play online correct? Are there any other things that I cant do if I dont download the patch? I dont play online at all so not having it makes no difference to me and hearing people mentioning their game crashing leaves me rather hesitant to download it at this point.
