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

WOW. i have read this whole thread. i guess its a good thing my ps3 broke down a month ago. im waiting until i get my new one gets here before i start a franchise. i pick the right roster to start my custom sounds too (4/20). yay me!

One thing I hope we learn from this, and possibly the developers. We tell them every year to load the game up with more and more and more code (and remember, things like shadowing is code). We want everything down to the last shoelace perfect in the game and we want every stat known to baseball included. This might be the time to rethink somethings in this regard. Perhaps next year we can hope that what they have given us to date is addressed before one new thing gets put in this wonderful game, and it IS a wonderful game.

Me personally, Knight's lineup fix does the trick and I'm gleefully getting started tomorrow when I get home. Have been playing franchise games with my friend up here in Escondido and we had some really fantastic games today.

That said, I hope what I've said it as least given some consideration. More is not always better.

im with u jim, all the way. people ask for all kinds of things and wonders how old stuff get overlooked and left broke. you cant just blame the testers either. everyone plays different.

Guys we have to remember it's just a video game, is it possible we are taking all this just a bit to seriously? I mean I know we want the best game possible but when you look at the total package it's still well worth the $60. We all have different things we like to get from a baseball video game but let's remember it's just a game.

Things I like about the patch are uneven trades, the hiring/firing of coaches, and the schedule fix. Those are some really nice improvements over what we had previously.

Now I did have my game crash on me right after the update but I tried it again and have had no problems. So it may happen periodically but as long as you make sure you save your work after each game I don't think it's a big issue.

Things I wish would have been fixed is the DL feature, the lineup glitch, and the historical stat glitch. Apparently they weren't able to fix them though so I'm fine with it. I'll work around it, I'll turn injuries off and even though that's a bit annoying to do I'll make the adjustment. I'll use Knight's rosters I had previously downloaded and that has all the minor leaguers and the correct lineups. I was even hoping for correctable uniform combinations even though I knew that probably wasn't going to be fixed. It's something that annoys me, I don't like seeing the wrong hats with the alternate uniforms but again I'll get over it. I'll overlook the stat glitch and a lot of the other window dressing problems this game has.

I paid $60 to enjoy this game and by george I'm going to do just that. When next year's game comes out I'll buy that one and hope that some of these issues have been addressed. This game though is the best game on the market and I'm going to enjoy it. I suggest everyone else do the same, it's not like the game is unplayable, just think how far these games have come. I remember a time when we didn't have baseball games nearly as good as this game, even with all it's issues.

GREAT POST!!

im gonna enjoy my 60 bucks as well. still a great game.

I am only concerned with the xmb crashes in franchise! I use knights latest w/stock fielder ratings. I could care less about lineups/stats bugs! I wanted the dl and trading bugs the most! If knights crashes me(offline) I will have to just use latest scea and do my own edits. I will miss the pitch edits the most! But tons of crashes can't be good for our ps3's in the long run!

I want to know if anything was done to fix the lack of user fielding errors in this game. I also want to know why the DH fatigue wasn't fixed.

If anyone can confirm the removal of the L2 button to steal while auto baserunning, it would be great. If they removed that feature I won't even download the patch and go through the trouble of a patch that offers next to nothing for me.

tried the L2 on auto baserunning, still works...
im sorry but this fix list is inacurate, i wish i could go back to v1.01...
im frustated with this to say the least...oh well, "keep walking"

Is deleting the patch a simple process? Just do it on xmb opening screen? Thanks

i was thinking about the same thing, its a simple process yeh, but the problem is that u will go back to v1.00 wich is the disk version, before the release day pacth, and i really dont know what that v1.01 update did, so im a bit skeptical in going back to v1.00 , i would like to go back to v1.01, but i dont think thats possible, since psn will now prompt u to download 1.06 not 1.01

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

Pre-Patch I had no issues with the wrong name being announced during batter walkup, the flash back replays (when they replay a HR from earlier in the game) worked perfectly, and the post game highlights worked as intended. Now after the patch, the wrong name is announced constantly and the flashback replays and post game highlights don't work period. Great patch, it fixed almost nothing, and broke even more.

Really? that sucks, why the sudden decision on this year's verison?

Yeah that's it the roster control fix is only for simulated games when you play game the screen will show the lineup as what you changed it to, but once you start the game the "cpu game time decisions logic" takes over. Which will default the lineup if you want to play with your edited lineup you must use the two controller work around.

Sounds good in theory, but if they don't have those "new" things to put on the back of the box, their marketing team has nothing to push... hence leaving us with the same game. Would you and I complain about that, OF COURSE NOT, but you know a lot of people would. Hell, they were complaining this year that SCEA didn't adapt 2k's right stick pitching and fielding. The core of the game, the gameplay, has never been an issue since I've been playing. The stuff this year is too hard to swallow, lineups are a huge part of the game as well as stats. It's mind blowing that this stuff was overlooked.

Let's be honest this is the best baseball game on the market and it's not even close. That being said, this years game from a pure baseball perspective (stats/lineups) is a disappointment.

Way over rated IMO, I have had 2k the last 3 years. Just got a PS3 and the show. NO contest, the Show blows that game out of the water

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

At this point I'd like to think the SCEA team is FRANTICALLY working on a way to at least save existing franchises. I will be the first to admit that there are a multitude of things I'd like to see fixed (lineup control, rotation control, stats etc), but first should be the ability to keep people's existing franchises and RTTS working.

Im "lucky" in the sense that I waited for the patch before i really started, but some people are 40-50 games in and having it crash on them. Thats not right imo.

Hopefully things get fixed for them (and I wouldnt mind a few items on my/others list either). Hang in there OS'ers

Completely overrated and stupid, but some people want something "new and exciting" every year. That is one of those things that the competition had, so naturally, people wanted SCEA to adopt it.

Players names not being called correctly in the audio. One specific item was Beltran being called Delgado and vice versa):

NO, THEY DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM
Delgado still being called as Beltran after out.

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

No post game high lights and replay vault is broken. This was with starting a new franchise after the patch.

I did not check exhibition, but franchise replays are all fouled up.

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

Sounds to me like we have alot of issues that weren't present now popping up. They might be minor to some but we now have::

- existing franchises crashing
- some are reporting no end of game highlights
- some are saying no flashback (mid-game) replays

Some items that were "fixed" aren't

- Roster control on, the lineups dont stick. only if you do it AFTER Spring Training (not from main menu)
- Announcing wrong names

This is in addition to some other items not being touched (DL - 60 day issue).

Ive already downloaded the patch (D'oh) and have no way back. I ahvent played a game yet as I was waiting to hear some definitive word on the rosters. Is there A) any chance something new is done (i.e. a patch for the patch) or B) someone can "upload" or send out version 1.01. I dont want 1.06 anymore........it makes me sad.

Hopefully SCEA is working towards getting this fixed. They've been nothing but professional and helpful thus far, I hope it continues.
