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

I downloaded the patch last night. It did get the franchise crash to XMB with my previous saved franchise. So, I just restarted my franchise. I was only 20 games in so it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

I had to go through the whole assigning walk-up and music to the players again. I actually had to do it twice. I forgot about the base coaches being wrong if you don't go into SC first.

So, just a little FYI...if you are starting a new franchise make sure you go into SC first before you start your franchise with loaded rosters, otherwise you will have some generic base coaches. The only ones I checked for were Dave Clark for the 'stros; Davy Lopes, and Perlozza for the Phils.

EDIT: After starting a new franchise there were no problems. Highlights were there, flashbacks were there. I play with CPU Roster control off, because the lineup thing really doesn't bother me. I began my new franchise with Knight's FM V.2. So, I think it has the lineup fix anyway.

Ok, I've read through about 5 pages of this, but now I'm getting a bit nervous...

I am 121 games into the first season of my Indians franchise. I downloaded the patch yesterday, and it loaded up and I played my first game, no problem. Saved it afterwards, no problem. I did notice, though, that the post game highlights did NOT work, but there was a "flashback" to a Russell Branyan home run.

I guess I'm wondering, those who were having the "crashing" glitch with the franchise with this patch, how quickly did you notice it? Did you play any games, or was it doing it before you could play a game?

This is kind of upsetting...I really REALLY don't want to lose 121 games of progress...

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!

Once again...it is NOT the roster...it is your franchise save.

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

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

Brunnoce,

I think patch 1.01 addressed online issues if I remember correctly.

Edit: This is all I could find about Patch 1.01 from one of the SCEA guys Russell_SCEA I think:
"Re: 1.01 patch..what does this do?
<hr style="color: rgb(57, 57, 57);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> This patch was made to fix issues we found before the game shipped. I'll see if I can get a list of what it fixed, but I wouldn't count on it."

No list then was ever posted that I could find. There was speculation about the ticker and some people mentioned check swings (may have been placebo effect?)





If someone did not download the newest patch (1.06) yet, but have the other patch (1.01), then possibly they could put the Game Data Utility information on a USB drive, zip it, and post it so that you could get patch 1.01 back. It is around 2604 MB.

What I usually do on the Xbox 360 is use the xport to save the title updates (patches) on my computer. That way, if I don't like the new patch, I can put the old one back on (of course you can't play online then on the 360). I considered saving that PS3 game data utility information yesterday, but did not, and upgraded to the patch already.
Having said that, I haven't had too many problems except my PS3 did reboot a couple of times last night when I was looking at rosters. I shut it down completely, and then did not have the problem again at all.

For those people that have already downloaded the patch and are having problems (other than franchise freezes with existing franchises) this is what I would do: Delete your GAME data utility (don't delete SAVE data utility or you will lose your saves like rosters) by selecting it and pressing the triangle, then choose delete. You then can reinstall the patch (if you want it, if not you will go back to the out of the box version, but remember there was another version 1.01 that had some fixes, I think mostly online, you'll have to look back and check) and the game to your HDD when you put the game disc in.
I actually did this yesterday, but I did it because I was hoping that is why the patch wasn't "working" (I was trying everything, lol) (CPU lineups, etc.). Maybe that is why I am not seeing some of the problems (crashes, videos not working, EDIT: I haven't actually looked about the replays, so I'm not sure about it yet) some people are reporting . Just a thought, it probably won't make a difference though, but may be worth a shot in the meantime for some.

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

This is blatantly incorrect.

It has nothing to do with R2. This is what is happening in my RTTS:

I played a game Sunday night and it was the first game of a series against Seattle (I'm on the Padres). After the game, I saved and quit.

Monday I fire up the game and install the patch and I go into my RTTS and "Sim to next Appearance". I played a game and went back to the schedule screen. It was then that I noticed that the game I had played Sunday night, didn't have a score on the schedule. I try to scroll over using the left stick or the dpad and when my cursor went over the game, the system crashed.

I tried this at least 6 times with the same results everytime. I also tried using older save files (I have about 20 of them) and all the ones I tried were corrupted.

It has nothing to do with R2 and to answer a previous poster, yes I was able to play a game prior to the crash. I uninstalled the patch, reinstalled the game and it works fine now - just without patch 1.01 which as far as most people can tell, didn't do a whole lot anyway.

You are the first guy to say you are having the highlight/replay problems in a NEW franchise...is that correct?

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

It looks like any type of mode save is not working with the patch(sorry to be Capt. Obvious) which I fully understand blows...but at least it's the fun part you get to do over starting from scratch!

Fist read my post about how to delete the Game data utility information just a few posts back, and try that. It may help. Don't delete your save data utility info or you will lose all your saves.
You will just have to redownload the patch and game to your hdd. Worth a shot, imo.

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

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.

But we have CPU Roster Control ON. Which means we should control the CPU Roster. That game time decision stuff should just be turned off when we have CPU Roster Control On. I thought that's what the patch would fix.

I shouldn't have to buy another controller just so I don't get silly lineups. I'm playing the Angels and they have Vlad batting 9th, Abreu batting 6th, and Juan Rivera hitting 3rd. Come on.

I also don't get post game highlights anymore, and I can't use the replay vault. Who tested this patch? Bozo the Clown.

I'm just going to delete this patch, it's causing me more problems than I had before.

Doc--

Will you have to reload your music and re-do your chants too if you delete 1.06 from Game data?

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

So let me get this straight from the show apologist. Every sports game like madden, nba 2k, nba live, ncaa football all get bashed and huge list of ideas for next years game is created. but scea puts out a game with a lot og bugs that clearly affect not only knights great and detail work but schedules are messed up dl issues and stamina issues and crahsed franchises and a lot of other things like having to have 2 controllers to get something to work. and people want to defend the game by calling it just a video game and we should take it for what is worth. sorry but it was worth a lot to many who plucked down to also get a ps3 just for this game. you cant say that we should not ask for new things in future games just because they should worry about the issues that are there now and if we ask for to much they might forget. that is b.s and they make millions of the customer and we should expect a working product and for thr game to improve every year. if not them dont make the game and just do roster updates.

the game is very good but it has gameplay flaws and these bugs...i wanna see these same apologist just say that the other sports games are just video games and be so care free

Don't know about chants, but if you delete 1.06, it deletes all your marks in your custom music.

EDIT: Someone else said that it deleted their info for music, so you may not want to do this, sorry.

EDIT: Just want to clarify, that I actually haven't looked to see if my replays are working yet, so it is possible they aren't working. Sometimes I skip through this for time reasons, so they may not be working for me too.
