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

Yes.....I would rather play The Show, with all it's bugs and lineup issues, because it is the BEST baseball sim out today, and maybe the best ever. The only one that comes close is MVP 05.

Of course, I'm frustrated just like you Guru, everyone is, but just because I, or we stick by the game doesn't make us apologist. Personally, I stick with this game and choose not to go on and on about what doesn't work because, like I said, nothing even comes close to it as far as actual gameplay and realism.

See, the thing at this point is, there is nothing that can change or fix the issues at hand. Obviously, they tried and it didn't work. But IMO, after my initial disappointment and getting my frustrations out last night, I played a game and realized again why I love this game so much. It did, and does for me what I want my games to do for me and that is to give me a chance to pass my time in a fun way. Even with all the bugs and glitches, it still does that.

So, if you really love baseball and really want to play a realistic baseball video game, you will grab one of these beautiful rosters Knight did and start your franchise. I think the Scea team understands their errors and we will all have an even better experience next year.

Blatantly? OK! Well, I don't play RTTS, and many others here don't either. For the ones that don't, when we press R2 to look at the schedules, it would crash to the XMB.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be a jerk - it just happens (kind of annoyed with everything today and yesterday)

There were several guys yesterday who were in franchises that were crashing and they weren't pressing R2 either.

I just don't want SCEA to think that the R2 issue is the only problem.

Sounds like the patch has created more issues than it fixed? I haven't downloaded it yet and I'm not sure that I'm going to. From what I'm gathering, Russell claims that certain issues such as stamina, lineup, and incorrect name issues were addressed and everyone else says that they weren't? Could it be possible that there was a problem with the patch and that somehow everyone downloaded a corrupted version?

I haven't read the entire thread, but people that start clean(no prior saved data or game data on their hd) are they experiencing these same problems?

CB
I started my first franchise yesterday as I've been playing RTTS workin on gettin those trophies. I had NO prior franchise save. I deleted my old settings, rosters, sliders and completely started from scratch as the stuff I was using was entielry meant for RTTS. I'm pretty happy with how it plays out of the box with the exception of strike % which I lower all the way down.

So even post patch this was plan, lucky me I guess. Mind you I'm not a roster guy, control guy, I don't care about who bats where unless it is my own team. The stat historical stat glitch bugged me but I DL'ed the new scea rosters and it's all good.

I played 4 games last night and had zero problems. No crashing, replays worked, even the my soundtrack stuck. It was only 4 games but I'm keepin my fingers crossed it stays the same.

Guys, I bought The Show 09 and have yet to open it. I've been reading all the posts about the patch and doesn't sound good. I'm not willing to go through all these work arounds, just to get things to work. Will this game work with a new install with SCEA's newest roster? Should I keep it or exchange it for another sports game. I have NBA 2K9 for the PS3 already.

Its still a good game of baseball. You shouldn't have any crashes or historical stat glitches if you start up a regular franchise. You may not get replays.

If you do RTTS, you may want to read some of this first, I don't play it so I can't speak to it.

You'll still get alot of enjoyment out of it. But if some of the mentioned problems in this thread will gnaw at you, you may want to get a different game.

Honestly I say open it and enjoy. You can see what I wrote in response to Countyboy's question. The roster control guys are a bit ticked, rightfully so, but I'm not that type of player. I just care about my own team. If that's how you play then open it up Dl all the new stuff, rosters, patch, etc.. and you should enjoy it. The game is incredible. I feel very fortunate that I waited because it really is a new game to me as I only played RTTS JUST for the trophies LOL. I never played that mode until this year as I'm a minor trophy ho and wanted them.

So I think for those who have not started or are just now buying it they won't see the issues. It just bytes for those who are so far into their seasons that have to start all over agian.

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

Hey guys,

I saw the list of fixes and changes to the game that come with the patch on the first page. I was wondering if there had been any gameplay tweaks or changes due to the patch? (i.e. hitting easier or more difficult, CPU pitchers throw more balls on default settings).

I know no such changes are mentioned, but I just wanted to make sure because I loved the gameplay pre-patch.

Thanks in advance!

I played 3 games last night on my franchise file....I was in the postseason....In 2010...no problems...

No worries. I'm not upset. I just thought it was an odd word to choose.

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

Hey guys,

I have a quick question about the patch.

A couple days ago I read a post about a glitch during RTTS where you weren't supposed to do hitting practice during the month of September? Does anyone know about this? Is this still an issue? I tried finding the original thread but couldn't. I skipped the one or two batting practices I got in September just to be sure.

The other day though, my guy got injured and went on the 60 day DL. When I came back, the AAA schedule was over and I was pulled up to the majors. The first game I was supposed to play had no image for the pitcher. I played it and it got stuck on the loading screen. I reloaded my save and tried again, same thing. To get around this, I had to sim that game and then play the game after that had the pitchers faces and it worked fine. Just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else saw this before.

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

Hey guys I got the patch yesterday as well ,and Im playing with an old franchise I have. I have played two games after the patch and have had no problems.

I Actully got to take two videos at the end which for the last few games I had to exit out with none because it messed up. I am using the second roster set I think or the first that came out on the update. But so far for me no problems.

I havent tried any of my RTTS yet so I dont know if they will crash or not.
