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

I agree with you. I have both systems and i agree that SCEA does a way better job at Baseball games, but i just wanted them to know how i felt about all these glitches that's all. They said they fixed the
line-up glitch, but it's still there. All i want is that they really fix these issues.

I didn't quote you because you were stating your beef....I just quoted you because I did the same thing as you....bought the ps3 for this game.

I was just trying to point out that at this point Scea knows they really dropped the ball, however, even with the issues, it's still a top notch baseball sim.

Russell,

I don't know if this helps you, but with CPU roster control ON, you set your lineups, and it is the end of spring training that scrambles the lineups again before the season starts. (It appears the CPU is trying to decide which lineup is best again on its own, so if you could "turn that decision making off", it may be a way to fix the problem.

If you then go in and redo the CPU lineups, it will mostly stick for simmed games (when you check the box scores they are correct now), but not for played games as I mentioned to you before in my PM and post. You have to use 2 controllers to get around it as mentioned to you before.

Some have reported if there is then player fatigue, the CPU will try to decide on its own again how to set the lineups and not go by the CPU roster control lineup settings the user puts in. I have not personally seen it, but it seems logical.

You responded that the computer is making its game time decision. Maybe you guys can turn that game time decision off completely somehow when CPU roster control is ON. There is no need for it on this mode.

Pitching Rotations stick in both CPU roster control on and off

FYI, you still need to log into Sports Connect (the workaround) to get the SCEA 4/20 roster to be career stat glitch free if you load it from your HDD. If you don't log into SC, people like A-rod still have 0 HRs and such.

The 4/27 roster is fine even without logging into Sports connect to load it the second time after your PS3 is off. But, what will happen next week after the next SCEA roster is released? It may then need the workaround to have correct career stats if you don't already have the franchise saved. (save franchises everyone) It would be ideal if you didn't need the workaround, but it is still is doable.

Some people have replay problems, but I don't. Why some people do and some don't I am not sure about. I am using a brand NEW franchise with 4/27 rosters FYI.

The things I posted here I tested extensively. I am not sure about the other stuff not posted. Hope some of this helps you guys. Thanks, brotha

We know about the roster control issue its the RTTS, and Franchise crashes along with the replay issues I'm looking to get more info on.

Good to hear you're researching. I had a list on page #43 of this thread if that helps. Fistofrage said he started a new 2 team franchise with 4/27 rosters and is getting no replays or flashbacks.

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

I just noticed something interesting. I loaded a franchise I was playing before the patch and just noticed the Cubs' afternoon home games were corrected IN MY PRE-PATCH FRANCHISE!

This was the first time I've tried loading the old franchise, and I've played two games, so no crashing experiences for me.

To be sure, I compared my post-patch franchise with my pre-patch franchise, and in both, the Cubs have 11 afternoon games (1:05) next month, 10 in July, etc.

I forgot to add that besides the replays not showing at the end of the game, the replay vault is fouled up. If you choose a replay, it only shows the last play of the game and it only shows the batter, no fielder and it looks like PS1 graphics.

Show me evidence that DHs play more games than position players? If DHs didn't fatigue in this game, they would be playing in too many games. Yes, managers rest players at DH, but the Show could not incorporate this unless DHing was equivalent to a day off. If this was programmed, DHs would always have perfect fatigue and would be playing in too many games in a season. There's no "DH bug" because it works in the game as the programmers intended.

You've got to be one of the most disagreeable chaps here.

It (DH fatigue issue) doesn't bother me much, but you're missing one important point they make however, the DH's tire much more than the guys that play the field. How do you sweep that one under the rug?

The only idea I have to "fix" this one is to change all DHs stamina to 100 or close to it. How does that work out?

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

Russel, simple question, objective...just so i and other people dont get high hopes and can move along...

Is there any possible chance of a new pacth??or is this 09 cycle done??(thats my guess) I ask that becasue i cant remember SCEA coming up wiht more than 2 pacthes in any of the past years.

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

I have a Cardinals franchise that I started pre-patch with Ridin's latest roster last week, and it worked fine after the patch last night. The relief pitcher's innings pitched was correct, I had post-game replays, and I even checked the Cubs schedule and saw more day games, all with no problems.

With all of the problems others have had though, I'm a bit worried about continuing. I'm only 7 games in, so it might be easier to start over and not have to worry about it than have to worry about getting farther in and losing all of my work. For the people who had the crash, did it happen as soon as you started post-patch, or could you play a few games without a problem?

yeh, i thought about that work around too...
but the issue would still remain to me since i would like to use the DH position to rest(or tire less) players like the real A's do...
they DH giambi once in a while to rest his legs, move Cust to the Rf and put nomar at 1B..

Yes, same here, only in season mode (like I said upthread). The schedule fix was evidently a global thing, and not just a fix to any new franchises out there.

OK. I wish I could help you there, but I don't play RTTS (don't even know most of the issues there), and have had no franchise crashes or replay issues. The only thing that has happened to me (but, it may be an isolated incident) is that when I was editing the rosters (outside of franchise) from 4/27 last night, the PS3 rebooted on me. This happened 2 times. After I completely shut off my PS3, it never happened again.

(FYI: I deleted the game, all old saves, and patch entirely yesterday and reloaded all of it.)

So does this mean that something might be done about the problems everyone's experiencing with another patch, or that it will be fixed for next year's game? Just wondering, like everyone else on here. Thanks for actually taking time to read these and responding.

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

I couldn't read through all of this thread, so people that had the RTTS problem with the September date, are going to have to start over. Is it fixed for people who yet one?

Brunnoce, that's a great point that didn't even occur to me.
