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

so i don't feel like going through all the posts but from what i have read it seems the patch actually hurt the game more than helped. If so is there going to be a second patch to fix the problems with the first patch?

Actually, this was the second patch. There already was a first patch, so any future patch would actually be a third patch designed to fix the second patch, which does not relate to the actual first patch that commonly gets confused with the second patch which is thought of as the first patch.

Got it?

No worries - this thread is so convoluted that you would never be able to find anything in it anyway.

You have the dreaded franchise freeze. Check out this thread

Basically, your best option is probably to delete the patch, if you want to continue your franchise. There is a thread on the first page about deleting the patch if you want to check that out. SCEA is looking into the problem, but it will be a while I'm sure to get a fix, if they can fix it.

Your other option is to start a new franchise but there have been people that have the patch that are having issues with the replay show.

Thanks for the help!!

I have the second patch and have experienced none of the issues a few have reported. I recommend downloading it and trying it for yourself and then if need be you can delete it.

After reading this thread I'm glad I stuck with MVP on the PC. Not a gripe on anyone or anything. Just confirms I made the right decision.

Does diving to the left or right with the Right stick even work? This is how it worked in MVP 05 and I loved it, but I haven't been able to get it to work in The Show. Are you sure this works?

Maybe I have the wrong setting or something....

LOL, I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that IF it would function in that way it would be better. As it stands, MLB 09 will only dive if you press the analog right stick (R3) south (down) which to me is "unnatural".

It sounds like you made the wrong decision three years in a row to me.

Ah. I see. So if I'm moving my infielder to the left and want to dive to the left, I push the right stick down and he will dive to the left?

That will feel a bit unnatural as I would assume that he would dive straight down. If that is how it works I guess the premise is that pushing it down will always make the player dive in the direction that he is running in (e.g. down, left, right) and pushing up will always make him jump. Am I getting close?

Please re read my post I mention nothing about gameplay thanks

You stated that the players ran more fluid and rounded the bases better. Thats gameplay related is it not. . .

Bingo!!! I use that method. Puch right analog down to dive, either left or right, the CPU will dive in the right direction. Puch up on the right analog to jump for the ball. Hope this helps!!!

If I made the wrong decision, it sure feels right! MVP on the PC is amazing because the community (ie. YOU AND ME) have made it what it is and edited it. I'm not waiting on patches by developers..LOL!

Well that will save me a lot of headaches. Thanks guys. All this time I have been trying to dive by pressing 12 different buttons while standing on my head. This will make it much easier.

As a person who modded MVP 05... (if you were into the modded version of MVP 05 on the PC you may remember me from MVPMods.com website) I have nothing to say but glowing things about MVP 05 on the P.C. ESPECIALLY because of the flexibility that allowed one to get into the guts of the game & almost become a programmer of the game. (not sure how much EA appreciated this)

However the MLB series on the PS3 is also a great game despite it's flaws. There is a tremendous fun factor in this game. Personally I don't play franchise or Road to the show. But I do play a 2 player season against a friend (he comes over to my house where we play on my PS3) & we both have derived hours of enjoyment from this game.

In conclusion, both are great games but MLB series is current whilst MVP is past. I still have MVP on my computer but the truth is I have not played it in a while because of my enjoyment of the MLB series.

Play around the bases like, liners , 1b going to tag the bag player movement ect :wink: Nevermind as more are bitching than actually trying it .
