That is it. At least on my system. I tested for about 6 hours last night.

For all of you getting replays - What system do you have?

Not sure if it is system related or not. However, I have NOT had an issue on either one of my systems (a launch 60GB and a 80GB MGS4 Bundle) - both have backwards compatibility, but I doubt if that matters either. I am getting replays/flashbacks in all my games so far, regardless of I use relievers or not, or skip a few innings, or sim a game in between.

I am about to sim forward to May 8 in my Tigers franchise, to see if I have the same issue as the other guy with the Tigers' franchise. Anyway, for me, there's been no issues post-patch.

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

The first game I played post patch, I used 3 relievers, and still had post game highlights. The second game, I used 2 relievers, and didn't have post-game highlights.

Well, there goes that.

Guys....the only thing effected in the roster is the historical stats.
NOTHING ELSE...
You can use them in any way, shape or form....You can use them in season, in practice, in franchise. You can use them for exhibition, for quick games for RTTS.
You can play them in your sweat pants...your skivvies.......in the suit that God gave you while drinking a mint julip and eating grapes.
Holy heck what would you guys do in a real emergency!!

I can't believe I actually feel bad like somehow all this added pressure on SCEA is caused by me. I cannot however start these rosters over again just to rid them of the stat glitch. Just can't do it.
Sorry.

Noone takes the time to just try things....I loaded up my pre-patch season using your rosters and everything's fine. My house didn't blow up, my dog didn't get sick...nothing happend...

I think its fair to say that it would be a real shame if the game would be left in the state as it is now post recent patch. No replays, no highlights, no flashbacks, replay vault not working etc. Heck, I can't even log on to sportsconnect now without at least dozen or so attempts. Ugh!
I think the devs most definately understand this situation is unsustainable.

SCEA San Diego: If a new patch is not an option for you for any reason (timetable, budget etc.), just release the previous working patch again to wipe out this "funky one" so at least we can play this wonderful game as it was, for the most part, intended. Fair? Thank you!

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

This morning I tried loading up the latest stock roster set from SCEA this past Monday and I didn't log onto SportsConnect (or whatever it is called) hoping that some combination like this might make the Highlights work, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Oh well. If this issue is widespread I can't see SCEA not doing something about it. Either coming up with a workaround or another patch. This is a big part of each game u play, and I can't see it not getting fixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Later

I have the 80GB MGS4 bundle, and I've had the replay issue. It's not a game breaking glitch for me, but it is disappointing that the patch didn't help me at all. I lost a franchise I had already started, and now the replays. The only benefit I've seen from the patch is the bullpen now shows the correct number of innings pitched.

Tedi, exactly what I was thinking. Give us the option to go back to the first patch that didn't have too many issues if a new patch can't be released. I just don't see SCEA leaving the game like this.

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

Releasing another patch is a big deal for devs. I wouldn't be surprised if they try like hell to find a workaround to give us, something we won't like. I don't see them releasing a fix for this.

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

What i can see happening is them rolling back to 1.01, and then re-coding the patch to fix those issues. I wouldnt think that would take too long. The base code is there, they just need to fix a few items. This gets us back to 1.01 briefly until they solve the issues.

That, or they shoot out a quick patch for the patch to fix the bugs.

I have confidence that SCEA will do something to remedy the situation.

You are seeing only the last play of the game in the highlite as well. Go into replay vault and you'll see at some point the innings will say "None". Thats when replays stopped recording and you'll get no post game high-lites.

Has anyone noticed if the CPU still gets 3 mounds visits? I know this isn't nearly as pressing as the other issues, but if possible, I would like to know.
Thank you.

I've still not updated with the patch. Without going through the 87 pages on this thread what are the problems with the latest patch and should I stay as I am ? I only play franchise.

The patch is causing existing franchises to freeze (in some cases - seems to be about 50/50)

There is also a problem where there is no end of game hilight show, and the replay vault toward the end of the game is empty.

There is also still a problem with CPU Roster Control On - the CPU is still changing around lineups although there is a workaround for this somewhere in these 87 pages.
