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

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

A new thing happened to me last night, but only once. I had a guy on first and a guy on 3rd. The base running windows would not come up for one at bat. The pitcher was throwing so far out of the strike zone, it was almost like I was getting pitched around, which is what I decided they were doing to me, and I was right, so A. Ramirez took all 4 pitches and then the bases were loaded.

On the next batter, everything was fine and the baserunning windows were back. Never happened again after that. Maybe this is a pre-patch issue as well, but I had never read about it or seen it personally.

This happened to me pre-patch once (same deal...I never saw it again) so I don't think it's related to this current patch.

As for the rest, I agree it's troubling. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop each game I've played...lol. For now, I'm on hold until Russell devulges more, one way or the other. On the off-chance we do get a new patch/fix, I'd hate to be in the same boat as others who have lost franchises, etc that are well underway.

This is the price we are paying for 2K sucking *** as a baseball game, SCEA has no legit competition and I guarantee you if they did, this patch wouldn't be so half-assed. I mean not even fixing the CPU Roster on lineups? I don't even feel like starting a franchise because I have to go fix all 30 lineups before I start.

Riiiight....they put out the best baseball ever w/no comp....but said...."2K sucks....let's give them a ****ty patch":wink:
Makes perfect sense!

Disagree 110%, you dont know what your talking about, end of discussion. SCEA is far more hands on then other companies have ever been here at OS, they nail the little things and they strive for perfection unlike other companies who strive for "good enough" and thats it. If you think SCEA has some sort of underhanded plan to stick it to us because they already have their money then you are way off base.

EDIT- Some companies let competition dictate how much effort or time they put into their games, SCEA doesnt do that.

So I just bought this game, and from what I'm reading it sounds like I shouldn't install this patch.

True?

Oh God help us all. This has got to be the most insane conspiracy theory yet

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

I personally do not see how they are going to avoid doing another patch. Just so many issues not resolved that was going to be touched on and seemingly many new issues now. Your not going to have workarounds for all of them. Seems the only other option for them is just to delete the current patch and just have us live with the past issues.

I hope we get more concrete answers friday. As for the patch itself, since this is an impressions thread- I really don't see much difference from before except for my paranoia that everything will fail to work at any time.

I appreciate the work the devs did on the game. I do wish the mods would just have a sticky with only devs comments with what appears to be going on as we get tens to hundreds of posts just asking the same questions over and over.

Lastly, i wish people would take more of the middle road and not overally attack or defend the situation. This isn't an extremely important situation but it is frustrating and the lack of information compounds it. Lets just try to be more civil and really i am saying this for all the forums on this board. This is the one area that is pushing me away from here more and more.

Sorry i didn't stay 100% on target but i just wanted to say my peace and not post in 8 threads.

DrUrsus,

Im not connected to Sports Connect since I cant because I dont have the patch. Its weird, the button lag is absolutely terrible when looking at rosters, free agents, trade screen or anything basically affiliated with the roster in anyway. I really dont get what is causing this since I rolled back so unless it was the first patch that fixed this then Im clueless what is causing it all to happen so suddenly.

That's right, you "rolled back" to out of the box (1.00).

I never noticed this before the patch, but to be honest with you, I wasn't doing near as much roster editing (or trying to move so quickly before in these screens) either thanks to guys like Knight so maybe it was there before.
All I could find doing searches on here that the first patch did was address the ticker problems and online issues (I think check swings online was one of them), but who knows.

No freezes and replays working (so far), knock on simulated computer wood.

Ok thanks man, maybe i will delete everything with regards to this game so far execpt Knights Rosters and start over with a new chise.

I hope that works.

Remember, don't fix them until after Spring Training in your Franchise because they scramble again anyway after spring training (unless you plan to play spring training of course, then you would have to redo the lineups/rotations for the CPU after spring training again too).
I spent hours last night doing that for a franchise. And what stinks is I will have to do it again if I want to play with another team since its done in franchise after Spring Training. Oh well, at least I can play again.

I personally don't think the 2nd patch quality has anything to do with 2K, but to each their own.

My only guess, and its purely a guess, is that its constantly trying to connect to the Sony Network in the background and is causing slight hiccups when trying to navigate rosters and whatnot. Obviously when you turn the game on without the patch it doesnt just log you out of Sports Connect, it logs you out of your PSN account as well so thats my thoughts on it.

True?

If you just bought the game you did not ever have a chance to get patch 1.01, therefore you have nothing to lose to try this patch (1.06).

If it gets screwy with your game, you can just delete it using the instructions I posted on here a few pages back and start back to out of the box (no patch) (since you never had patch 1.01 anyway, see what I mean?). Deleting the patch is not hard. My 4 year old could do it.

If you get lucky like me, you may not have any problems and get the gain although the gain is not a whole lot.

If you want absolutely no hassles and can live with the previous problems, then don't bother with it, and wait and see what happens.

I restarted my season when the patch came out and had not experienced any real problems (I play with CPU control on), but I just noticed something.

Playing a game against the Cubs, they put Bradley in the leadoff spot and had Soriano in cleanup WITHOUT SUBBING IN ANY PLAYERS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL LINEUP I HAD SET.

When I saw Bradley leading off, I figured "OK, this happened because someone was given a day off and the CPU logic kicked in." Nope. The comp just decided to switch around the lineup regardless, something I thought this patch fixed.

The "fix" only applies to sim games and it WILL change if there are prior subs, etc.

RUSSELL?

I'm going to stop short of calling you a real tool because we don't insult people here.

But, I will say that you should go somewhere else.

Perhaps you could attempt to finish school and learn to use the written word in a less 'ignorant' way

Now, I don't want to imply that your post is totally useless. It does serve one purpose.

It highlights the fact that our society has really hit rock bottom and that we need more people to mentor the likes of you.

I feel sorry for the moderators here because you represent the new breed of poster, message board trash.

Here's what you deserve from this community and from the guys at SCEA: a big bowl of dog crap.

There is no business in the world that would deal with you, not one. Were you to talk to any big company's customer service department the way you spew here, they would quickly tell you where to go.

I have a sneaky suspicion that SCEA will not collapse as a business if they don't get your 60 dollars next year.

Similarly, I suspect that advertisers won't stop advertising on this great site if you left.

Now, kindly knuckle drag yourself out of here and don't come back. We will try to go on without you.
