#1. Correct. My understanding is that pre-patch franchises played post-patch are at risk for those crashes, etc.

#2. My understanding is that if you start a post-patch franchise now, you should be good to go. You should also still be good to go for the replay fix when it's released without having to start over (again though, franchises started pre-patch are still at risk generally speaking, I believe).

Thanks, I'll wait for confirmation. Looks like my online league is not going to appreciate me too much, but I just can't start over again. Just adding the music is monumental and everything works great for me as it is, sigh.

Yeah, you CAN NOT continue your online league if you don't have the up-to-date patch, it'll require the update if you try to sign into SC.

Has anyone else noticed the ticker not working right after the patch? All I ever get now is the teams playing and time of the game, but not updated scores.

Is the ticker on by default? I'm not sure I have seen the ticker.

Russell, will potential be one of the attributes that can be updated? I'm hoping it can be. Also, I currently have two RTTS games started before the patch. Would it be best to continue those games, or start fresh ones now that the patch has been released?

It started working on mine with the first patch in March, but then stopped showing scores after the second patch. I didn't have to do anything to turn it on, it just showed up.

Russell, thanks for the update. Let me be the first to pose this question. If we start a franchise now (or have one started already) that is NOT giving us replays or flashbacks, is it safe to continue? I assume that this mini patch (or patch 1 lite) will work with existing franchises, correct?

Thanks again, just wanna know if we are safe to go.

Yes those should be grandfathered in

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

Thanks Sox (and Russell). I re-did all my rosters off Knights set (thanks again Knight!) and started the franchise, got all the marketing, scouting and such set up and was hoping to start today or tomorrow.

So if/when i start this weekend, i may be missing some replays/flashbacks, but when Patch 1 Lite is released, all of those should come back. And the crashing shouldnt be an issue as its a new franchise. Is taht right?

Also, are people, anyone, seeing flashbacks at all now? If you hit a jack in the 2nd inning, do they flash back to it the next at bat, or does it skip it?

Yes if you start over now you should be fine

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

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the first post. He was polite and has the right to ask for answers. If that bothers Russell than oh well. Some of you guys are so uptight that the slightest criticism will inflame the developer that its just too much imo. We shouldn't have to filter our comments on a message board or in certain forums just because a developer shows up.

You are right though Ruffy. Russell and the rest of the dev team don't have to be here. They chose to be here. They chose to come before the game released, interact heavily and provide a lot of great info to advertise for the game. It's a give and take. If they want to come here and market the game and accept the praise that most people give the series, then they have to also accept the negatives and answer the hard questions. I have a big problem when any develop comes on a message board, posts like crazy to promote a product and then pleads the 5th amendment when asked a tough question. I'm not even saying Russell is pleading the 5th but some of you guys are trying to do it for him. Russell's a big boy and many want to hear what he has to say. If they voice frustration over a delay in getting info that's fine. This is a forum to do just that.

Edit: And now Russell has responded. And people are thankful.

Just to clear this up I'm not here to sell you or market the game to you neither is anyone else from the development team that visits these boards.

I am not a part of the marketing team in any way shape form or fashion let me be clear about that. We are here to interact with the community and help bridge the gap between the development team and our consumer base so that we may put out the best product year in and year out.

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

So, it's safe to assume that people that are having franchise and RTTS freezing issues are not getting a fix with this "mini-patch".

Thanks in advance Russell (and thanks for your hard work this week)

If your franchise/RTTS is freezing because of patch number 2 you will need to start your franchise/RTTS over. Its the extra game in the schedule that threw it off which is what's causing that crash. Deleting that file and starting over should aleviate that issue.

Okay so the next patch will only have the replays fixed right?

That's how I am reading/understanding it, Razr!

And Russell...ignore the bums. We know why you are here, and that is why we continue to buy and play the greatest Baseball Sim on the Market.

Moemoe

Please don't tell me to play something else. I bought the game for what I knew about it since last year when these issues were not thete. These issues might be small to you but not to me. Line ups are part of thr realism of the game. If they are going to call it the most realistic experience then I should not have to use modified rosters to get a feature to work. Line ups are part of the realism of mlb baseball and so is dh stamina. So is 60 day dl issue...those are all part of baseball.

I don't want to use modied rosters. I want to use the rosters that came with the game. Those should be the ones with no issues and I should not have to buy a second controller to get the line ups to work like they did last yea

So don't tell me to play something else. Don't tell me to use modied rosters to get over the issues.

I don't tell you to hate the game or love the game

I am not insulting scea or being unreseonable with my dissapointment. Stop trying to tell people that we are making to much of a deal just cuz u feel that way...

Guru, it was just a suggestion, since you can't seem to get over these issues. I don't care what you play, but I do hate to see your same rant every single day(shouldn't be called realistic, don't want to play with edited rosters, shouldn't have use workarounds to play the game).

Everyone here, including Russell understands that you feel this way. So forgive me for trying to help you enjoy the game. If you would rather cry than play, by all means......Proceed!!

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

In Russell's quote it only addresses the replay glitch so for better or worse i would say people can start or continue their seasons/franchises now knowing that the replay glitch will be fixed soon and that franchises or RTTS with the glitches probably should be started over fresh. The latter part is my opinion.


Next week sometime we are planning to release a mini patch to fix the replay issues that were caused by patch number 2. There won't be any other fixes and changes made to the game in this update.
