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

Wait, I can't even continue my franchise since I started it with Knights rosters, or start a new one with rosters I already have on my PS3 because of the patch?

Try it and find out, no one here knows for sure yet. No two people are using the same settings, rosters, etc to accurately predict a hypothesis.

All he's saying is that they can't be uploaded to Sports Connect, NOT that you can't use them to start a franchise. It means that any roster set currently in the works based on a set previous to those release dates will have to be imported from a flash, not downloaded.

Bold. That I didn't think about. Thanks corey.

Did you not read the part where Knight himself said to go ahead and do it?

I think he was just showing his displeasure with the fact that it wont work with Knights rosters since its pretty safe to assume he isnt going back in to do all the work again. With that said, what did SCEA do that caused this in the first place? It wasnt the CPU Roster Control issue since that wasnt fixed anyways, couldnt have been the DL issue since that wasnt fixed as well so what was it?

Just redo the rosters, it won't take that long and it's worth it

Well if its that important to you and you dont think it will take that long then jump on it sport, it isnt his job nor is it his fault this happened either. You cant expect him to go back and redo 2 months worth of work at this point, he should be enjoying the game he paid for at this point.

moemoe i would personally not do it again. The problems others are having with the game (historical stats, cubs schedule etc) wasn't that much of an issue for me i like the gameplay enough to overlook some of that stuff, but maybe something you wanted fixed is fixed but it looks like a new franchise needs to be started.
This auto baserunning thing is pretty annoying, was that so much of an issue that they felt they needed to change it?

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

Wait, Russell, when you said you talked to Knight and he said it sucks, but if it fixed it then do it, what "fix" are we referring to? What did SCEA repair that essentially meant his rosters couldnt/wouldnt be able to be used? Im confused here.

Im just surprised that people are having franchise crashes now in addition to all this other madness.

1 )If i understand correctly, to have the correct historical stats, you have to use a new roster (4/20 or later), is that right?
2) TO have the correct lineups you can either A) use Knights lineup fix rosters (v1 or v2) or B) use his version 3, or any other rosters, turn roster control on and set them in game? So basically you either go with injuries and the CPU controlling everything outside of your team or you turn roster control on, and give up trades, injuries and everything else. Am i right in those statements?

Yes that's right all the old rosters from the roster vault are contaminated. Knight and others have to create those rosters all over again hence why he said it sucks.

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

Yup long as you use the new rosters it should be fine. All the old rosters are "contaminated" that's why Knight and others have to re-do them.

Appreciate that your spending time in here today.

Can you confirm/deny or shed some light on what will happen to franchises loaded with Knights current rosters after patch application?

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

No, just the historical stats will work then. The CPU roster control on lineup problem is still there. I tested it with 4/27 and 4/20 rosters SCEA and it is there.

But, guys, we can't expect Knight to redo his rosters. He has lost countless hours already.

No no.....that's not what I meant at all, in fact, I was saying that like it would be almost ridiculous for him to have to redo them.

I think I'm just gonna ride this year with the franchise I'm already 16 into. I just wish I knew what the patch does to franchises already in progress. Some are saying their franchise crashed on them and I definitely don't want that. I will play it with no patch if necessary.

Re: New Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion

Im not going to read through this entire thread but why in the holy hell did they "fix" the auto baserunning so I can no longer send my runner? The CPU very rarely sends anyone so I was always having to do it myself, which I was perfectly fine with, so why the change? Were people literally complaining that they had too much control? This was a terrible decision if you ask me.

Wtf I play with auto baserunning on and can still steal manually ?

Thanks Russell, just want to make sure Im understanding all this.

We can still load Knight's rosters from a thumbdrive and use them, right? It wont cause the game to crash or anything, will it?

Essentially they just wont be on the vault, right?

Out of curiosity, how did you come to that conclusion? He openly admits that rosters like Knights are now contaminated, and they will be contaminated no matter how you load them onto your PS3 so I fail to see how using a thumb drive will suddenly allow you to use his rosters from before. Now I could be completely missing something or be off on how I interpreted the answers that have been posted previously but thats the way I see it.

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

does anyone remember what the first few updates addressed? because i would just delete the game utility data and just play of the original version if there weren't glaring issues other than the one's that they tried to address with this patch.

That's correct in my opinion.

Not sure on the tone of your post since its tough to gauge on a message board. Are you asking because you werent aware you could do this from the start or are you basically saying that you are still able to do this after the patch? Previously you would press L2 and your runner would take off on the pitch and it took into account your baserunners speed and steal ability, and it was nice to use when you wanted to hit and run without having to worry about the baserunning otherwise.

At this point Im just not going to download the patch, it didnt accomplish anything that helps me at all and I dont want this feature to vanish, nor do I want my franchise crashing so I dont think Im going to be taking any chances.

Yea, you bring up a good point. I forgot about the other patches. I think they addressed only online content, but don't quote me on that one.

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

Dumb question:

If we play with the default rosters (the one the game shipped with, i.e. we don't load a single roster file) can we avoid the historical stat glitch?
