MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

[ravens1352]

You sir have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. No developer comes close the SCEA as far as support. Well the Show crew anyways...
They also have lives so maybe you should understand
1: No game in history has been releases without issues and
2: It's a VIDEO GAME and SCEA will fix issues, period. They work looong and hard and miss tons of time with their families to bring this game to you. Don't like it then trade it in and move on and skip next years version.
To say these guys take your money and go on vacation right after is idiotic. They've been here damn near every day since release getting feedback etc... Try actually knowing what you are talking about before you post something likie that again.

I thought you rarely came to this site anymore

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

If anyone gets a chance can they please test this? I see it has been reported in bugs section. I have simmed to year 3 checking things to see if issues improve, (trade logic does, minor leaguers don't get promoted though for some reason )

Any way I am at a point where I am stuck and will not let me advance. Aug 11, 2012. Other have said May. What I did was stop sim look in email....stuck!!!

Can any one try see if it does it?

Ok I went back into the save file and put my profile on ALL teams. I found out that a teams AA roster did not have enough position players in it. I brought players up and boom could get past.

Problem is the cpu for some reason is not promoting players even when it needed to off of A level. If I did not have 30 team control I would be stuck.

You will not see A potential prospects that are the best on there team's roster until 26 or 27 when all other players are either traded or retired.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

So i can control all 30 teams and only play with the one i'd like to and the ridiculous cpu trading would stop. But the other teams would still play its games without me controlling them..Can i control all the teams in the same season every time i play with a team the other would have different records? Idk clarify this plz ..

The fact that you are controlling all 30 teams may be the problem. The game worked fine last year without that option. It's a shame they wasted programmer time on that issue and now will spend more time fixing all the problems it has caused instead of fixing the already existing gameplay issues.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

This stuff will be fixed...that is why this thread was started, Kolbe was letting people know what plans of action they were taking to fix these issues.

And while one shouldn't have to do all these workarounds...it could be worse. You could not have any workarounds to use to avoid these issues and play franchise while you wait for the patch.

For me, workarounds are not a solution....but regardless of that, you are corrrect - these issues/probs will get fixed.

But how long will it take? and how many updates? There are not just a small handful of problems. The RTTS, the online game, the Manager Mode has issues, stadiums have issues, etc.

This game is great because it offers so many modes and platforms to play on. But this amateur release has bugs in everyone of those modes and/or platforms.

Who cares if they are on vacation or not (everyone deserves time off)... its just a matter of the game being so deep in bugs & glitches that it will take some time to correct (regardless of who, if any, take vacations).

Don't see a bugs thread in MLB2k10 section? While I'm sure it has it's own bugs - not so many to warrant their own thread.

$60 games are $60 for a reason. Having so many bugs in a release is not one of them.

How long it will take is unknown. And as I said, we shouldn't have to use workarounds, but the thing is that we do, and we are at least lucky enough that we have members of our community that are not only willing to research these workarounds, but share them with the community. Whether someone wants to use the workarounds is up to them, but I would hope they would at least attempt them to see how they work out rather than dismissing them and selling a game they would get enjoyment out of.

$60 games are $60 because of the rise in production costs. And having any bugs at all shouldn't be part of the equation, but it has been and it always will be.

Oh and MLB2k10 does have a bugs and glitches thread. Not that its important nor matters in regards to the Show, but since you brought it up...

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Im staying with 09 this year. The game is perfect and plays well. The lighting and new features that are offered on this years game can not overcome the broken franchise mode. I am strictly a franchise player. So this kills everything for me. I dont play exhibition or RTTS. I dont want to have to handle 30 teams this year and do all thier lineups and trades just to make the game work. And once you do that you have to worry about the freezing issue. So Im going to save 30 bucks and buy 2009 back used at gamestop for 30 bucks and have fun this year rebuilding the Pittsburgh Pirates my way.

Anyone else doing this or am I crazy for not buying 2010

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

I wonder why SCEA can't wait another month or so to release the game? Seems like every year, the game is full of bugs and issues, and it pisses people off.

If a patch comes out 1 or 2 months from now and fixes 50-75% of the issues, whats the difference of releasing a less "buggier" game in April?

well...if the issue is due to the time they have to develop the game, then pushing it back is only a one year solution. March to March or April to April is still a 12 month difference.

Unfortunately my 09 copy is on PS2, not 3 like my '10 copy. As a strictly franchise player liek yourself I'm kicking myself for buying this game the first day and not waiting to see if there were issues with it.

It doesn't work like that

If a game is released a month later it's still going to have these problems because all the millions of different gameplay situations

Unlike a traditional game where everything is planned for a sports game can literally have millions of variations that can be tested but not the the extent that we put it through. That's why whenever they ask for bugs they ask how to recreate the situation

Buzz, wrong answer. If it is released a month later then the 2K series has a month long jump on them.

Most of the bugs/glitches are easily detected. Takes 2 secs to look at a player's potential or just a few mins to sim a season to see how it effects players. There are many aspects to MLB The Show series, which sets them apart... but 09 had far less bugs than 10.

Even if they rebuilt the game from the ground up for MLB 10...09 didn't have this many issues on it's first release.

I don't see how waiting to April would change anything. Whether its released in Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug, or whenever, its still going to be a year's development cycle.
