I absolutely love this game for everything it is - except for how POORLY it runs. I was seconds away from buying a new PS3 when I saw all of the posts online saying that I was one of many that had freezing problems.

Today, I download the patch #2. Hoping that everything will run 100x smoother. FYI - Right now I am playing RTTS. I am in my second season in AAA am batting over .400 have over 130 RBI, 200+ hits, almost 100 runs scored...yet still no call up. At least in MLB 09 RTTS you were called up when you stats were good!

Anyway...I am at bat when the pitcher decides to hold onto the ball and not pitch it. Causing the game to play/freeze as I call it. Which means, nothing works (pause buttons, etc.) The game continues to run and nothing happens. Awesome.

How did such HUGE...HUGE glitches in this game get overlooked at the testing stage?

Also, I wish I could put a mustache on my guy like Mike Schmidt has in this game...WTFSONY>

Wait? You said your were seconds away from buying a PS3, but didn't, but you still have DL the patch? Please explain this?

I just quit the game from the XMB and my PS3 didn't restart on me! It'd be cool if that little glitch was fixed, though in the past it didn't happen every single time I quit, so I'm not positive it was.

I'll also echo a post upthread: Anybody notice if the various ticker errors have been fixed? These aren't a big deal at all, but it was just a little goofy to see "The Orioles are 3-7 in their last 10 games" every game when that wasn't actually true. It was always 3-7, for whatever reason.

Those ticker errors have always been on the game and seem to never get fixed. All the way back to 07 they would show incorrect stats and records. It always frustrated me, it doesn't effect gameplay. But why even have it in the game if it's always wrong. It can't be that hard of a fix.

...has the home run ticker been fixed, meaning when the wrong player's name is being shown to have hit a HR in a previous at bat? I know it's cosmetic issue but just curious.

Yes it has...

when controlling all teams and setting trades to manual, do the computer teams trade with each other and giving you the ability to override them? i just ran a franchise and there were no proposed trades within the league

Re: MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 is Available, Post Impressions Here

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i just tried to make my first start in AAA with my pitcher in rtts and as soon as it gets to the first game of the season, it stops simming, i can press circle and choose to sim again, but it wont do anything, and i just pitched every game in AA for about a week and a half now, and now i have to do it again, not to mention i threw a perfect game, i'm ticked off, and i had two other rtts players already created as well before i downloaded the patch, and they work just fine, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THE ONE I SPENT THE MOST TIME WITH!?!?!?!?!?!

No, apparently one of the fixes was to no longer have the CPU propose trades when GLOBAL is set to MANUAL TRADES. Too bad, I liked the idea of approving/disapproving trades. Makes sense they would fix it, but the workarounds actually produced some pretty cool features, such as approving/disapproving trades like some kind of baseball overlord.

CPU lineups are still redonkulous in franchise. I know it's technically not a bug, but Rollins batting 6th? Youk batting 2nd? The list goes on and on. That's just poor logic.

this new patch fubared my game

playing rtts, the commentary from the announcers will stop midway through and after the game it will not progress past the post game screen.

good job sony

After downloading the patch this morning I had the samething happen to me as well. Then my ps3 stoped reading bluray movies or games. It says my ps3 bluray drive has corrupt files. I tried cleaning the files, but it does not work. Now I have to buy a send my system to Sony

Not sure if the cpu trading only one player once per season factors in to RTTS or not, but I didn't restart my RTTS and after this patch I was traded twice within a two week stretch as a AA player. From Nationals to Rays, then to Diamonbacks.

I woudn't consider Youk battting 2nd "Redonkulous", he has hit in that spot 101 games in his career, 2nd most games at a batting order spot.

Heh, he also has 479 PA in the lead-off spot. But if the game put him there people would be screaming bloody murder.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 is Available, Post Impressions Here

The thing with Rollins...while at first may be a WTH moment....it's his "power" that's putting him down and Victorino at the leadoff spot.
Vic is slightly faster....Rollins has more power...
The game is seeing that and making the change.

The lineup is only an issue in games you are playing right? I mean I know the lineups are messed up in simulations as well but does it really play a factor in the final score of those games? I got tired of going in and fixing the lineups and making every decision in every organization so I put everything but trades on auto and will just fix lineups accordingly right before I play a team. That way I never see messed up lineups and I can pretend they are never messed up.

Besides some managers will tinker with different lineups during the year anyway. 1-8 doesn't stay the same all year long for most teams.

I like the fixes, but I won't be starting a Franchise or be playing this game heavily until the Drafted player potentials are fixed because thats a game breaker to me. The high player potential issue leads to unrealistic rotations, lineups, payrolls, free agent markets, etc and needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later.

Well this latest patch was put into everyone's franchise. Why not go ahead and start your franchise and if they fix it you'll already be well into your franchise and be that much closer to the offseason. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't go ahead and start. I'm almost in May now, I started a couple of weeks ago and I haven't missed any of the patches or anything. I'll miss Knight's roster set but I decided I didn't want to wait for those.
