Re: MLB '10 The Show Game Update 3.1 (v1.12) Details (5-21-10)

Haven't read the whole thread, but I'm hating what this patch has done to my offense. I'm not a regular player, it had been 3 weeks since I last played a couple games in a row, having time to only play a game a week or so. After the patch, I had some free time, and so I started playing some games. The first couple games, my offense was non-existent except for some solo HR's, but I figured that was due to my timing being off on offense. After my timing was up to speed, I'm still having the same problems. It reminds me of last year's game where hitting was much harder that it is in this year's game, pre-patch at least.

I liked the more open offense that this year's game offered. I'm sure the hardcore guys who play the game a lot more than me wanted the offense to be harder, but for me it was perfect. I wish this game had options like the NHL series, where I can go and play the game the way it was before this patch.

It does seem like a lot of the little things have been fixed with the patch though. But for me, I don't play enough to really care about the little things, and I'm not a Ray's fan so the Tropicana field glitch didn't really affect me, so this patch has actually made the game worse for me. Then again, maybe the hitting isn't different at all, and it's just all in my head.

If you get used to using the left stick, hitting becomes easy. I got it set to All Star right now and I'm hittin' a lot, but I use that left stick and get the sweet spot on the ball. I'm gonna have to go up to Hall of Fame soon.

Do you play on rookie difficulty ?

It's all in your head. I play on two user controlled teams Red Sox and Pirates fantasy with the catch being every other draft round has to have a team connection until it runs out in the draft. I've had games with 15 to 20 hits and the next two games 4-5 hits and it makes little difference when I've gone from All-Star to Veteran hitting. I expect to hit better on Veteran hitting and I'm finding out I'm over anticipating missisng pitches by swinging early. It's either in my head or there really is a CPU/AI adjustment.

I also play historical exhibition with frequent lineup adjustments and get a variety of results often with sluggers wearing the collar. I love the variety of game results.

Wow, I also had a seven game losing streak along with two shutouts. I finally had to sim a game just to stop the bleeding. The things i am noticing since the patch is that the PCI has had less effect on balls hit, the strike zone has become unreasonable, and errors have become way to frequent. I would say the strike zone has been the worst though because it has been impossible to pitch on the corners. The problem is that even on 0-2, 1-2 counts the computer is not even protecting the plate, but instead watching strike 3 called, ball #.

The PCI has been pretty bad too. Meat balls resulting in weak outs for about the last 12 games, and on the flip side the cpu pretty much putting everything in play, despite having the PCI no where near the pitch.

Maybe just the struggles of a franchise, but in playing about 40 games before the patch, these problems seemed to have increased significantly.

I was currently playing a while back with hitting-pitching difficulty at HOF. But pitching was still too easy so I bumped pitching to legend and it was a good for my taste. I was scoring roughly 5 runs a game... then the patch came and now I'm averaging 2 runs a game I mean WTH??

oww and how the errors have killed me it's now more frequent during the late innings. one of my last games I had a 2-0 lead 8 inning 2 outs runners at 2nd and 3rd... ground ball to the 3rd baseman YES I can get out of the inning!... WRONG! ball goes straight thorough the 1st baseman legs both runners scoring

I play on all star and use the left stick. I'll play a game today and if I still can't hit, I'll try moving it down to veteran.

Yea, try veteran. You said you're a casual player.

Is there any way to see your teams overall in Road to the Show?

Re: MLB '10 The Show Game Update 3.1 (v1.12) Details (5-21-10)

I took a break from this game for about a month. Just started playing a bit a couple of days ago after the patch and man am I struggling.

I'm playing a season on Legend difficulty and the game is relentless, lol. Pre-patch I was a lot closer in games. I was 8 and 7 before I started playing again. Now I'm 13-19 and I'm getting handled on Offense and my pitching just sucks. I'm last in the league in HR allowed. The CPU refuses to swing at out pitches. It's like they take a pitch with two strikes that's extremely tempting like they have a 3-0 count. I'm not trying to throw all strikes but that seems to be the only way to make the CPU swing.

Does anybody play this game on Legend? It may be time to move down because this game is tough as nails.

I don't believe you have to completely restart, just have to get to a new season. Example, once you finish year 1, the potential issue is corrected starting in year 2.

Just putting this out there for the folks who may be on the doorstep of completing their first season.

Is this correct? Anyone get to a new season and notice the difference? Is it just less A potential pitchers or are their better position players?

wel what do you know.. I changed the "PITCHING" difficulty back to HOF ( "BATTING" difficulty stayed @ HOF) and I ended up winning 8-6 with 15 hits... weird

I don't blame you.

Last night I played another game in my season, and it was going well until all hell broke loose. I had a no hitter going through 4 with Gavin Floyd against the Twins. The thing that just pissed be off was how I had 6 hits to this point and not 1 run. In the top of the 5th, I had bases loaded with nobody out and the CPU (Slowey) got out of it unscaved. Not because I wasn't hitting the ball well, but because I literally lined out back to back with Alexei and Pierre. It smoked these balls... I was thinking please give me a break! Beckham then comes up and grounds out to end the inning. I was moderatly pissed. I was 0-6-0 at that point in the game and the Twins didn't even have a hit.

Next inning Thome smashes a bomb on me. The go up 1-0. Then he blasts a 2 run HR off me again in the 7th. Twins up 3-0. In the 8th I muster up 2 runs on them to cut the lead to 1. I had Thornton ready in the pen to face Kubel, Mauer, and Thome. All three of these guys reach base off of singles, lol. Matt Thornton is throwing 97, and they are t'ing off on him. To cut a long story short, the Twins ended up scoring 5 runs off of Thornton in the 8th to just crush any chance of me winning the game. I finished the game, but just turned my system off in disgust.

I know that feeling bro ,, my last game playing @ legend in 3 different occacions I had runners @ 2nd and 3rd NOBODY out! then pop-out,pop-out, strike out! its like impossible lol! I sometimes feel when i'm down 0-2 its almost game over since runs are so hard to come by.. and disaster always seems to strike in the 7,8,9 inning so i guess I'll be sticking with HOF

Has anyone still experienced freezing at Tropicana? It just happened to me after I installed the patch. Maybe I need to do a clean install?

I have not read instances of the cpu making roster moves for your team if you have your teams profile set to manual. I do a 30 team control franchise with one profile for my Reds team and a cpu profile for the cpu teams.

Everything has worked out well but I just started the 2012 season and after 2 games, the cpu has sent 4 or 5 of my pitchers to the minors and placed a couple pitchers on waivers. I corrected the pitchers that were sent to the minors but could not fix the waiver issue but the pitchers cleared waivers and were sent down. I called a couple pitchers back up and the cpu sent them back down the next day.

Everything has ran really smooth until I started the 2012 season. I don't know if is a glitch or what but it has taken then wind out of my sails so to speak if I cannot fix it.

Volzquez was sent to the minors and he was my starter on Opening Day of 2012. I don't know how many guys have made it to 2012 to see if this happens to them or not. Just puzzling, because I have been using the workarounds for franchise and it has been working fine and has been a lot of fun.
