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

I have been trying to trigger this "freeze on roster management" and cannot do it. I have tried in season, offseason, simming one day at a time, week at a time, month, randomly jumping to roster management, sorting players, you name it I have tried it.....ZILCH. Is there something that people have done that has triggered it, because I don't see it?

I have a slim PS3 and used latest live roster. I think this could be a random thing, internet connection down(which has caused a freeze for me before) or something other than a bug.

On another note, I am very happy the way they have tweaked the renewal and arbitration. Beckam was offered 7 years 23 million with only 1 year service time. He never accepted and was renewed for 700K.

Are you suggesting we may not need to control every teams off-season signings in terms of their younger players?

I won't allow Jeter to play CF though or Hart to come in and catch (I saw the CPU do this the other day)

This is a problem we spotted on release day, and it was easily fixed, but I'm not totally sure how we did it. Can't remember. Either Jeter mistakenly had CF as one of his backup positions on his player card (which you would fix in the player editor screen), OR you simply needed to go to the FIELDING POSITION screen for the Yanks and manually fix it, but guys fixed this early on so that it wouldn't happen.

I thought that Jeter at CF, Granderson @ 2nd, and catchers all over the place was simply due to lineup errors in the first live roster - I haven't seen that happen at all since the 2nd live roster...

Don't remember, but I do know in the lineup screen Jeter showed CF. I'm pretty sure it was fixed without having to download a different roster. He needs to see if he can manually fix it.

edit: Thinking back, I know I fixed it without a new roster. The catchers appearing in the RP screen was also easily fixed by sending them down then bringing them back up.

As far as controlling offseason....If you use a current roster based off the current live, then no you would not. All roster's based on older versions have too many A potential players requiring the user to control spending.

- Fixed issue in Franchise Mode and controlling of 30 teams and releasing a lot of players.

What does that mean?? Does that fix the issue about many all stars being released like 3 years in the a franchise?

I still haven't downloaded the patch yet, but since the freezing seems to be fairly isolated, I gave my league the ok to download it, and I'll do so myself later today. What I have noticed however is that theshowcommunity webpage for my league still shows the wrong standings. Not a single game has been recorded since we had to replace one guy in the league.

I'm not sure what SCEA thinks they fixed with online leagues, but they gave a big list of things as though leagues were taken care of, but yet I'm still seeing this. Games that were played 3 weeks ago are not being reflected in the standings. We can only hope that the games are actually registering since the game isn't asking me to resolve them. But it feels like quite a big leap of faith. If we get to the end of the season and can't advance to the playoffs, heads will roll. I love my offline play as much as the next guy, but online play is still a HUGE selling point for this game. If they can't do it right, I'd rather have it taken out of MLB 11 completely and have them charge $10 less. Online play has always been a miserable experience with this series. They need to learn to cut their losses.

Just wanted to say thank you to Russell, Ryan Braun Stance! Finally!

I have run into a problem since I've downloaded the patch -- on two occasions, I've had the game freeze as I was exiting the bullpen screen. I never had this issue before until I downloaded the patch. Not sure what causes it. Hope it can get fixed.

The league fixes are not retroactive you have to start over to take advantage of them.

Wow...my guys aren't going to be happy about that one. Glad we wasted 2 months. No offense to you Russell, but that portion of the game was completely botched this year (for something that was supposed to be "the focus"). That kind of stuff makes the game not worth $60. "Much Cooler This Year" it was not...

Jimmy Rollins batted 5th the other night, I've gotten to the point where I wonder if we obsess too much over lineups. I just decided to put everything back on auto and if I see something really crazy I'll step in but otherwise I'm just going to worry about my own team.

Yeah, I actually drove up to Philly on Wednesday to catch the Cubs-Phillies game and Rollins was batting 6th and Victorino leadoff, which is exactly how the game has it. Now, this is because Rollins just came off the DL and is still nursing his calf, but Victorino has had success at leadoff so it will be interesting to see what happens.

So anyway, I had the same thought you had - that I've been too obsessed with it and the Phillies real-life lineup is proof that the CPU logic is sound. So I started a new dynasty to see how bad the lineups are again.... and MAN they're bad. But I'm getting really tired of managing everyone's lineups, so I may just need to stop being so anal and just play the damn game

By the way, let us know how it works out for you. I'd be interested to read the opinion of someone else who's been sweating the lineups.

havent played online in 2 years and I would still pay $60 plus tax for this game

Exactly what roster will that be if I try to download it?
