MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

Not trying to mock you, but do you not know the meaning of 'vague'? Perhaps you mean something else and are just incorrectly using the word?

What you read was a list which in full description named some of the detailed fixes coming in a soon-to-be released patch. How you're getting that confused with some sort of "tips" or "advice" on how to play the game is beyond me.

And to answer your question of "How does SCEA not know if this works with current franchises", the answer is quite simple... Code in a video game is not a simple process where you just open up a computer screen and type in "Fix franchise bug", and voila!, it's fixed. It's a complicated process in which every little thing you do pulls a thread and can open up a problem elsewhere.

So until they're finished with all the bug fixes and content update associated with the patch, there can be no definitive answer as to what will be effected. Hope that helps.

What I meant in terms of being vague was the release of the patch. It could be tomorrow or two months from now.

The other was about it looking like a tutorial on how to play. For example:

"Don't backload contracts that are less than $5M per year or less than 4 years."

or

"Make sure any player who is decent (75 ovr, 75 potential) are being offered arbitration. Also, make sure free agents were offered arbitration by the CPU and teams didn't receive compensation picks for players to whom they didn't offer arbitration."

There are verbs in these statemens, so it sounds like Russell is suggesting us to do these after the patch is released.

You are too dumb for words

Coming from the source, I'm certainly offended.

Great post, but I can't help but remember the great Inigo Montoya, who said "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Well...
It kind of looks like he was pulling the fixes from memos from one dev to another.
It's just a heads up Ramone is giving us...not the actual fix list for the patch I would say...

Hey hex. Where do you read it won't effect current franchises when its released?

Fair enough... personally, I could tell he was just writing shorthand in a way and perhaps inverting incorrect verbs for a couple things. I thought it was fairly obvious that in the middle of a list of fixes, he wasn't throwing in a couple of pieces of advice for us, but hey, to each their own.

As for the release of the patch being vague, they don't know when it's going to be done. It's not like they're being coy or purposely vague. And I would work under the assumption that it's going to be a LOT sooner than 2 months from now as one of your possibilities stated. I highly doubt he would make a post about it like that, with the season starting tomorrow, and then not have it ready for 2 months. This board would be going nuts.

So logically, I'd say a couple weeks, and just hope for sooner.

I concur, I'm just a bit impatient so to speak. I would like to start the mode I've loved from day one, RTTS.

I don't think he's being purposely coy or vague about the release of the patch date, it's just irritating the same problem from last year is there again.

Great list can't wait to start my franchise after this patch comes out.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

I appreciate the work that's being done and the communication, but can someone please clarify whether franchises will need to be restarted, or whether the patch will be fine regardless?

It's opening day and I'm sitting here really keen to get into a franchise. With all due respect, I don't think it's that hard a thing to inform us one way or the other. I'm sure I'm not the only one with an itchy trigger finger wanting to get into a game.

Well, I think that it's probably not as easy as you're assuming. I would think that, until the patch in completed, tested, and verified, they can't know with 100% certainty that a restart won't be necessary. If they don't know for sure, they just aren't going to tell us.

People hang on every word these guys say, and if Russell confirms it and is wrong, people will burn this place down over it...lol (look up some threads from 09 for reference-and that wasn't even misinformation...just bad news).

For better or worse (and I know it drives some people nutty) Russell isn't going to make half-cocked assurances without being as certain as possible that he's not going to get burned. It's better to be vague and accurate than specifically wrong.

Very well put.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

the big question is with the OS roster out are people going to start a single team franchise now and hope the patch works with in progress franchise's or will people go to 30 team?

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

Did the patches last year work with dynasties in progress?

Re: MLB 11 The Show Franchise Changes For Next Title Update

I really hope the wind issue gets fixed. It's really the only thing completely ruining the game for me this year. Too often I find I'm in a game with 20-30 mph winds blowing toward the outfield... and then each team launches 10+ homeruns because a simple outfield pop up blows it right out.

Wind is overdone this year, and if it's not overdone, it certainly happens way too often. A game like that should maybe happen a few times a season. But I seem to catch one every 5-6 games.

Have you tried lowering the wind slider down?
