MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

Re: Interesting change in logic following the patch

This happened pre-patch as well. The CPU has no concept of saving their starter in games where they are winning big. The CPU will keep the starter in the game if he's dealing no matter the score.

I've never been able to figure out why a thread on a specific topic like that gets dumpted into the landfill of page 35 in a thread like this.

In real life they would have their starters all scheduled for Tommy John surgery but I'm not sure if the game increases the liklihood of injury when the energy goes to zero.

Gotcha...I did indeed misunderstand you then.
The reason people said that was that Ramone did say you would not have to restart your franchise. The community here was going by what he stated.

Why don't you post your franchise file here and I'll see if I can load/save it?
...and I thought you were already having a problem with it...but if I get you right....you haven't tried it yet?...is that correct?

i don't have the latest patch for fear it could become corrupted. since i started pre patch with the first full minors i'm not sure i can copy it over to you. what recourse should i consider?

Re: 38-20 before patch... 3-17 since.

That's my record in my franchise. All-star difficulty, timing hitting, meter pitching. I know they said meter pitching was a little more difficult, but is anyone else having such a drastic change since the patch, or do I just suddenly suck? Obviously going 3-17, I'm sucking at both pitching and hitting.

You guys are making me feel better. I'm 3-13 in my season. The little things on the mound and at the plate seem to always go wrong. I'm using All Star, analog everything.

Is this patch worth downloading or should I try to wait for a next one? I heard there was a problem with saving rosters and franchises?

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

I only heard of a few people about how much harder the game is after the patch. Well, I am also having an extremely hard time. In my franchise, I was like 45-30. Post-patch, I am like 4-15. I assume I, and the few others, are just in a slump that just happens to be at the same time as the patch. I guess I will have to just keep taking the losses and hope I break out soon!

What difficulty are you playing on? Seems odd that several people were playing well over .500 ball before the patch and playing .200 ball since. If it was just a person or 2, I'd count it as a fluke. But between this forum and people I've talked to, seems like a lot of people are finding wins MUCH harder to come by after the patch.

All Star Pure Analog Pitching: I do see a decrease in accuracy; a much needed improvement; although my era hasn't really been effected.

All Star Zone Hitting: I am always looking at the CPUs pitch chart, and they now throw about 2 balls in the middle square per game. Pre-patch, their accuracy was normal. I can't score runs to save my life. And I refuse to play timing hitting. If you watch the PCI, its totally luck whether you hit the ball hard or not.

Sliders:
-CPU and human solid hits: 2
-CPU and human contact: 6
-CPU and human power: 4
-All other sliders that effect hitting/pitching are at 5.

Timing hitting isn't luck, it's based on player attributes. It's not some random luck of the draw, it relies on the batters attributes.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

I wish they'd fix plays at the plate. As previously mentioned, seems the ball always is thrown up the first base line and no sense of urgency by the cachter to tag the runner heading for home.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

If there is a third patch, I really wish they'd fix the scouting bug where it re-loads the wrong player's scouting information. You can checkmark a player's who's already been scouted if you're not careful. You can correct it by re-loading the scouting screen again, but it's a real pain.I did mention it in the bug thread, but it didn't make it in this patch.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

There are still a lot of errors in calling errors. I just got 2 errors in one inning, neither of which should have been an error. A line drive over my head, and a ball which I just forgot to throw it to the right base (mental errors are never charged as errors, it would be scored a fielder's choice or hit, for the hitter).

Pleaseeeeeeeeeee fix these. Also seconding the urgency on plays at the plate thing.

Sorry, let me re-phrase my statement.

I like the ability to move my PCI low to avoid grounders/double plays, move it high to hit a ground ball on a hit and run, move it away to hit the ball the opposite way, etc.

In short, situational hitting.

Timing hitting does not allow for situational hitting. Its like I am the Phillies; just a bunch of hitters in batting practice with no regard to the situation.

Plus, I hate seeing a nice hanging slider coming down the middle of the plate, and swing with perfect timing, just to watch my batter swing and miss, and notice my PCI is all the way up. Then, the next pitch is a nasty slider in the corner that I get fooled on; but the same batter smokes it up the middle for a single; PCI revealing my hitters perfect approach. If I must ignore my own vision and trust the game's attributes, then just let them swing the bat too. Why should timing be manual if vision is auto?

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

Luck =/= random. On any given pitch, you have a chance of making contact, and you have a chance of not making contact. You can play with the same batter for 3 hours, but you will not get identical results on identical pitches, as there is an element of chance. Timing IS luck, there is no way around it

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

anybody else noticed that since the new patch there no passed balls by the catcher any more and that he rarely block balls ? he seems to catch every ball in the dirt without a problem before the new patch there way to many wild pitches/passed balls now there we see almost none, I´v playd about 20 games since the patch and no base so far which would effected to a wild pitch
