Re: MLB 12 The Show - Bugs/Glitches Thread

This isn't a bug and it can be fixed simply by turning down the "fielder arm strength" slider. I have it down one notch.

It's also not a bug if it can happen IRL (Raul Mondesi, anyone?)

If this is happening frequently with default settings it's a bug. You shouldn't have to adjust a slider that will affect throws to other bases. Plus, it's being exploited in on line games. According to the attached link, this has occured 31 times in the NL since 1974, and less in the AL. It can happen, yes, so can triple plays, but they are rare.

Just because it's something amiss doesn't make it a bug. It's a balance issue. They re-did outfield depth, and something isn't tuned properly when it comes to some combination of runner speed, outfielder reaction, and arm strength.

A bug is an error in coding. A balance issue isn't.

Whats the bug? When watching other batters in RTTS the pitchers pitch counts are off drastically

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, RTTS, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....) RTTS

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? It happens all the time when I have result play on for batting. I've seen the first batter of the game get a walk, and the pitchers pitch count is at 1 pitch. I also had pitcher pitch a complete game shut out against me while only throwing 44 pitches.

How often can the bug be reproduced? Every time I play RTTS with result play on for batting

Whats the bug?

Pitcher / batter analysis and pitch counts are incorrect when using the result plays option. When I look at either analysis or the pitch counts, only the result pitches are displayed. So if I look at my batter it shows ever pitch in the analysis but for all the other batters it only counts the final pitch of the AB.

That said, even though the pitch count is off, relief pitchers still seem to come in at the correct time and tire at the correct rate. When I only play my players ABs the analysis and pitch counts are correct for all batters.

This was happening in MLB 11 as well.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, RTTS, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)

RTTS

It happens anytime I play with the result plays enabled in RTTS

Every time.

Whats the bug?

While playing manager mode, base runners attempt to steal without me sending them. I'm not sure if this a "bug" or not but it would be nice to at least have the option to hold the runners.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, RTTS, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)

Franchise mode playing with the Manage Only option.


How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?

When my team is at bat with a base runner on if I choose "play ball" sometimes the base runner will attempt to steal even though I didn't choose the option to steal. I assume that this happens because the "play ball" option tells the CPU to simulate the at bat without user input. However, the "play ball" option seems to be the only way to tell the hitter that it's ok to swing.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

Whenever I play a game with the manage only option it's always a possibility that it could happen.

No

It's not a bug, it's the way it's designed. Manager Mode is just CPU vs CPU with an interface allowing you to change what the AI would otherwise do.

Until either last year or the year before there was a "swing away" option that allowed you to override anything the AI might be trying to do when your team is at-bat, but they removed it when they re-did the interface, and I'm not sure why.

Their internal numbers show very little mode use (although the numbers Ramone posted seemed way too low) so it's not likely to get any love unless it's done on someone's lunch break.

The best way to enjoy the mode is to be zen about the lack of control and play it for what it is. If you need a "roleplay" angle to what's going on just tell yourself that the bench coaches are taking care of some of that stuff unless you give a special instruction.

Whats the bug?
A scoring error. During a Braves vs. Rockies game, Michael Cuddyer popped out to Dan Uggla to end the inning. The game for some reason gave Uggla an error. The game log said "Cuddyer popped out to Uggla to end the inning (E4)".

See "What's the bug". Probably can't recreate it. Seems to be random.

I've only seen it once.

No.

I had the same thing happen. Same situation, batter popped up to short for third out, shortstop given an error.

Thanks for your reply. This is something that can be fixed/tuned with a patch, correct?

Whats the bug?

CPU hit a ball to deep center field I went to climb wall but dove instead by the wall and caught it like Jim Edmonds over the head dive catch a few years back. Only thing is on the replay it clearly showed it bounced off the wall and into my glove 1st. It was ruled an out but should not have been.

Im sure this could happen again but hard to replicate it seeing the situation.

Whats the bug?

In RTTS, when on first base and asked to steal for a hit and run and the batter at the plate misses and you get caught stealing. The coach benches you for stealing even though you were just following orders and it wasn't your fault that the batter swung through the pitch.

Everytime you get caught stealing on a hit and run. This is the same bug as last year. Hopefully this can be patched soon.

Thanks for the info Azamien. The role playing angle I've gone with is bull headed players who don't want to listen to their manager. That way I can get really red in the face and curse and well if I had sand on my basement floor, kick it.

Not sure why it hadn't dawned on me before but I could crank the cpu steal attempt slider down to zero every time my team is at bat. I'll give that a shot tonight.

Whats the bug?

My opponent hit a routine fly ball to right field at Tropicana Field. At first, I thought maybe the ball was going to hit the rafters and the play would have been ruled dead, and he stops on second base. However, I could not switch to any player on the field, I could not move. All of the players were acting as if they were either waiting on the next pitch, or the pitch had been fouled off. All players were kicking dirt so to speak. My opponent wound up getting an inside the park home run.

Not sure if it can be recreated, as I was just blown away and what transpired, so I quit the game.

I did a replay, but didn't think to save it. so, no

Whats the bug?

The thing that happened to Hartstopper happened to me. I was up 2-1 and A-Rod hit a ground ball. As soon as the ball was hit, I couldn't control any player. The AI guys didn't even run for the ball. He got an inside the park homer and tied the game 2-2. Now my opponent paused the game about a minute prior to the incident. Then the very next ball that was put in play, my guys just stood around. I'm thinking he did something, but who knows. The random pause right before it happened makes me think something cheesy happened. The game also froze at the end with the game tied at 2.

I didn't do anything. But like I posted above, he paused the game about a minute before his lucky ground ball inside the park homer.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

Not sure. Maybe the guy I was playing didn't do anything, just a coincidence - now that I see it happened to someone else. But the pause right before makes me suspicious.

Do you have video or pictures?

Yes. the pause comes at 29:41 and the in ground ball inside the park homer comes at 30:25.

Not sure if it can be recreated. I edited a few players, changed my settings to how I remember having them in MLBTS '11 and went in to play my first game on the disk. I have tried editing players and changing settings again, but it has not happened again..

So far, just once, unintentionally.

Whats the bug?
No matter who is hitting and how they follow through on their swing (one or two handed), most fly balls that are not homeruns result in 2 handed swing finishes. Makes hitting as guys like A-Rod unrealistic as he never finishes with 2 hands.

Hit a fly ball with a player that normally finishes his swing with one hand

Almost all non-homerun fly balls with one hand swing finishing players.

No.
