Re: MLB 12 The Show Game Update 1.16 Arrives, Details Included - Post Your Impression

Okay here goes, I havent played 12 for about a week now and was going to fire it up again tonight for some serious playing again till I read this thread. Now I play only season / RTTS & I do not play online, I have not had any problems from the 1.06 patch so far, So my question is: If I down load this new patch am I rolling the dice for problems or will I be okay for what I play ??? Thanks for the help to anyone.

You're rolling the dice. Hold off and don't download it until the guys from SCEA comment on what the issue is.

If you do download the patch, make backup saves of your files beforehand.

How does saying 'i got the patch and my game works fine' help anyone? There's no information there. What mode? When in the season?

Because it shows that this isn't an issue with everyone. It's called a process of elimination.

Plenty of people in this thread who've said their game is fine have stated whether or not they're past the all-star break or not, using OSFM rosters, etc.

This is what I'm doing...I only play offline (franchise) anyways and I don't want any freezing issues like others have experienced.

As an aside, I do hope that maybe the patch will fix the end game highlights. I'm surprised though that for such a large download (97 MBs) that it doesn't fix that much, at least according to what's been reported as fixed...?

Thanks very much, No down load for me then. I hope they will be able to fix this soon

Dookie,

I know you were have freezing issues as I was. So what you are saying is that you deleted the patch, went into the game and played/simmed some more games in your RttS, then re-downloaded the patch and all is well now?

Yep. That is correct. Not sure what made it start working with the patch, but it is. Other than the teams with a ton of loses.

[thaSLAB]

You do realize it helps the process when people confirm they're not experiencing freezes under whatever situation they're in, right? People aren't trying to "brag", they're trying to help.

Exactly. I haven't had any freezing, period. Not after either patch. I did try to replicate what others were doing, who were freezing, in order to see if there was something in the general user navigation or the file saves themselves.

Just deleted the patch data, tried to sim past the same date, and froze again. Started it up again and tried to advance by going into the Today's Games screen but still no luck. I also went into the lineup and manage roster screens, toggled through every lineup and all levels of my organization and had no freezes there, so it's only freezing when it's trying to advance to the next day.

So I guess I can pretty stick a knife in my franchise, which is just awesome.....

Did you happen to save your franchise after you sim'd through those July 17th games?

So its been over 48 hours now. When can we expect acknowledgment from someone responsible? So far its just the community trying to help people. I can understand if its something I did to the game myself. But when a patch breaks my game there should be an announcement. Wouldn't want them to have to write a 3 sentence statement on the weekend. That's asking too much

If that is true, it would do SCEA a world of good in terms of crdibility on this forum if they simply said, "you gotta restart your franchise."

After the problems associated with the last patch and the lack of a functional crossplay, it only stands to reason that people here are suspect of their work with these patches.

...so just restart your franchise. Why do you need someone to come out and say this? You realize you can stop wasting your time "waiting" and just play the game?

it almost seems like alot of people are bragging about not freezing. do u think we are all making it up to hate on the game? i think its pretty much confirmed anyone playing rtts that happened to be post all star break when they got the patch are left with a broken game. do we need anymore confirmations about people who werent in that situation? its a real problem. count yourself lucky if the game works. mine, does NOT

You've been here two days. Relax - this is an Impressions Thread, not a "I demand an announcement" thread.

I just basically started over. Deleted 1.06 patch, my franchise, etc and re dl'd patch along with the newest offering. went in the vault and found Hustlin Owl's latest roster and started anew. No problems. Previously whenever I encountered the freeze I'd start new franchises as suggested and still had freezing problems. Now I don't. Go figure. One thing that might have caused mine was I use STL as my team (Go Cards) and the opening game is with Miami (Wasn't they one of those teams that was listed as causing some of the problems?). Now everything is good. Hope those still having problems find a solution

Take it for what its worth...

Ok..I have been testing the franchise freeze due to patch 1.16 and this is what I have:

*If your franchise is prior to the All-Star break, it appears the patch will not cause freezes. Certain team records will be messed up, but its purely cosmetic. Only the loss column is wrong. The game will recognize if these teams make it to the playoffs.

*If your franchise is past the All-Star break, the patch will freeze your franchise when trying to advance a day. The records for certain teams will also be jacked up.

*For franchises past the All-Star break, once you reach the post season, the franchise will no longer freeze.

*once you start a new season, the patch will no longer freeze the franchise mode.

Also, it appears that once you reach the September call-ups(primarily after the minor league playoffs are finished) the patch will no longer freeze the franchise mode.

While its not ideal, at least the franchise will straighten itself out.

Enjoy!

Look past your own little world. It has nothing to do with bragging. It's about adding information to help solve the puzzle as to what's causing the issues for others.

I swear, you go out of your way to spend time trying to help others figure it out and people still complain.

Did you start your season/RTTS before or after 1.06 was released?

No, I had already started both my season and RTTS before the 1.06 release, and I down loaded the 1.06 patch, moved my season into May 2012, I have had no problems what so ever so far.

[bkrich83]

No, I had already started both my season and RTTS before the 1.06 release

I would hold off then. Just my opinion, but I think you would more than likely be adversely affected.
