Haven't gotten an update in a while. Where are we on a fix for this? Or are you basically telling us (by not saying anything) we are screwed with what we had done before the 1.16 patch.

Russell any fix for my problem? Franchise mode with the Rangers managing the game with dugout view. It freezes when I'm at bat when the catcher is trying to throw it back to the pitcher. It's a new game and new HDD. I haven't downloaded any patches on this HDD. The game when I first played it was a rental it played fine I simulated spring training and played fine until I downloaded the 1.16 patch and played the second game against Seattle. Which it froze in the same matter. I deleted everything even did a complete system restore still froze. So I bought a new game and got a new HDD and I'm playing the spring training games but it freezes. Why??

This is a separate issue from the RTTS save file crash. What you are experiencing sounds like the schedule bug introduced from patch 1.06. If you can't delete all the patchs and fast forward to the All Star break or the post season. You will need to start over.

I've tried simming the intire season and post and picking up in the next season. It still froze. I delete it all and start over with the current, default, or online roster it still freezes.

This sounds really odd. So you can't play franchise at all correct?

Barely. If it don't freeze in one game it'll freeze the next. It always happens when my side is up to bat. After the pitch if the catcher catches it, it'll freeze as he's throwing it back to the pitcher.

I would think if the freeze were related to the corruption from the patches, it would a) be easily reproduceable, and b) freeze only in the main menu, or while loading at the start of the game. Once everything's already loaded, the patches and schedule wouldn't come into play at a random point in the game like that.

I'm not a member of the Best Buy Geek Squad, but I'd guess you have a bad disc or a bad PS3. I'd try using someone else's disc (maybe rent one), and someone else's PS3.

Another thought: Are you using the same roster file each time you start franchise mode? Have you tried default rosters?

I've bought a new game and a new HDD. I've tried every roster.

a new HDD but the same playstation? It would be the lens and laser piece causing the trouble I'd think.

It plays movies and other games ok.

Do any of your other games load as much or as often as the Show? The Show taxes the PS3 pretty hard.

Also, and I know this is a dumb quesion, have you tried blowing out the dirt from the inside with some canned air? If there's some dirt or debris holding up the laser or the lens from moving freely, that would definitely cause the freezing.

/having flashbacks to first-gen PS1 laser problems.

Fellas - use the freezing thread for this discussion. This thread is about impressions.

If you're concerned with Russell helping you, you can always PM him your save file.

How old is your PS3? do you have the slim or the fatty? The reason I ask is because MLB the show 2012 froze on me too but that was on my PS3 fatty which was almost 4years old, last week I had the yellow light of death ( YLOD ) I was really upset, so what I did was purchased a new PS3 which was the slim in addition to installing a 500 gig hard drive I bought new, when I put MLB 2012 the show in my new PS3 with hard drive upgrade, I have not had any problems at all, game runs smooth and works like a charm, I have not experience any freeze issues at all.

Has anybody else just really sucked since this patch came out?

I think I've gone about 3-18 in my franchise since it did, and even in one of those wins my starter gave up 7 runs. Nearly every game I've played since I downloaded it has been exactly the same: I can hit pretty much everything, but the ball always seems to wind up in a fielder's glove.

And my pitching line is usually something bizarre like this:
5.2 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 3 HR, 1 BB, 8 K

It's the weirdest thing. I know for sure it never happened with any of the older patches.

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

I d/l'ed the patch while my franshise was in April. It was a franchise started pre-patch. No problems with freezing and I was real happy. Then I got to May 1. Now when I play a game the audio is completely screwed up. The announcers disappear for a few batters at a time, and when they do talk they're behind the action a little. And if I'm losing going into the bottom of the 9th, it freezes before the 1st pitch is thrown in the inning. This only started happening after May 1. Thing is, it even does it when I'm completely out of my franchise and playing exhibition. So now I'm thinking it's my PS3? I will experimenting...but I may have to restart. Darn.
