Re: 1.16 update?

I know I asked once, but no one has answered my question so I'll be a pest and ask again. lol Does anyone know how to stop the game from prompting me to download the patch, because I don't plan to download it. Many thanks.

Press circle when it prompts you instead of X.

Although I read your post from earlier and I've never heard of it prompting someone for a patch in the middle of a game. Only when starting up the game or attempting to go online (you won't be able to play online or use the vaults without the latest patch)

Re: 1.16 update?

Go to the XMB and disable your internet connection under the Network Settings section. Re-enable your internet when you use it for other games.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: 1.16 update?

My Orioles franchise was at April 22. I DLed the patch, played the first game the Toronto series, and saved. No problems whatsoever. No crazy records. No freezing.

Yeah I have been pressing circle at the beginning of the game, but several times during my last game it popped up in the middle of the game. Which isnt what you want to have happening when trying to rally from 6 runs down against your division rival.

Re: 1.16 update?

Post patch my RTTS is freezing and I can no longer play. I was in June 2015. Will try to delete the patch and hope for the best.

Re: 1.16 update?

I am on May 10th in my Yankees chise I started after the 1.06 patch froze my previous one. I simmed to about August 26th, and checked the records, and stats. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I am going to simulate to the end of the season later just to test it out and see if anything messes up.

Re: 1.16 update?

yea... everyone beware. I downloaded the patch, went into my franchise with the Braves (was like 86-40 something). Lost a game vs the Phillies and it put me in last place at 86-170. It also now freezes when trying to advance the schedule.


Make sure to keep a separate save file. Only one's it hasn't affected were the franchise files not past the all-star break.

EDIT: It also affected my PREVIOUS save file as well so it seems that downloading this patch will screw any franchise file it can. Good job. Good freakin job. There goes a franchise file that was in the last effin week of the season in which I played EVERY SINGLE GAME.

Re: 1.16 update?

I can't comment on Franchise as I only do RttS. My RttS seems to be fine. I've played a game and saved. In RttS I only do the hitting opportunities and let the game sim everything else, for the record. So if you play RttS same as me you should be OK. Haven't had freezes or any issues.

Re: 1.16 update?

Guys, please listen:

Save your franchise onto a flashdrive BEFORE downloading the patch. That way, if it corrupts your saves, all is not lost!

Do not risk everything. Back it up before proceeding forward.

Re: 1.16 update?

I did save my file before the patch (I ALWAYS keep a 2nd save file updated every in-game week).

Problem is I loaded it up and the issue affected it as well (I didn't even save the file it just becomes "infected" by loading it up).

So the real tip here is to NOT load up any franchise after the all-star break if you have the patch installed.

I'm currently restoring my system (from having to power off while frozen). Will delete patch and report findings shortly.

I read on the Show nation someone deleted the patch and it reverted back to where he was before. Give it a try.

That's good advice, but we shouldn't have to account for a patch breaking the game.

You'd have to delete every single patch though, right?

You can't just delete one, can you?

Unless you keep overwriting saves(and at this point...why would you) and older save shouldn't get corrupted though.
Although having backups elsewhere(USB and on your PC as well) isn't a bad idea!

No. That's not what I was saying.

I mean back up your franchise on a zip drive.

DL the patch.

Try out your franchise.

If it freezes or glitches out, delete the patch.

Insert the zip drive and copy your franchise back onto the PS3.
