Now with the death of 2K baseball, these number will increase a lot next year. How much? Who knows.

Why are you happy about the death of the other game and praising a potential increase in sales for the show next year? Do you receive any profits or are you just a fan. I will never understand this mentality by those who don't profit in any way when our choices for video games are reduced.

I was thinking the same thing. First off I feel bad for the 360 guys who can't afford a ps3 who will be without an updated baseball game. Second, the show will now have less competition driving them to make a better game.

Honestly though....no other game was a driving force for SCEA to make a better game.
Making a better game...and wanting to fulfill the communities wishes where possible is the real driving force behind SCEA.
(no matter how much some have tried to trod on the team with insulting and condescending posts....much to their credit IMO)

FWIW.

I don't consider this to be a condescending post, or an insulting one, but I believe SCEA messed up big time this year with their 'patches'. As if the practice of just patching games in favor of getting the games on the shelf wasn't bad enough, but then they caused a lot of folks to lose their seasons

(most aren't going to just delete their season and start over after having gone so far in, and most aren't going to just 'work around' the issue by not looking at box scores, schedules, etc.)

I think SCEA's saving grace is that they DON'T have competition next year, and I'm a SCEA fan. 2K quit being fun for me a long time ago. We'll see what happens. I'm eager to see how SCEA bounces back from this one.

They messed up, it's not a crime to admit it. But as far as Im concerned it's all fixed now and working.

But there's a bumch of few things that need to be fixed. Nothing major or show stopper. But sounds like they gave up on this year versions ( incl. Vita). We were used to higher standard than that from SCEA.

I've tried everything but my game still freezes at all different times. I've downloaded the newest patch, started new franchises and every time my system freezes at some point. I was wondering if using a downloaded roster set (OSFM) and/or importing a created player has anything to do with this? Also does anyone have any other tips I could try to get my system to stop freezing during franchise modes?

Re: MLB 12 The Show Game Update 1.21 Arrives, Details Included - Post Your Impression

yes and this is why we're still around.

found this.......

Since moving to the PlayStation 3, Sony's MLB: The Show has consistently ranked as one of the highest-rated sports franchises among media outlets. But despite critical acclaim, The Show has performed average at retail.
MLB 12: The Show -- 440,000 (PS3) + 70,000 (Vita) = 0.51 million total
MLB 11: The Show -- 490,000 (PS3) + 110,000 (PSP) + 130,000 (PS2) = 0.73 million total
MLB 10: The Show -- 680,000 (PS3) + 170,000 (PSP) + 410,000 (PS2) = 1.26 million total
MLB 09: The Show -- 680,000 (PS3) + 250,000 (PSP) + 330,000 (PS2) = 1.26 million total
MLB 08: The Show -- 680,000 (PS3) + 330,000 (PSP) + 420,000 (PS2)= 1.43 million total
MLB 07: The Show -- 300,000 (PS3) + 280,000 (PSP) + 930,000 (PS2) = 1.51 million total

the quantity sold drop in my opinion is just because alot of kids dont play or watch baseball anymore.
Its just not as popular as it was even a couple years ago.

Thats not really true for me though, as I havent watched a baseball game in 5 years, but I still buy this game every year because its so fricken good.
I just would hope they stop over patching the game next year for stupid stuff.

I admit though this game is getting to the point for myself, where if they dont add a create team, create stadium, or add some more generic stadiums with unique dimension a sights, I probably wont get this game any more.

Before this game I hated baseball because I thought it was boring.
Not anymore.

I was reading through the forums trying to find an answer and I am not sure if there was. I started a new franchise after I almost got to the all star game so that I can play with the players added and the new rosters. Whenever I get an extra base hit on the old franchise I shows how many doubles on the season on the new one it does not. I also had 4 or 5 throwing errors including all 3 double play balls and it showed everyone average at 0 not like it normally does at the start of a new season. I am not even sure which patch I am on. How do I download the new patch? How to I find out which patch I am on? Thanks for your help.

The latest patch should load automatically if your PS3 is connected to the internet.

Do you know why the scoreboard does not work correctly in one franchise mode but works in the other older franchise mode?

All that proved was that non PS3 sales are declining. PS3 was fairly consistent from 08-11. Only like a 200,000 drop from 08-11 and overall sales went down like .9M. So PS3 only contributed for like 20% of the drop.

And obviously the less systems the game is available for, the less games it'll sell. Look at those numbers for PSP, over 100,000 people buying it, despite the fact that PSP can be hacked easily(even a 10 year old could do it).

And the main thing for sports games, if there isn't a HUGE difference after a few years, fans might skip a year or two since the biggest change some people might start seeing, will just be roster updates. And that's something they can easily do themselves(or download from someone who is updating rosters for past games)

No, not from this little information...maybe that´s something for the bugs&glitches thread... Is one file pre patch and the other post patch?
