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

Downloaded the patch this afternoon, loaded up my post 1.16 OSFM v. 4(one of them) Braves franchise, in the 2012 World Series.

Played one game, went well as far as gameplay, no freezing, etc. Game I played today seemed pretty much like the game I played last night, can't tell much from one game I guess. Game was 2-1, a little low scoring, but it's the playoffs, it happens. Since I'm in the playoffs, definitely can say that there are still no playoff box scores available from the schedule screen, at least so far (I was already in the playoffs when I downloaded the patch, so that could be an issue); but then they didn't say they were fixing that yet, so I reckon they'll get to it when they get to it.

One strange thing happened, and I'm going to put it in the bug thread, but thought I'd mention it briefly here just in case it is directly patch related: foul pop into 3rd base stands, should have been 15-20 rows back easily, magically curves back to the third baseman, who is running like crazy up against the wall. I have a video of it--for the bug thread, but also because it was crazy and pretty cool.

Edit: Well, so then I found somebody (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2043600415) with the same foul ball issue almost a month ago, it's not patch related, so just ignore that last bit, I'll go post it in the bug thread. My impression so far is, then, patch seems fine. Carry on.

Then don't ask. One thing I figured out long ago is to avoid bug posts. You may never notice it.

Inevitably however someone is going to reply and tell you and from then on out you will see it.

I never go in the bugs threads either....for any games.

But this one? How can't you notice it. It is flat out obvious.

I played 2011 last night again (find myself playing it more again) and the ticker is clean then I played a game on 12 and it's there smakcing me in the face LOL.....I can live with it....but man that was one I don't understand in how it made it through to retail. So obvious. Wish they could fix that. It is annoying knowing it worked on last years game.

Oh well. It's the only thing I noticed on this game that has stuck out like a bug to me.

I don't think it was out of the box.
It was "introduced" by the first patch I believe.

Yep, there was some other far more minor glitch where stuff that was SUPPOSED to be decimals (like ERA) showed up as just a single whole number... they tried to fix it in the second patch (technically the first patch was on release day), and then this happened.

Or something like that. It definitely wasn't in the retail copy though.

**armymule** · 05-23-2012, 08:20 AM

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

Yeah. It was a fix for no decimals in earned run average but the change added the two decimal places to all the stats. Ya'd hafta think the change was made by in inexperienced coder and wasn't checked by quality control.

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

My biggest gripe is that they would fire the drunk they hired as scorekeeper and bring someone in that knew the rules of errors and who men on base belonged to and what the **** an earned run was. If that got done I would be super happy....oh yeah and if they would fore Karros and rehire Hud but that's a non-patch issue.

So my wonder is.....why was it not addressed? That is not a minor detail. And it is a little surprising that they did not fix that code on this patch. I know they are aware of it.

Anyway. Back to playing The Show tonight.....like every night.

I can't apply this patch. Everytime I hit ok it just reboots my ps3 and I get that failed to shut off properly error.

So now I just hit cancel and keep playing with the old version.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I keep backing out of the menu that prompts the download and keep playing my franchise as is...

I'm in 2013 and the number of roster moves, etc would kill me to lose...

I keep checking in, but haven't seen a definitive answer...

Does this patch freeze existing franchise?

Thanks!

I have not had any issues at all since this all started....once I loaded the last patch i started my franchise, so when 1.21 came out I was nervous, but i have played several games and all is good.........

I did have one cool thing happen (maybe it has always been there), but I had a bat fly into the crowd out of my batters hand.....never had that happen in almost 50 games, then i downloaded new patch and it happened.

My previously frozen RTTS now works fine. Awesome.

My previous franchise that worked fine is now missing from the hard drive. No I did not delete it accidentally or overwrite it. I just played it the other night and now it is nowhere to be found.

Actually, when I select Franchise and "Continue" one of my RTTS files is actually available to load but with the datestamp from when I last played my franchise. Seriously. I select franchise and it offers me a RTTS file. I tried loading it for the heck of it, thinking perhaps my franchise file somehow got renamed and it says "this load file is no longer valid".

Also, I noticed that in RTTS I cannot turn off the Post-Game Auto Save feature even with the appropriate option selected (that is, set to "OFF").

This is obviously a minor issue but it is kind of annoying because I like to turn that off to save myself the extra 10 seconds in between games.

No idea why this happens.

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

^^make sure you save your settings after you turn Auto-Save off, or it will revert to the previous everytime you load your RTTS.

Impressions of 1.21 update, after 3 games played and simming without saving:

- No freezing or boxscore/schedule problems whatsoever! Then again, I didn't have any issues with any of the previous patches

- There is the minor thing of the ticker showing Interleague results, followed by AL and NL results too. Not sure if it was already present before 1.21.

- Since I'm in the middle of an Interleague series, I can't check for the decimals in the league leaders stats, as the don't show during interleague.

- Luis Marte, who was basically lights out for me, has given up the lead and got the loss in 2 straight appearances (in the same week)! Ok, that one is purely coincidental, but still LOL.

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

love this game a lot but when i downloaded the update, everything went downhill and now i am mad at it

I have ZERO offense since the update. i have played three games and been shut out in every one. I have not made contact with the ball even though i get "perfect" timing (i use timing hitting). I estimate that i am 0-20 on "perfect" swings. my hits in the 3 games are 2, 1, and 4.

I used to have grew games, 4-3, 5-6 2-1. now i can't score a flippin run!

aggravating.......

There wasn't one line of code changed in the hitting portion of the game. None at all.
