You're asking the wrong question, particularly as a consumer. And the great idea of "fixing it in next year's version" is completely unacceptable.

Try this instead:

Dear SCEA,

In regards to the outstanding 'issues' with your product 'MLB '09:

The Show', WHEN can I expect a timely, thoroughly tested patch that fixes these issues?

If no patch is made available within a reasonable time frame from today, I'm sure you understand that that will certainly reflect upon my decision whether or not to purchase next year's version?

Sincerely,
John Q. Customer

Note that the question about IF a patch will be released is moot. I imagine SCEA is well aware that the most serious of these issues must be fixed and that the time between now and the announcment of the 'real' patch is simply a triage period. Unless, of course, they are willing to accept the consequences (PR and sales, for example) of not doing so.

Could the "fix" made to the schedules be causing these crashes to existing franchises? Im playing as the Dodgers and when you guys made changes to the schedule you added a game to the opening day series with San Diego, previously it was a 3 game series and after the fix its a 4 game series, but since I was already well beyond this it appears to be throwing every subsequent game off which is what led me to believe that it had to do with the schedule being corrected. Ive mentioned this a few times but would like some more definite feedback from a developer here if at all possible.

Side note, when deleting the patch off my system I can play the game just fine so my crashes has nothing to do with some pre-existing condition that I might have had prior to the download of the patch.

The relief pitcher's innings pitched was correct, I had post-game replays, and I even checked the Cubs schedule and saw more day games, all with no problems. With all of the problems others have had though, I'm a bit worried about continuing. I'm only 7 games in, so it might be easier to start over and not have to worry about it than have to worry about getting farther in and losing all of my work. For the people who had the crash, did it happen as soon as you started post-patch, or could you play a few games without a problem?

My crash happened right away. I read somewhere here on OS previously that when they fixed the schedules it didnt include all the teams in the MLB so now Im wondering if your team wasnt fixed or corrected will you not get these crashes? Maybe they didnt alter the Cardinals schedule at all?

I will be the first to admit that there are a multitude of things I'd like to see fixed (lineup control, rotation control, stats etc), but first should be the ability to keep people's existing franchises and RTTS working. Im "lucky" in the sense that I waited for the patch before i really started, but some people are 40-50 games in and having it crash on them. Thats not right imo. Hopefully things get fixed for them (and I wouldnt mind a few items on my/others list either). Hang in there OS'ers

See, the thing is I'm not having any of those problems. The day I got the game, march 3rd, I started a franchise and RTTS. I played the franchise for maybe 3-4 days, about 25-30 games in with a few played. Left it alone after that and played RTTS. I'm in 2013 with rtts right now. I fired up my franchise after almost 6 weeks and it's playing flawlessly, no crashes no nothing, same with RTTS. So I'll say the patch isn't to blame. There was already something wrong with other peoples saves before the patch. It's more of the game creating faulty saves that end up being corrupted somehow.
