    MLB 12 The Show Title update 1.06 Schedule Issue

    Schedule changes were made in the latest patch to ensure the schedule
    matched the MLB 2012 season schedule as best as possible. Unfortunately, the schedule changes in update 1.06 may cause freezing issues for users in Franchise, RTTS, and Season modes, not allowing you to progress in your season

    This may lead to the game hanging at a particular point, after loading the file. Another consequence is that for a few teams, the season
    will finish with only 161 games completed.

    PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT SEASONS CREATED AFTER THE PATCH
    AND MOST USERS WILL NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

    This occurs with a select set of teams and days in the schedule. At this point, we agree with the thorough explanation from "Bobhead," but
    we are verifying ourselves (big thanks to Bobhead and bkrich). Please read his information below and we will reply with details as soon as it becomes available.

    * If you have not started a Franchise, RTTS, or Season then disregard this
    message, as you will not encounter these issues.
    * If you have a save file that is past May 1st then you should also not
    encounter these issues.
    * These issues affect users who started franchises, RTTS's, or seasons
    BEFORE downloading the patch, and users who have used the Cross Platform
    Saves feature on the PlayStation VITA.
    * If you are starting a new mode after downloading the patch, you should
    not load a pre-patch existing save file.

    Note, we are currently investigating season schedule issues reported with
    cross platform saves. For now, you may want to avoid transferring save
    files in the month of April (each season).


    For those experiencing this problem, please read the instructions below.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Conditions
    You are at risk for the issue if you meet all three of the following
    conditions:

    - You already started the Franchise, Season mode, or Road to the Show mode
    BEFORE downloading the patch; OR you have played and saved your file from
    your Playstation Vita
    - Have started the regular season in the game file (ie: you're done with
    Spring Training)
    - Your team is Oakland, Seattle, Kansas City, or Miami, or you have
    completed 1 or more games against one of these teams.
    - You are loading pre-patch saves in the month of April, after patching.

    --------------------

    The following only works for a franchise, RTTS, or Season mode file that
    was last saved BEFORE downloading the patch. If you have saved or autosaved
    your game since downloading the patch, the workaround is unlikely to work
    for you.

    1. Quit The Show and go to the XMB menu in your PS3.
    2. Go to the "Game" sub-menu (the one you go to to start The Show), and
    scroll up to the "Game Data Utility" folder
    3. Find the file named "MLB 12 The Show Additional Content"
    4. Press Triangle and Delete the file
    5. Start The Show, and load up any RTTS, franchise, or Season mode file you
    wish to keep. You will be prompted regularly to download the patch
    throughout the remaining steps. Do NOT download the patch. For convenience,
    disconnect your PS3 from the internet.
    6. Complete ALL the games in April, either by playing them, simming them,
    whatever. This can be done at any pace, and you can save your game at any
    time.
    7. Use the "Sim to next day" feature to ensure that "today" is actually May
    1st. It's not enough to just finish the last game on April 30th, you have
    to actually advance into the month of May.
    8. Save your game.
    9. Download the patch.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If your game file met the conditions at the top of the page, then until
    further notice, you should not:

    - View the schedule for the month of April, for one of the "at-risk" teams
    defined at the top.
    - View any box scores for any games that occurred in the month of April
    - Use the "Cloud" feature or transfer any "at-risk" (see above) files
    between the Vita and PS3

    Special thx to bkrich83 and Bobhead for their help

    Well that sucks!

    What day did the patch come out? I started my franchise in the afternoon of Thursday April 12. I really hope I had downloaded the patch before that. After 9 games I have had no freezing issues.

      thank you for taking the time out to explain and help with the situation. a few others and myself have also had freezes while playing exhibition games. where as the game never froze once on me before the patch since its release I have had 5 lock ups that didnt exist before the patch. perhaps these can be looked in to? the situations that led to the freezing are listed below.

      -twice it has happened after a ball bounced over the wall on a ground rule double

      -once it was when my pitcher was throwing a ball and he froze. you could still hear the sound effect of the ball hitting the catchers glove, but the ball was never thrown and the game froze on that.

      - one I had just today was that my outfielder simply froze in the field on a line drive, the ball went to the wall. no one went to get it, the cpu got an in the park home run, and the screen simply stayed on that.

      - another one today was the game locked up when I edited my starting line up in the pre game screen after downloading todays roster update.

      (all of these happened while I was using the mets, but against different opponents in different stadiums.)

        If you haven't had any issues sim to May 1st and you will be completely out of the clear.

            i would like to know if all the people that downloaded the patch and then erased the patch and restarted there franchises and are still having major freezing issues, if that is being looked into? i find it odd that someone would have no real problems (basically) except the start times, download the patch, have a bunch of freezing problems, then follow the suggestions on this site to erase the patch, and then still have a bunch of freezing problems

                I really don't want to sim because I want to play all 162.
                What about creating a second save and if something does mess up before May 1st, I can just load that other save up and sim then. Would that be a useful work around with us that want to play all 162? Kind like a fail safe if some does happen.

                  You are a wonderful man, Mr. Russell Ramone Personally, fellas .... just start over your Season, Franchise, or RTTS to avoid this issue. Look at it like this: You can choose to either lose 40 days of gaming (March 6th to mid-April) or you can sacrifice this little amount of time and be Worry Free from mid-April 2012 to early march 2013 -- around 316 Days Have Fun and thanks for your goodness and mercy Mods

                    Just sim without saving. If you get no freezes, that's a pretty good indication you'll be safe playing all the games.

                    FYI the patch came out early in the morning on the 13th (the next day after you started). My guess is you didn't make it deep enough into April to reach whatever the cutoff date is for the schedule conflict. Keep in mind that's only a guess, though. To be certain, you'd need to know how many days into the regular season you were, before you went to bed that night on the 12th.

                      ok, but what about people that downloaded the patch, started a franchise and are getting multiple freezes? those freezes weren't there before the patch

                        I'm with the Red Sox, my game froze on 26.04. Simulated that game now, it's okay...

                            Russell,

                            What about the Vita? Apparently even if you start a franchise after the patch, you still can't use the cross-platform feature as it will make the schedules incorrect again.
