The Show Live?

[AJColossal]

Looking forward to using this feature, but I'm noticing that all of the pitching matchups still look off (Bedard vs. Perez in the opener Sunday is not correct).

Anyone have any insight to how exactly this works? For example, for the Sunday night opener, will the lineups and pitching matchups be set before the game, or will it updated after the game ends?

I think it's supposed to update just before or just after first pitch but I'm not positive.

I wonder how accurate it'd be though. Unless changes made last min or something,pitching matchups are known like 3-4 days in advance. And hopefully "yesterday" lineups are used for the next days game if they aren't able to get the correct lineup(since lineups aren't usually posted on mlb.com till an hour or so before game starts?)

Re: MLB Live?

The only thing we know is that they are supposed to pull data from the mlb.com feeds. So whatever that means.

FYI, The Show Live opening night lineups have now been updated.

Re: MLB Live?

Looks to me like only the pitching matchup and maybe the Rangers lineup is updated. The Houston lineup looks the same as it has.

Line ups haven't been released yet. I think they get released between 1 - 3 hours before game time.

That's what I thought too but the poster above said they were updated.

Wonder how this gonna work. Ronny Cedeño was picked up late. Also Brandon Barnes made the team which he isn't on the online rosters. Will this mean he have to get at bat to show up in The Show.

Re: MLB Live?

My hope is that if a rookie is starting, they wait until just after first pitch to update the MLB Live roster with that rookie playing. At that point, there shouldn't be an MLBPA problem, right?

Re: MLB Live?

From the explanation, the rosters/lineups come directly from MLB.com. So, when they are updated, it should come through. If you go to the lineups on MLB.Com, they are showing as not available, but the Probable Pitching Matchup is. So, that would make sense that the pitching matchup was updated, but not the lineups.

This is a guess, and not meant to be the definitive answer.

Re: MLB Live?

The Astros-Rangers game looks to have been updated.

Hopefully this is time of day that night games get updated by.

Pitching matchups I guess also won't be updated till day of game. Cause doesn't look like opening day starters are updated.

Indians-Jays game I know it's Masterson vs Dickey, but the game has it Matsuzaka vs Romero(neither of which are on MLB rosters)

Wonder how they'd go about it on days where some games start at 1pm, others start at 7pm. Do they try to update all at once, or diff times of day...Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

I wouldn't mind how updated it was, if we were able to edit lineups/pitching matchups ourselves.

The Astros still don't match the lineup on mlb.com though, at least on the Vita version.

Yeah, they're not likely to update pitchers till gameday due to late scratches and whatnot.
