RTTS Crash and Burn

[jmik58]

In my 2nd season I was named to the 40 man roster at the beginning of spring (Mariners organization). At the conclusion of my AAA season I was called up to the big club to help finish out an atrocious season in Seattle.

I sit for about a week before getting a game in. My first big league experience comes against the LAA Angels and Ervin Santana, who goes the distance for the CG shutout. Needless to say I went 0-4.

A painful introduction to the majors but a very rewarding experience after working through to that point.

Not as painful as what was about to happen though....

So I get back to the schedule and click to sim to my next experience...the screen goes black and my PS3 restarts itself. ????

I try again and again and again...even delete the d/l and reinstall, no luck.

So now I'm stuck with an unusable RTTS career that was finally getting interesting.

It took so much time and batting practice to get to that point, I'm so pissed and unmotivated to start a new one, yet I know I will eventually.

Does anyone know what the problem is and if it's repairable? Has anyone had this issue?

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

Did you try simming the season or to a certain date, instead of to your next appearance?

Yes I think I tried everything imaginable. I tried forcing trades, making the manager mad... you name it.

September 14, 2010 is apparently the end of the world, lol.

Forget the Mayans and 2012... we've got only a year and a half left... SCEA SAID SO!

I had the same exact thing happen. Do you remember what the date was? I was still in the minors when it happen to me. Has anybody made it past their second season in RTTS without this happening?

Haha, that's what the September 14, 2010 thing was all about

Oh, I gotcha. It sucks. I was so pissed when this happened to me the other day. I'm curious as to why this happens. I'm also nervous to start another RTTS until other people start reporting this.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

Same thing happened to me, but I played the September 14th game and it crashes siming past the 15th 2009. What a crock. I just have this feeling they may fix it, but we will have to start over our Rtts player. Such frustration, to put in time and effort for it to be wiped away with a stupid bug.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

I haven't gotten as far as September 14, 2010 yet in my RTTS career, but Wow, this is certainly disheartening to hear that so many of you are having the same issue. This really needs to be addressed in an upcoming patch because a ton of work goes into a RTTS career and then just destroyed like that? Absolutely unacceptable.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

Wow, this is scary stuff. I hope one of the SCEA guys see this thread.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

same thing happened to me. I've noticed when it happens is that its when I play the game that is the same day as the end of my advancement goals. I don't know if its the same for you. Its like the game doesnt notice that the goals are done...tries to add more to them and then crashes.

I loaded mine a few more times and simmed a week or so and got it to continue. When it gets to the end of the advancement goals I sim the week and haven't had it happen since. Helps that I'm a pitcher though. Don't have to miss as many games.

Definitely something that needs patched.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

I'm in 2012 with no problems right now. I had problems loading the game the other day but I was able to get it working just fine. No problems with RTTS though.

Re: RTTS Crash and Burn

I'm surprised that some of you are having the same issues as me and it's on the SAME date.

One of you hit it on the head earlier when you alluded to the time that goes into RTTS mode.

I can't possibly count the number of times I took batting practice and the at-bats.

I think the thing that really sets it off is that it happened to me THE DAY AFTER i finally got the call up.

I took Batting Practice the day before in Safeco and it was just awesome after playing in cruddy minor league stadiums. My first at-bat in the majors, the stands were PACKED and roaring... it was fantastic. Plus, Safeco is set up such that it towers around you in the outfield as well.

I really don't want to start over but I fear I have no choice but to.

Who knows if a patch would even fix this when you're already stuck. I don't know if it's something that can be duplicated so a patch can be created, since it's not happening to everyone.

So perhaps there is hope still. Do you recall whether you actually played or simmed through September 14, 2010? If you simmed, it may have kept you from meeting the end of the world...
