That´s essentially what I was trying to say. Think about it, would you jump in here, read 28 threads with 58 posts (just random numbers)each where everybody (well almost) jumps on your back because you messed sth up? I would not.

Alright finally finished reading every page of all these threads. Correct me if I'm missing something. The problems people are exp. are franchise crashing, no end of game highlight real, and RTTS crash. Is that it or am I missing some?

Russell, I started a clean franchise post patch install using Knights V2 rosters. No crashing issues, BUT the post game highlights have disappeared completely.

You really don't want to know

Slippery slope, don't say anything.

Fix the replays and I'm good. They worked pre-patch. The Historical glitch appears to be gone.

One thing, and I don't think it should matter is that this was a 2 team franchise. But it was brand new after the patch so I don't see how that would have effected re-plays.

Line-ups glitch not sticking(I don't want to buy another controller just to make it work, DH getting very tired too fast glitch and the 60 day DL glitch and the things you posted..

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

You are simply wrong here. You think people should have to rest a full time DH? Is running the bases once or twice a day as hard on the body as playing the outfield? That's what the Show thinks and it was never done like this in the past. It was fine last year and now it's broken. I don't know how on earth you think the DH fatigue is not broken.

Managers use players at DH to give them some rest. It's almost like a full day off. Leyland was doing this with Guillen and Ordonez in the first series against Toronto. Maybe you should move along.

Show me evidence that DHs play more games than position players? If DHs didn't fatigue in this game, they would be playing in too many games. Yes, managers rest players at DH, but the Show could not incorporate this unless DHing was equivalent to a day off. If this was programmed, DHs would always have perfect fatigue and would be playing in too many games in a season. There's no "DH bug" because it works in the game as the programmers intended.

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

Personally i don't care about an apology i don't need it. I bought a ps3 just for this game last year. I paid $60 for this game to play correct..

I did the same thing last year. After buying MLB 2k I was pissed because that was a horrid game. So I sold my 360 and bought the ps3 and this game. My point is, once you get into the game it's the best. Even with the problems, do you really want the alternative?? If 2k made a great game as well and it didn't have the same issues The Show has this year, then yea, it would be hard not to say, "the hell with The Show!!". But the alternative is a really bad sim of baseball.

If you have the time, you can do what's necessary to make this game really fun. I chose that route. At this point Scea KNOWS the issues and I'm sure they are working hard to fix the problems.

After the 100th complaint.....what good does it do to make 101?? Some guys are calling them out over and over and it's just piling on at this point.

Think about it, if you made a mistake at your job with a customer and several brought that mistake to your attention...would it not frustrate you that you were trying to help but couldn't cause those same customers wouldn't leave you alone and let you work on the problem??

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but is the disabled list fixed yet? Are we able to sign FA's without releasing someone?

I haven't been having many problems other than that, so I don't want to risk anything with the patch unless that has been fixed.

The issues being reported are as follows (dont know if some of these were before patch or not)

- Existing franchise/RTTS crashing
- no end of game highlights
- no players on field and bad graphics for replay (only last play available)
- With roster control "ON", lineups not sticking (the workaround is to set them after spring training, which doesnt seem right, should be able to set in main menu imo)
- 60 day DL not working right (think this was pre-patch too)
- Some people ahve said dialogue still mixed (Delgado/Beltran). Doesnt matter to me, but some people are reporting it
- No way to get correct stats on old rosters (had to throw it in there )
- No flashback replays being reported by some (fistofrage had no flashbacks or replays i believe)

on an individual note
- for what its worth (not much at this point), i think we should be able to set any/all lineups in main menu, and then have the CPU address only when a change is needed. This would be with roster control off. So we set in main menu, it carries forward to a franchise, and CPU sticks with it until an injury, this would allow for accurate lineups/rosters to begin, but then your new lineup logic could take over. Same with rotations. Im tired of facign John Smoltz, then Dice-K and then Beckett, Beckett is their ace, he should be their #1 starter (until injury).

Any who, hope this helps Russell, and thanks for the input/feedback.

I agree with you. I have both systems and i agree that SCEA does a way better job at Baseball games, but i just wanted them to know how i felt about all these glitches that's all. They said they fixed the
line-up glitch, but it's still there. All i want is that they really fix these issues.

Is this for every game?

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

Yea, it would be great to buy MLB 2k next season. I'm already looking forward to it.

LOL
I'll stick with a few broken issues in the show too.
In fact mabey I'll just dust off my glove and ball and head outside next year. LOL

Russell,

I don't know if this helps you, but with CPU roster control ON, you set your lineups, and it is the end of spring training that scrambles the lineups again before the season starts. (It appears the CPU is trying to decide which lineup is best again on its own, so if you could "turn that decision making off", it may be a way to fix the problem.

If you then go in and redo the CPU lineups, it will mostly stick for simmed games (when you check the box scores they are correct now), but not for played games as I mentioned to you before in my PM and post. You have to use 2 controllers to get around it as mentioned to you before.

Some have reported if there is then player fatigue, the CPU will try to decide on its own again how to set the lineups and not go by the CPU roster control lineup settings the user puts in. I have not personally seen it, but it seems logical.

You responded that the computer is making its game time decision. Maybe you guys can turn that game time decision off completely somehow when CPU roster control is ON. There is no need for it on this mode.

Pitching Rotations stick in both CPU roster control on and off

FYI, you still need to log into Sports Connect (the workaround) to get the SCEA 4/20 roster to be career stat glitch free if you load it from your HDD. If you don't log into SC, people like A-rod still have 0 HRs and such.

The 4/27 roster is fine even without logging into Sports connect to load it the second time after your PS3 is off. But, what will happen next week after the next SCEA roster is released? It may then need the workaround to have correct career stats if you don't already have the franchise saved. (save franchises everyone) It would be ideal if you didn't need the workaround, but it is still is doable.

Some people have replay problems, but I don't. Why some people do and some don't I am not sure about. I am using a brand NEW franchise with 4/27 rosters FYI.

The things I posted here I tested extensively. I am not sure about the other stuff not posted. Hope some of this helps you guys. Thanks, brotha
