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

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

Question, without trying to sound redundant...

Russell mentioned that the patch included a fix for the "Lineup Glitch" where batting lineups would get screwed up during a franchise.

1) Does the "lineup glitch" only occur when Roster Control is set to ON? Or does it occur when it is set to OFF as well?

2) Even though he mentioned it is fixed...is it?

3) If I download the patch, start a franchise, and have Roster Control set to OFF, will I encounter the "lineup glitch"?

To answer this question, I suppose I should tell you I plan on using Knight's Full Minors Roster V.3 or later (ie...without "lineup glitch fix")

Thank you for your response!

Can someone pm me the 40 man DL issue

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

Sent you a PM Russell. Also, may want to look at this thread/post (here)

For everyone else (and please, correct me if im wrong) here is what was said (summed up). You ahve your 25 man roster (MLB) and your 40 man roster (that are "available" to your MLB roster). When a player gets injured and is put on the DL, you can bring a player up to replace him. When putting someone on the 60 day DL (in real life) they do not count against the 40 man roster. In The Show, anyone on the DL (15 day, 60 day etc) DOES count against the 40 man. So if, hypothetically, you injure 6 position players on your roster, you may have a ahrd time fielding a lineup as you cant put someone on the 60 day DL and sign a replacement (as in the real MLB).

Make sense?

Good explanation. The only thing I would add is that it affects more than just the 40 man roster, because if a minor leaguer goes on the 60 day, you can't sign a free agent to replace them. I've had my AA team forced to play with 21 players because there is no way to replace them, so putting a player on the DL in AA basically serves no purpose, because you can't replace them.

I wish you could have injuries and roster control on, but it sounds like that'd be a headache.

Yes...this is the big thing with it.
Also...isn't there something with injured players.....and the playoff rosters. You are supposed to be able to bring someone else up if a guy is injured, correct? I thought someone said that wasn't available either.

With the patch...the CPU will use the lineups in the roster control screens....CPU vs. CPU(simmed games)....but when you go to play a game....the CPU will then choose to use the logic based lineup instead of the set lineup(IN GAME...at the lineup screen everything looks like it's the set lineup)

Yeah I don't know what it is but the same thing happened to me. The 1st game after the patch I wasn't getting any post game highlights and then the 2nd game I got it. I was only able to play 2 games after the patch but will try to get in a few games tonite.

Mine was the other way around my first game I saw them all, and my second game is where I could not see the 8th and 9th innings

Its like its running out of space.......If you play a couple innings and fast forward, you can always see them. If you play it out, it stops recording in the later innings.

Just a shot in the dark-

How do you guys access the Bullpen and pinch hitters? I do it through hitting start. But it seems like it stops recording about the time of a pitching change......

I have always used start for pitching changes.....

I guess it could be like it's running out of room but why would that change since the patch came out. Thats my only question
