I wouldn't count on it

I suppose I can understand that, Russell. Even I don't really expect to see any player change from a C potential to an B potential in one weeks time. I do believe, however, that potential should have the ability to change during the year. I think 1 week is too short, however, it's possible a player's potential could change in a period of 2 -4 months. I think SCEA should at least be open to that possibility. If not, I hope you can explain the reasons why.

First i'm glad there doing a mini patch to help things out but for me and many others the lineup glitch is by far the most important thing and reading back i don't remember it being addressed in the new patch, is this correct? I know theres a work around for this but now i'll have to spend a another $60 dollors to play this game making it about a $125 game? Is that fair? If there is away to do this with 1 controller i'd be glad to hear it.

You might be able to use a computer controller as the second controller if you have one of those. Could try the Ps3 remote too i guess.

I believe Rod_Carew had a one controller option but i don't know the link to the thread.

I love how it's Cubs fans' fault now that there are issues with the game.


WHATEVER.

Well, folks, let's face it, they are going to release patch 2.5 to fix the replays and that's it. They aren't even going to fix the stuff they SAID they fixed in the second patch like the CPU roster control on lineup problem.

It's late, and I have had a long day, and quite frankly, my momma always said if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all, so...............................................

Yea, I think it was actually an extra game for the Dodgers/SD from what has been posted or it was Steve Bartman's fault.

Here's my take..

Patch your game....eat a little you know what(blech!) and move on to your new franchise.
Trust me...I know all about investing time only to have things not kind of go your way...just shrug and focus on the positives!
Just think...you guys get to do the FUN part over again!

Since I'm not quite grasping the intricacies of the franchise crashes and the extra game between the Dodgers and Pads, can someone who does let me know... I have a Mets franchise using the second SCEA roster after opening day, currently on April 24th (against the Nats). Is there any reason to anticipate my franchise becoming fubar, or am I in the clear to keep going? I downloaded the most recent patch, obviously.

Honestly I couldnt tell you. If it hasnt crashed yet then thats a good sign but thats not to say that when you play one of the teams who had their schedule fixed, or games added, that it wont crash then. When it crashes its obvious as it will kick you clear back to the XMB.

Best I would say is keep playing and if it crashes then delete the patch, play the series your in and reinstall the patch after that and see if that works. In the end its completely up to you.

Understatement of the year!

I wanted to complain about losing my RTTS 3 seasons in until I realized how much more time you've put into your rosters.

I wish there was somebody that could fix the historical stat glitch. Heaven knows I tried. Someone that works so hard and is such a good person doesn't deserve your headaches. Here's hoping.

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

Well, it finally happened. I didn't get my replays and when I went into the Vault, and chose some plays, it showed the batter and no one else, lol. The ball was hit and then jiggled around the infield, lol. Weird, to say the least.

Here is what I did different tonight from what I normally do. When they did a flashback for a player that hit a HR, I skipped it, which I normally don't do at all.

Also, at the end of the game instead of watching and listening to everything and NEVER pressing X, I was impatient because it is very very late and I wanted to go to bed, so I started pressing X thinking once I got to the part where they usually show highlights it would show them.
But, no, it just ended after it looked like it was going to show the highlights. Then in the vault the replays were messed up like I described above. I will definitely not be pressing X from now on at the end of the game. Maybe it was coincidence, but that was the only thing I did different this time.

Guess I will be getting the mini-me patch next week afterall.

You guys not getting replays do you make sure you never press X at the end of the game and let it all play out?

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

I am pretty sure that was not their plan. But I am sure it will get fixed.

Except it's already basically been confirmed that it's not getting fixed.

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

Its not getting fixed, plain and simple. Russell himself finally addressed it with the post that I quoted initially and if they were going to fix it they certainly wouldnt be telling people to start their franchises over, that would make no sense at all. Face it, we got hosed if we had pre-patch franchises so other "important" things could get fixed. Do I believe they set out to do this on purpose? Of course not, Im not an idiot. Is it a huge letdown to hear that they are in essence doing nothing to resolve this problem? Yes it is.

Yeah, that's a fine way to thank the people who bought the game early on and helped it put up huge sales numbers. I definitely see where you are coming from. Obviously the issue wasn't intentional, but the fact that they are basically telling you to start over is definitely a slap in the face.

Well, folks, let's face it, they are going to release patch 2.5 to fix the replays and that's it. They aren't even going to fix the stuff they SAID they fixed in the second patch like the CPU roster control on lineup problem.

It's late, and I have had a long day, and quite frankly, my momma always said if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all, so...............................................

Well, a fix to the replays is better than nothing... I'm glad there is at least some resolution.

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

Wow, I just got done with my online game between the sox and cubs at the cell, and it went 20 freaking innings. Top 20th, I pinch hit big-z, he goes yard. Cubs win 2-1. I'm pumped, because I'm going to save the replay or whatever, but guess what? It doesn't work. fail.

For some reason, the highlights get skipped after the game, and I can't check out my plays in the replay vault. Very depressing. Also, sportsconnect has been blocking me out of online sometimes, claiming there is another user logged in. WTF? Also, after a game, the results sometimes show either me or my opponent was the orioles, when neither of us were them. idk.

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

I downloaded an earlier version of Knights roster and started a franchise. Now about about 18 games into this franchise ( i follow the real season) i turned on the game an the patch updated the game. Now its been 4 games since and i havent seen ONE thing different. My replay vault works, post game highlights work. The Cpu still sets the lineup the way it wants ( i play with roster control on), but thats the way it was before. My question is, why is only some peoples game having problems???????? If i had to grade this patch i would say WHAT PATCH? nothings seems to be different in regards to replays and highlights and lineups etc....
