I didn't go back to find my post (like looking for the Loch Ness Monster this thread is so big), but didn't mean for it to sound that way. This is a mess. My point is we probably get what we ask for sometimes. Man, next year people are going to want a new swing stick, different pitching mechanics, collision detection, new player models, on and on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Fix THIS game, lol.

Yes, next year, please leave the core gameplay in place and fix the problems.

This is a solid playing baseball game that just needs some things fixed (like how errors are recorded, improve lineup logic (one thing that may need added is to add most common batting order to players or something like Knight and I discussed before), fix CPU roster control ON, fix DL problem, fix DH's fatiguing too much, allow players potential to be edited to make things easier for Knight and other roster editors, but only if it doesn't cause more problems, and make sure stats work correctly). I am sure I am forgetting some things that need fixed.

Other than that, I would be happy if they just fix some stadiums (Bail-out Field), unis, and the usual stuff.

I am worried if they try to implement R stick batting and pitching it will mess with the core gameplay. I sometimes play MLB 2K9, and after the novelty of swinging and pitching wears off, it is just as "boring" as the Shows hitting and pitching mechanic. So I hope they don't bother next year.

Same with me...everything still works perfectly for me. I'm wondering what the deal is why it is affecting some folks and not others.

Yea, everything was working fine for me too, but about 12 games into my Franchise, I finally got the no Replays glitch, and when I went to view things in the vault, all replays only had one player hitting and no one on the field. The ball would get hit and then jiggle around to wherever it was hit.

The only thing different I did last night was I kept pressing X at the end of the game to skip through stuff since I was tired. I normally just listen to the whole thing and let it run on its own.

I decided not to save that franchise game because of it, plus it was my excuse for not saving a game where I got pounded 8-1, lol.

I'm going to play today, and hopefully the replays will be back to normal.

I assume that was the case, unless the original Show had a Dodgers/Padres series that was one game too long later in the year.
Too bad they didn't program in provisions for rainouts. Maybe we could have gone back and rescheduled that missed game.

The original game had no game for the Dodgers-Padres on April 7 when in reality they did have a game. It, however, had a game scheduled on October 1 between the two teams that is not on the real schedule.

So the "no replays glitch" only occurs AFTER the game is over? Or are we talking about DURING game? I"m confused here.

I think both. There are supposed to be replays done for each inning, as well as post game. People have been mentioning problems with both set of replays. A forthcoming patch is supposed to fix the problem.

Only after the game from my understanding. However, I just finished a ST game and had no problems with the highlights. Deleted everything The Show related on my HDD, downloaded the patch and started a new franchise.

Oh, really?! Just ignore my post above if that´s the case.

Somebody,
I never downloaded anyone's updated rosters or any of that jazz, and Im 2/3rds of the way through a franchise while just playing the game as it was. If i download this patch will I have crashing problems and have to start my franchise over?

Don't even chance it. Just keep enjoying the game.

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

I got my replays back this time by just not pressing X at all at the end of the game and letting the announcers talk the whole time and the game go through its whole spiel. Then everything was in the vault too as it should be.

I concur. If you're happy and having fun, why mess with it?

Because I also want to play RTTS, which I've been holding off on until the patch that fixed the Sept. 14th glitch got released. I was just wondering if I should sim to the end of my franchise and play the playoff games (assuming the ChiSox maintain their lead in the central) before I DL the patch.

Has it been confirmed that only people who downloaded roster updates had the RTTS glitch? Do I not even need the patch for RTTS issues if i didn't download a roster?

At the very least, wait until you get into your second season of franchise.

If I delete all my game files install the patch, load in new rosters will I have problems ? I have a franchise but only a few games in so will start again if this will prevent problems.

Has this now been confirmed as what you need to do ?

From everything I've read, you're better off starting fresh, it's unfortunate but the best way to go.
