Yeah you should be free from those completely if you start over. But some should be able to continue their old franchises if they can get past the schedule change. That's why you discrepancies in why its not effecting everyone.

Are you saying that once you get past the specific day that the game was added to the schedule that you will be able to continue your franchise without any problems? Im confused by this statement since Im playing as the Dodgers, you added a game to their schedule but that was right at the start of the season and Im at the end of May and it was still crashing anyways. Did you add more then just that one game to the Dodgers schedule? If not then I obviously am not understanding what you posted.

The original schedule that came with the game had a 3 game series in April for the Dodgers and the Padres and when the patch came out, they made it a 4 game series (which is the same as real life).

If you were already past this game in your franchise or RTTS, it screwed up the schedule causing crashing when you look at the schedule screen.

As far as I can tell, sometimes it will freeze at your schedule, sometimes if you're looking at another teams schedule, sometimes in april, sometimes in may (you get the point). Everyone has had different experiences with this it seems.

Anyway, if you have a franchise that is past the date when they added the game, there is a chance that you will encounter the freeze and I would suggest you either delete the patch, or restart your franchise.

So the first 4 day series with the Padres or the second one? The Dodgers play the Padres Apr 6-9 and then April 30 - May 3rd. Which one is the one that causes issues?

Assuming I haven't played past that point yet, should my franchise be OK post patch?

I continue to not understand this either. This would be easily taken care of if they would just clearly explain it step by step.

I got tired of not drawing enough walks so I lowered pitch speed all the way down. I have no pride anymore when it comes to this game. It has kicked my behind left and right on All Star, and I finally feel like I am getting the hang of it. Plus I found sliders that are working for me and tame the CPU just a little more than Psycho has it (basically using Psychos sliders with some tweaks). It's working great for me.

I'm in the same boat Dr. Can you post or PM me the sliders you are using? thanks

It's the first 4 day series with the Padres, April 6-9 that they added the game. The crash has been happening for most people in late April, early May, but I've seen some crash in June as well. What I would recommend is simming the season without saving, and see if you can make it through without a crash. I'd also recommend making more than one save file, because sometimes you are able to sim past the crash date if you go to another teams schedule. I was only a week into my franchise, so I just started over instead of having to worry about it.

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

I'm using Knight's v1 roster for a franchise that I started pre-patch and I just started experiencing an issue. I'm now at May 6th and it seems as if some lineups are all out of whack now. I started noticing the problem this morning when I played the game on May 4th against the Mets. The biggest problem with their line up was that Delgado was batting 2nd. The next game he was batting 2nd as well. I didn't really think too much of it until I went to play my May 6th game against the Marlins. Their line up featured Uggla leading off. I'm guessing their normal lead off guy should've been Bonifacio, but he was fully rested and ridding the pine.

There may be nothing to this.. it's just strange that all of a sudden I start seeing lineups that make no sense. I'm not really all that picky with the other teams lineups, but it does take me out of the game a little when I see a power guy at the top of the order. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

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

I simmed all the way to Oct 1 and had no problems. I started up the game on Oct 1 to see if it would freeze, I had no issues. I guess what I will try to do is save twice after every game on two separate files, then if need be, sim past the date which is causing the freeze.

Kind of lame, but I don't want to start over. I'm really hoping not to lose my music either.

Time will tell.

Are people having this crash problem with Franchises already started before the patch, or after patch franchises? I started a franchise after the patch, and simmed like 3 years to justmess with things, and everything seemed fine.

Knight posted that his v1 - v3 rosters WILL have issues if you have installed the patch. His v4 - v6 rosters work only with the patch. So you might need to start over if you keep having issues.

Pre-patch.

Noooooooooooo! Damn it! I'm already almost a quarter of the way through the season.

I did take the patch off, but that same franchise is still having the same problems. This blows.

Any ideas when the mini patch will drop?

Cause the reply bug is a pain in the ***.
