MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

If you select all 30 teams at the team control screen...set everything to AUTO(CPU)...you will be playing as if it was a one team franchise BUT...if you see anything you don't like.....you can then go into the profile assigned to whatever team you see something weird...take control....change it...then give control back.
I would suggest this as in the off season....you might want to "nudge" teams into signing FA's and such.
The only time you will be given the opportunity to "control"(basically like an overlord option...you are not really controlling anything UNLESS you choose to...and you can go back and forth) all 30 teams is when you BEGIN a franchise.
Seriously....I don't see a downside to "controlling" all 30 teams. You can have the league play out any way you like....including giving every task to the CPU.

Also as an addition to this I think it makes it easier to see when trades occur and such. there is a prompt now that comes up on screen saying player x was traded for player x. So instead of looking through all transactions or seeing the big trades in email feature you get the heads up right away.

i don't understand the my injuries email though. I never have anything in there. So unless it's not working or a feature they didn't have time to implement...I'm not sure. Has anyone gotten an email for My injuries yet?

Also to play this game is simply amazing....gameplay wise what an improvement. I cannot wait to these franchise bugs get worked out because this will be the gold standard!!!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Two other people have posted with the same problem since I made my post. I don't think there will be a ton of Orioles franchise guys out there, but if 3 of us are all having the same freezing issue, maybe there is some kind of glitch.

Just for the heck of it I'm going to exchange my game for a new copy, we'll see if it happens again.

Please let me know what you figure out.
Thanks

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Another thing thing that I love that they started to incorporated is the trades of stars for prospects. We now see stars get traded for 2-3 A level prospects. I think this is a huge PLUS!!! Along with mid season signings.

With some tweaks to the logic so teams in races do not ship off their stars and teams that make a signing utilize them on the MLB roster I think it will be perfect.

One thing that was posted in a review was how Jeter was traded. Now I would not have a problem with that if it was Aug., he slipped through trdae waivers and the Yankees were 10 games out....Good baseball decision.....as fans we have loyalty, but as far as a baseball decision good move.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Two things I have noticed and not sure if they are being addressed. I saw something saying a patch for the pitcher/batter windows, but nothing specific.

I have noticed in the pitcher/batter window that if there is a runner on base, it does not show the speed of the runner like it did last year. Instead it requires to push start to see the runner speed, requiring an extra step.

Another thing noticed with the pitcher/batter window is after closing it, the game does not display the pitch types to guess the pitch type. It does come up from the batter's perspective in the bottom right/left corner but sometimes does not come up on the first time pressing R2. Instead, I have had to press R2 2x really quick to bring up the pitch types, sometimes resulting in not allowing me to guess the pitch type in time before the windup.

Hopefully this will be read and addressed please. Thnx.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Franchise mode is broken in regards to playing as the Orioles. I have played the first game of the season five times without getting past the 7th before freezing. I have simmed ahead and played a game, only to have it freeze in the 7th.

I tried a franchise with the Nats and played the first game. No issues. I played three exhibition games. No problem.

And I've exchanged my game for a new one. Same issues.

I'm in a very small minority here, but not being able to play as the Orioles in franchise mode completely ruins the game for me. I'm sad.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Not going to lie, that bums me out a lot. I was going to go home after work and sim opening day, and start with the second game. There went that option. The O's are the only team I want to do a franchise with, so, guess I have to wait. Hopefully Sony will have a fix for this sooner, rather than later.

I think it will get fixed. It just sucks to have to wait again after all the anticipation...

I'm also willing to just go ahead and play season mode as long as I can, you know, actually play.

If you haven't already, make sure you post it in the bugs and glitches thread. It's wierd that this only happens with the O's.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

I'm not all that knowledgeable about The Show's workings, and I'm seeing that part of the issue might be when your profile and global settings are not the same. Can someone condescend to explain what this means? I'm a little dense.

And when it comes to MK's suggestion about assigning a profile to every team, how is this done?

Thanks in advance for the help!

If you make 2 profiles....
One Trojan Man...the other CPU....
If you want to assign it to all the other teams except yours.....when you select all 30 teams...yours will come up for your team....CPU will come up for the team associated with it....the others will say NO PROFILE.
Go through each team and use the R stick to change through the profile assignments and choose CPU.
You can change it at any time in the PROFILE section(change the assignments through the season if you like)...you can also edit the profiles through that page(VIEW...then you can change them)

Thank you so much, Knight. Yeoman's work being you!

Someone else try this please. I just simluated a whole season and i didn't see any stupid trades or people claiming guys off of waiver or anything of the sort. When I selected my team I put my psn as or profile name under the team control screen( i'm playing with the brewers) and I didn't have any problems. Also I am playing with the DEFAULT rosters. It seem like evertime I load the rosters for the season, all that other mess start to happen. I want someone else to see if this works. ok

1: Select team and put in your profile name as the user controlled team( i.e whatever team you pick activate your profile for them)

2. Make sure you are using the DEFAULT ROSTERS!!!!

3. TRY IT AND PM ME + POST WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU DO SO!!


PLEASE SIMULATE FIRST SEASON AND CHECK FOR THE WAIVER WIRES AND TRADES TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS GOING ON.

THANKS!!!
