Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

I've been saying this for a few years now but the first two months we are used as testers to figure out what the bugs and glitch's are and after the 3rd patch comes out sometime in mid to late May the game will be complete for this year, basically what I'm saying is that all sports games now come out with out being tested to much so your basically paying for an incomplete product and i don't think it's right or fair to the people that play these games.

It's just impossible to produce software without bugs. If consumers are fine with an sports game without an annual release cycle, they probably can do a better job testing before the release. Just release when it's really ready. But for a product whose selling point is being "this year's" game, that's not gonna happen. That's my guess.

True but other games like God of War and such don't have the problems sports games do these days. Don't get me wrong i'm glad they care enough to put out patches to make the games better, i just don't think we should be paying a full $60 for an incomplete game $40 would be more like it.

To be fair, I think you are comparing apples to oranges though. The God of War games have a 3+ year dev cycle...PLUS those kind of games basically follow a script where X follows Y, and has to be preceded by Z. There's nothing like that in a sports game.

Do a google search for "God of War Bugs"...they exist.

There is just no way, in a 12 month dev cycle (less actually) that they can test all combinations and permutations of what can happen in a game, especially one with all the nuances of baseball.

Analog pitching after patch 2

Hey what do u guys think of the analog pitching since the patch?
I'm playing legend and I'm finding that my strikeouts are way down from before the patch. I was averaging around 7 strikeouts a game some games I may be around 10 which was great once in a while. Now im lucky to get 5 or 6 .
Why was pitching changed to be made harder? Honestly it was perfect as it was... Especially on the harder levels..
What r u guys finding? Perhaps thy can change it back to how it was

Re: Post Patch #2 questions?

They initially took out being able to copy your franchise/season/rtts to a flash/thumbdrive but they rescinded that in the latest patch.

Do you mean with having the "must use 1.15 or later thing" underneath my franchise save i can't save it to a flashdrive? But if I start a new one i'll be able to save the new one now? Thanks!

Well if you strike out 7 to 10 batters a game even on legend I think they had all the right reasons to make pitching a little harder.

[DieHardYankee26]

I think the flash drive has to be formatted a certain way with certain folders or something? no idea I'm half asleep but I could have sworn I read something about that in the manual when I got it (which was only a few months ago).

It has to be FAT32, but when you're copying from PS3 to flash drive it should create the folders on its own.

Re: Analog pitching after patch 2

I'm pitching on Legend as well (with user control and consistency at 0 with buffed up CPU hitting sliders) and I didn't even notice a difference in analog pitching.

Analog pitching was made harder because it's far too easy to pinpoint pitches, and it still is too easy. Read through the feedback threads, it was a common complaint that analog pitching was too easy. Also, every pitcher feels the same since the pitcher's control rating barely has an impact since how well you throw the pitch is almost completely tied to how well you execute with the right stick. Therefore, locating fastballs has the same difficulty with Roy Halladay as Carlos Marmol, which makes no sense. I love analog pitching but there is still lots of room for improvement.

Trust me when I say, you can only test so much in house, with small sample size of people.

The games are much, much bigger than they have EVER BEEN. Do more things, etc.

Once a game hits, your sample size goes from 20+ (estimated) to 100,00+ people. There is going to be way more variables and scenarios to run into.

Just be thankful we have patches now a days, back in the day you just dealt with game breaking bugs, and no way to fix them.

I also think SCEA-SD is some of the best in the biz at delivering not only feedback, but great fixes in their patches. And this game truly is one of the least buggy out of all the sports franchises, and does much more in it, than same said franchises.

Re: Still can't copy franchise after patch, why?

Thanks guys!

I didn't re-save ( I was trying to copy my file that I was using before patch) my game after the patch, but as soon I saved my franchise post patch I was able to copy my file to a flash drive.

Thanks again.

Next year, wait to buy it until the last pitch is sent out. I was actually going to do this this year, but I got a great deal and couldn't pass it up.

MVP 04 Lefty glitch. That was the worst one ever.

True. But games like God of War do not have the variables that a sports game has. While not necessarily linear, there are no where near the options or choices that even a low tier sports game would have.

Fight, fight, fight move left fight some more move right......Boss battle. Just look at the choices that can be made in one half inning of a baseball game or a four down series in football. It is no wonder that bugs and problems pop up. Everybody plays their way and every second can be different than someone else.

I don't blame developers for missing some things and honestly I don't see half the bugs and glitches that a lot of you all do. I don't know if it is me just being clueless or just relaxing and having fun with it. I am done with year one of my RTTS and in June of my Franchise. I haven't had any save problems and everything for me is running smooth, I have no complaints.

These guys care more about our opinions and our game than a whole lot of other companies do. My belief is that if they can fix something they will. If not then I personally love this game and think it is just about as perfect as it gets.

Just my two cents.

[ARoid1313]

Do u have any tips for hitting the target? I can never really locate the ball when move the right stick up,, wonder if it's my controller ?

Didn't they do this last year though? I seem to remember getting the first, second patch for 2010, it worked fine. Then the third patch dropped and word got around that it shouldn't be downloaded. In fact I found information on it...(http://www.pastapadre.com/2010/05/18...atch-3-details)

I'm such a believer in the Show that I went out and bought a PS3 for the 2010 version. This truly is an amazing baseball series but I don't appreciate the silence. I'm patiently waiting for the 3rd patch for the 2nd patch, I have no problem playing offline until they fix the problems but you say they are the best at feedback. Why haven't we heard anything? I've looked all over. This is a MAJOR franchise issue. On top of it, I seem to recall people saying the new patch wouldn't affect franchises that started before the patch released. This misinformation from the community could have been avoided with a little communication from someone at SCEA-SD. Instead many of us could be stuck with broken franchises.

Interesting change in logic following the patch

The starters stay in the game longer. I just played a series with the Dodgers to open 2012 and in two of the games their starter threw 130 pitches, both times with the Dodgers leading big.
