MLB 12 The Show Game Update 1.16 Arrives, Details Included - Post Your Impressions

[Bobhead]

Re: 1.16 update?

I will say this: As it stood before this patch, there were 4 groups of people.

Those who downloaded 1.06 and had no problems with a pre-patch franchise/rtts

Those who downloaded and started a new franchise/RTTS

Those who downloaded 1.06 and had freezing problems but continued with their old file and just ignored the problems

Those who deleted the patch and continued their old files

These are 4 completely different situations. Imagine trying to make 1 patch that safely and efficiently complemented all 4 of these groups.

I realize SCEA kinda got themselves into this mess in the first place, but I think we should at least cut them some slack if the patch doesn't work for everyone, in every scenario, since it's practically impossible for it to do so.

Re: 1.16 update?

I dl'd patch 1.06, had freezes with a current franchise, started new franchises on both PS3 and Vita with those newly created franchises freeze as well. Haven't dl'd this new one and am not going to. It's been over two weeks since this fiasco and have heard nothing from SCEA for about the last week of it. Then they release a new patch that causes more damage. You give them all the slack you want but my patience is wearing thin

EDIT: *rant on* besides the problems the firsst patch was supposed to fix......some of those problems are still present. you can still throw people out ay first base from right field as the RF plays too shallow. Even Knight confirmed this*rant off*

While I do agree that it is no easy task when it comes to compatibility / future patching, given the tiny amount of changes this patch brought it shouldn't have been as big of a headache as it is.

Had 2 online game fixes and an alignment fix for box scores / schedules.

Now don't think I'm saying it isn't an extremely hard thing for even these minor changes. I went to college and for a few years it was nothing but programming classes for my major. I know how even the most mundane tasks can be lines upon lines upon lines of code that when not done exactly right can go haywire.

But then there is the arguement that given the issues with the last patch, the first thing SCEA should have done when creating this patch is to check the compatibility with the different situations that people would be in.

I mean the problems people are having are in RTTS and Franchise. That is the 2 most played game modes we have. That is I'd say 90% of the people who buy this game aim to play. The fact that they bring out 2 patches that screw them up (for some) is just unacceptable.

These are the kinds of issues that should happen during release week if at any time, not months after release when we are all chugging along in our franchises / RTTS.

That is the group I am in. I DL 1.06 and started a brand new franchise. DL 1.16 and have no issues at all.

I'd be apart of one of those 2. I don't remember my exact start date (I had started up my Braves franchise when OSFM Spring Training rosters were released) but I restarted cause of a settings screwup (no CPU Trades were happening cause of CPU Roster control). Was sometime shortly after the OSFM Opening Day rosters came out.

I am currently unable to play my franchise cause of the record / freeze glitch.

[Brandwin]

If I have to start over, fine, not going to like it but nothing I can do.

I do want a refund for training points though. I lost out on money (and time) because of these issues.

Edit: We I guess not all is lost. I deleted patch and my game works now.

What major issues did 1.06 fix so I know what I'm missing?

Re: 1.16 update?

I use OFSM rosters. Play with the Mets. Had a franchise before the first patch. Downloaded the first patch. Never had any freezing issues. Downloaded the new patch. Haven't had any freezing issues.

Nope sorry. I gave them their slack when there were problems with the first patch. It wasn't a huge deal because they were talking to us and letting us know what was wrong and "working on a solution". Back to back patches in less than 3 weeks that both cause huge problems with the game...No friggin' way are they getting any compassion whatsoever. If it were my company, people would be getting fired tonight.

I'm an east coaster though so I don't have very much patience for anything, let alone this sort of intoreable nonsense.

Re: 1.16 update?

My RTTS is horked as well.

I am almost positive I started it before 1.06, no issues with 1.06, On Aug 13, 2013 freeze on sim to next appearance.

Deleting the patch data seemed to have worked for me, I should probably backup my RTTS save =]

No way! I have been a HUGE supporter of SCEA and MLBTS for many years now, but this year borders on offensive.
Problem after problem after problem.

I understand that creating a perfect game is almost impossible, but this year's game is on the complete opposite side of the perfection spectrum.

While I will still continue to buy this game every year and will continue to support it every year, it would be nice if just once we could get a game with very minimal issues.

It seems that the first patch, the one out of the box created a second set of issues. Then 1.06 created more issues, and now 1.16 has created even more issues and the only one issue that I see that has been fully resolved is the weekday 7:00PM game times.

I could have lived with that glitch.

I agree with just about everything you said here. I bought this game for the first time in about 4 years and I was told about the exceedingly high reputation that SCEA had. This made me happy because it would give me a break from all of EA's garbage, but I was wrong, up until now the only time I've seen a dev from SCEA post here is from the 1.06 patch.

This is just bringing back so many dreadful memories of the NCAA 12 patches.

Actually, no....my statement about RF'ers was not about throwing guys out at 1B(the CPU never does ....NEVER)
It was that on line drive hits to RF.....in some cases, they play too shallow and will keep the runner on 2nd from scoring.


Oh...and patched.....franchise from 1.06
No problems.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here.
Are you saying that they purposely are throwing glitches in?
Are you saying they aren't trying to fix things?
Don't give a crap?

I'm sorry, but I just don't get how trying to patch a game in which may indeed be causing problems diminishes SCEA's high reputation.
You're losing me on that one.

You guys do realize that we are throwing THOUSANDS of different variations of saves at this patch...and for SCEA to test that is IMPOSSIBLE.

I do and I know things happen. If I can't have the patches and it's not a way to fix it, I do want to be refunded my training points and not 2 months down the road.

I paid for training points to play RTTS, right now with the patch, that's not possible with my save.

Refund my money, I'll download the patch and start from scratch.
