I think he was saying that he was about to buy a new PS3 because the game kept freezing and he thought it was his system.

Hoping that everything will run 100x smoother. FYI - Right now I am playing RTTS. I am in my second season in AAA am batting over .400 have over 130 RBI, 200+ hits, almost 100 runs scored...yet still no call up. At least in MLB 09 RTTS you were called up when you stats were good! Anyway...I am at bat when the pitcher decides to hold onto the ball and not pitch it. Causing the game to play/freeze as I call it. Which means, nothing works (pause buttons, etc.) The game continues to run and nothing happens. Awesome. How did such HUGE...HUGE glitches in this game get overlooked at the testing stage? Also, I wish I could put a mustache on my guy like Mike Schmidt has in this game...WTFSONY>

I have a sick SS for the rays on my RTTS got called up to the bigs in my first year hes hitting .400 so it is possible

Really how many years does it take to be a problem?

Yeah, I get what the CPU is doing, and it does make sense on a certain level. But using the Red Sox, if I were to run into the Rays and see Longo batting 2nd, i'd shake my head a little. It doesn't bother me to the point where I won't play it, but it is a little frustrating.

I'm just wondering if I should live with it and play franchise just controlling my team, or continue to play by controlling all teams.

# 145 sportyguyfl31 @ 03/19/10 08:51 AM

Ahhhhh...screw it.

I'm just going to control my team and let whatever transactions happen, happen..in my virtual baseball world.

I just want to play, not tap into my inner Bud Selig.

Yeah..same with Wright batting in the 2 hole.

It looked weird to me at first, but i kinda like it, after my first two games of the season.

Wright is a solid contact, gap hitter with some pop.

If Reyes gets on and I steal, I have a pretty good shot of at worst, advancing him over.

If I hit away, anything hit into the gaps is a run.

Its pretty nice.

On another note, whats a good slider setting to get the CPU pitcher to throw more balls?

The CPU, more often then not, tends to go outside the zone when ahead in the count, or when tired.

This is really the only thing I want to change from default All Star.

I rarely see 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 counts in the early innings..even from tuna can pitchers.

I can't put really put my finger on it, but 10 is just so much better and different than 09. It's just so clean. I think the hit variety stands out more than anything.

I agree about 10... the ball physics are just heads and shoulders above 09... i really feel i can hit the ball anywhere this year, its greaT!!!

I'm still getting errors on my cather on ball4's in the dirt. Is anyone else still getting this as well? I thought this was fixed.

i think the bug still there, its just that the ticker isnt showing it anymore.

# 150 wyrm187 @ 03/19/10 10:20 AM

I believe people were talking about player potential ratings being incorrect - did they address this or was it not even an issue?

That animation is staying for this year, we said that when we came back from CD.

I got tired of going in and fixing the lineups and making every decision in every organization so I put everything but trades on auto and will just fix lineups accordingly right before I play a team. That way I never see messed up lineups and I can pretend they are never messed up. Besides some managers will tinker with different lineups during the year anyway. 1-8 doesn't stay the same all year long for most teams.

Yeah, I agree that the lineups will change. However, I went in and changed all of the lineups for each team using CBS Sportsline's projected lineup's (it took about an hour). I think they're supposed to stick if you leave them on manual and the CPU will still make adjustments for tired/injured players.

Hmmm... I did not know that. I stand corrected. I just figured the 2 hole is pretty much locked up by Predroia (who I think bats 6th or 7th in the CPU lineup).

I'm a bit OCD on the lineups, but maybe I should try and lighten up. Though I have been controlling them manually and have actually enjoyed it.

I didn't see any in my first 8 games post patch but in my last game it just happened. Maybe they have partially fixed it because it was happening every 2 or 3 games pre-patch.

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't go ahead and start. I'm almost in May now, I started a couple of weeks ago and I haven't missed any of the patches or anything. I'll miss Knight's roster set but I decided I didn't want to wait for those.

No, I'm waiting for Knights roster and another patch.

It won't take long for me since I'm usually hands off when it comes to playing games in Franchise Mode. I get into the GM aspect and since I sim 99% of the games I'll hit the 5+ year mark in a week or two depending on how much time I have to play.

Theres no guarantee whatsoever there will be a 3rd patch, so i too am waiting for Knights roster but i would suggest if you are waiting for another patch you may never get started

Well then it'll be an early trade in.
