P.S. There are a few more fixes not listed above I'll add them asap. Also thank you (OS and everyone at Theshowcommunity.com) for your help in identifying some of issues.

-------------------------------------

*UPDATE: 3:50 PM EST
A new bug was introduced during the patch 3 process. The previous reported bug on this issue did not happen 100% of the time. There needed to be a perfect storm to recreate it, sadly we were never able re-create it in house or it would have been fixed.

Something happened in patch 3 that made the bug occur 100% of the time if the runner crossed home plate before the out was recorded.

We are looking at a 24 hour turnaround for 3rd out issue. Can't confirm the time frame though.

I think the people who complain about the franchise glitch are upset with the fact that after 5 years the top players are ranked with very low ratings.

I heard there is a new glitch with all these closed down threads and I have a question, the ps3 I play is not with me at the moment my brother has it so I'm trying to get him to download the patch. My question is if he waits long enough does he have to download one or two patches? I'm not familiar with ps3 patches I been a Warcraft player for lots of years so I'm still getting to know how all of this works. Thanks in advance.

It surely won't be much longer.

Classic "self loathing" case. Proving points, waving fists in air, and challenging authority on an anonymous internet forum as a feeble attempt to feel better about self.

Already wasted too much of our time.

Let's turn our attention back to the game we love.

Do not let your brother download the patch. There is an issue with this patch that affects gameplay on a fundamental level. You can find the issue on page 3 of this thread. Russell will get an update out with a fix asap, but for now, stick with Patch 2.

Again - Do not download this patch.
I've downloaded the patch just to spite you.

They don't count as RBI's from what some people have said in this thread.

Needless to say you guys can continue on with the patch. SunTzu will be taking a break from the forums.

Good bye Son (sun)! Patch issues can now be looked at without condescending remarks.
 
# 147 mlg33 @ 05/18/10 03:36 PM
So great !!!!
Thanks a lot guys !

For patch number 4 : Could you also correct the fact that every player hold their helmet on a homerun base tour (Real Time Presentation)
And, after a foulball, why not let the referee give the ball and let both pitcher and batter positionned , don't skip that part !

Thank you.
 
# 148 shaunjuan2000 @ 05/18/10 03:44 PM
The original post by Russell stated all the fixes of patch 3, but they seemed to combine them with all the other fixes that the other patches were for. Maybe someone could post what specifically was fixed with #3, and only #3.
Also does patch 3 fix the issue where the game freezes because a team that is not user controlled has an invalid lineup? Any answers would be appreciated. Keep up the good work SCEA!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about the new patch as well, but if this keeps happening it's a game-killer (at least for me).
Tom, I hope you don't mind me asking. Since you have played several games, what is the best difficulty and slider positioning you use to make the game as competitive as can be. I'd appreciate your input. I'm trying to bring about the best competitive balance in an offline franchise mode.

I think this is a good idea.

Thanks for the update Ramone.

Okay, I am glad I wasn't losing my mind and not being psychic again...

Here are some posts about this pre-patch. So it is not a side effect of the patch, just coincidence it was spotted "again" around the same time by several people. Which is normal since more of an influx are testing the new patch as it hit.

*phew*

When I heard it mentioned before, it only happened if the player bobbled the ball. Now it seems like it happens any time the run crosses the plate before the out is recorded.
 
# 157 Stl72 @ 05/18/10 04:08 PM
thank you SCEA for fixing whatever did not work before. I would like to see a injury in a game I play (off line). A line by a announer saying that a player was acquired in a trade, waiver wire or came back from the Disabled list while playing a game. So again thank You!!!!

Cool deal, kinda figured it was something to that effect, since pre-patch it was a bobble that caused it.

Almost a blessing in disguise eh?

I'm so glad to see SCEA is all over this. Thanks again!
