Does anyone know if the stadium code is working yet? Nevermind

the Don

someone wrote above that batters slide through base men i brought the game but wont get it for a few days yet as i live in australia and had to get sent from canada but if so that sucks and dulls the game a bit for me but im sure apart from that its awsome hope so

ben

My issue is on RTTS it keeps freezing on dates! and wont let me keep simulating or playing!!!

earlier today before i played, it asked me that there was an update was this the patch you were talking about?

mattcolby

If you mean the list I posted in the comments, no. That patch did not address those issue. They are supposidly working on those issues and haven’t committed to another patch yet, but said they will be fixed if another one is released. Sorry for the confusion. The only things fixed are the stuff Pasta mentioned i the actual article.

I enjoyed it up to the Double Switch glitch. That is a glarying issue. I mean come on, it’s a common move in the NL, and has worked fine in previous MLB The Show installments. I don’t know if anyone has dealt with this, but the game won’t allow you to double switch at all. I hope a patch comes real soon. I’m a Cubs guy, and play Franchise mode, obviously in the NL, so i’m using that Double Switch move quite a bit.

Not having it is like taking a time portal back to Sega World Series Baseball.

The broadcast commentary has finally ran it’s course. I question how much they newly record. The first game I played was A’s vs. Cubs, Spring Training, and Rex Hudler says “2/3 of the way through, and he’s got a perfect inning”, after Ben Sheets forced Aramis Ramirez to ground out, yet 2 batters earlier, Kosuke Fukudome hit a 3-run HR.

It’s just time for a new broadcast team, new lines, instead of the same recycled garbage from 2007.

With that said, it’s STILL the best the series has ever looked.

I have always played offline without patches but this year needs them badly. Are you guys saying that I do not need some sort of membership or registration to get the patch?…just plug in my ethernet cable and run the game and the patch will download?
Thanks for your help

yes

Will a patch fix the trade logic?

Pasta. Is it possible to download the updates from a computer and copy them to a disk or thumbdrive? I play offline and would love to get the updates/patches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

I have used double switches multiple times (I also play with the Cubs) and have never had an issue.

I use the bullpen quick menu to do it…not sure if that makes a difference.

Not sure if this is an update to the game, but when you “guess pitch” and location, and you are correct when the pitcher is in his wind-up, why doesnt a flashing and dinging ball appear where the pitch is going to be? The last “The Show” game I had was for the PS2 with Big Papi on the front. Has this gone away since then?
sroeland

Pretty sure that this has been gone for a while.

The PS3 version of 09 didn't have it and obviously 10 doesn't either. I like the guess pitch feature as is, and would think a ball appearing on the screen would make it too easy to hit.

Here's another fun little quark I found with a RTTS player, this time with a position player. I created myself as a LEFT HANDED first basemen with my second position being left field. Since first base is pretty lame on defense I wasn't viewing any of the defensive plays, however one game all of a sudden I was put in to catch. This again is pretty unusual since baseball logic says catchers need to be right handed, but apparently my digital guy was secretly training to become ambidextrous because all of sudden he in fact was RIGHT HANDED. I have to say, the bugs in the RTTS are getting really annoying!

First off this game is amazing…but what happened to me today totally dropped my jaw…So I was playing with the Rangers at home vs the Cubs…Zambrano was killing me, but Harden wasnt giving anything up either…it comes down to extra inning play…Im down 4-3 with Vladi up…and the former Angel comes through with a solo shot to tie the game…top of the 11th comes…score is 4-4, Fukudome comes up and rips an opposite field shot, but its about 5 feet left of the foul pole which means FOUL BALL…but the umps call it a homerun…im stunned so i dont press anything to see if they word review it and nothing…it stays a hr which puts them ahead 5-4…when i replay it…the ball is ridiculously foul…by a longshot…and wait thats not it…my SS gets on with 2 outs…I steal second…so now tieing run is in scoring position with i believe hamilton at the plate…im taking about a 3 step lead and i see the SS run towards the bag for a throw so i start heading back to second and idk what the hell happened…my guy beat the throw but he grabbed an invisible base like a foot away from second and i got picked off to end the game…between the foul ball hr and the base glitch…i dont care this game still rocks…thats my 2 cents…

Hoping that patches updates get posted here so that I can install via USB. Living in a dial-up only area sure makes for a PS3 handicap.

That's not possible. Patches for games are console only I believe

I got the game Tuesday night (the day it came out) and started a franchise that night. Am I all set with the patch then? Did the patch automatically download as soon as I turned it on….. or did it come out after that? Do I need to re-start my franchise to make sure the patch takes effect?
mattcolby

Well, most of the major franchise fixes didn't happen in the first patch anyway, so a restart might be needed down the line anyway. I think I'm going to wait until Monday when they have the updated rosters with the potential ratings changed. Supposidly some of the players potential ratings make their ratings decrease way too quickly. Haven't seen it for myself because I haven't simmed multiple seasons to tell, but there's enough people posting it on boards to think it's a legit problem.

There's also been people complaining of the computer trading away your players even if you have control over your trades and some weird waiver wire transactions taking place, like star players being placed on waivers.

So, long story short, I think it might be best to stick to RTTS right now and hope for a second patch to correct the franchise issues. I've started a franchise but I think I'm going to hold off until at least Monday to start another one with the updated ratings and rosters.. Might also do some quick season sims to see how this potential rating thing really effects things in the meantime. If it doesn't bother me, I might just continue my current franchise cause I didn't see any problems on my team. But certainly don't want star players throughout the league getting bad all the sudden.

It's kind of a tough call right now. I'm loving the game and haven't seen any of the issues yet that I'm reading about, but I certainly don't want to invest a great deal of time in a franchise and then start seeing them down the road.

And, yes, the download automatically happens when you load up the game. It's a pretty big download, so you'd notice if it happened already.

Hope this helps.
jay24

Not sure if its been touched on… But how bout some numbers and names on the players in the baserunning boxes?
Shodt

you have to be an idiot to start a franchise any sooner then at least a month into a games release, and several patches later. just the nature of next gen games
joe m

After I put in the game and update it (download the patch), do I have to manually save it also or is it automatically saved with the updates and changes? Thanks.
Cubs2010

It worked. I was getting confused by the disclaimer of “you must go to Defensive Substitutions”, or whatever it says, after you use a pinch hitter, and then go back to the following inning. If you close that window, and DO NOT exit out of the bullpen (which I was doing), go to the pitcher, select, and the window will give you the option to double switch.

That little disclaimer was tricking my mind into exiting out of the bullpen. Once you do that, you cannot go back and perform the double switch.

Thx for the help, and go Cubbies
Cubs2010

It's automatically saved, and becomes an updated version of the game.

Now with updated rosters, those have to be done manually.
nike21

just updated the roster, nothing but 19 player movement….Also i looked at the potentials still the same..Robinson Cano still D potential, Teixiera Power potential still at D…… i thought it was gonna be patch today…
ray

i know you'd been asked this so many times, but im fairly new to the Show…… i like the fact that you could update your roster weekly, but can i update a roster without having to start a new season? can it it be uploaded on the season i already started?…if not then what's the point of having a roster update weekly if you can't do that? maybe the franchise mode, but season mode?….just asking…….also i just updated my roster, i thought the potentials will be fix too, but Robinson Cano potential still a D and Teixiera still D power potential….
Matt Bug

The colors that differentiate pitch-types are blacked-out in the Pitch History (R2). The Hot/Cold Strike Zone colors are also blacked-out in the Pitcher/Batter Status Window (Select).

why do I have multiple rosters and settings in mlb 10 shouldn't they overwrite each other if they are give the same name

mine is doing the same thing… froze like 2 months in on one date and wont let me continue!

Worst online experience of any game I have ever played.

If I somehow get through the 1st inning quit BS, the game ends up freezing in the 6th or 7th because God forbid someone press PAUSE or does an intentional walk.

This game has frozen my PS3 6 times already today.

The API is bugged. All the catcher asks is pitches in the middle of the plate. I mean , Right down broadway. Now either i oblige and get a 20.25 era , or i ignore it and lose a key gameplay component of the game.
Rlrapid2

i cant play the franchise mode, the cpu does some outrageous trades. is there a fix for this besides turning the trades to manual.
mapes

there should be a window of your third base coach to see if he wants you to stop or go.
Whitesoxfreak44

how do you download a patch?
