First Patch for MLB 10: The Show Released

by pastapadre
Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 11:54 am

While continuing to respond to some of the early issues being experienced on the first day of release, SCEA has already pushed the first patch for MLB 10: The Show out. This patch was created and cleared through before release of the game, meaning it does not address the issues that gamers have since reported. Continue on for the full list of fixes in the patch and leave your thoughts in the comments!

  • Minnesota day and night, backstop changed to limestone
  • Fixed bug causing trades not to be accepted in Spring Training
  • Fixed hard drive game data space and messages
  • Road to the Show presentation mode settings are now saved after rebooting the game
  • Fixed RTTS issue when on the game stats screen after skipping training and then playing a game
  • Fixed issue in franchise mode and controlling of 30 teams and releasing a lot of players
  • Fixed issue when selecting “Movie Maker” with 10 replays for a movie when 11 are present
  • Fixed ball deflection sounds off players
  • Fixed issue with pitcher batter status window
  • Fixed issue with injuries during online games
  • Fixed fielding issue with catcher overthrowing first base on a dropped third strike
  • Fixed fielding issue with the ball in the dirt right at the feet of the user catcher
  • Fixed an issue when playing a tiebreaker game
  • Online addition of game history option in user list options. Can be found in leaderboards, league lobby buddy list, and schedule screens

    This was also posted by the developers on the Operation Sports website. Nice to see a company that actually works to make their game better:

    Here is our list of the current known issues that we're looking into for immediate attention:

    Attendance:
    Attendance is not correctly getting reported. In talking with Jeff, he has a fix in mind that is fairly safe but would end up in the actual attendance not mirroring the paid attendance you get in franchise. It would fix the issue where you have 50k+ people attending Spring Training games. This will also fix issues with playoff games and games played in any stadium that isn't your own.
    * UPDATE – This was caused by the stadium select screen being added to franchise, causing the attendance to be reset using the non-franchise logic. The stadium select was previously never used for playoff games, so it didn't handle that situation. This is fixed and it also fixes the issue with spring training games showing the attendance as if they were in their home stadium.

    Trade Waivers:
    Users can claim anyone off of trade waivers – CPU teams will never pull them back.
    * UPDATE – fixed this one – a simple fix that will prevent user teams from simply claiming everyone that was passed through trade waivers.

    No Contract:
    Players can get into a state where they have no contract.
    * UPDATE – As soon as a player was placed on release waivers, his contract was cleared. Then if he was claimed, he didn't have a contract. It was also clearing his 40-man roster status, which is what was causing him to go to AAA instead of the MLB team. Have a fix for this.

    Player Potential:
    Looks like a fairly bad miscommunication ended up with us having some seriously out of whack potentials. This will be corrected with the next roster download (Monday)
    * UPDATE – Lorne is taking care of this – will be fixed with a roster update.

    Multi Closer issue:
    If a CPU team has 2 closers (one acquired in a trade) – they will always send one down to AAA.
    * UPDATE – It would just look at the closers and see that they had more than they needed so they'd send one down, but they wouldn't look to see if they could send down a reliever instead and keep the 2nd closer in the bullpen. Have a fix for this.

    Multi Trade players:
    Not even sure what the details are on this one, but it looks like sometimes a player is traded and then re-traded or waived. Currently investigating.
    * UPDATE – I have a fix for the trades. I'll not allow a player to be placed on the trading block by the CPU if he has been acquired by a trade recently.

    Manual Trade issue:
    I've seen a few reports of users having trades set to Manual and still having trades done by the CPU. Again, no idea how this is happening and we're looking for more information.
    * UPDATE – Not sure what's happening here, we can not get this one to reproduce. Whoever is getting this, please make sure that you don't have your profile option set to something different than your global setting. If you need to talk to me via PM or IM for further info, please just say the word!
    * UPDATE 2 Thanks to tabarnes19 and a couple hours of debugging we have found the issue and have a fix in the works.

    If you respond, please please PLEASE do not be noise. We need clear help or silence – we want these things cleared up as much as you do!

  • sroeland

    Just to be clear though…these issues have NOT been corrected yet. Only the items listed in the actual story have been patched.

  • r00tabaga

    I cannot keep my eyes open at work today…I am completely useless due to staying up ALL NIGHT playing the Show! It isn't apparent at 1st but after a few games, this game is leaps and bounds better than last year's gem!!! From better foul-off logic to better TV presentation to new additions like deceptive pick-offs and 8-pitch warmups for relievers, this game i s s i c k ! ! !

  • http://twitter.com/Shaunheiser Shaun Heiser

    I think the game turned out awesome, and the fact that they're so on top of all these issues that have been listed is really refreshing, it's nice to see a developer actually give a damn.

  • r00tabaga

    One more thing…SanDiego Studios should do ALL sports videogames from now on…..nothing against EA but there is so much polish to their baseball series!

  • sir "dude"nstein

    That was no reaction. They knew the game had bugs and still released it. As long as they do this though i'm fine with it

  • mattcolby

    True, didn't mean to confuse things, just happened upon the post right about the time Pasta posted the current patch info.

    Good news all around, though!

  • pjz1

    Did they or are they going to fix issue with Double Switch? I just bought the game havent played it whole lot. I have not came across this issue but Im sure I will sooner or later. Note: I play Manage Only Mode!!! I realize they are vacationing right now but does anyone know when they will put out another patch?

  • dgould112

    There is a huge music bug as well. First, when you add songs from your PS3 to the game, it allows 499 total. That's great. Much more than last year. But…once the game is turned off and restarted, only half of those songs are on the list. Also, when designating a walk-up song for a batter…it doesn't play the right song. That's just the music part….

  • http://pastapadre.com/ pastapadre

    That doesn't necessarily translate to other games though. Their NBA franchise was terrible and completely irrelevant.

  • t. daley

    You know I really love the 8 pitch warm up. It is nice to be able to see what your relief pitcher can do and how he is locating his pitches. I imagine the warmups also affect is readiness factor so if you bring in a pitcher ice cold he can at least get a bit warm.

    Similarly I love the fact that They now indicate the next 3 batters while you are in the bull pen screen so you can better prepare for the next 3 batters. Its the little things like this that make all the difference to us real players. Sadly I am afraid most of these numnuts wont even notice these little attention to detail items.

  • Dannyray64

    Hey how do you download the patch, I just got my new PS3 and MLB 10 The Show. Thank you!

  • Eddy

    Question, do you have to restart your (Offline)season every time you get a roster update?

  • t. daley

    You know pasta, that is the puzzling thing. There really is no excuse for Sonys Basketball game being as lack luster as it was. I honestly think they didn't put in the effort due largely in part to the marketing fact that it is hard to break people of there mindset and spending habits.

    For Example take NBA 2k. This franchise has not gotten better over the years and in fact with broken game play, you can argue it has gotten worse, whereas the Live series has made drastic improvements and yet the majority of players still go to 2k.

    I honestly think sony didnt want to be bothered trying to break thru the hard headed fanboy mentality in order to get people to play a good game. Its just like NFL2k and Madden. It didn't matter how good NFL2k5 was. People still flocked to Madden b/c that is what sheep do. People don't like change. That is why Madden is still King and why people still flock to recycled broken gameplay NBA 2k games. People don't want quality, they want name recognition and unfortunately that is very sad.

  • Eddy

    Dannyray64, When you turn on your PS3, put the game in and connect to the internet, the patch will automatically download.

  • newtonfb

    Ya but pasta dont you remember the days when there were 3+ options for each sport?? Each company makes each sport differently and adds competition to strive for better. I just wish we had EA, Sony, Microsoft, and whoever else each creating a football, basketball and baseball games instead of just have 1 and maybe 2 companies making games.

  • mattcolby

    And then there's this statement:

    “This is a patch that we worked on before the game shipped you can find all the fixes listed above. If you find a bug please report it in the bug/glitches thread and IF there is a another patch we will try and fix those major issues in patch number 2 when the team comes back from break.”

    I don't like the “IF” part of the quote in regards to patch #2. And on the post it is bolded and capitalized.

    I personally am loving the game for the few hours I've gotten to play it so far. I'm in the second month of a RTTS and played a few games into an Astros franchise. Haven't noticed any of the major bugs that people have been talking about and didn't even notice any “potential” ratings issues on my team. At least nothing that stood out and makes me think it's a bug.

    But if things still need to be corrected I certainly hope they decide to go with a 2nd patch

    The only possible bug that concerns me the most is the computer trading away your players. I'm thinking maybe it's happening when selecting “auto-utilize” or something of that nature, because I know the computer does some weird roster stuff in the past when you let it “auto” correct anything, no matter what setting you have it on.

    The “potential” thing doesn't bother me much, although if people are finding it to be an issue further into a franchise that could be an issue down the road, so if it needs to be corrected hopefully they will.

  • Dannyray64

    Ok, so I don't have to do anything? Just play the game and it will download then? Thank you very much!

  • t. daley

    I honestly think that sony should seriously think about bringing back a sports department. With the power of the PS3 and Bluray disc space Sony could have a real winner here. I for one am of the mindset that EA/2k are holding back on the sports games b/c they have to cater to multi platforms. EA/2k cant take advantage of bluray b/c that would entail making a lesser game for the 360 and that wont do.

    If Sony were making the PS3 exclusive sports titles, like the show, we wouldn't have to worry about all that mess. This is why the show is so vastly superior to 2k. Its about time that developers realize the potential of the PS3 and the Bluray disc and stop catering to the 360. All you have to do is look at games like Uncharted2, MGS4, Heavy Rain, GT5 and you will see can be done with disc space of bluray. None of these games could be done for Xbox yet our sports games are still inferior to what technology will allow.

  • uzzi

    i wouldnt think so… because your offline season has nothing to do with roster updates… Its going to go with what you have saved since the last time you played

  • http://pastapadre.com/ pastapadre

    Definitely. Its a different economic landscape though. Games cost more to produce. Only a couple sports can support more than one title, and some can't even support one (like college basketball).

  • http://pastapadre.com/ pastapadre

    It takes years though to build up a following. The cost of R&D is huge and there isn't the potential to have a “break out” hit. Even The Show didn't explode onto the scene, it took years of building and improving and with MLB 09 is when the sales finally shot up.

  • sroeland

    Only if you want the most current roster implemented in your Franchise.

    If you start a Franchise today, using the March 2nd update, and then want to use the March 8th roster update in a Franchise mode, you will have to start a new Franchise. This is how it has always been in all sports games.

  • sroeland

    To me, that “IF” seems like a “we need to cover our butts” statement. They have to say “IF” just in case it doesn't happen. But I'm pretty sure they will have at least one more patch before all is said and done.

  • Sportsgamer

    NBA2K10 had a 60 percent sales jump from last year. Thats insane. that means people wanted to try something different. that was their CHANGE. So your whole logic is people dont like change in video games are incorrect, what people want is a fun game. if you want to beleive it or not. NBA2K10 despite the online bugs and a few other quirky things is fun to play.

  • Sportsgamer

    Something else i forgot, People who play football want change, why you ask? because Madden has been losing sales despite having 0 competition same with NCAA. People want change, people want that authentic football game. We arent getting it.

  • Dustin

    Anyone know how many MB's the patch is? Cuz I have dial-up at home and I'm trying to figure out how long this download is gonna take me.

  • t. daley

    For all you wannabe ORKIN men out there. Relax. Its day 1 people. Every game know to mankind has glitches on day 1. Just be happy that Sony is on point and addressing it and correcting it in a timely manner, unlike 2k which takes weeks to fix things if at all and doesnt even communicate what is going on.

    Every game is bound to have bugs. QA staff isn't as large as the thousands of players that play the game on day one. Obviously most of you whiners have never played a PC game before. The community is vital to the gaming process. This is a normal situation. That is why feedback after launch day is critical to the process. Console games are in a new age where software updates and patches are the norm. You should be happy that games can be fixed and you don't have to settle for whatever bugs are present on launch day.

    BottomLine: If your not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. Get involved, give solid feedback and the devs will take care of the rest. Whining does absolutely nothing but piss people off.

  • sroeland

    I thought I read that it's about 300 MB…I don't know for sure, since I am not at my PS3 now and haven't DL'ed the patch.

  • Amen Ra

    I saw your response to me on the other board. I made a dick comment and you responded in kind. It's all good though, we going to let bygones be bygones and keep it moving.

    good posting.

  • Amen Ra

    Seriously man how much does the Sony pay you? Every comment you make is defending Sony or dissing 2k. I really hope you getting money for all this….

  • http://twitter.com/Shaunheiser Shaun Heiser

    343 MB exactly. I just turned my PS3 on and it's downloading as we speak.

  • t. daley

    When referring to change, sportsgamer, I am talking about Macro not micro. 2k's sales going up is indicative of nothing. You have no data as to who is buying the product. Change would be Live players moving over to 2k and vice versa. Live Sales have gone up too. Bottom line is this. The Majority of 2k players continue to buy 2k and the same goes for Live. So I stand by my observation.

  • http://twitter.com/Shaunheiser Shaun Heiser

    The game forces you to download the patch, you don't have a choice in the matter, its either download or don't play lol

  • t. daley

    Again you are looking at the micro and not macro. They want the GAME to change but they are not willing to CHANGE companies to get it. How else would you explain a game like NBA2k having broken game modes out of the box on day 1, Horendous customer support, Terrible communications, and largely recycled game play form 3 years ago and yet by your claims has increased sales by 60%, which btw seems quite overinflated. Its simple. People wont change. Every critic that has reviewed Live 10 has praised the company for finally turning the corner but yet 2kfanboy has yet to switch. People are comfortable with what they are used to. 2kfanboys like the way 2k plays where as live people like the way live plays. Its all about comfort, familiarity, and unwillingness to change to something new. It is inherent in most people and it extends across all facets of life.

  • Dustin

    Omg that is going to take me forever to download… Damnit that sucks… Thanks tho!!!

  • t. daley

    You are absolutely correct pasta. You have to look no further than to the college sports game to see the reality of what you have said. Games cost a whole lot more to make than last gen and if games to turn a big enough profit then they have to fold. EA couldn't keep NCAA basketball afloat and it had no competition other than its very own LIVE 10. I won't be surprised if NCAA football isn't a casulty in the future. I just don't see the viability in owning 2 games of the same sport. Nowadays there is only room for 1 or 2 companies to make a sports game. I am sure that is why EA continues to keep a death grip on football. It is their largest cash cow and being the only maker of football guarantees them 100% of the market share. I am sure the fees to purchase such exclusivity is nothing when compared to the profits that franchise is raking in each year.

  • Scott

    whoa! whoa! whoa! Stop the boat!

    I thought the Show was perfect every year? Isn't that what you fanboys say year in and year out?

  • t. daley

    You see Pasta you are reiterating what I have said all along. PEOPLE WANT NAME RECOGNITION MORE THAN QUALITY. You are absolutely right. A game needs a following. This is why 2k couldn't take down Madden and why Live can't take down 2k. It has absolutely nothing to do with quality and everything to do with Name Recognition and Fandom.

    To be quite honest I think Madden is too big and has too strong a fanbase for anyone to take it down. Its a juggernaught of epic proportions and any company trying to go up against them will likely fail epicly. Even if EA dropped the exclusivtiy, I still think no company could penetrate Maddens Armor. Madden is a cultrual icon now. But for the record Sony really should rethink dropping NBA basketball. 2k has a solid fanbase but they also had it with 2k7 baseball and we all know how that played out. Sony has the fiscal where with all and the system to make a basketball game that dwarfs the competition. They just need to commit to the project like they have with the show.

  • Sportsgamer

    live sales have went down. where did they go up at. last i heard they were way down from last year.

  • t. daley

    For the record pasta, sales go hand in hand with console sales. You say it took til MLB 09 for the sales to shoot up. I think you will find that console sales shot up as well so it only stands to reason that a system seller like the show would benefit.

  • Hueyfreeman

    Live 10 didnt turn the corner this year, It's just a less shittier game then it was last year. 2K still has the best NBA product even though it's far from perfect.

  • Sportsgamer

    why is it overinflated? the people claiming it was a 60 percent increase were websites that 2k had nothing to do with. you can go ahead and find the numbers. people got fed up with live and wanted something new. so they went over to 2K for their NBA gaming.

    Also, just because Live has gotten better doesnt mean its good yet. Its like saying, hey madden 10 is better then 09. Well no shit, it still fucking sucks overall.

  • mattcolby

    No biggie. It's all good.

  • http://twitter.com/Shaunheiser Shaun Heiser

    That's not even mentioning the little nuances they added to stadiums, etc. I'm not sure if it's just me, but this is the first year the crowd feels alive, when you hit a home run at Yankee Stadium, it SOUNDS like you hit a home run at Yankee stadium. It feels like a better overall game experience than 09 did, but I guess that's what you're supposed to do when developing new sports games.

  • Amen Ra

    Isn't that what the Show did?

  • rob

    8 pitch warmup! Wait to bore the person to death waiting to play the game!

  • Go Royals

    I really wish san diego studios would use the same graphics and physics engine and same controls and make a college baseball game to go with the show. Imagine the SHOW, but with college teams, stadiums, and atmosphere. I would give my left n@t to have a college baseball game. Especially with the option to import, export draft classes to the SHOW. I am so addicted to MLB 10 the show. Best game EVER. I really think there are so many fans that would convert to PS3 if there was college baseball. I know my brother would love that, He wants a PS3 for the SHOW.

  • t. daley

    Not every comment Amen Ra. But truth is the truth. 2k IS a shell of its former self despite what sales are. Sales doesn’t equate to product quality and there is no accounting for personal taste. But lets recap 2k sports shall we:
    1) NHL Hockey: Was once the king and now is on the chopping block to disband
    2) NFL Football: Showed promise in 2k5, Epicly failed in 2k8 and is now defunct
    3) Boxing: Horrible game in Don Kings boxing. Franchise disbanded
    4) Tennis: Niche sport that really nobody plays and has no real competition
    5) NCAA Basketball: Failed due to lack of sales: disbanded
    6) MLB2k: Top game in 2007 but has failed miserably over the past 2 years and the only thing keeping it afloat is that its the only game for 360 owners. Its clearly second rate to MLB the show
    7) NBA2k: Top basketball franchise for many years now due largely to perceived reputation. There actual product has declined in quality over the years and the game hasn’t significantly changed in 3 years. They are flying largely by reputation at this point. There is cause for concern as Live is steadily improving and has turned a corner with Live 10.

  • Anonymous

    I don’t like the direction that game companies are taking with the release first patch later mentality but I definitely appreciate the fact that SCEA has a patch out the day after release. Glad to see solid company support, especially after purchasing NCAA Basketball 10 and having absolutely no post release help or patches of any kind (on 360 anyway).

  • Anonymous

    I really don’t mind the patches for sports games. They have a shorter development cycle (less than a year) when your standard game has two or three years at least. So it’s understandable, especially with such a complex game like The Show, for some bugs to come to the surface once the game is released.

  • Anonymous

    No one has ever claimed perfection. Has it beat the competition now three years running? Well, that’s a fact, so we’ll just keep the boat sailing if you don’t mind. Is it the best sports game series of all time? Some will say so. I am one of them. But it’s not perfect for sure. No game has ever been perfect.

  • Amen Ra

    I agree with all your points except the following.

    2)ALL-PRO Football failed because it didn’t have real players not because of crappy quality.

    5)COLLEGE HOOPS- Was by far the superior NCAA b-ball title before they stopped making it. Also it did not fail entirely due to lack of sales. It failed because the licensing was way too much and was therefore not profitable. All NCAA games (even the ones by EA) have smaller sales than professional league game. notice that EA has now stopped making ncaa basketball too.

    7)How can you so easily dismiss NBA2K as succeeding due to “perceived reputation” and not making big updates, when the Show is doing the EXACT SAME THING!!! This game has not changed more significantly than NBA2k in the past 3 years and you do nothing but heap praise on this game despite all the bullshit glitches we are bombarded with on day 1.

    for the record I don’t give a damn about any game company as a whole. I oncly concern myself with the quality of the product I purchased. If a game is good I could give a fuck who makes it. I enjoy NBA2K10, The Show, and NCAA Football, but when they present bullshit I’m going to call them on it.

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

  • Trojan92

    What’s the link to this “bug/glitches” thread? I pitch using the outfield view and the backstop netting behind the plate appears and disappers between at bats. it also has a weird effect on the fans, makes them look blurry. Collision detection still remains to be an issue, I know they probably cant fix this with this year’s game, but they REALLY need to to resolve the collision issues for MLB 11. Takes away form the game experience.

    It’s still a great game but far from the most “Realistic” when base runners keep sliding through basemen.

  • ben

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

  • 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

  • nike21

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

  • Cubs2010

    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 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.

  • sandul

    i dunno about “bullshit” glitches… i’ve seen a couple, but they’ve been minor for the most part. at least online gameplay was fixed, wasn’t that the one thing that everyone wanted to see fixed?

  • sandul

    yeah, life throws curveballs, and no one ever knows the future guaranteed, you never talk about the future as if it’s going to happen, because that’s not in our control, so “if” is the correct wording. Chill mattcolby, it’s all good.

  • Joe

    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.

  • ande3243

    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?

  • Eddy

    Thx… I thought so.

    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.

    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

  • mattcolby

    I see where you’re coming from, sandul. Only problem is, this is a business we’re talking about and they have to plan for this type of stuff. And if the franchise glitches are what people are saying, that can be pretty major if you ask me.

    I think I’m just going to stick to RTTS for now until I see for myself what the issue is with all the franchise stuff before investing more time in one. Might do some multiple season sims and see if the issue really bug me personnaly. Sometimes things to get blown out of proportion on the internet. It’s all about personal preference anyway.

    And I’m defintely chillin’ like a villin’. So no worries. Loving the game so far. Just don’t want to run into these issue down the line and have to start over when and if they’re fixed down the line. And if they aren’t fixed, just going to have to learn to ignore them and realize it’s just a video game and shit happens sometime. Game is way too fun to let any issue keep me from playing right now for sure.

    Okay, peace out. Had some spare time again at work so sorry for the ramble.

  • 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 see now thanks matt…..always great to hear from the best….

  • 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….

    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!

  • brianFLA

    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.

    Please fix the franchise roster updates. You guys have a awesome game and that is the only thing preventing me from buying it. The rosters updated automatically for one of the 2k games(been so long so I have played one). I am not complaing it just seems it would be so simple and awesome. Thank you

    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?
