At the very least, wait until you get into your second season of franchise.

If I delete all my game files install the patch, load in new rosters will I have problems ? I have a franchise but only a few games in so will start again if this will prevent problems.

Has this now been confirmed as what you need to do ?

From everything I've read, you're better off starting fresh, it's unfortunate but the best way to go.

Just started my new franchise. I lost (damnit), but i had replays, flashbacks, end of game replays and all that. And I didnt hit a HR, but scored 3 runs. Was nice. Hopefully it stays this way.

I have found (so far) if I don't press X at all during the end of the game stuff, it works, otherwise it does not. You may also want to avoid pressing x when a highlight appears in-game, but I am not sure about that one.
I have only NOT gotten replays 1 time out of 12 or so games. This all may have been coincidence as well, but the one time I did not get my replays, this is what I did "wrong".

Any thoughts on that guys? Have you tried not pressing X in the aformentioned situations? Does it make a difference?

Deleted all The Show related files on my HDD, downloaded the patch installed latest SCEA Rosters. My first ST game I had no problems with End of Game Highlights at all. This is with pressing X during cutscenes.

Well I have finally come to the realization I am probably going to have to start my season and RTTS over.

Very disappointed, to say the least. Still I get more enjoyment out of this baseball game than I do any other sports game I have ever played.

Not to mention on Tuesday I have to lay several people off, so this is really small potatoes on my list of major league bummers.

When the replay glitch patch comes out, I'll start a new season. Just have to figure out which team. Or maybe I'l use a fantasy draft. In the meantime I'll just play NFL Head Coach.

While all the hype was building for the '09 version, I recall it being mentioned that there were many things they were working on for next year's game that were fairly substantial changes. (Things like the collision detection, possibly weather, etc.) I now wonder if all the work that began on the changes for next year's version is potentially causing the issues we're seeing in this year's? (E.G. more code that is able to be affected, and potentially in a bad way, by patches released for this year's version). It could be that code we are in no way seeing any direct effect of is getting "activated" by code put in for the patch and as a result leading to issues elsewhere. Like if there is code in place for a future feature that impacts the current features in the game, and when certains sequences occur this code is "activated" and then alters the way existing features work.
