MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

[SaintDemure]

What is the actual date people with pre-patch franchises are having problems? The date of the schedule change?

I may try to sim past that date to see if mine crashes. I know some people aren't crashing at that specific date. I hope mine makes it past!!!!

Can someone explain the "schedule change" part of the above quote? I don't really know what that means, what I should look out for, and how to tell if it effects my team.

Thanks!!

The original schedule that came with the game had a 3 game series in April for the Dodgers and the Padres and when the patch came out, they made it a 4 game series (which is the same as real life).

If you were already past this game in your franchise or RTTS, it screwed up the schedule causing crashing when you look at the schedule screen.

As far as I can tell, sometimes it will freeze at your schedule, sometimes if you're looking at another teams schedule, sometimes in april, sometimes in may (you get the point). Everyone has had different experiences with this it seems.

Anyway, if you have a franchise that is past the date when they added the game, there is a chance that you will encounter the freeze and I would suggest you either delete the patch, or restart your franchise.

I have my franchise crash in June after playing about 30 games since the patch. All I did was delete the patch, sim past the day (June 5) that it was crashing and now I have played another 25 games with no crashing. All it took was some patience and critical thinking, I do not see any need to restart a franchise. Yes it sucks to sim a couple games, but better than the drastic solution some feel the need to offer.

Are you saying that once you get past the specific day that the game was added to the schedule that you will be able to continue your franchise without any problems? Im confused by this statement since Im playing as the Dodgers, you added a game to their schedule but that was right at the start of the season and Im at the end of May and it was still crashing anyways. Did you add more then just that one game to the Dodgers schedule? If not then I obviously am not understanding what you posted.

So the first 4 day series with the Padres or the second one? The Dodgers play the Padres Apr 6-9 and then April 30 - May 3rd. Which one is the one that causes issues?

Assuming I haven't played past that point yet, should my franchise be OK post patch?

I continue to not understand this either. This would be easily taken care of if they would just clearly explain it step by step.
