MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

[tylersmom000]

Just curious if anybody knows how to get started. I put the game in and it says I have version 6.10 and need to update to version 6.20. When I do this it then says that it can't read the disk. The game is brand new, just out of the package.

We showed him that players with more than 5 years of service could not be sent down without having to pass through waivers. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...s-pics-12.html I made a suggestion as a fix to give all players with more than 5 years service all options used.... Latest update all players I have looked at have 3/3 for options if they have played more than 5 years. Great work!!

Yep, indeed.

In the same way Kolbe was superb in making sure that was fixed, he and the whole team will be again in making sure the patch corrects all the major issues we want it too.

I keep saying it, but patience is a virtue in this case.

Only thing is, patch does not help people without online.What about all those disk sitting on store shelves with an incomplete game?I know ill get the patch but what about those people?I love the show and know the problems will get worked out but, it's sad that the game got put on in this condition.When you look and see that a demo is still not out, and the website is not done, you can get an idea of how sloppy this year was handled.Praise the devs when they do good but, patch or no patch it's gonna be rough for some people with this game till next year.

I would suggest those without online, the majority wont have the feintest idea 99% of these issues exist.

Maybe but maybe not.

Still like the game though I think it's light years better than last year when it's working.

lol...I think the website's state is a really poor example of what you're trying to say, but I see your point and it's perfectly reasonable.

I do agree that it's a shame for those who don't have online, but I'm a bit torn on this subject in general. On the one hand, games should definitely be in the best possible state upon release, no question.

On the other hand, their are some harsh realities to contend with...particularly for these annually released games. Time, priorities, etc are all constrictive. Plus, these consoles were promoted and advertised for their online capability. This is also the known direction of software (and has actually been that way for YEARS on the PC) as a whole. Anyone who gets these expensive entertainment systems should probably understand what they are getting into at this point.

None of this "excuses" these bugs, etc but it is the unfortunate reality of this particular industry. Like it or not, bugs do happen (and lots of them) for EVERY game. I think frustration exceeds realistic expectations for these games. These bugs are tough for some people to swallow sure, but think of all the games that are 3-4 year productions and are released with as many or more bugs that require patching.

Personally, while I get frustrated with bugs (particularly carry overs from year to year) I am more concerned with how efficiently they're addressed. If all games release with bugs, then what separates developers is how they respond. That is likely why you have so many people jumping to the defense of SCEA in this regard as they have always responded extremely well.

Absolutely it is, that, added with SCEA's previous record of righting the wrongs in a patch make me relaxed that all will be well in the end.
