MLB 13: The Show Live Launches

[AnEternalEnigma]

I loaded the latest online roster before going into The Show Live and I'm still seeing issues. Rookies from the first week such as Jackie Bradley Jr. for the Red Sox, Evan Gattis for the Braves, and Jedd Gyorko for the Padres still show up as "TBD" in the opening week games. When you actually play the games, they are not there like they are supposed to be. So no, loading the online roster does not solve all the problems.

Also, using L2 and R2 to scroll through the calendar doesn't even work anymore because it's already gotten so bloated.

EDIT: Also, playing the Red Sox @ Blue Jays game from 4/5/13 and Clay Buchholz is in Boston's closer spot. And yes, this is with the latest roster update loaded before I went into the mode.

I'm not home to verify, but I think you would need to load the live roster for that week... April 1, I believe.

That would be incredibly stupid if that's the case. I shouldn't have to keep all the rosters on my hard drive and load one for the week I want to play. This mode was advertised as pulling all the data from the servers so if the player is in the roster I have loaded, it should work. Horrible design if that's true, although I doubt it is.

I just played tonight's Braves @ Tigers game on The Show Live with the 4/22 rosters loaded and Brian Wilson was in the Tigers bullpen.

Guess this mode isn't for you.

What do you mean "isn't for me"? It isn't for anyone with these kinds of errors and the hoops you have to go through to supposedly make stuff work, which I haven't seen work anyways even with the latest roster update loaded, which has Jackie Bradley Jr. in it.

This mode was advertised as a way to play every game exactly as they happened at any point in the season. It's been almost a month and "TBD" is still the Red Sox left fielder for the first week of the season.

What's even dumber is that Jose Valverde is in the 4/22 roster as a free agent. So theoretically, the game should see on MLB's roster feed that Valverde is on the Tigers and place him on the roster. Even if Valverde wasn't there, there's no reason Brian Wilson should be on the Tigers.

I'm not sure if you were trying to be a smartass or not, but this mode has a lot more problems than simply being "not for me".

Let's face facts and admit that, despite how personally hyped I was for this feature, this mode probably should have been held off until MLB 14.

Your complaints are mostly valid. It's obvious this mode doesn't meet your requirments, so I guess this year it's not for you.

I've actually had some fun with it, but I really don't sweat the little stuff in this kind of mode.

You didn't load the roster before you played. I played that game, and the rosters were correct.

To me it's another SCEA fail after Diamond Dynasty. They should have wait or spend the cycles on something else .
