MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

[Braves Fan]

Will this patch fix the Atlanta Braves road uniforms you think? That's the one thing that bothers me more than anything. I know it seems silly but the hats don't match the alternate jersey. When they wear their road blues they also wear the navy blue hats. They don't wear the the hat with the tomahawk running trough the A.

I'd really like to see this fixed if at all possible, the historical aspect of it doesn't mean a lot to me. And although I would like to see the schedule fixed it's not as big of a deal since I rarely ever play the Cubs anyway.

The lineup glitch is a problem though but haven't some players found away around that anyway? I know when I was fooling around on Sports Connect this afternoon I saw one player have the lineup glitch as a part of his roster download. I even played the Rockies to make sure and sure enough Todd Helton was batting 3rd.

I almost forgot, I hope it addresses framerate issues in some stadiums (namely Yankee Stadium and Dolphin Stadium).

The only way around the lineup glitch is to edit players attributes. Then down the road, you have problems with the lineups anyway. It is not ideal.

If your only problem is the Braves unis, then you are a lucky dude.
No, I don't think they are going to devote any time to fixing unis due to the other issues taking precedent, unless you want the patch released in late May or early June. Sorry about the unis, but I think you will have to live with it, but you never know.

It's actually a lot of guys after I looked around. B. Wagner, Pujols, the list goes on and on and varies from roster to roster and when you loaded them.

Last year there was too many sim stolen bases and everyone was in arms...but again they were "just stats."

Yea, now that you put it that way, it is a big deal. Stats are king in baseball.
I was playing a stock SCEA rosters franchise, and after a few games, for some reason a lot of career stats got messed up even though it was fine in the beginning. I wouldn't have noticed it except in the paper, there was a headline about C. Villanueva of the Brewers breaking the career saves mark or something like that. I checked and he had 550+ saves all of a sudden. Don't know what happened there.

Its just a quick recognition ( sometimes ). For example, I recently broke Joe Dimaggio's hit streak and not a word was said. I broke it with an RBI double in the fourth. They just commented on my hit. They only seem to recognize hit streaks and such when it's a single. I say start your franchise if you plan on playing all 162. I start usually as soon as possible but always fall short. Usually when the summer games come out. ( Ufc, ncaa,fight night,etc this year ). Also I know its too late but I wish they would patch in a better celebration when you win the world series. Skipped ahead to check it out and it is very lackluster to say the least. Not as rewarding as it should be. Technically you're "beating" the game. The celebration should be rewarding. I would love to sit back and watch a sick long celebration.

Yea. Heck the best celebration in sports gaming history is still probably Tecmo Super bowl on the Nintendo. That's been a long time folks. You would think they would be dumping champagne, kissing female reporters, riding a horse around Yankees stadium, and everything by now.

I dont see how asking that much is so difficult. I also think they should release the game next year on opening day, instead of rushing the release and having a game you can't start a franchise with until May. I know Sony has a lot to do with that, but just a suggestion. and thanks to all the people who help make the rosters !! great work !

I'm probably going to be attacked for saying this:coo la:, but so much for their communication with the forum . (I was just looking for any excuse to use these emoticons, lol)

Maybe they got stuck on the island in "Lost", are working for the Dharma Initiative in the 1970s, and can't get back to our time period. Right now as we speak, they are working on Intellivision baseball with the crude technology they have.

Below is Russell after he time traveled in Lost and ended up in the Sahara desert and the game they are working on now (patch this OSers! they say)..

^^^lol...well, I don't know if I'd communicate too much here either right now. It could be brutal. They've already stated that there is no tangible update, so any communication is likely to lead to a barrage of repetative questions and exaggerated claims of the game's "brokenness."

Jokes aside, IMO this particular forum has spiraled downhill from the great one I used to lurk so much that it ended up getting me to join OS. Oh well. (That was not directed at your post, BTW...it was actually pretty funny. It was more towards the general tone this forum has taken lately...sad).
