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

[countryboy]

EDIT: These rosters are using Knights fix for the lineup issue and a workaround that was used to fix the historical stats glitch. These rosters using the 3/7 roster update.

It also DOES NOT have all the FA roster moves(Pudge is still a FA and Sheff is still on Tigers) nor any real minor leaguers except for the Cards and a sprinkle of others, but you can make those moves prior to starting a franchise or add in the minor leaguers as you see fit.


If this doesn't work, please let me know.

Previously you would press L2 and your runner would take off on the pitch and it took into account your baserunners speed and steal ability, and it was nice to use when you wanted to hit and run without having to worry about the baserunning otherwise. At this point Im just not going to download the patch, it didnt accomplish anything that helps me at all and I dont want this feature to vanish, nor do I want my franchise crashing so I dont think Im going to be taking any chances.

More of a stupid question as before and after the patch I can still hit and run or steal with L2 with auto BR on.
I mean did anyone test this or just bitch about it as it still works for me ?

In that regard, there's no point in having them on the RV (and they might not even be usable from the RV with whatever coding the new glitchless rosters use). If we're at a point where old rosters break the game, there is a MUCH larger problem at hand, lol.

Ok, maybe Im getting myself confused but the way I saw it was that Knights rosters would no longer work with the game coupled with the patch and therefor I was either going to be stuck playing the game without the patch using his roster or not using his roster but having the patch, is this not correct then? If its just the stat glitch, which I would assume is the career stat glitch thats been mentioned consistently, then Im fine as using the workaround that was posted somewhere deep in the roster sub-forum I have career stats anyways but at the same time Im not using the full minors as I started awhile ago with his initial roster release.

I just tried the to lead off and steal when auto baserunning is on and I was able to do so as the user. I tried to do so when the CPU had baserunners and nothing happened. Now I know Russell's list stated that L1 or L2 would not work if you or the CPU had baserunners on, however, the message on SportsConnect said it that it would not work if the CPU had baserunners but nothing about the user. That could have been just less detailed but for those of you that thought that you could no longer be able to steal when using auto baserunning, I just tried several times and it worked every time.

Edit: This also worked for dorismary, so either they meant to fix this and did not or it was misstated in the list of the actual fix.

May I ask who's roster this is?

Sorry, haven't read the entire thread but does this fix the glitch where your RTTS player won't come to the plate for training, when doing the batting pratice drill? Or is there a fix for that? I've posted this in both the glitch thread and the RTTS thread will out much help. It worked fine for my first two months of the season and now everytime I enter the training, my player never shows up in the box.

Well I havent checked yet because I have to do a few things for Noahs fantasy baseball league first but when I read that they took this feature out I assumed that they did exactly what they stated they did. If in the end its still there and I can still use it then thats perfect for me and I have nothing to complain about. You cant fault someone for seeing a list of changes and complaining about something like this prior to checking as generally you assume they did everything that they posted they did.
