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

[sirwoodz]

man, most of the issues that this patch addressed weren't even problems for me in the first place...cmon, fixing camera's going through the crowd? plus, I don't play online.

my only gripe has been the fatigue during the franchise problem. for them not to fix this is insane...can we get a reason as to why? is it something that is hard to fix w/the whole "buy a plane for your team" coding?

I know the look.....like when a probie is at his first fire(I guess mine must have looked the same way!)..."We're gonna go in THERE!?...
I saw a lot of guys with that same look several year ago though ....we just shrugged and took care of business anyway.
So yeah...this ish is SMALL potatoes(if you know what I mean....just a shame some guys can't see it that way.)

On another note...

Doc....someone also PM'ed me about another solution to the lineups...one that won't require a second controller. I did NOT get a chance to check it though and it might be a bit of a pain for some.
When you go to play your game...choose a SPORTSCAST game....then before the first pitch...ENTER the game and the lineup is the roster control lineup from what he said.
If someone can confirm this....it's a pretty good work around.

Does stuff like this really need to be posted? How do this add any input to this thread.

I commend SCEA at the long list of things that DO work in short a short turnaround.

Love this game still. Downlading the patch and about to play my entire season! Every game every matchup. I'll use the 2nd controller to fix the CPU lineup movements.....a small price to pay for hours of enjoyment.

Thanks Russell and your guys at SCEA.

Holy heck what would you guys do in a real emergency!! I can't believe I actually feel bad like somehow all this added pressure on SCEA is caused by me. I cannot however start these rosters over again just to rid them of the stat glitch. Just can't do it. Sorry. M.K. Knight165

Not your fault , your aces kid !!!!!!!!!!

Only good thing is Knight's roster works really well for most teams. I used my up to date roster (off of his original) started a franchise and the lineups look good (sticking like Knight has adjusted), even though there have been a lot of callups and send downs since the beginning of the season. Can't determine if I'm even going to bother with the patch though, and removing the ability to steal when baserunning is on AUTO? I don't understand that one. I know it was a glitch, but it was one of the good ones. He always plays on AUTO baserunning, but likes to choose to steal on his own once in awhile, overriding the AI, so......dunno. Ah, crap. Going to forge ahead with Knight's roster fix. Disappointed, to say the least, but moving on.

Yes I can confirm Jims feedback and knights V1 hold very nice.
But great news Jim we can still steal or hit and run on with auto baserunning on !
Dont fear the patch lol

LOL, of course you have to restart, your file was already corrupt.

Yeah...I think they fixed it for the CPU(where you would accidentally steal for them)
That is actually the perfect fix IMO.

Knights roster lineup fix works fine. The issue is, if you try to fix any other lineup (the AAA or AA lineups) or the pitching staff, they will not stick. This is for those of us that do NOT use Roster Control.

I dont use it, and i went through the Orioles lineup and set their MLB, AAA, AA lineup and pitching rotation, went into franchise (without roster control on), and the MLB lineup stuck (thanks to Knight's fix), but the other AAA, AA lineup and rotation will not stick.......

That has me disappointed.

Yep, I have to commend Knight for coming up with a pretty good fix for this. You can steal with auto baserunning ON AND the patch? How, so, says you can't.
