There are obviously quite a few problems that can't easily be fixed without frogging something else up.

I would think they HAVE to attempt to fix it, the franchise crashing etc. They may not address other issues (the replays, flashbacks, roster issues, DL glitch etc), but the problems people are having with old franchises has to be addressed in some way.

I agree though, where they are in the cycle is 2010 time.

Every sports game like madden, nba 2k, nba live, ncaa football all get bashed and huge list of ideas for next years game is created. but scea puts out a game with a lot og bugs that clearly affect not only knights great and detail work but schedules are messed up dl issues and stamina issues and crahsed franchises and a lot of other things like having to have 2 controllers to get something to work. and people want to defend the game by calling it just a video game and we should take it for what is worth. sorry but it was worth a lot to many who plucked down to also get a ps3 just for this game. you cant say that we should not ask for new things in future games just because they should worry about the issues that are there now and if we ask for to much they might forget. that is b.s and they make millions of the customer and we should expect a working product and for thr game to improve every year. if not them dont make the game and just do roster updates. the game is very good but it has gameplay flaws and these bugs...i wanna see these same apologist just say that the other sports games are just video games and be so care free

Yes.....I would rather play The Show, with all it's bugs and lineup issues, because it is the BEST baseball sim out today, and maybe the best ever. The only one that comes close is MVP 05.

Of course, I'm frustrated just like you Guru, everyone is, but just because I, or we stick by the game doesn't make us apologist. Personally, I stick with this game and choose not to go on and on about what doesn't work because, like I said, nothing even comes close to it as far as actual gameplay and realism.

See, the thing at this point is, there is nothing that can change or fix the issues at hand. Obviously, they tried and it didn't work. But IMO, after my initial disappointment and getting my frustrations out last night, I played a game and realized again why I love this game so much. It did, and does for me what I want my games to do for me and that is to give me a chance to pass my time in a fun way. Even with all the bugs and glitches, it still does that.

So, if you really love baseball and really want to play a realistic baseball video game, you will grab one of these beautiful rosters Knight did and start your franchise. I think the Scea team understands their errors and we will all have an even better experience next year.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be a jerk - it just happens (kind of annoyed with everything today and yesterday)

There were several guys yesterday who were in franchises that were crashing and they weren't pressing R2 either.

I just don't want SCEA to think that the R2 issue is the only problem.

Sounds like the patch has created more issues than it fixed? I haven't downloaded it yet and I'm not sure that I'm going to. From what I'm gathering, Russell claims that certain issues such as stamina, lineup, and incorrect name issues were addressed and everyone else says that they weren't? Could it be possible that there was a problem with the patch and that somehow everyone downloaded a corrupted version?

I started my first franchise yesterday as I've been playing RTTS workin on gettin those trophies. I had NO prior franchise save. I deleted my old settings, rosters, sliders and completely started from scratch as the stuff I was using was entielry meant for RTTS. I'm pretty happy with how it plays out of the box with the exception of strike % which I lower all the way down.

So even post patch this was plan, lucky me I guess. Mind you I'm not a roster guy, control guy, I don't care about who bats where unless it is my own team. The stat historical stat glitch bugged me but I DL'ed the new scea rosters and it's all good.

I played 4 games last night and had zero problems. No crashing, replays worked, even the my soundtrack stuck. It was only 4 games but I'm keepin my fingers crossed it stays the same.

Hey, it's like Russell told me once before, it's just business.

So when does NCAA Football come out?

Guys, I bought The Show 09 and have yet to open it. I've been reading all the posts about the patch and doesn't sound good. I'm not willing to go through all these work arounds, just to get things to work. Will this game work with a new install with SCEA's newest roster? Should I keep it or exchange it for another sports game. I have NBA 2K9 for the PS3 already.
