If this was programmed, DHs would always have perfect fatigue and would be playing in too many games in a season. There's no "DH bug" because it works in the game as the programmers intended.

You've got to be one of the most disagreeable chaps here.

It (DH fatigue issue) doesn't bother me much, but you're missing one important point they make however, the DH's tire much more than the guys that play the field. How do you sweep that one under the rug?

The only idea I have to "fix" this one is to change all DHs stamina to 100 or close to it. How does that work out?

Russel, simple question, objective...just so i and other people dont get high hopes and can move along...

Is there any possible chance of a new pacth??or is this 09 cycle done??(thats my guess) I ask that becasue i cant remember SCEA coming up wiht more than 2 pacthes in any of the past years.

I have a Cardinals franchise that I started pre-patch with Ridin's latest roster last week, and it worked fine after the patch last night. The relief pitcher's innings pitched was correct, I had post-game replays, and I even checked the Cubs schedule and saw more day games, all with no problems.

With all of the problems others have had though, I'm a bit worried about continuing. I'm only 7 games in, so it might be easier to start over and not have to worry about it than have to worry about getting farther in and losing all of my work. For the people who had the crash, did it happen as soon as you started post-patch, or could you play a few games without a problem?

yeh, i thought about that work around too...
but the issue would still remain to me since i would like to use the DH position to rest(or tire less) players like the real A's do...
they DH giambi once in a while to rest his legs, move Cust to the Rf and put nomar at 1B..

To be sure, I compared my post-patch franchise with my pre-patch franchise, and in both, the Cubs have 11 afternoon games (1:05) next month, 10 in July, etc.

Yes, same here, only in season mode (like I said upthread). The schedule fix was evidently a global thing, and not just a fix to any new franchises out there.

OK. I wish I could help you there, but I don't play RTTS (don't even know most of the issues there), and have had no franchise crashes or replay issues. The only thing that has happened to me (but, it may be an isolated incident) is that when I was editing the rosters (outside of franchise) from 4/27 last night, the PS3 rebooted on me. This happened 2 times. After I completely shut off my PS3, it never happened again.

(FYI: I deleted the game, all old saves, and patch entirely yesterday and reloaded all of it.)

So does this mean that something might be done about the problems everyone's experiencing with another patch, or that it will be fixed for next year's game? Just wondering, like everyone else on here. Thanks for actually taking time to read these and responding.

I couldn't read through all of this thread, so people that had the RTTS problem with the September date, are going to have to start over. Is it fixed for people who yet one?
