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

[n8rockerasu]

Did we ever get a solid answer on what was causing franchises created before the patch to crash? I started mine a few weeks ago using Ridin's last roster update and was able to avoid the stats glitch and everything. I've played 3 games since the patch...have had replays and highlights (and a working roster vault) in all of them...and haven't had a crash yet.

I'm actually playing through the ST games though...and I'm about 22 games in. I'm creating a new save after every game though, haha, because I feel like I'm playing Jenga with my franchise, and the next block I pull out will bring the whole thing down. Has anybody come out of this thing alive?

Any guesses as to what Russells "other info" is? I dont even know where to begin

Sounded like most people narrowed it down to an "extra" game being added to the schedule in April or May. As you tried to get past that game, it was having trouble handling the extra game for some teams, but not others.

This is one big peeing contest. There have been a ton of accusations thrown around, haven't there? Flat out, the devs have to be able to recreate what is causing the problem. That's been said before, but doesn't appear to be enough for some people.

I don't think I'm being overly dramatic but I do agree that there really isn't a need for this thread anymore. It should be locked and a new thread for Russell to post just updates would be nice.

This has nothing to do with the patch, but its good news something I thought everyone would like to know.

Starting next Monday once a month our roster updates will be released with attribute/ratings updates and changes based on player performance for that month.

You've just started another 1,000 post thread with that question, lol.

Correct (from what I was told). The crashing/freezing, etc are issues with older files. If you are starting a post-patch franchise you should be safe.

Big news for me...Guess what I'm starting tonight!
