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

[DrUrsus]

Well, it finally happened. I didn't get my replays and when I went into the Vault, and chose some plays, it showed the batter and no one else, lol. The ball was hit and then jiggled around the infield, lol. Weird, to say the least.

Here is what I did different tonight from what I normally do. When they did a flashback for a player that hit a HR, I skipped it, which I normally don't do at all.

Also, at the end of the game instead of watching and listening to everything and NEVER pressing X, I was impatient because it is very very late and I wanted to go to bed, so I started pressing X thinking once I got to the part where they usually show highlights it would show them.
But, no, it just ended after it looked like it was going to show the highlights. Then in the vault the replays were messed up like I described above. I will definitely not be pressing X from now on at the end of the game. Maybe it was coincidence, but that was the only thing I did different this time.

Guess I will be getting the mini-me patch next week afterall.

You guys not getting replays do you make sure you never press X at the end of the game and let it all play out?

Except it's already basically been confirmed that it's not getting fixed.

Face it, we got hosed if we had pre-patch franchises so other "important" things could get fixed. Do I believe they set out to do this on purpose? Of course not, Im not an idiot. Is it a huge letdown to hear that they are in essence doing nothing to resolve this problem? Yes it is.

Yeah, that's a fine way to thank the people who bought the game early on and helped it put up huge sales numbers. I definitely see where you are coming from. Obviously the issue wasn't intentional, but the fact that they are basically telling you to start over is definitely a slap in the face.

They aren't even going to fix the stuff they SAID they fixed in the second patch like the CPU roster control on lineup problem. It's late, and I have had a long day, and quite frankly, my momma always said if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all, so...............................................

Well, a fix to the replays is better than nothing... I'm glad there is at least some resolution.

Wow, I just got done with my online game between the sox and cubs at the cell, and it went 20 freaking innings. Top 20th, I pinch hit big-z, he goes yard. Cubs win 2-1. I'm pumped, because I'm going to save the replay or whatever, but guess what? It doesn't work. fail.

For some reason, the highlights get skipped after the game, and I can't check out my plays in the replay vault. Very depressing. Also, sportsconnect has been blocking me out of online sometimes, claiming there is another user logged in. WTF? Also, after a game, the results sometimes show either me or my opponent was the orioles, when neither of us were them. idk.

I downloaded an earlier version of Knights roster and started a franchise. Now about about 18 games into this franchise ( i follow the real season) i turned on the game an the patch updated the game. Now its been 4 games since and i havent seen ONE thing different. My replay vault works, post game highlights work. The Cpu still sets the lineup the way it wants ( i play with roster control on), but thats the way it was before. My question is, why is only some peoples game having problems???????? If i had to grade this patch i would say WHAT PATCH? nothings seems to be different in regards to replays and highlights and lineups etc....

Is there any reason to anticipate my franchise becoming fubar, or am I in the clear to keep going? I downloaded the most recent patch, obviously.

I was on April 27th of my Mets franchise when I downloaded the patch and I've played three games (and simmed six) and haven't had a problem. No crash to the XMB, no lineup glitch, no historical stats glitch, no replay glitch (yet). I have no idea if it'll stay that way, but I'm moving forward with my franchise.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Russell - I am really shocked that you guys aren't fixing this though. Oh well, no point worrying about it too much.

I understand why SCEA is on these boards, but I fail to see why they couldn't have just said this when they released the information that a new patch will be released. Everything about this patch seems really cryptic, which is probably the most frustrating thing for me personally.

I can't wait to have those replays on the franchises and RTTS that I can no longer play!
