Shady,

To do this, do the following...

1) Turn on PS3 but do not go into the game, just go to your XMB screen.

2) Go to the "Game" heading, and you will see "Saved Data Utility" (These are your franchise, roster, settings, etc. saves) Delete all of them.

3) Now, still under "Game" heading, find "Game Data Utility". This is the BIG file that was installed onto your hard drive when you first fired up the game. Delete that as well.

Now you are at scratch, start up The Show, it will tell you there is an update available (The Patch). Download that and then it will download and install itself. Then it will begin to copy files to your HDD.

Make Sense?

Do you think I can fix this problem, or am I going to have to start over? I played 3 years in the majors and then got bored to be on that team so I simulated the next three years until I was a free agent. I didn't get an offer from a team I liked, so I waited out the offseason and tried out for the Dodgers. Anyway, I can simulate just fine and I can play a game, but then when the game ends and goes to the "Last Game Stats" loading screen, it freezes. I can still hear the game sound bites or music in the background, but the screen is frozen, the loading bar stops moving. I had the patch and it made my RTTS crash, but I uninstalled and it worked fine after that, I played and simulated a bunch of games. I don't know what's wrong with it. I really don't wanna delete it or start over since I had all my attributes maxed out and I was just starting to play for the team I wanted to play for. Any suggestions as to what I can do? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Your only options are to either play without the patch or start over.

(E.G. more code that is able to be affected, and potentially in a bad way, by patches released for this year's version). It could be that code we are in no way seeing any direct effect of is getting "activated" by code put in for the patch and as a result leading to issues elsewhere. Like if there is code in place for a future feature that impacts the current features in the game, and when certains sequences occur this code is "activated" and then alters the way existing features work.

Don't think so hard!

so are they still working on a mini patch to fix the replays/post game highlights?

Thanks. Yup, that makes sense. I haven't really done a helluva lot yet so there isn't much to lose. So once I clean everything off and install the path (1.06), I should be able to download Knight's V5 roster and play a franchise without any issues whatsoever (e.g the missing in game and post game replays) Or is that still debatable? Hence the mini-patch.

Ok... I can not read 250 pages so hopefully someone can help me...

I read that Knight released a new roster that works with the patch. What happens to the people franchise that are using his old rosters? Do the freeze or what? I am using Ridins old set so I am guessing they will do the same. Any help would be great
