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

[callmetaternuts]

Im having an awful time hitting post patch. I'd like to attribute this to me just sucking, but pre-patch I was doing alright. Pre-patch i was batting about .280ish as a team averaging about 1 HR a game (little less) and 3-4 runs a game, on average.

Since the patch, im batting .134 as a team, with 0 HR's and scoring less than 2 runs a game.

Any advice? On legend, default sliders for the most part. I dont wanna mess with sliders, but it just seems I'm in the toilet right now

Edit: Also, any word on the release of the mini-patch? Thought it was this week.

I was having a similar problem and just dropped down a level and things seem to have worked out. Even though I'm not homering like I was before, the average has climbed back up.

I was getting too many hits. I have since switched to Legend and put contact down to 3 for me and the AI and power down to 4. Plays great. Moved Fileder run speed to 2 and reactions to 8 and lowered pitcher consistancy to 4. All changes are for bot me and the AI. Prior to doing this, all my games were 12 to 18 hit games. Just too many.

First FIFTEEN games post-patch I hit 1 homerun in my Twins franchise. I started messing with the pitch speed slider, which had been at +4, and I moved it to -3, seemed like the ball was getting to the plate much faster. Last three games my hitting turned around and I'm back to +4 and hitting like I was pre-patch. Must have just been a bad slump.

What I don't get about this patch ithough, is why some people are not getting post game replays or the flashback, and other people, including myself, never lost them.

Really surprised no word on the patch. I know we only had an ETA (emphasis on the ESTIMATED portion), but thought this week would be it.....
