MLB 09: The Show Mini-Patch (1.07) Released 5/19/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

A little off topic, but I'll ask this question anyway:

Russell, was this the last patch for MLB 2009? If not, could we use this thread to make a list of things that could be addressed in a final patch?

I believe they confirmed previously that this would be it. Don't quote me on that, though.

I went ahead and loaded it tonight since I pitched a no hitter once and had no highlights, and it would have been nice, so I couldn't resist.

I haven't had a problem so far after playing one franchise game that was already started pre-patch.
The Highlights are working fine now, even if you press x during the game when the highlights show up.

So far so good....

Off topic here, but I the announcer in one of my games claimed that Kaz Matsui was now the all-time hit king and made quite a big deal about it. I need to check his career stats and see if it is messed up (these are newer rosters) or if it was just a strange glitch with the announcer.

Anyone ever hear this?

this is gonna sound wierd but post patch first game I played almost every time I swung down with x the batter would not swing thru just check swing even though I was holding swing button.It would do this for low strikes and balls. wierd. I am going to try to switch controllers. This has never happened to me before, anyone else?

Hey guys, just came on to check out patch news. I played the game this morning after getting the new patch but ran into a problem.

My RTTS crashed in the offseason of my first year, I think around the same time people have mentioned. It was the day after the first starred day in the calendar, which was for contract negociations with players who don't have contracts for the next season.

I certainly hope this wasn't the last update, because if it is, I fear the same problems exist.

Rawdeal, if you feel like it try this:

Next time you play and it starts an in-game highlight (not just an in-game replay, but one where the MLB the Show logo comes on, and they "flash back", press X to skip it. Do it everytime an in-game highlight comes on, especially the very last time one comes on. Then, when the game ends press X to skip through everything until you get to the part with the post game highlights.

If you still don't have any problems, then you don't need the patch.

In my testing, it seemed like skipping the very last in-game highlight/flashback was the most important for the replays not working. I had skipped earlier in-game highlights and it did not seem to affect the post game highlights, but the last one skipped always did. For the longest time, I thought I had no problem with highlights either since I watched everything usually.

Post-patch #3 (mini-patch), the highlight problem appears to be fixed.
