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

[idesign2]

Does anybody know whether the patch fixed the freezing issue when trying to save multiple copies of a replay? I was hoping this fix would be included in this patch, as I believe this issue was supposed to be fixed in a previous patch.

I love this game, SCEA and everyone associated with this game. Period.

That being said - I REALLY don't understand the logic here. The lineup issues and more importantly the DL issue are huge obstacles to the enjoyment of franchise - yet the SCEA team spent time and energy addressing the replay issue? I just don't understand the priorities here. I am at a point in my Franchise that if I loose just a couple more players to the DL - I may have to restart my franchise because I won't have enough people to field a lineup..I could care less weather replay works or not. (and it worked just fine for me by the way - pre and post patch) I am dissapointed - really dissapointed.

That's all I got.

Well I think the DL may have been by design or it works as it was intended to. The Replays worked prior and then were broken with the patch. I think there was an obligation to fix something that was working fine before the patch.

I am glad the replays are back, I thoroughly enjoy them. I hope they address the DL and DH fatigue issues with 2010.

I'm venturing to say that this is NOT an easy fix. The code is probably tied to the AUTO FIX lineups and probably will take some major studying and is not just fixed with the flip of a switch, unfortunately.

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.

im about to play so ill give that a try right now.

The replay fix was probably a quick tiny bit of code to update. Therefore, it was easy to take care of and didn't require a lot of man-hours (and hence money) to correct. Remember, SCEA is not going to allocate a great deal of funding to continue working on an already released game. It's just not financially feasible to do so.
