spring training line-ups and rosters is not a glitch

So using the live rosters now will give you a correct 2013 off-season and good budgets however using knights rosters will still give you all-stars on the FA list that won't be signed all season long? Is this correct?

If they can get the issue ironed out and not have any other side effects...then we will have more fixes then a week ago to things we just expected to deal with. Yes it sucks to wait and not be able to play, but worth the time to have it all working for the most part. I would rather have less new features added to MLB11 though. The game could be perfect this year. Fix all the bugs and then add on slightly. It does get worse every year with the bugs. I still pre-order/buy it though because IMO its the best sports title out there. However I may hold off finally next year fearing this will just happen again, with more problems then the year past.

I agree, and this is what I've been telling people. We can commend SCEA all we want for addressing these bugs and releasing 3 (and what will be 3.5) patches for this game. And it's definitely better than just ignoring the problems (though to an extent, they have to do it to protect next year's sales). But the fact remains that it took 3 patches over 2.5 months of time to get the game to work properly. The past couple years with this game, I've felt like a beta tester for the first 2 months...a $60 paying beta tester.

If I were to buy the game today, I could get it for about $30. I'd really like to see a more stable product out of the gate to actually give people an incentive to pre-order/purchase at launch. MLB 11 should be built with this year's features being 100% perfect (this includes player potential, lineup issues, trade logic, online leagues, server stability, etc.) before any new features are added. I guess then people would complain saying it's "a $60 roster update", but it would really be nice to be able to play WITH the real season, rather than starting 2 months behind. Just my opinion anyway.

Thus may be a dumb question but can you delete the third patch and if so is it worth deleting?

yes you can, but you'll delete all patches (1, 2 & 3).

To delete, uninstall your game data utility and then do not redownload the update. Also, without the update, you lose all online functionality. This includes downloading roster updates.

I've been wondering this same thing. Hopefully someone else knows cause I do not myself.

Also, you will loose all your music and have to add them back and assign them to your players if you have done so already.
