MLB '10 The Show Game Update 3.1 (v1.12) Details (5-21-10)

[Braves Fan]

I didn't mean to forget to praise the people at SECA for the hard work. I don't think you had to work this hard on a patch #3 but you did and I really do appreciate it. You care about your customers and it shows. Not everything can be fixed but you do more than most companies would ever consider. I feel very fortunate to have a PS3 and be able to play your game every year. For a die hard baseball fan there is nothing better.

I just finished a game up after the patch and is it me or is the gameplay smoother? Some of the animations on auto fielding seems to be improved.

As long as there are no freeze bug glitches as a side effect to this patch I am very, very happy.

Played a couple of games in my franchise tonight after downloading the latest patch (franchise save was pre-patch) and did plenty of moves on the Manage Roster screen for several different teams and did not experience any freezes or problems. Two games isn't much of a test, but so far so good for me.

Patches and being several versions deep in a sports game always worry me. I have flashbacks to Front Page Sports Football 99. FPS Football was a great game but as they released new versions every year and patches it seemed to get more buggy resulting in the mess that was 99. One of the lead designers said that by the time they got to the 99 version that the code was such a mess and got so unruly from constantly being added on to that it was impossible to tell what would happen when something was added or changed. The programmers wanted a two year window to rebuild from the ground up but the company wanted to keep the yearly release schedule.

I am not saying The Show is going down that road, just expressing concerns I have when patches are released and then bugs are reported that werent there before.

I seriously lol'd at this update item:

-Fixed Clayton Mortensen's face

Arghhhhh! I downloaded and installed the update, restarted my PS3 and the game is refusing to load.

It reaches the loading screen with the picture of Joe Mauer, and the loading bar freezes about a quarter of the way.

This is ridiculous. Has it happened to anyone else?

(I just want to clarify that it's freezing before the disc even loads - not the roster screen like others have reported)
