Quit game, then start the game and if you are connected to network you'll be prompted for the patch.

I think the people having problems are using aftermarket third party rosters. I'm using the April 11 roster update and there are no problems. Using a third party roster is like putting an aftermarket bumper on your car, it voids the warranty.

If you progress past the first season you need the patch.

Is this right?

I love hitting with pitch speed 10 as it feels more authentic and rewarding to me that way. You will get used to a given pitch speed after putting enough practice into it. Lowering it definitely helps by giving you more time for pitch recognition, but even at a given pitch speed setting, you'll have to deal with pitchers throwing in high-90s one day and then mid-80s next, with which the slider won't help you closing the gap. Between max and min pitch speeds, you'll be adjusting for about 10 - 20 mph, in terms of how you visually feel those pitches travel.

Sorry, I'm not sure about how sliders are set for online play; never played online.

as long as your PS3 is setup to connect to the internet, it should prompt you to download the patch when you boot the game up.

You're probably right - however, I never had a single problem timing a fastball before the patch. If anything, I was oftentimes too early on fastballs!

I thought this was the case (even this year), as every time there was a throw to home, it was how you describe. There was just a throw in my last game from the AI to the 3rd base side (to tag my runner out) and I have had throws to the ~center and 3rd base side playing in games this weekend. I'm glad this has been updated, just be patient and you should see this has been updated!

How can I tell if I have the patch? Im not sure I remember downloading it. Also will the patch work if my season is already in progress? Thanks

P.S

Thankyou for fixing the issue of throwing down to first with the catcher that allowed the runner to advance to second.

On the XMB, scroll to the "Game" Section and click on Game Data Utility. Go to the MLB 11: The Show data, hit triangle and go to information and it will say what version you have.
