MLB 12 The Show Game Update 1.16 Arrives, Details Included - Post Your Impressions

[decga]

Do we have an option for a download of a patch? When I pop in the Show and there is a patch always get prompt to download it. There is not a yes or no option. I see this patch unlike others there is information or details of patch after the first or two downloads. Also I notice unlike in years past, we do not get info about patches in the announcements in the game.

I appreciate SCEA trying to get things correct, but it seems this year patches are causing problems. Problems that might allow some customers to sway a little. IMO!

So what's the final thought here with the patch? Don't download if you want to continue playing your franchise?

I went into my franchise (May 10th) and simulated all the way to the playoffs. Every team that was supposed to make the playoffs did, and all teams had 162 games played.

I am using 30 team control with Knight's ST rosters. I had to start this franchise over because patch 1.06 froze my original. Maybe it has something to do with the people having franchises past the All-Star break post patch?

So if we restart the franchise or RTTS, we should be fine? Does this only effect existing saves? I don't care about starting over, I just don't want to keep turning my PS3 off incorrectly in order to restart it when it freezes.

Seems like the game won't freeze anymore in the schedule when trying to start or simulate a game or watch certain box scores. But unfortunately the decimal bug (game ticker) is still existent (e.g. Home runs: 1. Fielder 23.00)! Why? The decimal bug that has been existent since last year only affected ERA stats. The 1.06/1.16 patch made everything worse because now pretty much every other statistic that shouldn't have decimals now has them. That's not a patch - it's the opposite of that!

Yeah, I think that's all most of us are looking for is an official statement from SCEA about what we should do regarding Franchise play, and also CROSS-PLATFORM SAVES.

You see that feature advertised in stores, on TV on the Internet and for it to not be working is a damn shame. Aside from posting in the Vita patch thread, I've been pretty silent, hoping we'd get an answer from SCEA about what the future of the Vita holds. But yet here we are with ANOTHER PS3 patch and still NO NEWS about the Vita.

I'm now officially pissed.

Do you think it was physically possible for SCEA to test the patch to match every save that the end users of this game have saved on their HDD's? If your answer is yes......I've got no reason to even respond, because as much as I feel sorry that guys are having issues with in progress saves(of which I don't doubt one bit).....if you think they can test for every possible variation of our saves, you're being completely unreasonable. ....and.....even though it was said by SCEA that you would be able to continue........except for the guy who bought his first console and this is his first patched game.....to think that it was impossible to potentially have a problem with an in progress save is naive. Not excusing anything here, but let's get real. Patches are a crapshoot except in fresh starts. ...and you know it....and I know you know it. M.K. Knight165

You sir or correct. Now why don't other companies (EA) get this same "pass" and understanding about patches?

Redownloaded patch today to see if it would still freeze and it does. Doh!
