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

[JahCreations]

Here's a fix for those who are having the crazy # of loses and those teams make wild card in playoffs even though with all the loses they finish last. ( not an ideal fix, but I'll take it).

So in my chise (knights opening day rosters, 30 team control) the year is 2014, sept 1. Braves and a's were in 2nd and 3rd in their division, after update they both had an extra like 70 loses or so and no matter what stay in last and get wild card anyway, even though their wins still aren't better than actual wild card teams.

What I did was deleted the update. Load my franchise again, and everythings normal, minus all 1st and 2nd update fixes. Anyway I simmed to the playoffs since I only had a month left, saved with correct wild card teams and standings /wins -losses records and then saved a new file.

I re downloaded the update, started my new chise save in the playoffs and everything is now how its suppose to be + updates fixes.

So if your willing to do this it works and will let you continue your franchise with update, but I can see why this won't cut It for a lot of users on here that don't like randomness or simming.

But again this will fix the issue for those who are post allstar break with the crazy losses records, if they are willing to take the sacrifice.. or just wait it out til scea responds with a new update or answer. Hope this helps some and for others I feel your pain.

Yeah, this patch pretty much sucks. I have 7 RTTS players going on and I bought 20$ worth of RTTS points between 2 of them and EVERY LAST ONE is screwed up.

I should have been more clear. That's exactly what I meant. That's not an SCEA decision, it's a PSN decision. It'd be nice though if we could install and uninstall patches as we see fit instead of the all or nothing deal we have now.

I am so freaked out about having issues after already investing hundreds of hours since March 6 that, even though I haven't had any problems so far, I'm not taking anybody's word for anything on patches. I had DL'd 1.06 before coming here and reading the horror stories. I've been lucky so far. But I'm passing on 1.16. Sad place to be. There's a morality lesson in here somewhere about being good to go out of the box (which The Show has been for the most part in the past). The industry has to get away from the "hell, we'll just patch it later" attitude regarding new releases. I'm not talking about the patching option itself (I think we are all thankful it is there with this gen), I'm talking about using it as a crutch as part of the game plan ahead of time. If this can happen to Sony SD, ordinarily one of the best, it can happen anywhere.

Great post, Scribe.

How long did it take before users here started noticing problems? While they can't test every variable, it's hard for me to believe that they tested enough variables to conclude the patch was good to go.

If they tested the patch on a career-mode file started before 1.06, for example, I think they would have found problems - based on feedback we've seen here.

Well, so far, with my franchise that was started post 1.60, I'm fine.

I gotta be honest, I pushed harder than anyone to get the correct start times in the games for my Cubbies, but sheesh... I feel sort of bad now lol.

Are online games still laggy?

[TGov]

Was wondering if anyone one who had a franchise since the release of Knights Spring roster(before the 2nd update) release has had any freezing or other problems with this patch...

I had a problem with the 2nd update but deleted and reloaded it and now its fine, Ive spent so much time and effort in my franchise, especially with edits, would hate to lose it... maybe Ill just keep bypassing this update...

Any way to stay online without having the patch update keeping popping up???
