Well this is just ****ing great.

Here's my deal:

I started up the game a few hours ago, was prompted to download the patch and did so without hesitation. I currently have a Blue Jays franchise that is in the middle of July (July 18th, 2012). It was started before this and the last patch were released and is using the OSFM spring training rosters. With the last patch I had a freeze at the opening screen where it shows the CN Tower by Rogers Centre and a freeze when viewing the box score of a game against the A's. Other than that, no freezing issues.

Now after downloading this patch I played the third game in a series against the Yankees. There was some lag during camera cuts to the pitcher but other than that the game went fine. I finish it and go to sim to the next day and the game freezes. Now I'm stuck at that point in my franchise -- and BTW I wasn't logged into PSN. I tried to go a few days ahead and sim to that point but it still freezes right when it's attempting to advance the schedule to July 19th.

I have no idea what to do from here. I'm assuming I can delete the patch and try that. That would be the file in the Game Data Utility folder, right?

Other than that, I guess I'm stuck sitting here crossing my fingers that all of the games I played and time I invested into this franchise isn't flushed down the toilet, because that would really piss me off. I was very into my franchise, was doing much better than expected, and was having a great time. I don't want to lose that. I'll get over it eventually if I have to restart but again, that's really going to suck.

Hopefully SCEA lets us know what the deal is today.

it almost seems like alot of people are bragging about not freezing. do u think we are all making it up to hate on the game? i think its pretty much confirmed anyone playing rtts that happened to be post all star break when they got the patch are left with a broken game. do we need anymore confirmations about people who werent in that situation? its a real problem. count yourself lucky if the game works. mine, does NOT

I went on and dl'd the patch and have had no problems, in fact, I think the game plays better now. Not seeing the hard hit balls every at bat, not seeing the pitcher comeback smashes, not seeing the hits to the wall and still getting thrown out at second base. I'm happy with this patch.

You do realize it helps the process when people confirm they're not experiencing freezes under whatever situation they're in, right? People aren't trying to "brag", they're trying to help.

Just deleted the patch data, tried to sim past the same date, and froze again. Started it up again and tried to advance by going into the Today's Games screen but still no luck. I also went into the lineup and manage roster screens, toggled through every lineup and all levels of my organization and had no freezes there, so it's only freezing when it's trying to advance to the next day.

So I guess I can pretty stick a knife in my franchise, which is just awesome.....

Wow, that is just brutal. I feel for you much more than I feel for myself lol. My frustration would be multiplied x1000 if I had played THAT many games.

For your sake and the rest of us that are getting these frustrating freezes, here's hoping we can be saved. I'm not going to delete my file until I hear what the word is from them but in the meantime it looks like I'm restarting.
