That's the point you seem to be missing. It has nothing to do with wanting answers. I really can't make it much simpler.

I screwed around with it for a while last night with my franchise started post patch 1.06, as well as a new franchise started post 1.16. I did not have any issues including using cross platform saves to the Vita. No funky records, no freezes, all the right teams standings wise making the playoffs.

I went through all the schedules and team pages, trying to make it freeze, and simmed through the end of the season multiple times on both the PS3 and the Vita.

I obviously can not say with 100% certainty you will be fine since my sample size is rather small, but I believe if you started your franchise post 1.06, you are in good shape.

I haven't done any testing at all with RTTS, so if you're an RTTS player, I don't have a handle on that situation at all.

I think someone above allluded to this and had no problems. I myself was about to start my franchise this morning when I saw the patch. I bypassed it then, until I could research it more.

As I stated above, I installed this new patch and it did fix my RTTS problems, and I am grateful for that.

Re your question...I went ahead and started my franchise just a little while ago, and though I plan to play all my games, I made a separate save of it, and simulated to a week past the all star game.

Checking standings, stats etc, I saw nothing unusual in W-L or anything in League Leaders and what not. It seems solid to me.

I saved it, exited completely and reloaded this franchise. Again all was fine, every team had 90-94 games, nothing blaring out in standings, or league leaders etc. All seemed very realistic.

My advice is save your franchise twice, and/or copy it to USB drive, BEFORE starting the franchise. Then if you do encounter problems, you can undo the patch and start the franchise again with the duplicated file.

Mind you, I did not have 1.06 installed, I removed it, so I don't fit your situation precisely I guess. But generally new patches duplicate the previous ones (and fix things that were wrong about them) so I think essentially we are at the same stage.

Hope that helps and makes some sense.

I don't think anyone has answered this for you, so I will attempt to.

On the PS3 main screen, ie where you are when you first power up and log in, go to same row where the icon to start The Show is, do not start it, but scroll up until you see "Game Data Utility". Select that, there you will find icons for games you have installed.

Find the The Show 2012 or whatever its called, select it, and there you will see an entry called "Additional Content". Highlight it, hit the triangle key and select delete.

This will remove the patch and put you back to release date. You will also start getting prompted each time you bring the game up to install the patch, you can bypass that by hitting the circle key, and it will move on. Or you can disconnect your ethernet cable if you wish.

Hope that helps, if I missed something, anyone else please chime in.



EDIT> Occurred to me, I have never purchased stadiums or any DLC which may be available, so do not know if you have bought some stadiums, if they would have a separate icon in this Game Data Utility or not.

So if you have purchased stuff (aside from RTTS training points, they are not included here) then make sure you don't delete them also! I know nothing about those stadia, as I have never purchased any. Just a word of caution. Perhaps someone else has knowledge regarding this and "Additional Content"

yes, makes sense, thank you. I am feeling better about DLing the patch and may try it tonight after the Bucco game.

thanks bkrich83 for your help too, I really appreciate the help from you guys.

I'm curious to know if there are people who started their franchises pretty much on day one (with only the release day update) who didn't download update 1.06, but DID download update 1.16, and are or are not experiencing freezes.

I started my franchise with my own custom rosters about a week after release date, and NEVER downloaded update 1.06 (because I read these boards before downloading). I'm wondering if I should just keep on keeping on without the patches (I don't play online) or should I risk downloading update 1.16 and hope there aren't any freezes.

I downloaded 1.16 Saturday morning. I previously had 1.06. I started my RttS pre-1.06 patch. It worked fine for the 1.06 patch. Default rosters that shipped with the game. I am post-All-Star Break, somewhere around last week of July or first week of August. I do not have a save from before the All-Star Break.

For some reason, I can't upload my saves, so here is a dropbox link:
