Being out there first hand, I know they work their butts off. I also have seen how game development works. It is very amazing. Different devs and programmers are working on different parts of the game concurrently. Sometimes a change that one dev makes on an area of the game, that they are working on, affects the game in another area. A butterfly effect where a small ripple in the code someplace can cause huge headaches somewhere else. With that being said I am sure they will look into modifying it. Does that mean it will be perfect this year? Probably not, but like I said they have to be careful because a small change to tighten the budgets up could cause a BIG issue somewhere else.

I figured after games were completed that they were tested. I do know that they probably do some testing thru different builds as well, but I dont really know anything about making a game so I cant say for sure.

It just seems nowadays that franchise modes in all sports get overlooked to a certain degree. Maybe the final build dont get tested, but I would think it would, and you would think that sims would be ran to check budgets, stats, etc.

I know its a very complicated process and I know the devs work extremely hard, especially the MLBTS devs. Im also sure no matter how good someome goes thru testing it is easy to miss some things. However if franchise modes were tested at final build you would think that the budget would be 1 of the 1st things checked. I always figured game testers for the most part were like those telemarketers, and some probably did not have a lot of knowledge of sports, although Im sure there are atelast some that are very good and knowledgeable. I very well could be wrong and it is actually top qualified people doing testing. So if it is then I hope I didnt offend anyone.

tabarnes you said this about 14

I'm not seeing the bidding wars and higher contract values for free agents that was incorporated last year. Last year free agent salaries adjusted based on team need and quality of position. I see in every sim the players sign with different or same teams for the same salary.

has it changed?

also could you give me an example of it in 13?

Please Help!! I spent all of this money for this years version of MLB the show for the PS3. I bought a new ps 3, the game and also a mobile hotspot from straight talk for downloading rosters and updates. However the 1.11 update will not download for me. It always gets to 20% or 25% then an error message occurs I have the space on my ps3 and from the hot spot. I am currently living at a place with bad internet connection. So I would like to find out if the latest patch can be stored to a usb flash drive? I have a flash drive which I have used to download rosters to. Is there an offline file of this update or what can I do. I know this shows as my first post but I have been a member of this fine community in the past. I just had to re-open an account since I have a new email addy. Please, couild some one just help me with any suggestions or ideas? I am open to anything, because I can't even get the latest roster updates without the version 1.11 update first!!
Thanks in advance for anyone whom replies!!

I work in the cell phone industry, but it's in accessories (I own an accessories store meaning I see a lot of phones), so bare with me.

I believe Straight Talk has two things going against you:

1. 3G speeds. Very slow and very unreliable.

2. They say "unlimited," but after 2.5 GB, it's pretty useless as they throttle your speed.

First, make sure that your phone isn't going to "sleep" due to inactivity. This may be why it stops abruptly. Try turning off or at least delaying sleep mode (or make sure touch your screen to keep it awake often).

Second, try it again if it's your only option after your billing cycle resets.

Lastly, and ideally, see if you can either use a friends phone with 4G or (ideally) take the console to a dedicated connection at a friend's house instead.

Also, be sure the console and phone are near each other and that your service bars are as full as possible for as long as possible.

Outside of that, there's nothing you can do. These updates are not available in the traditional file sense where you can transfer them to a USB.

The patch is not working during auto baserunning. Two times in the same game I was thrown out when I was not trying to run by the same player. The first time the computer sent three pickoffs to first base although I was not trying to run. One time I pressed the R2 button like I would do in last year's game successfully, but the runner (Pedroia) got thrown out stealing with Ortiz on deck. It is extreme frustrating. This is an issue that is deciding game, and I was wondering if the next patch can address it so that auto baserunning does not include steals, because the runner is unrealistically running. Never would Pedroia have run with Ortiz on deck on real life even if he believed he could make it. In fact, I would have never sent him. I wish there was a way I could stop him from going, without having to control all the baserunners in manual baserunning.

I tought you can override it, by hitting R1 to overide them stealing, but maybe thats wrong. I dont mind my guys stealing on their own.
