MLB 15 The Show Patch 1.02 Available Now, Details Included (PS3, PS4)

[PittPens1787]

No fix for the Sportscast Manager sim mode UI/overlay getting all messed up in franchise mode after the first time you use it There are 4 bug reports for it so I was hoping this would be fixed.

Gets annoying having to restart the whole game after every single day in franchise

Everyone, literally everyone, liked it better when it was "broken," and they should consider "breaking," it again for MLB 16 the Show.

Or, you could get better at hitting.

thanks for chiming in Russell, much appreciated.
what i can't get past is that you and your team added AWESOME new additions / kept cool existing scenes in between pitches / innings that contradict achieving a goal of having the game finish faster:

1. split screen pitcher/batter
2. dirtcam view
3. broken bat, getting a new one
4. ball boy returning to seat
5. pitcher taking off hat to wipe sweat / gather himself
6. showing emotion of pitcher questioning ball that should have been a strike (i.e. lifting hands like "are you kidding me")
7. home run replay from previous inning(s); hr/xtra base hit in between innings
8. mascot hyping up the crowd
9. show motion replay
etc.. could go on forever mentioning cool things

I'm loving all the stuff above, adding to the authenticity of the game. Not showing foul balls going into the stands more often like it used to, interrupting the throw back to the pitcher from the catcher, etc...seems to take a bit of the essence of baseball away. my biggest fear is that eventually too much baseball will get removed from the game in favor of finishing the game faster...that's why you added fast play, in game saves, usage of x button...it's not like you're forcing everyone to watch everything like some FPS, other genres.

love the game, love the SCEA team's accomplishments.
just my 2 cents.

Still no direct confirmation on whether a restart is necessary to get the benefit of improved trade logic, etc.

Can we get something on this one way or another?

Great point. That's the funny/ironic thing: I would rather see any or all of these removed, instead of the "basics" of batter walk-ups and throwing the ball back to the pitcher.


I found this kind of funny, so I had to edit the post: I am actually playing a game as I type, and saw the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher animation, literally, seven pitches in a row after typing my reply. That'll teach me!

I played a franchise game last night, Indians vs. Royals, close game, had to go the bullpen in the 6th inning even though I had the lead because the starter labored through 95 pitches in just 5 innings......ended up clinging to a 2 run victory.

I wasn't in a rush, so I let MOST (not all) of the animations play out between pitches. How long did the game take to play? 1 full hour. That is PLENTY long for a game, regardless of some foul ball animations being taken out, or an occasional batter walk up being left out. Guess what, watch a real game on TV and not every batter walk up is shown, and not every foul ball is shown.

I go on this discussion board almost daily, for game tips or other interesting game related info, and I love this game and all that the developers do for its fans.....

I just cannot believe the amount of whiners and complainers.....it is 100% ridiculous.

I really haven't seen any whining. Even those who express a desire to see certain cut-scenes back in the game, have taken time to say how generally great the game is, and how much they enjoy the overall experience.
