MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[Pappy Knuckles]

I just played my first game online since the patch and twice my base runners wouldn't move. It cost me 2 runs and the win. What the ****? How have they not fixed this game yet?

I really with they would have fixed the issue with CPU starting pitchers getting pulled in the 4 or 5 inning, regardless of pitch count, game situation, and slider settings.

I'm still happy with what they did fix. Especially the Mets 7 Line Army, of which I am a proud members of!

I know someone mentioned that the ticker displays are correct, but I'm seeing them wrong. Played a few games simming to June.

30 team control, quick counts...wrong stats displayed or odd text.

I still think The Show's bottom line is superb compared to other games I have played (that's why I still play it pretty much every day) but I sure have been quite disappointed by the lack of major progress in the directions where I think an authentic sports simulation game should be heading. And the issue of revenue stream is one reason why, even though I'm personally not invested in playing a mode like the current Diamond Dynasty, I would not blame the developers to make a microtransactional mode appealing to more people who would invest in them. So long as what the developers gain from it is somehow useful to subsidize the (other) efforts that pushes the frontier of sport simulation game (which is what I am interested in), I don't really care much where that subsidy comes from. Not in the game industry, I do not know how things work there so my speculation wouldn't be particularly useful, but I wonder if some ways other than a yearly packaged product can be successfully done for a game that goes through continual improvements (nonetheless might not optimally done in a short cycle like several months). There have been new, inventive ways of software development processes in the past couple decades or so, to the extent that what the gaming industry is following appears very outdated from that view point (at least to someone like myself, who often work in smaller software shops). But that's from someone who has not been on their side, so all this is just out of my curiosity as an outsider though.

I wouldn't mind paying a subscription on the show if they treated it like an mmo.

I am in May.....I have not seen that at all. I will report back once I am in June.

I got it in May as well. Are you using 30 team control and quick counts?

Any of all of those things can contribute. I've even seen text where stolenbaserbi is one word and it displays sb stats.

I have noticed this as well. I'm using 30 team control, NO quick counts, and I'm about 5 days from the trade deadline.

The stats weren't matching up with the category being shown like in your pics above.
Example : HR leaders being shown with batting avg listed instead of the number of HRs the player has hit.

Weird.

Just captured this while getting a game in this morning:
