MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

02:05 PM - April 7, 2009 by Russell_SCEA

PS3 Only

On behalf of the entire MLB The Show development team we would like to take this time to first thank everyone for playing MLB 09 and being so patient with us as we work through some of the issues the community has experienced. We are very aware of these problems and we would like to announce that we are indeed working on a patch to fix the most glaring offline and online bugs and glitches you have encountered in this years game. When the patch is ready for deployment we will give an update with the contents of the patch. In meantime, we have found a work around for one of the most glaring bugs, the Road to the Show crash. If you skip all training sessions (batting and base running) during the month of September you should be fine. We know this is not ideal, however until the patch is ready for public release this will allow you to continue playing your RTTS save files (if the save file is before entering a training session). We take these issues and concerns very seriously and we do apologize for the inconvenience. Once again, thank you for your time and your patience. We will update the community as soon as the patch release date is set.

Here's what I'm doing right now to pass the time with this game. I have started a franchise, getting my hitting, pitching and fielding down pat, and tweaking my sliders. That way I will be all set when the patch comes along. I play with CPU roster control ON, but I have not been making all the minor transactions daily yet (I will do that with my real franchise). I will then restart anyway.

At least I am playing games that "matter" (for win/losses, playing against other guys other than the aces on a staff, seeing if my batting avg., ERA is working out with my level and sliders, etc.).

If you haven't settled on some of the aforementioned, it is highly recommended to play a test franchise. Exhibition games are easier in my opinion even though you often times will face the ace. The CPU seems to bring more of its A game in franchise/season mode in my opinion.

But, I feel your pain, brotha, I really can't wait to start my real franchise. I still need to wait for Knight's rosters with stock SCEA players attributes (no fix for lineups) (and hopefully pitches) or the one Knight does where he rates players himself.

Of course they are. Those are two former theperfectgame.net forum posters. We grow lots of respected posters there and branch them out to different message boards.

Hail to the TPG!

Ditto here, except...

What if the patch comes in, but the historical stat glitch isn't fixed?

# 266 DR Russell @ 04/22/09 02:54 AM

for those waiting to start a franchise due to the lineup or historical stats glitch, I can upload my rosters into the roster vault that solves that issue. All the FA moves won't have been made(Pudge not on Astros) and Sheff is still a Tiger, but you can do these moves manually before starting your season.

Any gameplay fixes, shouldn't cause you to have to re-start a franchise.

Can someone explain to me the historical stat glitch I hear about?

a few of the roster updates caused an issue with historical stats to where players' historical stats were swapped. A-Rod and someone else's stats were swapped making A-Rod have less than 500(not sure the exact number) and Pujols' RBI stats were flawed, and I'm sure there were more.

The rosters I have don't have this issue nor the lineup glitch, so if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll throw them on the roster vault.

Kolbe commented on the patch earlier today. There's not much in the way of new info, but it's nice to get word from one of the developers none the less. I saw this in the comments section of his latest blog on his Arena page (Link: http://tinyurl.com/dg7gey Comment # 2). Here's what he said...

KolbeSCEA @ Apr 22 (3 Hours Ago)
The patch is in test as we speak - not sure of its actual status (aka which part of the test phase it's currently in).

So is this why when I hit a Home Run in my Tiger Franchise with Guillen - Second game of the franchise, but 1st HR hit by a Tiger - The announcers started screaming "And there goes Number 500!". I was sitting there thinking why do they think Guillen is Gary Sheffield?

Also where to I go to see complete career numbers for my players? I wasn't able to look last night, but when I was in my franchise, all the Tigers showed 2008 and 2009 stats only on the back of their cards. Are the career stats hidden somewhere?

the career stats are on the very bottom of the card. The year by year stats only go back to 2008, but the totals at the bottom are the player's career stats.

its the 3/7 update, with roster movements(Nomar to the A's..etc..), and some of Knights adjustments to get rid of the lineup glitch.

Yeah, thanks for the update. Too bad it sounds like by the time this patch is released it will be time to start playing NCAA Football 2010.

We all have ideas as to what will be addressed in this patch, generally I think most beleive there will be some minor "tweaks". Is it possible the patch is taking some time because this will be a more extensive patch then we are expecting?

The history of SCEA has been to exceed our expectations. If this was EA Sports I wouldn't have much hope, but...
