MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

03:05 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.

I'll either post in the roster vault or I'll post them here, when I get home tonight.

If it is at all possible, can you either post both or just the roster vault? Seems like it would be that much easier for more people to have the ability to download it directly to the game.

If you can't, don't have time, or just plain don't want to then I will curse UL basketball for the next 50 years.

Don't you do that anyway, lol

. UK will definitely be back. They have a great coach now.

Well last night I finally set my internet connection for my PS3. I had no clue what I was missing but wow. I have been playing all this time without it and I log on and see the roster updates and everything already set up. You guys have put in a lot of hard work I see, incredible.

Now I want to start my season over and wait for the patch before I start my season.

I wonder when the patch will come out, it's been 3 weeks since this thread was started.

I agree this is ridiculous to wait this long. at least they could update us once a week, besides we are working on it !!

they could tell us what they are "working" on, and a guess at a release date. I dont see how asking that much is so difficult.

I also think they should release the game next year on opening day, instead of rushing the release and having a game you can't start a franchise with until May. I know Sony has a lot to do with that, but just a suggestion.

and thanks to all the people who help make the rosters !!
great work !

this won't make a difference in the long run. Say next year they release it on opening day...so they have 13 months right. For mlb 2011 do you want them to release a month into the season and keep the 13 month dev time?

It doesn't matter if they release it in march or april...they wills till have only 12 months of time.

Umm that would be Sheffield and he no longer plays in Detroit. But other than that I would need to test the game alot more to find problems. I found game killers for 2k and Ncaa football within minutes.

You need to play the RTTS and see some of the issues like the fielding, base running, stats not being credited to the player, and the biggest when you make the majors the game crash's.

# 289 JohnnyRu31 @ 04/22/09 08:11 PM

Are some ov you really not starting your franchise because of the histirical stat glitch? Is it that big of a deal? It's not like they make a big hub bub when you reach a milestone. Its just a quick recognition ( sometimes ). For example, I recently broke Joe Dimaggio's hit streak and not a word was said. I broke it with an RBI double in the fourth. They just commented on my hit. They only seem to recognize hit streaks and such when it's a single. I say start your franchise if you plan on playing all 162. I start usually as soon as possible but always fall short. Usually when the summer games come out. ( Ufc, ncaa,fight night,etc this year ). Also I know its too late but I wish they would patch in a better celebration when you win the world series. Skipped ahead to check it out and it is very lackluster to say the least. Not as rewarding as it should be. Technically you're "beating" the game. The celebration should be rewarding. I would love to sit back and watch a sick long celebration.

I agree the historical glitch isnt that big a deal, unless you are playing with Arod on your team I guess. my biggest thing is the line up switch. I understand it is just a game, but I do like to have the most realistic line ups. and since I will play with the Cubs I would like to see thier schedule reflect the correct number of day games.

no problem with the game really makes it unplayable, since I dont play online. I just dont understand how things that have been good in the past are screwed up this year ??

it is the best baseball game there is but there is always room for improvement. some people just like the little things fixed before they start a franchise. I will not wait until May, so hopefully it will be released soon.

# 291 tabarnes19_SDS @ 04/22/09 08:27 PM

stats are big if you play multiple seasons...sim...because it affects hall of fame and certain milestones. Each of us have something different that draws us to this game.

I am a baseball stat nut and it is imperative for me to have accurate stats. Makes it feel more real.

Last year there was too many sim stolen bases and everyone was in arms...but again they were "just stats."

# 292 Jayhova @ 04/22/09 10:00 PM

I have a feeling the patch will drop by Friday. think postive...... if you build it, it will come

# 293 findinghomer @ 04/22/09 10:03 PM

so, the stats glitch, does it affect a TON of players or only a select few? i know aroid, but maybe that was on purpose

# 294 countryboy @ 04/22/09 11:33 PM

sorry guys, I was out all night. Rosters are uploaded on roster vault.(CB Roster) Can't upload here right now, as a friend of mine has my flashdrive.

Hope it helps someone out. Enjoy

Will this patch fix the Atlanta Braves road uniforms you think? That's the one thing that bothers me more than anything. I know it seems silly but the hats don't match the alternate jersey. When they wear their road blues they also wear the navy blue hats. They don't wear the the hat with the tomahawk running trough the A.

I'd really like to see this fixed if at all possible, the historical aspect of it doesn't mean a lot to me. And although I would like to see the schedule fixed it's not as big of a deal since I rarely ever play the Cubs anyway.

The lineup glitch is a problem though but haven't some players found away around that anyway? I know when I was fooling around on Sports Connect this afternoon I saw one player have the lineup glitch as a part of his roster download. I even played the Rockies to make sure and sure enough Todd Helton was batting 3rd.

# 296 Blzer @ 04/23/09 12:13 AM

I almost forgot, I hope it addresses framerate issues in some stadiums (namely Yankee Stadium and Dolphin Stadium).

The only way around the lineup glitch is to edit players attributes. Then down the road, you have problems with the lineups anyway. It is not ideal.

If your only problem is the Braves unis, then you are a lucky dude.
No, I don't think they are going to devote any time to fixing unis due to the other issues taking precedent, unless you want the patch released in late May or early June. Sorry about the unis, but I think you will have to live with it, but you never know.

It's actually a lot of guys after I looked around. B. Wagner, Pujols, the list goes on and on and varies from roster to roster and when you loaded them.

Yea, now that you put it that way, it is a big deal. Stats are king in baseball.
I was playing a stock SCEA rosters franchise, and after a few games, for some reason a lot of career stats got messed up even though it was fine in the beginning. I wouldn't have noticed it except in the paper, there was a headline about C. Villanueva of the Brewers breaking the career saves mark or something like that. I checked and he had 550+ saves all of a sudden. Don't know what happened there.

Yea. Heck the best celebration in sports gaming history is still probably Tecmo Super bowl on the Nintendo. That's been a long time folks. You would think they would be dumping champagne, kissing female reporters, riding a horse around Yankees stadium, and everything by now
