I would hope that not to be the case as MLB 09 has only been out for what...60 days? That is not good business, IMO.

# 483 countryboy @ 04/28/09 06:36 PM

guys I can't upload the 1.01 patch as I don't know how. I thought I could copy the game data utility but it won't let me.

# 484 sinkdog @ 04/28/09 06:39 PM

I just want to start by saying that I went out and purchased a PS3 for this game. I was reading the impressions back in March and looking at the videos and I was completely floored by the realism in this game.

Don't get me wrong, this is the BEST videogame I've ever played. BUT how on earth could a simple thing like a lineup glitch, a 40-man roster/DL issue still exist in a game in 2009? I had Microleague Baseball in the mid-80's and back then, the lineups for each team were correct from game-to-game.

I could honestly care less about the stats glitch (I'm only playing 1 season) but simple things that are basic programming issues are inexcuseable in this day and age!!!

This game has players smiling at each other when they come to bat, realistic running motions (the best ever), managers arguing with the umpire about a close play at 2nd, but the computer can't figure out that pitchers shouldn't bat 2nd in the lineup???

How do I get around these issues? I'm using Knight's OSFM v2 rosters and I refused to download the patch due to all the problems. Should I stay away from the patch? Will that corrupt my roster file?

# 485 DodgerFanatic2K3 @ 04/28/09 06:39 PM

Anyone find a way to get the pitching rotations to stay how you set them with CPU roster control OFF ??

This is more frustrating then the line-up problem

I don't want to use CPU roster control ON because then I lose injuries

Really the only way is through ratings. For starting rotations it basically goes straight off overall rating. You can sacrifice in a few areas without losing too much IMO. For example, with Smoltz and the Red Sox, while I was testing, I reduced Stamina and Pitching Clutch mainly. He pitched as would be expected for a guy coming off of injury.

His is an easier one, however, since he's not projected to pitch a full year or anything, but that's the jist. Also You can fool with BB/9 and inidividual pitch control ratings as they play off eachother (Meaning you can reduce one or the other with limited hit to performance but a slight knock to overall rating).

It really depends on the pitcher. You have some wiggle room for almost every pitcher, but in a different category...lol. It's a bit of trial and error.

Hope that helps a tad.

LOL, if I were Russell I would respond to all this by saying:

"Quit busting my friggin aggets man, I'm trying to enjoy some oat soda."

I just played a game in my Franchise, it loaded to the schedule, and then crashed to the XMB. Gotta love these patches.

# 489 sdf4977 @ 04/28/09 07:06 PM

I dont know if somebody has already said this, but I just finished a game and when I got to replay vault the bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th are missing I cant veiw any of the replays. All the other innings are good

Maybe. If you've already started your franchise.

If you haven't, you'll be fine, except for the missing post game highlights.

# 491 ferriscj24 @ 04/28/09 07:14 PM

Has Russell or anyone else come back to face the music on this patch? To acknowledge they know it caused more problems than it fixed? And/or what they are doing to rectify it?

Considering what amazing communication we've had from the SCEA guys I bet there's a reason it's taken so much longer...they're probably frantically scrambling to see what happened, because A)they care more about their consumer and B) they're dead set on fixing whatever they can, and C) they take pride in their work, and these are major issues people are reporting.

or D) The heck with it, we're in too deep, lets work on MLB 10

No, I really doubt that. If D) is indeed the case they will probably find a way to un-patch it (if possible). If all these crashes are truly happening there's no way they'd let that stand. Ever. I don't believe that for a second.

I'm in the ER right now and I'm not sure if I'm going back to work after I leave here. So it doesn't look like I will be able to post the update today.

That's understandable with the angry mob all over you. In all seriousness, hope all is well.

# 499 Yanks1971 @ 04/28/09 07:46 PM

Hope everything is ok ..

# 500 ferriscj24 @ 04/28/09 07:51 PM

All complaints should be on hold at this point.

Whatever the reason is...I hope everything is alright. My thoughts are with you and your family...
