Well that will save me a lot of headaches. Thanks guys. All this time I have been trying to dive by pressing 12 different buttons while standing on my head. This will make it much easier.

As a person who modded MVP 05... (if you were into the modded version of MVP 05 on the PC you may remember me from MVPMods.com website) I have nothing to say but glowing things about MVP 05 on the P.C. ESPECIALLY because of the flexibility that allowed one to get into the guts of the game & almost become a programmer of the game. (not sure how much EA appreciated this)

However the MLB series on the PS3 is also a great game despite it's flaws. There is a tremendous fun factor in this game. Personally I don't play franchise or Road to the show. But I do play a 2 player season against a friend (he comes over to my house where we play on my PS3) & we both have derived hours of enjoyment from this game.

In conclusion, both are great games but MLB series is current whilst MVP is past. I still have MVP on my computer but the truth is I have not played it in a while because of my enjoyment of the MLB series.

That's all good,but why are you posting this stuff here? What kind of responses are you looking for? The last thing this thread needs is a MVP vs The Show debate.

Use this thread for Discussion of MLB 09 and it's Patch only. No need to bring up MVP 05.

Final Warning!

Is any one having this issue the game since the patch has come out?

It will freeze and go straight back to the home screen some times and i am having more trouble with the replays then i ever was, it will allow me to take a quick video then save error save or something like that and then i cant take a photo or any thing like that all game. It sometimes then icks me outta the game.

Any one else?

Nope! Nobody on this thread having any problems....

# 727 GamingJones @ 04/29/09 11:23 PM

Ok, I have been away for a minute.

I have a franchise a started a few weeks ago, which is about ten games in.

Since I haven't played in awhile, I have NOT updated to the second patch.

What is the downside to me not downloading the latest patch and just continuing my franchise?

Sorry, didn't mean to be a smart **s....but you only needed to read a couple of pages to see that is the problem everybody is having.
Hopefully, a cure will be forthcoming.

No worse....seems to be exactly the same issues everybody else is dealing with.

All are just hangin' around waiting for SCEA to decide what to do about it, if anything. They claim they know what has caused the problem.

I don't think you will have the crashing problem with a franchise started postpatch, but some are still having the highlights problem.
I haven't started a new season or franchise, yet. Just playing on exhibition...I have highlights during the game, but postgame highlights just feature a swinging bat...no players.
I don't sweat things I can't control, so I am patiently waiting. If SCEA decides not to come out with another patch, I will start a season and find a way to work around the problems.
It's still an awesome, fun game.

Delete the patch and use the space bar when you post about it. You'll be happy and we'll be happy.

# 738 callmetaternuts @ 04/30/09 09:06 AM

AH, i see we're going back down this road again.

I havent even had a chance to play a game since the patch. Once i heard the roster control was all wonked up, i've been editing rosters since. Hopefully Russell drops some knowledge on us today.

# 739 Terrahawk @ 04/30/09 09:28 AM

The patch was supposed to fix the game trapping you in replay mode but since the patch I've only tried to save a replay twice (I've been burnt too many times and 'afraid' to bother with replays because of it) and it doesn't seem like it's been solved. I say seem because one of the indicators I used to get sometimes that the game would lock me in replay mode was when clicking the left stick in it would immediately pop up with a 'movie saved' message. I just hit my first HR at the Twins ballpark, one which I always wanted a HR at, and had that exact scenario when trying to save the replay.

If I tried to save the replay again it would definitely trap me in there, the only saving grace with that particular error is if you press start you can exit the replay mode, sometimes you don't get that and it just freezes in replay mode first time round.

# 740 bizarro @ 04/30/09 09:36 AM

Just to relate my personal experience, I have a franchise going, Mid-April... the first game after installing the patch I saw the no post-game highlights, no players in the vault replays problem. In my next game (after powering down the system) those presentation elements had returned to normal.
