Line ups are part of thr realism of the game. If they are going to call it the most realistic experience then I should not have to use modified rosters to get a feature to work. Line ups are part of the realism of mlb baseball and so is dh stamina. So is 60 day dl issue...those are all part of baseball. I don't want to use modied rosters. I want to use the rosters that came with the game. Those should be the ones with no issues and I should not have to buy a second controller to get the line ups to work like they did last yea So don't tell me to play something else. Don't tell me to use modied rosters to get over the issues. I don't tell you to hate the game or love the game I am not insulting scea or being unreseonable with my dissapointment. Stop trying to tell people that we are making to much of a deal just cuz u feel that way...

I can relate to some of what you are saying, but until they fix this situation, you will just have to make do like I did by using my CPU roster control on workaround for sim games and using the second controller workaround for played games. If not you are out of luck until/if they fix it.

We are stuck having to do that unless/until they fix the game. They know about the issues and the ball is in their court now. Like the old cliche goes, when life gives you lemons you have to make lemonade . That is the philosophy I take in life, and I am happier since I do so most of the time.

I am by no means trying to belittle some of your comments. I am a roster control guy myself, and I don't like to have to do all this work, especially since I don't have a lot of time to play in the evenings anymore. I end up staying up way to late, lol. I agree with you on DH stamina and the DL "issue". Hopefully they fix those for next year at least.

it would be nice for them to tell all of these people that are having freezes a little quicker though. Think about the people out there that never go to boards and read about the patches. There are thousands of people that don't know what is going on with their game and their PS3.

I'm sure they are trying to fix the problems and then decide whether they are going to patch the game or not. I was just expecting something a little sooner.

It looks like no online play and no updated rosters for me until this is resolved because I'm not d/ling the patch.

# 924 callmetaternuts @ 05/01/09 04:07 PM

I dont think the lineups are screwed up for the most part. Are they EXACTLY like real life? Not always, but who wouldve thought that some teams would bat their pitcher in the 8 spot (Cardinals i think)?

They based it ratings so when people like AROD got hurt they didnt bat Ransom in his spot, but went in and adjusted the lineup to best fit attributes.

exactly and I wish they would not have. It was all the complaining people that caused the problem. The fixed it and it broke something else. Sometimes things just need to be left alone.

I was implying that most people would rather be told something concrete rather than SCEA come on here and say "we think we know how to fix it" or "we might be able to do this/that" which is what Russell said when he talked about dealing in only absolutes.

Look, I'm confident, given how they've been in the past, that as soon as they have something concrete, they'll relay the information. Until then, people will have to just make do. Either play the game as is or find something else to occupy their time.

Here we go again...........off track. Hooray

I would assume its ok to go ahead and start a franchise. You may not get all the highlights/flashbacks, but my guess is IF/WHEN they fix the issue, it will fix existing franchises also. By holding off, you may be waiting for something that doesnt happen.

I can deal with the occassional game with no replays. Do i want it that way? Hell no, I want all the bells and whistles, but i can deal with minimal replays and hope that when SCEA fixes it, its retroactive.

It also makes it that much harder when threads get off track or cluttered with pointless posts. Trust me if it gets posted I see it if there is a problem its taken to the part of the team that can do something about it. I only deal in absolutes the last thing I want to do is say we are going to do something and then we don't for what ever reason.

Which is exactly why this thread should be locked up and left for your updates only.

I hear you. Im already at June 5th in my Yankees Franchise and installed the patch (1.06). Im not getting the post game highlights all the time but I did sim my season to see if I would get any freezing and I didn't. I hope that is a good sign that I will be ok for the rest of my franchise. I plan on continuing to chug along with my franchise and hope that SCEA can fix the issues brought on by the most recent patch.

It's not a crime to...GASP....disagree with someone from SCEA.

Not it isn't.

But you aren't disagreeing with SCEA you want them to be on the boards 24/7 with instant responses.

He isn't paid to monitor thses boards at all. I think people are really confused why they come here.

I'll be the first to admit, i want realism, i want all the highlights, bells, whistles, flashabcks etc (are flashbacks working yet?), but if the game play still works, thats what i care about. I tend to "X" through the highlights sometimes too, especially if I get spanked. It absolutely sucks that they arent there, but i can make do with that issue as opposed to having something wonky go on with relievers, or everytime you hit a double your batter moves to 3rd or soemthing weird.

	Next week sometime we are planning to release a mini patch to fix the replay issues that were caused by patch number 2. There won't be any other fixes and changes made to the game in this update. We greatly appreciated everyone's patience and help in identifying the bugs and glitches in the game that we were able to fix. We will continue to monitor any issues the community may have, so please continue to provide your constructive feedback. As always, thanks for your loyalty and enjoy MLB 09 The Show.

MLB The Show Dev Team

P.S. I have another update that I will be posting sometime today (hopefully) this one has nothing to do with the game though.

Co-sign. Does it really matter what the community posts? The only thing of relevance is what SCEA tells us at this point.

We have a bug/glitch thread to post our problems.

There should be just 1 rant/rave thread to discuss your pleasure/displeasurewith the game or developers. They can choose to read or not read that, but we should just have 1 thread only posted in by developers.

So true my friend. I do the same when im getting spanked. It hurts to watch the replays when I get my a$$ handed to me.

Thought I was the only one

Jim, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave if you continue to use common sense. Consider that a warning.

I always think there should be a patch discussion thread, and then a SCEA (or EA or whoever) update thread that is locked and only they can post in there. So that way we can track what they say and any updates. Or maybe thats counter productive.

I dont know anymore, after however many pages, we are still re-hashing the same items

If he doesn't know the answer...fine, say so, or say that things are being discussed and SCEA will know on or around so-and-so date. Instead we get cryptic answers which I think is a bit weak, IMO.

Confidentiallity, integrity etc. He gives us info as it comes without putting his *** on the line.....in todays economy you can't blame anyone that wants to stay employed can you?

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the first post. He was polite and has the right to ask for answers. If that bothers Russell than oh well. Some of you guys are so uptight that the slightest criticism will inflame the developer that its just too much imo. We shouldn't have to filter our comments on a message board or in certain forums just because a developer shows up.

You are right though Ruffy. Russell and the rest of the dev team don't have to be here. They chose to be here. They chose to come before the game released, interact heavily and provide a lot of great info to advertise for the game. It's a give and take. If they want to come here and market the game and accept the praise that most people give the series, then they have to also accept the negatives and answer the hard questions. I have a big problem when any develop comes on a message board, posts like crazy to promote a product and then pleads the 5th amendment when asked a tough question. I'm not even saying Russell is pleading the 5th but some of you guys are trying to do it for him. Russell's a big boy and many want to hear what he has to say. If they voice frustration over a delay in getting info that's fine. This is a forum to do just that.

Edit: And now Russell has responded. And people are thankful.
