	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.

Russell, thanks for the update. Let me be the first to pose this question. If we start a franchise now (or have one started already) that is NOT giving us replays or flashbacks, is it safe to continue? I assume that this mini patch (or patch 1 lite) will work with existing franchises, correct?

Thanks again, just wanna know if we are safe to go.

Just PM'd Russell about this (I was afraid it would get lost in the bickering...lol) He responded with quickness (thanks again Russ

) and said I should be good to go as it's only addressing the replay bug.

Nice..thanks SoxFan. Being a Yankees fan, I never thought i'd be thanking a Sox fan but I just did.

Gonna keep on chugging along with my franchise then.

Thanks Sox (and Russell). I re-did all my rosters off Knights set (thanks again Knight!) and started the franchise, got all the marketing, scouting and such set up and was hoping to start today or tomorrow.

So if/when i start this weekend, i may be missing some replays/flashbacks, but when Patch 1 Lite is released, all of those should come back. And the crashing shouldnt be an issue as its a new franchise. Is taht right?

Also, are people, anyone, seeing flashbacks at all now? If you hit a jack in the 2nd inning, do they flash back to it the next at bat, or does it skip it?

# 945 callmetaternuts @ 05/01/09 04:37 PM

Any guesses as to what Russells "other info" is? I dont even know where to begin

I've played 3 games since the patch...have had replays and highlights (and a working roster vault) in all of them...and haven't had a crash yet. I'm actually playing through the ST games though...and I'm about 22 games in. I'm creating a new save after every game though, haha, because I feel like I'm playing Jenga with my franchise, and the next block I pull out will bring the whole thing down. Has anybody come out of this thing alive?

Sounded like most people narrowed it down to an "extra" game being added to the schedule in April or May. As you tried to get past that game, it was having trouble handling the extra game for some teams, but not others.

Who can even make sense of these 1,000+ posts, many of them speculation, a lot of misinformation, etc. You're right Russell is a "big boy" and he's doing what he can, but you want them to get in the fray here, lol. This is one big peeing contest. There have been a ton of accusations thrown around, haven't there? Flat out, the devs have to be able to recreate what is causing the problem. That's been said before, but doesn't appear to be enough for some people.

I don't think I'm being overly dramatic but I do agree that there really isn't a need for this thread anymore. It should be locked and a new thread for Russell to post just updates would be nice.

# 948 Russell_SCEA @ 05/01/09 04:41 PM

This has nothing to do with the patch, but its good news something I thought everyone would like to know.

Starting next Monday once a month our roster updates will be released with attribute/ratings updates and changes based on player performance for that month.

Correct (from what I was told). The crashing/freezing, etc are issues with older files. If you are starting a post-patch franchise you should be safe.

Big news for me...Guess what I'm starting tonight!

Awesome, so kind of like living rosters. As the Rays start to heat up, they will see some ratings bumps. Good stuff, me likes (though i wont be using them)

Not trying to be a jerk but I do a good job of it at times.

I just think we're all frustrated. Have a good weekend guys.

# 955 callmetaternuts @ 05/01/09 04:47 PM

Sox, CB, jim, anyone who has started a franchise or played any games. Are you seeing flashbacks at all now? I know the end of game replays are hit or miss........just want to know waht to expect.

And I suppose i'll ask Russell this too........the fix that is coming sometime next week. It ONLY addresses end of game replays (i assume that doesnt count flashbacks)

/obsession with flashbacks.............when i get an answer.

# 956 ferriscj24 @ 05/01/09 04:53 PM

Wonderful news Russell! Thanks alot! Here will be my gameplan...

1) Delete EVERYTHING "The Show" related from HDD
2) Re-install "The Show" and download the patch
3) Wait for Knight to finish up v.4 and v.5 rosters

Then we should be good to go to start a franchise, eh? Once the "mini update" comes out, it will not affect our franchises? That's what I'm gathering from you, eh, Soxfan?

Man that would be great. This game but fixed. I would plop my 60.00 down in a heartbeat if they came on and said, "hey guys, we updated the rosters and fixed all the bugs from '09 and called it '10". LOL.

Tater..I never downloaded the patch. I wasn't sure how it would work with existing franchises, plus there really wasn't anything in there that I felt was completely necessary. Add that to the fact of all the issues that surrounded it and I decided to pass.

My thought was, I've played nearly the entire season with the game out of the box, I've adapted to it, faults and all, I can continue to play it this way and get full enjoyment from it.

A 800 series erroe appeared saying error during start up operation! My Ps3/The show was new until all this patch stuff happen. Assuming my Ps3 is now broken, but im not giving up hope. I cant afford a new one and probably not even a repair also! I tried restoring to default Ps3 settings and that didnt work! My last option was to Restore hard drive! Thats what i did b4 i went to bed. Now Im going to see if restoring hard drive fixed my Ps3 which messed up on me since PATCH 1.06!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope it works

That error message is a PS3 issue...that patch has nothing to do with it (an unfortunate coincidence, I'm afraid). Restoring the HD might work, but my understanding is that your timer (on the lifespan of your PS3) basically starts once you get that error.

Sorry for your situation though.

BTW, if your PS3 is brand new, then it should still fall under warranty, I would think. So you may have hope (in terms of affordibilty of repair)

Yep they could have my money today. We don't need new gimmicks, we just need everything thats in tere to work 100%.

Anyway, thanks for the updates. I'll keep patch 1.06 and start the tigers franchise tonight. And get replays back next week.
