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.

Sorry, man...I was waiting too. I had a couple saved ones pre-patch that I was tinkering with for various tests, etc, but nothing post patch. I'd like to know the answer to your question too, though.

I was already at June when I installed the patch and the first game after the patch I got the flashbacks but not the post game highlights. The second game I got the flashback and post game highlights. But after that I was only getting the flashback highlights during the game but not post game highlights.

Alright, thanks. Appreciate the info. So Maybe flashbacks are ok and just the replays are screwed up until Patch 1 Lite.

If #2 is correct I guess I'm out of my online league as I don't want to lose the after game highlights, replays, OR start my franchise over again.

#1. Correct. My understanding is that pre-patch franchises played post-patch are at risk for those crashes, etc.

#2. My understanding is that if you start a post-patch franchise now, you should be good to go. You should also still be good to go for the replay fix when it's released without having to start over (again though, franchises started pre-patch are still at risk generally speaking, I believe).

I would like to know how this works as well. I would like the schedule fix but I do not want to start over my franchise, and from what I understood, the patch fixed that in ongoing franchises.

For those of you that have ongoing franchises, will you be downloading the patch with the fixes in it? I am leaning towards not as it sounds like I still might have to worry about it crashing down the road in addition to the replay issues.

Or am I misunderstanding this?

I just got brought up to the majors with my RTTS guy. I don't have 1.06 patch and I don't want it, but SC keeps wanting me to download it before logging in. So, how can I get new rosters WITHOUT DLing the pathc? Or is it even possible?

Help appreciated.

You have to load it via usb flash drive.

Yeah, you CAN NOT continue your online league if you don't have the up-to-date patch, it'll require the update if you try to sign into SC.

Has anyone else noticed the ticker not working right after the patch? All I ever get now is the teams playing and time of the game, but not updated scores.

Is the ticker on by default? I'm not sure I have seen the ticker.

# 976 Mike3207 @ 05/01/09 05:08 PM

Russell, will potential be one of the attributes that can be updated? I'm hoping it can be. Also, I currently have two RTTS games started before the patch. Would it be best to continue those games, or start fresh ones now that the patch has been released?

It started working on mine with the first patch in March, but then stopped showing scores after the second patch. I didn't have to do anything to turn it on, it just showed up.

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.

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.

Yes those should be grandfathered in

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?

Yes if you start over now you should be fine

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.

Just to clear this up I'm not here to sell you or market the game to you neither is anyone else from the development team that visits these boards.

I am not a part of the marketing team in any way shape form or fashion let me be clear about that. We are here to interact with the community and help bridge the gap between the development team and our consumer base so that we may put out the best product year in and year out.
