Thanks Russell! I'm glad things got ironed out.

I wish the DL issue would have been fixed, but I can deal with it and there's really nothing else that bothers me. I will just play with injuries off. Looking forward to getting my franchise going!

Just download them from here at O.S. and put them on a USB drive. I posted some stock SCEA 4/27 rosters except I added the AAA Iowa Cubs to it.

Im about to call Sony, but i know there jus going to tell me to send it in. Hopefully theyll just replace, but first im reformatting 2nd time and mayb tryen different game first like Killzone and if that works i figure its a Patch 1.06 issue thats clogging my HDD with bug thats making my system appear broken when in reality this only came to surface after drowning of that patch in my system! 411 guys. Im probably the last one left with no Show. Im stuck in middle of ocean here! This sucks

You do not have to reformat your hard drive after installing the patch .

What I would do is get your system up and running install a game other then the show to see if it your system that is having the problem . Now that you have reformated I'm sure you lost the saved data from MLB the Show ? if your starting over you should be able to put the patch on with no problems other then the Replays at the end ...

You should never have to wipe your system just becasue your having problems with a game patch .

That is extreme ...

Hope this helps ..

Chris

Q: If I am opening this game up out of the box, I should be:

[ ] Not downloading the patch

[ ] Downloading the patch and Knight's roster set

[ ] Not downloading the patch and using a USB file to obtain rosters

[ ] Other

kuban, like I told you last night, there is a plethora of information on your error if you google it. It will help you out more than most of us here will have time to do. Good luck, brotha.

There's something informative from Sony within this site about error 800 (I think in your CAPs blizzard, I saw an 800, lol). Here is the link.

Do this: Disconnect your internet connection (physically is probably the easiest for you). Make sure you delete the MLB 09 cache data from the Game Utility Folder (or in your case you may have reformatted your drive which would do the trick). Put the disc in and install the game first. Make sure the game works fine next (with internet still off). After that reconnect the internet put the game disc in, and install the patch.

# 1008 DrUrsus @ 05/01/09 07:48 PM

Kuban, the patch 1.06 itself had NOTHING to do with your predicament. How it was installed (interrupted for instance possibly due to poor internet connectivity at the time) or how the game was installed (interrupted installation somehow) is the more likely culprit. I am not sure what you did since I wasn't there, but believe me it was not the patch itself. No one else has had this problem. It may have also been pure coincidence. One of my 360s got RROD when I put in a game for the first time, but it wasn't the games fault, it was just its time to go.

Also saw where the extra game (I believe LA/SD) the first week of the season is what seems to be causing the problem. So we don't have to wait for the semi-patch to fix the schedule before starting our franchise?? Won't the schedule be messed up until the patch?? Sorry just kinda confused is all

Anyone know if it is ok to start Monday or do we need to wait for the semi-patch? Thanks guys

the only reason some people didnt donwload the patch is becuase it messed up already existing franchises and stuff. if your startin from scratch, there is no reason not to DL the patch, cuz it makes the game better.

# 1011 MARTZball @ 05/01/09 07:50 PM

Thanks for the reply kehlis

# 1012 islanderfanpk @ 05/01/09 07:51 PM

kuban68,
If you reformatted the drive before you do anything go to system update. Make sure you have the lattest ps3 ver. running. Once confirmed then start you game. Maybe the sys. update is fighting with the MLB09 update. (both tring to install at the same time).

Thanks for the reply, I thought I was on the right track here. My head was spinning after yet again re-reading this thread.

Looking forward to joining the masses in playing one of the great sports sims of all-time.

That's a really big point I forgot to tell him. Good catch.

Oh, and I can't tell you how important this is. Make sure your internet connection is SOUND before downloading the updates or you can brick your system. It has happened to me before.

# 1015 DrUrsus @ 05/01/09 08:09 PM

I'll be honest guys. My game is working great, and I think I will wait to see how things turn out with "Patch 2.5" (the replay fix one) before I download it.

Doc I understand you telling me that its not a direct problem that resulted from 1.06, but it wasnt like this b4 and now its gone mad. The evidence is there to sent that patch to jail for a lonnng while. Im not giving up hope and waiting to try new game after reformating 2nd time. hopefully after that i put Thesho in and it installs update succesfully so I dont have to deal with the dilemma of repairing or mayb even replacing. Its just that I was playing the show perfectly until this ordeal arrived. Thanks for the response and guys pray for my Ps3! Its in critical condition and the show and I are going to be left with nothing but a heavy deadly weapon!

Yea, good luck with it. That system is still too expensive for something bad to happen to it that isn't covered by warranty.

Well, back to patch talk...

# 1017 Mike3207 @ 05/01/09 08:15 PM

I think both my questions were missed the last couple of pages, so i'll ask them again:

1. Russell, will potential be one of the attributes that will be updated?

2. Is it better to continue a RTTS that was started before the patch, or should you start new ones instead?

# 1018 bailey4mvp @ 05/01/09 08:35 PM

Ok so i am going to try get this done and fix the game, can some one please tell me what i should do to get it to work 100%

Ie: Delete the patch and so forth, please.

# 1019 SmashMan @ 05/01/09 08:54 PM

So, what exactly is this 'extra game' that causes crashes? I have no problem with restarting my stuff, but just curious as to what happened here. I tried searching, but it always timed out.

I don't know if it's my connection or the search is just screwy right now.

The original game had the opening Dodgers/Padres series as a three game series....the patch has it as a four game series. The franchises in progress got all confused over that.
