Ok....I need some clarifications before I begin a Franchise and want to be sure I don't make a mistake......I Download the patch from SportsConnect.... is this done automatic when I log into SC? Or is more required? After downloading / installing patch, can I then load Knights roster and begin a Franchise with no stats glitches etc? I have only used SC one time and have never used a patch so this is all new to me...any suggestions and info will be and is greatly appreciated. My goal is to play in Franchise with no stats glitch or roster hangups. Thanks for any help...

# 1102 ferriscj24 @ 05/02/09 05:57 PM

I deleted everything on my HDD as well. Re-installed The Show, downloaded that patch, then when I attempted to log in to SportsConnect, I immediately crashed to the XMB. Re-started the game, and haven't crashed since...yet.

I played a full exhibition game, with replays and flashbacks, but there were no end of game highlights. Weird.

You download the patch before going on SC.
Knight's rosters all have the stat glitch. Ridin is releasing his new roster set without the stat glitch later this week.

I personally cleared all MLB 09 files from my PS3. Installed the patch. Reinstalled the game. Loaded knights v2 rosters and everything works fine. replays included.

# 1104 Revolution42 @ 05/02/09 06:01 PM

Excellent...thank you very much. Where do I download the patch from?

# 1105 scooteristkai @ 05/02/09 06:01 PM

The patch will install automatically when you start the game while being online. From my understanding all rosters pre-patch are "infected" by the career stats glitch unfortunately.

Yes, that is unfortunate...but nothing I can't live without, Im a stats / numbers freak...anyway, ok thanks for the info.

When you say you "cleared all MLB 09 files" do you mean just the franchise file or did you delete everything (sliders, rosters, profile, the game itself)? If so I'm assuming that you had to reinstall The Show and then install the patch. Correct?

I just got rid of everything after my franchise crashed 3 games in after the patch & yes thats what I meant. Figure I'll wait for Kinghts v5 and just start over.

Shady,

To do this, do the following...

1) Turn on PS3 but do not go into the game, just go to your XMB screen.

2) Go to the "Game" heading, and you will see "Saved Data Utility" (These are your franchise, roster, settings, etc. saves) Delete all of them.

3) Now, still under "Game" heading, find "Game Data Utility". This is the BIG file that was installed onto your hard drive when you first fired up the game. Delete that as well.

Now you are at scratch, start up The Show, it will tell you there is an update available (The Patch). Download that and then it will download and install itself. Then it will begin to copy files to your HDD.

Make Sense?

# 1110 jocker9 @ 05/02/09 08:40 PM

Do you think I can fix this problem, or am I going to have to start over? I played 3 years in the majors and then got bored to be on that team so I simulated the next three years until I was a free agent. I didn't get an offer from a team I liked, so I waited out the offseason and tried out for the Dodgers. Anyway, I can simulate just fine and I can play a game, but then when the game ends and goes to the "Last Game Stats" loading screen, it freezes. I can still hear the game sound bites or music in the background, but the screen is frozen, the loading bar stops moving. I had the patch and it made my RTTS crash, but I uninstalled and it worked fine after that, I played and simulated a bunch of games. I don't know what's wrong with it. I really don't wanna delete it or start over since I had all my attributes maxed out and I was just starting to play for the team I wanted to play for. Any suggestions as to what I can do? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

# 1111 metal134 @ 05/02/09 09:19 PM

Your only options are to either play without the patch or start over.

(E.G. more code that is able to be affected, and potentially in a bad way, by patches released for this year's version). It could be that code we are in no way seeing any direct effect of is getting "activated" by code put in for the patch and as a result leading to issues elsewhere. Like if there is code in place for a future feature that impacts the current features in the game, and when certains sequences occur this code is "activated" and then alters the way existing features work.

Don't think so hard!

This thread is impossible to follow

so are they still working on a mini patch to fix the replays/post game highlights?

Thanks. Yup, that makes sense. I haven't really done a helluva lot yet so there isn't much to lose. So once I clean everything off and install the path (1.06), I should be able to download Knight's V5 roster and play a franchise without any issues whatsoever (e.g the missing in game and post game replays) Or is that still debatable? Hence the mini-patch.

# 1116 footballislife @ 05/03/09 01:01 AM

Ok... I can not read 250 pages so hopefully someone can help me...

I read that Knight released a new roster that works with the patch. What happens to the people franchise that are using his old rosters? Do the freeze or what? I am using Ridins old set so I am guessing they will do the same. Any help would be great

Once you clean everything off using the steps I gave you, you will be back to "out of the box" (ie...brand new game). Once you start the game, it will say "Update 1.06 available" (or something thereabouts. Accept the update, then let it do its thing. Then the game will start. You will then have the 6-7 minute wait while it installs 3GB of MLB 09 The Show information to your HDD again. Then you are patched and ready.

Secondly....When you patch the game, you can ONLY use Knight's roster(s) Version 4-6. Versions 1-3 are for PRE-PATCH ONLY!!!!

And finally, you are set and ready to begin a franchise. The "mini-patch" is only going to fix the replay issue, and Russell from SCEA gave us the go ahead that the "mini-patch" will NOT affect franchises that have already been started AFTER the 1.06 patch was installed.

You should be ALL SET!

I still have Knight's first 3 versions on my PS3, but I have downloaded the patch. You are saying only use versions 4-6 from now on?

From Knight:

v1-v2 and v3(I have to re-upload for Millennium) will work with no patch

v4-v5 and v6 will only work with a patched version of the game. Any roster that is A. new off of the vault or SCEA updates won't work in an unpatched game even if someone else puts it on a download source for you other than SCEA or the Vault now or B. Has been on a PS3 that has been patched.(the patched game adds some files to the roster saves and once added those rosters will become invalid on unpatched games)
Good news though....I will take v2 and v3 and add Struts update and have those available for those guys that don't patch.

I don't understand. Unless Knight redid the entire file on a newer base file, isn't all his versions based on the same base file?
So if V1 thru 6 are off the same base how can some be pre patch only and some be post patch. The only thing he could have changed is the information on the file not the structure of the file. If someone could go into more detail how some are pre and some are post i would appreciate it.
