This all may have been coincidence as well, but the one time I did not get my replays, this is what I did "wrong". Any thoughts on that guys? Have you tried not pressing X in the aformentioned situations? Does it make a difference?

If you don't "X' out of flashbacks to homeruns from earlier in the game, you will get highlights.

Still plays a great game of baseball........if I'd stop striking out so damn much.

I absolutely love this game and I am soooooooo addicted to it. I have been staying up so freaking late just to play it uninterrupted (I have a 4 year old and if you don't concentrate in this game you will pay, lol).
What I LOVE about this game is how it rewards you for being patient at the plate. I absolutely love getting into hitters counts, and walking really makes me happy since I am lucky to get 1 or 2 a game. More walks are there, but I swing at ball 4 a lot.

Me too! (except I have a 6 year old).

To recap: If my franchise or RTTS has not frozen thus far after I have downloaded the recent 1.06 patch, is it safe to say I can continue with it with absolutely no worries?

I'm in the same boat. I usually have a TV on while I game (a 2nd TV) to watch movies etc, especially during NCAA and Madden. But with The Show, i have to turn everything off to focus. I HATE swinging at ball 4 and i almost celebrate more when i walk then when i score.

Pitching kills me. I find myself talking at the TV alot when im pitching and give up a hit on a 1-2 count.

Anyone else confirm this? It will suck to have to start over but I'd rather grin and bear it now instead of in July.

What date did your franchise crash?

Is that a franchise that was already started before you DL'd the patch, or after?

LOL, I know what you mean. Today, I was playing a game, but I always have an MLB.TV game on on my computer while I am playing. The real life Cubs did something good, and Len Casper started going wild, screaming and stuff, and he caused me to strike out in my game. D*** it Casper! It was a big spot too. I ended up winning 3-2, so alls well that ends well.
Anyway, I think I may have to lower the volume from now on.
I'm too much of a multitasker to turn everything off though. Maybe for the playoffs (if I make the playoffs

Man, I had a no hitter going (walked 1 guy in the 6th, but had a perfect game going to that point) with only 8 outs left to go and I just completely choked. The pitch meter was not even close to the accuracy line, and a double was hit off of me. You want to talk about talking to the TV. As Cosmo Kramer said in the Mel Torme episode, "I let the expletives fly!"

I got to tell you, the last game with the Cards I was peeking at the hot/cold zones of Mr. Pujols and Ludwick, A LOT! So I get lazy and Ankiel hits one over the CF wall. In review, right in a hot zone, lol. The game is intense. I'm getting a lot more patient too and getting much better pitch counts. I had to slow down the pitch speed, but it's working for me.

I got tired of not drawing enough walks so I lowered pitch speed all the way down. I have no pride anymore when it comes to this game. It has kicked my behind left and right on All Star, and I finally feel like I am getting the hang of it. Plus I found sliders that are working for me and tame the CPU just a little more than Psycho has it (basically using Psychos sliders with some tweaks). It's working great for me.

I've played about 5 games post patch with my previous franchise. Is it doomed to fail at some point in the future, or should I be OK?

I haven't had any issues with post-game highlights and I've been able to call up replays when I have wanted to see them.

I'd rather restart now then later...

I played about 15 games with my pre-patch franchise then it crashed. Hence I have restarted.....

Does anybody know what day the replay patch is to be released this week?

# 1159 papirui @ 05/04/09 12:18 PM

Quick questions if you may help.

I have the Patch and knights rosters V2 or V3 dont remember at the moment.

Ive played 70 games in my franchise and dont want to start over because of all the games ive already played and i also edit Walk up Music.

Sometimes i can see replays and Highlights sometimes i dont but maybe not pressing x will solve this?

Will i probably have my game crashed in the future like in second season? and maybe having no crash as just been lucky?

I also notice that very often now after i get a double or triple after my player arrives safely on base he starts running without me sending him? as anyone had this problem to?

Will the mini-patch solve my in game problems? Should i start over or continue my franchise?

If you started your franchise before the patch, it will probably crash. The mini-patch will only fix the problem with replays. It's really up to you whether or not to re-start your franchise.
