What exactly were the baserunning and fielding issues? I have played 4 seasons of RTTS and am not sure I know what you are talking about.

The Sept. crash blows, but they gave us a fix for that, even without the patch.

Certainly haven't seen anything you have described that would keep me from purchasing the game. But to each their own I guess.

Whats the fix for the RTTS September crashes that dont require the patch? Im just now thinking of jumping into an RTTS season so run along with my franchise but want to have all the info I need before getting started and trying to read back through this thread is pointless. If you or anyone else can either explain it to me or link me to a post that does explain the process it would be greatly appreciated.

Back on subject its May and I havent started my season yet Maybe hearing everyone complaining has affected my enjoyment for the game or Im just weak willed . Was thinking of getting 2k9 mlb to better appreciate the show09

LOL at calling them the Mighty Ducks.

On topic: I was lucky enough to read feedback here before downloading so my franchise is still plugging along. I would have hated to start over.

# 1286 DrUrsus @ 05/07/09 04:01 AM

Totally off topic here, but I started my Red Sox franchise tonight and threw a NO HITTER my very first season game with Josh Beckett (picture posted in my sliders section). This was my first no hitter ever in any MLB The Show video game, actually in ANY baseball game ever. There was a celebration with the guys jumping around and they held up Josh Beckett. Awesome!

Anyway, any new news on the replay patch?

# 1287 scooteristkai @ 05/07/09 04:53 AM

Sorry if I�m the 100th person who asks this but am I STILL supposed to do that even if I start a new RttS after a new installation of the game-data and the patch???

It will only fix the replays.

With how huge this thread is, I doubt this will get seen.

You still can not fire your Farm Director. It now shows you who he is, but cant fire him! I got to the offseason. My Farm Directors contract was expired. I went to hire a new one and it said I had to fire my current one first. I go and fire him even though he doesnt have a contract. It seems to work, it is now listed as empty. I go to hire a new one and get the same message, I go back to the view the coaches and there he is again. You can not get rid of him.

Did you hire a new one yet? It probably will show him as your Farm Director until you hire a new one.

I play 2nd base on a d/p ball hit to 3rd when the 3rd baseman catch's the ball your man will stop dead in tracks till the ball is thrown to him. This normally happens when a left handed batter is up, cause the 2nd baseman plays a little to the left. The base running issues are relative to the camera if your on first and the ball is hit to right field your pushing right on the stick to go to 2nd when the camera swings around now right is back to 1st. By the time you push left to get to 2nd your thrown out at 2nd.

I haven't seen the first one. I have seen the second one once, and I just adjusted to it. But yes, baserunning setup in RTTS is one of my biggest complaints.

That being said, I don't see anything that would cause me to declare the game broken or unplayable. As I said however, to each their own.

NOOOOOoooooo!

I put this game on the shelf to let these patch problems get taken care of.......but I assumed this specific problem was taken care of with the first patch. Unbelievable. They are going to create another patch to fix the replays, but not address this? The whole franchise mode is broken due to this prolbem. The coach/training part of franchise is crap as it is, but the glitch was just the straw/camels back.

ALSO --- Fix the Ranger's helmets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I can't play with my favorite team because of those ugly helmets..........
