MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

07:41 PM - March 2, 2010 by Kolbe

Here is our list of the current known issues that we're looking into for immediate attention:

Attendance:
Attendance is not correctly getting reported. In talking with Jeff, he has a fix in mind that is fairly safe but would end up in the actual attendance not mirroring the paid attendance you get in franchise. It would fix the issue where you have 50k+ people attending Spring Training games. This will also fix issues with playoff games and games played in any stadium that isn't your own.
* UPDATE - This was caused by the stadium select screen being added to franchise, causing the attendance to be reset using the non-franchise logic. The stadium select was previously never used for playoff games, so it didn't handle that situation. This is fixed and it also fixes the issue with spring training games showing the attendance as if they were in their home stadium.

Trade Waivers:
Users can claim anyone off of trade waivers - CPU teams will never pull them back.
* UPDATE - fixed this one - a simple fix that will prevent user teams from simply claiming everyone that was passed through trade waivers.

No Contract:
Players can get into a state where they have no contract.
* UPDATE - As soon as a player was placed on release waivers, his contract was cleared. Then if he was claimed, he didn't have a contract. It was also clearing his 40-man roster status, which is what was causing him to go to AAA instead of the MLB team. Have a fix for this.

Player Potential:
Looks like a fairly bad miscommunication ended up with us having some seriously out of whack potentials. This will be corrected with the next roster download (Monday)
* UPDATE - Lorne is taking care of this - will be fixed with a roster update.

Multi Closer issue:
If a CPU team has 2 closers (one acquired in a trade) - they will always send one down to AAA.
* UPDATE - It would just look at the closers and see that they had more than they needed so they'd send one down, but they wouldn't look to see if they could send down a reliever instead and keep the 2nd closer in the bullpen. Have a fix for this.

Multi Trade players:
Not even sure what the details are on this one, but it looks like sometimes a player is traded and then re-traded or waived. Currently investigating.
* UPDATE - I have a fix for the trades. I'll not allow a player to be placed on the trading block by the CPU if he has been acquired by a trade recently.

Manual Trade issue:
I've seen a few reports of users having trades set to Manual and still having trades done by the CPU. Again, no idea how this is happening and we're looking for more information.
* UPDATE - Not sure what's happening here, we can not get this one to reproduce. Whoever is getting this, please make sure that you don't have your profile option set to something different than your global setting. If you need to talk to me via PM or IM for further info, please just say the word!
* UPDATE 2 Thanks to tabarnes19 and a couple hours of debugging we have found the issue and have a fix in the works.

If you respond, please please PLEASE do not be noise. We need clear help or silence - we want these things cleared up as much as you do!

I tried with a DOWNLOADED roster that has Chapman from the Reds on it. He is second rated SP second season still not up and not even on 40... Edit: Strasburg best ovl SP on Nats still in AAnot on 40. I can handle no promotions in season, but offseason?

I can't believe this game made to the store shelves. This game is in beta stages as it is now.

This depends on when you set the auto setting for the CPU. I believe you need to set the auto set before you start the franchise then save your franchise and reload it in order for it to work. I could be wrong though. Have you tried that yet?

# 444 bxgoods @ 03/07/10 01:37 PM

There's no auto setting for drafting, I had the same issue when I did the 30 team franvhise.

Yeah that's how I had it setup when I began. Never changed any settings. Can someone else confirm?

That's disappointing, to use 30 team control you have to give up rule 5 and amateur draft.

# 447 ravens1352 @ 03/07/10 01:45 PM

What a crime. I can't belieIve I paid $60 for a game that is obviously still being developed and can't play how I want. I love "The Show" series but this is making me question if I bought the wrong game this year.

That's the beauty of 30 team control. That is why it's called 30 team control. I know some people may hate this or disagree with it, but that is one of the purposes of 30 team control. EVERYTHING is in your hands. You should just wait until the roster update tomorrow cause i'm pretty sure it will fix some of the franchise issues with trading superstar player.

LOL. Do you know anything about video games now a days? THEY ALL have bugs and glitches and the Devs of the show are working on fixing all of these issues. they started on fixes less than 20 hours after the game was released. Relax man, and stop trolling.

you're trolling just as much as him...just because you defend the game doesnt make it "ok"

with that said, does anybody know if a patch is even coming?

# 451 bxgoods @ 03/07/10 01:54 PM

^ lol that's a good way of putting it

You have 2 choices, either you run a ghetto franchise with no trades and simmed drafts (dumbest idea ever for a franchise) or you put in a whole lot of work approving EVERY trade and drafting EVERY player. Get real man.

DUDE you can turn CPU roster control on and none of these will be an issue.

That's not entirely true. There is options that will allow you to set certain things to cpu control. Now what I think is happening is things are not being done as they are supposed to. Like when trades are set to manual, the cpu is still trading. When lineup, roster, management is set to auto the cpu should do that.

Don't get me wrong this is the best playing game to date. And when these issues are fixed it will be a great game. I am just pointing out things that we all need to look for work arounds to.

For what its worth 2nd season on, players and star level of players on trade waivers is very accurate. 2nd season only star I saw on trade waivers was A. Gonzalez.

Arent you at the point now where you either need to understand the issues with the game and enjoy it for what it is currently or sell the game? Out of your 71 total posts here I get the feeling that atleast half of those are complaints about the same thing over and over again. The Show isnt perfect, there are work arounds that will solve a majority of the issues, this work around isnt ideal and therefore isnt for everyone. You could play something else, wait until Monday and see how the game reacts once the new roster update is loaded or you can continue to complain about the same things here but it hardly seems beneficial to do the later. Im not trying to be an *** but at some point youve gotta make the decision on whether to keep the game or not and repeating yourself here isnt going to do any good.

Ya, it sucks but not a whole lot you can do about it. I will prolly just sim the draft, and do the Rule 5 thing manually...btw, I never saw the sim stop to tell me about a rule 5 draft??? When and how does this happen??

Get real man. The game is great but the franchise (cough, my favorite part of all sports games, cough) is bricked right now. The fix hopefuly comes quickly.

Yes, it has its flaws but it is what it is man. If you really can't deal with how it is right now then take the $20 hit and trade ur game in for the arcadey 2k10. Or just buy 09 and play it

Get over myself? At what point did I attempt to make myself seem "holier than thou"? Continue on crying then, Im sure it will make a huge difference in the overall scheme of things.

EDIT- For the record, Im not thrilled with the work around either as I dont want to have to police lineups as much as I would have too but if youve played The Show before this year then you know this has always been a problem and, quite honestly, at some point you almost expect it to continue and become immune to it. Is it a perfect game? Of course not, but if my biggest issue ends up being screwy lineups then I can deal with it as Ive had to deal with it for years now.

If you turn CPU roster control ON, then back OFF you will se NO TRADES at all with the cpu amongst themselves, or the cpu trading for you. YOU are in control to make ALL trades for every team manually if you want. That's what CPU roster control means...

Guys enough....this should be about identifying problems and solutions, not arguing. Everyone plays the game differently no way is the "RIGHT" way. Let's please stay on topic.

LOL, ok, carry on then. I sure hope they address whatever it is you hope they address.
