Yeah there were a couple of times where I had the game freeze on a HBP with the bases load and there was another time where it froze on a homerun.

It just happens in this game from time to time, I'm hoping that's all it is because I really wanted this patch bad. There is a lot of good stuff in it.

No manage roster freezes here....tried loading several old save files from as far back as March.

About to play some games now...Thanks for the quick response to the 3rd out run bug guys! (and to Corporate for allowing you to push that last fix through).

I didn't mean to forget to praise the people at SECA for the hard work. I don't think you had to work this hard on a patch #3 but you did and I really do appreciate it. You care about your customers and it shows. Not everything can be fixed but you do more than most companies would ever consider. I feel very fortunate to have a PS3 and be able to play your game every year. For a die hard baseball fan there is nothing better.

I just finished a game up after the patch and is it me or is the gameplay smoother? Some of the animations on auto fielding seems to be improved.

As long as there are no freeze bug glitches as a side effect to this patch I am very, very happy.

Played a couple of games in my franchise tonight after downloading the latest patch (franchise save was pre-patch) and did plenty of moves on the Manage Roster screen for several different teams and did not experience any freezes or problems. Two games isn't much of a test, but so far so good for me.

Thank you SCEA for do help a great sport game better and very playable and fun.

Patches and being several versions deep in a sports game always worry me. I have flashbacks to Front Page Sports Football 99. FPS Football was a great game but as they released new versions every year and patches it seemed to get more buggy resulting in the mess that was 99. One of the lead designers said that by the time they got to the 99 version that the code was such a mess and got so unruly from constantly being added on to that it was impossible to tell what would happen when something was added or changed. The programmers wanted a two year window to rebuild from the ground up but the company wanted to keep the yearly release schedule.

I am not saying The Show is going down that road, just expressing concerns I have when patches are released and then bugs are reported that werent there before.

I seriously lol'd at this update item:

-Fixed Clayton Mortensen's face
 
# 69 Alistair @ 05/22/10 07:54 AM
Arghhhhh! I downloaded and installed the update, restarted my PS3 and the game is refusing to load.

It reaches the loading screen with the picture of Joe Mauer, and the loading bar freezes about a quarter of the way.

This is ridiculous. Has it happened to anyone else?

(I just want to clarify that it's freezing before the disc even loads - not the roster screen like others have reported)

Made me laugh too.
 
# 71 countryboy @ 05/22/10 08:28 AM
for those having freezing issues, post what PS3 system you have. Maybe that could help narrow down the problem.

At least it would eliminate one potential cause.
 
# 72 Alistair @ 05/22/10 08:43 AM
Hmm... restarted by PS3 a couple more times, cleaned the disc (it didn't look dirty) and lo and behold, it works now.
 
# 73 show stopper @ 05/22/10 09:06 AM
just had my game freeze as i went to warm up a 2nd pitcher. It will not let me leave the screen. It tells me "You must replace Brandon League" he's the pitcher the Mariners just put into the game. I'm the Brewers. I cannot get out of the screen. bottom 7 tied game.. now i have to restart...
 
# 74 ltw0303cavs @ 05/22/10 09:44 AM
As far as the HBP freeze i had that prepatch, also I am starting to figure out the "fat" PS3 you should get rid of for the slim. The manage roster screen freeze, if you post that, it would help if you post what roster your using and if you have 30 team control on ? Roster control on ?
 
# 75 Shadymamba @ 05/22/10 10:39 AM
WOW! GREAT....SCEA your the best
 
# 76 jakroeger @ 05/22/10 11:18 AM
For the folks discussing the freeze at Manage Roster.... As I posted earlier, it is only happening in the OFFSEASON when you go to Manage Roster.. NO freezing issues going to Manage Roster during the season...

PS3 System is the 120gb

Also (and more importantly) I have not been able to make it past a sim or two in the offseason... It freezes as soon as I go to advance the day... Has happened every time so far..
 
# 77 bxgoods @ 05/22/10 11:28 AM
The manage roster froze for me in the offseason. I have a 60 gb ps3.

And the draft problem seems to have been fixed with the patch, they've lowered # of A potential pitchers the way it was in 09.
 
# 78 jakroeger @ 05/22/10 11:34 AM
Have you been trying it in the offseason? It hadn't happened to me pre-patch, so IDK...

Interesting, I just simmed to the offseason to test it and I had no problems. It's slow but I didn't have any freezing issues.
 
# 80 dragon4ever @ 05/22/10 11:50 AM
I just simulated the entire season and the offseason and the game has never froze. I was able to access manage roster just fine. I don't think it's an issue with the patch at this point.
