Has anybody had problems with the roster with the new patch?? I also have like a 5 month old PS3.
I don't think anyone knows for certain. I deleted everything, profile, rosters, settings etc.. except for my season. Simmed to the Off Season and still had it freeze as soon as I entered the Manage Roster Screen, others having no problems, so take it for what its worth.

Re-install patch?

For anyone having the Manage Roster screen freeze in the Off Season it looks like as long as you don't enter the Manage Roster screen prior to Nov 18th your good to go. Ive tried twice now simming past Nov 18th then trying to get into Manage Roster Screen and the game doesn't freeze, so it may just be that simple.

Just had a play today in an exhibition game (Rangers vs. Yankees; I was NY) where I hit the ball to 2B. The throw sailed high and over the first baseman's head, allowing my runner (Gardner) to reach 2B. On the replay, it was clear that even if the throw had been on target, I would've been safe, so the game correctly ruled it an infield single and throwing error on the Texas 2B.

Maybe thats it, I just know I had it happen to me twice on Friday, and haven't seen it since.

I was thinking that was the case with the one Ramirez hit to Prado that Prado threw away but on the replay Ramirez wasn't even close to 1st base yet so had the throw been accurate, it was an out for sure. Maybe I just had a bad stretch last night or something because I don't remember seeing any definite errors scored as hits prior to the last patch. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that I don't see it anymore. I can't remember which game it was, maybe one of the old Triple Play games, but whichever it was used to score outfielder errors as hits every time and they used to aggravate me every game I played.

i just tried to start a new season twice, using the newest rerated rosters and obviously using the newest patches... each time when i try to go to the free agents screen the game freezes. i am SUPER pissed off right now... if they patched this game into a freezing piece of crap i will sell it off immediately and move on. this is ridiculous.
 
# 148 HustlinOwl @ 05/24/10 11:20 PM
more than likely its your system

If you are using a "25-man" roster, in Season mode, then it will freeze on the FA screen, due to Season lacking minor league teams. And it fills the free-agent pool up past the games logic limit.

^^So would it be safe to say it's maybe from the new patch and not from the PS3 system?

There were 2 updates last week because there was a significant bug in the first one. SCEA re-patched it and release another update later in the week.

My bro plays this game a lot and said that he notices it's harder than it was before. Is it just him or is anyone else experiencing that as well?
 
# 157 gocubsgo @ 05/27/10 08:44 AM
Since the update I went into a 7-game losing streak -_-.... getting shutout twice! it seems harder to hit or maybe it's just me who knows

So when spring training ends it gets screwed up royally with almost all those cut players winding up on the FA list (it becomes massive after spring training).

It's something that we actually caused when we figured out a workaround. It will only do this in SEASON mode, not franchise mode.
Ahhhh....got'ya!!

I just started a new Franchise and noticed that League Leaders will scroll along the top of the screen from the beginning of the season on. Pre-patch, I didn't see League Leaders at the top until much, much later in the season.

I've lost the only 4 games I've played since the patch and the computer is teeing off on my pitching staff, and I'm striking out more and getting fewer hits than normal.
