MLB 11 The Show Intro Stutter and Game Stutter? ... Rebuild the Database

07:21 PM - April 19, 2011 by EnigmaNemesis

Now this is not widely tested... but everyone who has done this, seems to have fixed the in game stuttering and intro stutter.

And also would explain why those who did HDD upgrades, had their PS3 for a while have more of an issue than those who have brand new slims. (database is more garbled)

The HDD is constantly access by today's games, and while it is not a Windows style OS the PS3 uses (it is supposed to restructure every boot up and shut down, thus no defrag utility) it can sometimes get a little clustered, especially if you do a lot of gaming, and PSN demo downloading, etc.

These two links walk you through how to rebuild your PS3's database.

Those of us who have done this, eliminated the intro stutter, and in game stuttering all together.

It is fast, and simple, and all you will lose is the custom folders, messages, and playlists made (in which you can back them up ahead of time), and have to reapply proper audio/video settings.

Hope this helps clear this up for everyone.

NOTE: This is good to do once a month if you game and PSN heavy, or once every couple of months casually. Think of it like de-fragging your computer. So even if you don't get the stutter, it is good to maintain the HDD and have a happy running PS3. It will perform better across the board in all areas.

what is considered stutter for this game? I just bought by PS3 last month when THE SHOW came out. The only thing I notice that comes close to what you might consider "STUTTER", is at the beginning of the game loading, the first time anything appears on the screen for the game (baseball rolls towards home plate), the sound of the game sounds like someone turns the volume up, then down, then up, then down, really fast. Is this stutter? I have no other issues with gameplay or sound otherwise.

Fixed the intro stutter and haven't seen any in game stutter since, well done gentleman, and thank you.

What happens if you do this, and the "stutter" during pitches still persists? Just asking because I did it and it still "stutters."

Try redoing it again, or also doing option 3 as well to restore file system.

It was mentioned to back them up to a USB or external HDD in the OP.

It may work if they were in the same playlist format on the USB as they were when you added them in game.

Not sure if it assigns a separate signature every time you add them to a player or team to said playlist.

I haven't had any issues with Sounds of the Show since trying the database rebuild

# 31 spitoon @ 04/20/11 06:35 PM

Did the Database Rebuild, it took about 2 min on my 60GB Fat system. The intro stutter is gone so I guess it's a sign of progress, although it was kind of a minor thing anyways.

Haven't had time to play a game yet. I was experiencing the occasional 'hiccup' during gameplay, usually just as the pitcher delivered the ball (which sucked for hitting), or just after contact. I was seeing this 2 or 3 times per game, so I'll see if it improves.

Thanks for the info guys!

you cannot back up your playlists. You have to recreate them. So part of the info is not true

You can make custom playlists/folders on your PC, then transfer them over to the PS3, which is much more efficient and better for folder customization. And mostly what people do, especially for Sounds of The Show.

Thus you will always have that back up of said playlist. Doing it the PS3 way is too cumbersome IMO.

Figured it would, it needed the original folders.

Glad it worked out!

Did the rebuild and the stutter is now gone. Thanks for the idea Enigma! I was also hoping by doing the rebuild my PS3 wouldn't be so loud when I'm actually playing a game. That wasn't the fix though. It's always quiet when I'm in the menus and what not, but once I get into the bottom of the 1st inning of any game my PS3 is loud as hell. I'm still trying to figure out why it's so loud but I still haven't been able to figure it out.

Just the fans kicking up when under load from the game.

Wow. Awesome. Thank you for this thread!

# 39 pdawg17 @ 04/20/11 08:53 PM

Rebuild fixed intro stutter but in the first inning of my first game I had a horrific hiccup right as I was swinging at a pitch...so this doesn't fix all hiccups it appears...

I have a Slim btw...

Same with me. I think I'm gonna backup everything, format my hard drive, and start from scratch. I don't have this problem when I put my other hard drive in. Hopefully it'll fix it. If not, I guess I'll have to get a new hard drive, or just deal with it because getting rid of The Show isn't gonna happen.
