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.

I'm thinking about doing this. I have a ton of walk-up songs and songs that are qued at a specific time. Will I have to re-do the timing of each song if I do this?

I had to re-install the game before and it was a pain the A to re-do all of it before. I don't think this is like that but I was just making sure.

What exactly are the consequences of doing this?

EDIT: I found in previous posts you will have to re-do Sounds of the Show if you do this.

This worked for me in last years game. Can anyone confirm that they have done this and it has successfully resolved the issue for this years game? I've been trying to hold out on getting the game until a patch comes along but I'm not sure my resistance can hold out much longer. Knowing this works will be a big help.

I am trying it now. I haven't been receiving the stuttering that people have had but had been getting hard freezes that forced me to shut off my PS3 in franchise.

I had already downloaded the game for a second time and that didnt fix it, so hopefully this will. I have had my 80 gb fat ps3 for a few years now and had never done this so I can only see it helping it.

I have done this three times already. It doesn't help a thing.

I've also done it and it doesn't help. Hopefully the first patch will address the issues.
