I was talking about stock mid/end inning sounds playing over SotS, which was fixed in 1.06; not the cutting short of sounds/commentary, which was not.

And I wasn't sure about event SotS. Just offering feedback.

I understand what you were talking about and I said that they still remain even after 1.16 AND the mid inning music still cuts out.

I dont know how many times I hear the stolen base tire squeal or the strikeout cash register as well as other stock sounds before or with my added music at all points.

Hopefully they issue a press release ASAP - this sounds serious.

Played a few more games last night with my franchise file started before either patch and almost caught up to current day... no freezes. Simmed ahead (but didn't save) and no issues people have mentioned.

It may just be a small group that are having issues. I'm only seeing people who have issues looking for help - not the guys who don't chiming in and saying all is well.

I tried this 4 times and everytime it would freeze in the same spot. Needless to say I'm pretty pissed right now, and not sure what to do.

I had the same problem. I downloaded the patch and my season was one week before the ASB. I played several games, and stopped with an in-game save the Saturday after the ASG. Fired it up last night, and finished that game. Had a guy due to come off the DL before the next game, went to the options screen, like you, froze.

I tried three times, same thing. I did go to "roster management" and saw an option to place him on the 60 day DL, I am gonna try that today. If it doesn't help, I think I'll sit tight until we hear something, I don't want to really delete anything, or start over.

Okay, I think I would be okay, but would like to confirm.

I am at April 30 in my franchise, I did not d/l patch 1.06. If I d/l patch 1.16, I should be okay right? They fixed the issues re: playing against the Royals, Marlins etc. right? I have played the Royals.

On the other hand, I am past the all-star break in my RTTS and would have to start that over, correct?

If my franchise is okay, I may d/l the patch as I don't mind starting RTTS over, though I may just wait to see when/if this all gets sorted out.

As far as I have read, all your statements are correct.

I play the games to the day on the calendar.
I just played the May 1 games last night (even the Royals) and I had no issues.

My impression of this patch? Worst. Patch. Ever. Deleted it and all other patches

# 428 BatsareBugs @ 05/02/12 02:52 PM

Very insightful, detailed, and helpful there...

Anyways, I finally downloaded this patch for my PS3, which I use primarily for franchise. I restarted my franchise and did a fantasy draft so I can't comment on that front that would be of help, but after reading that the freezing occurs with files past the all-star break regardless of what year it is, I'm considering downloading the patch on my brother's PS3, which has the RTTS files since they are all pre-all star break.

I haven't played much to get a real impression of the patch, since it is illogical to base things on a sample size of one game, but I noticed the little loading thing on the bottom right at certain times and a little hang-up/freeze when the game boots up (right at the SCEA San Diego plate logo).

# 429 Rev.Maynard @ 05/02/12 03:05 PM

Downloaded the patch, had my Cubs franchise freeze. So instead of unpatching and not being able to play online I started a new franchise with the A's.

Played the first game and it freezes once again at the "player of the game" screen. I had this problem before, and turning the auto-save off helped remedy it, but once again with the auto save off it froze again.

This game is garbage.

# 430 Deutscher @ 05/02/12 05:11 PM

My cloud save will not advance now and I am in August.

I cannot play the next game, I cannot sim, I think it's pooched.

This is on the VITA and the PS3.

I'm going to try and delete the patch data and see if that improves anything.

Wish me luck.

Seriously. The Bluejays are first in the east. I need this

# 431 Heroesandvillains @ 05/02/12 05:55 PM

I'd like an honest answer here on behalf of my brother (my love-fest with the game prompted him to pick up 12 yesterday).

He wants to know if he's be better off DL'ing the latest patch and starting a new Franchise or going completely 'Non-patched' like game was release out of the box?

He could probably safely do either, but since we don't know what 1.05 addressed, I don't know what to tell him?

Thoughts?

# 432 Helios12787 @ 05/02/12 06:04 PM

From everything I've seen / know it would be better for him to download all the patches if he's starting a new franchise.

The main issues seem to stem from those of us who had franchise files dating before the 1.06 patch and RTTS seems to be fubared in all sorts of situations.

Thank you.

The thumbs up button isn't working for me today. Weird...

# 434 UberA13c @ 05/02/12 06:15 PM

Patches are so exciting, since I haven't started anything yet with the game I'm gonna download the patches and start fresh and see whats up. Will give feedback

# 435 RPM @ 05/02/12 06:24 PM

I felt like starting my franchise over anyway after the first "month"...I often do after the first go of it. So hopefully, this won't affect me.

Feel bad though for guys who were 50+ (or so) games deep and can't continue on...that's rough.

I spend HOURS doing the "wannabe" GM thing (I fret over A-ball guys) before season game 1 and would be mortified if the same had happened to me.

You may want to do what I did. I deleted everything re: MLB 12 and then re installed the game, dl'd patches, etc. Now it plays like a champ

# 437 Helios12787 @ 05/02/12 06:45 PM

As much as I am dissappointed atm that I've lost my 150+ games played franchise file I will say this for the patch:

1) I don't know if it is just randomness but I swear to you (as I've seen other people say) that I am getting a messton more variation on things like bloop hits and little flares that drop. I had one earlier to day that I inside outed over the 2nd basemans head by mere inches. The only time I've ever done that so far this year (in around 150 games) were hard hit line drives that they don't jump high enough for. Have also had a few flare bloopers into the outfield as well which was a nice sight.

2) That's about it lol. Still waiting and hoping I get my near end of season 1 franchise file back right.

# 438 Bobhead @ 05/02/12 08:19 PM

I agree heroes. Eventually there is going to be a patch with something important in it, or your brother will want to play online at least once, and then he will subject himself to all this nonsense at that point anyway. It's better to just download the patch now and start from there.

# 439 Heroesandvillains @ 05/02/12 08:33 PM

Yeah, I guess I'm still unsure.

If I knew what the 1.05 patch did, it would be a much easier call. My game (1.05) is perfect to me. But he can't have that version.

It's all or the unknown.

Thanks guys.

It's not the patch then. Delete all the game data, reinstall. Should be good.
