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?

I've spent way more time testing this suff than I should have. If he's starting from scratch my recommendation is to patch it to 1.16. For new franchises or franchises started after 1.06 I haven't been able to make it break.

You need the patch to get online and dl rosters anyway.

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.

I'm just like you, I even have a notebook where I write down all my rosters from MLB team to AA with how much money they make and how many years they are signed for. I find this easier then goingto the screen and scrolling. Then at the 1st of every month I write down their stats to see who is struggling and who is hot, and compare them from month to month. This also determines who should be sent down and who should be brought up from AAA. Needless to say I was 1 game out of the Central and tied for the wildcard spot with the Cubs when this all went down. I was a tad pissed to say the least.

So i should delete the patches, my saved games, sliders, settings etc. and start over from scratch by repatching and settings and sliders? Then I will be golden?

I've been looking all over the place for someone who's had the same problem, and I can't seem to find it except for this reference you made, Cujomatty. I'm in the postseason and can't see any of the postseason box scores, for any teams. Regular season box scores are still available, but no postseason box scores. Opened all of my franchise files (I keep multiple saves going for paranoia reasons), and those in the postseason all have this problem. I've only noticed this problem post-1.16 patch, and it's the only problem I've had with any of the patches. Anyone else seeing this? Wondering if roster issues might be involved, but with all the different franchises I checked showing the same issue, it seems to be universal, not specific to any of the franchises themselves, which were started at different times and with different rosters.

Not the end of the world, but frustrating. Thinking of starting an entirely new franchise (with new rosters about to drop...) and seeing if the problem exists there.

Edit: Started a fresh franchise, with the latest online rosters, and simmed to the postseason...no box scores. Did the same with absolutely default rosters, different team, no postseason box scores. Checked minor leagues, too; regular season box scores available, postseason not. Seems universal at this point.

I went into "Game Data Utility" as well as "Saved Data Utility" and deleted every MLB 12 file. Reinstalled the game, dl'd the patches and now it plays fantastic. No problems at all. If I were in your situation that's what I would do. Couldn't hurt

# 447 markakis8 @ 05/03/12 09:50 AM

Can someone please help me? I tried starting a thread but a mod locked it b/c this thread already being started even though I don't have any of the patch updates b/c my PS3 IS NOT online.

Franchise modes freezes OFTEN after a game is complete. I exit the game to return to the main menu and the loading screen stays up forever. The PS3 is not frozen, the game is. I do not have any patch as I am not connected online with my PS3. I play with OSFM rosters.

Someone please tell me how I can avoid this issue. Franchise is like 80% of the game for me and it's making it unbearable to play. I'm tired of playing great games with great stats and it just freezing on me when I try to go back to the main menu after the game.

Thanks man, I will do that. I guess I have nothing to lose, since I already have. haha

# 449 Heroesandvillains @ 05/03/12 12:01 PM

Are post season box scores NOT showing up an issue with all Franchises???? Even ones started after DL'ing 1.16?

Could someone that started fresh with a new Franchise AND the new patch please check for me?

I just had my brother DL the patch. He started his new Franchise last night. Will he experience this problem???

# 450 Bulls321974 @ 05/03/12 12:03 PM

As far as I'm concerned, I didn't have any freezes yet and I'm pretty sure the problem got fixed.

But that ugly, annoying and very inconceivable decimal bug (game ticker) still exists! Please SCEA, don't tell us you won't take care of this issue that was created thru a patch(!)

# 451 Bobhead @ 05/03/12 12:12 PM

I'm trying to check, but as a member of the AL East it's practically impossible to make the playoffs by simming.

3rd attempt at simming, coming up

Thanks Bobhead. Good luck. LOL!

Please report back if you ever get in.

Man, this is really starting to bug me. Two days now with the "thumbs up" button not working...hmmmm.....

# 453 Bobhead @ 05/03/12 12:23 PM

Well I did make the playoffs.

Isn't the trade deadline July 31st? I was receiving trade offers from other teams all throughout august.

Anyway the playoff thing is confirmed. It's nothing like it was before though. There's no blank box scores or game freezes. This time the games are literally not even listed. If you go to any particular date, you can view "Today's Games" or "Organization's Games"... either way, the list is blank, and there are no games to look at, despite you picking a day you clearly played a game on. Also the "View box scores" option doesn't appear at all. I'll post screenshots in a few.

I saved this playoff experiment as a separate file, should I PM it to Russell? Too bad we can't name our franchise files, or else I'd name it "DON'T DELETE" or something.

# 454 Heroesandvillains @ 05/03/12 12:36 PM

PM it to him now; that way you don't accidently overwrite it.

I'll break the news to my brother. Thanks.

# 455 Bobhead @ 05/03/12 12:50 PM

I PMed Woodweaver because I just saw him online.

Anyway just to make it clear, you can play the playoff games no problem, but once they are completed, they magically disappear from existence. I simmed to the end of the series and I still got eliminated appropriately, so wins/losses are not "lost," just the games are.

Awesome.

I'm not exactly sure how the duties are assigned over at SCEA SD, so you may want to forward it to Ramone (Russell_SCEA) too because he is the Developer requesting them.

Thanks for the update.

The Non-Waiver Trade Deadline is July 31st. Teams can still trade until August 31st, but each player must pass through Waivers first.

# 458 Cavicchi @ 05/03/12 02:00 PM

I started a Season mode after 1.16 was installed. I recall someone mentioning a lack of balls hit off the pitcher. Well, in the few games I've played, there have been shots off the pitcher, and happened 2-3 times for me in the last game played. What I saw for the first time is a ball hit very slowly past my pitcher, auto fielding, and he just stood there looking at the ball as it slowly moved past him, and I mean very slow.

He stood there like it was an object from outer space and was afraid to go near it--he never moved at all. Of course it went for a single. Anyway, I've played quite a few games before this patch and never saw that happen. Now, it could be something that rarely occurs and it happened, don't know.

I don't play online or RTTS, just season or franchise.

Thanks, guys. I thought it might be a unique problem I was having, but apparently not. And yes, you can still play the playoff games, they just don't show up as they should once they've been completed. I tried all combinations I could, old franchises, new ones, all kinds of rosters, definitely seems to be unavoidable. Appreciate y'all getting this info to the people who can (maybe) do something about it.

# 460 Bobhead @ 05/03/12 08:09 PM

SCEA is aware of the problem, and a solution is already being worked on.
