MLB 13 The Show Title Update 1.21 Available Now, Details Included

10:05 AM - April 9, 2013 by Steve_OS

Another MLB 13 The Show game update has arrived this morning, weighing in at 167 MB. According to The Show Nation, here are the details. As always, let us know what you are seeing.

Difficulty fix for ALL Online Modes.
Significant Steal Early exploit in on online game
Online Game soft hangs when pinch hitting or bringing in a reliever past the 7th inning.
Manager mode, the CPU will never setup for double plays. When there are runners on (1st base/1st and 2nd/1st and 3rd/bases loaded) and 0 or 1 outs, the defense would not be in DOUBLE PLAY depth. And turning a double play would result in a looping throw to 2nd base, and the AI would almost never turn the double play. Now, in the runners on base situation, the defense will play in double play depth and gracefully attempt to turn double plays. This previously only affected Manager Mode. Please verify that this change does not affect the general game modes (User vs CPU) in exhibition or season style games
Addressed an issue with completed games in the ticker.

Judging by the sticky thread for bug reporting being closed, I don't think there will be another patch. It's unfortunate but with the OSFM rosters, you can call up a prospect to challenge for the rookie of the year award. So it's not a total lost cause...

It's always been closed because of the new method of big reporting.

I played a full 9 inn game after downloading the last patch, keep in mind i only played 1 full game, i didn't see any stutter at all on my system in-game, played smooth.. however i am getting some slight pauses here and there in the menu music, but as long as the game plays smooth, i can live with that.

That thread has been closed since it was started. So there were no comments in it. Because to report a bug, you have to go to the link in that thread. The link still works. You can still report bugs. RELAX lol

Ya I realized that after a reply from another poster. Thanks but I don't really need to be relaxed on the issue. I don't really care if there is another patch. I'm happy with what SCEA has done. I was reaching out to those dissapointed that a particular issue wasn't resolved. From reading posts from developers, I've got a hunch that there will not be another update. They are probably turning their attention to the PS4 platform...

Just Curious what was the early steal exploit. I just played with throw cancelling on and just stepped off any time someone stole early and picked them off with ease. I didn't really see any exploit with it, other than people being idiotic and running them selves out of innings.

i dont know what the early steal exploit it. but the throw canceling option has nothing to do with pitchers being able to cancel their chosen pitches.

however, i am curios as to what the early steal exploit was and how/what they did to correct/balance it. these patch notes seem kind of vague.

# 49 HungAnotherOne @ 04/09/13 05:40 PM

I am very frustrated by the recent patch. The pitch stutter I was experiencing so badly before the first patch came out is back with a vengeance for me. I have played both online and offline, and at least for me, it's worse than before.

But it is a total loss because real rookies cannot contend for the award.

So no new update for the Vita yet?

# 52 vinny_pizza @ 04/09/13 06:14 PM

Downloaded patch, played Dodgers at White Sox in exhibition. While throwing my warm up pitches I saw one hiccup, rest of the game was as smooth as could be.

As a user that had the pitch stutter issue prior to 1.18 (which 1.18 fixed), I dl'd the new patch and played an RttS game. I did not have an stutter issues while pitching, I even switched to a generic stretch pitch (as I noticed it while using those pitch styles more so) and it was as smooth as butter. This is using a "Hefty" 60GB PS3 with a 320GB HD upgrade installed and 10GB game install. Now hopefully the next Vita patch will resolve the pitch stutter...fingers crossed...

# 54 hock0413 @ 04/09/13 06:28 PM

Downloaded the patch, played a 18 inning game and not one stutter.

# 55 Hayman19 @ 04/09/13 06:31 PM

I was having major freezing issues before the patch, and even though it did not mention anything about franchise freezes I have played 3 games without a freeze. So far I am happy.

Edit: Scratch that, just froze again

For the people wanting to download the patch but afraid of pitch stutter. Copy your save data to a flashdrive adn then install the patch. if its brings it back. Then delete it and re copy the save data from the flash drive to the PS3. That way you can still have the second patch. But i also believe HustlinOwl (hope thats right) uploaded the last patch to a filesharing site. Might be able to find it in the last patches thread.

I'll have to double check this but I DO NOT believe that patch data can be copied or shared like that.

Exactly it really is a total loss plus not everybody knows about or uses those rosters. It sucks knowing there isn't a single real rookie on the game. It kinda baffles me that it has been completely ignored by the dev team. I mean at least throw us a bone and let us know something. I held out for this patch hoping a fix would be made. It really does take a lot out of franchise mode.

Count me in that boat as well for thinking we won't see another patch. There has been three already and going by what was said in the last patch thread there are no plans for another. That's why I really don't understand not putting the couple of other issues that have been made known in this patch.

# 59 DGuinta1 @ 04/09/13 07:10 PM

Stutter for me now worse then ever trying to play online. Geez. Delete some save data, the patch, re-installing the patch and see what happens. Damn!

# 60 DGuinta1 @ 04/09/13 08:32 PM

Removed all Show related, didn't install the 10GB to HDD but the smaller version and the latest path. Works like a charm for me.
