MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

[ill23matic]

Dont know if they can fix this in a patch, but this issue has been in the last 2 years and KILLS several rallies for me. Ive only played 5 games in my season so far, this has occured in 2 games both of which I lost by 1 run.

Runner on 2nd, ground ball between 3rd baseman and Shortstop. Runner automatically retreats to 2nd base.. Fix this please!! by the time u press any button to advance, he doesnt turn around till hes almost at 2nd base, then his momentum has to shift, if u advance him to third he gets thrown out.

In both instances, i tried to advance after he retreated to 2nd base, and then realized i was better off retreating him cuz hes dead meat at 3rd. In both instances, less than 2 outs, next guy comes up and hits a flyball that would have been a sac fly, tying the game. Instead its an out, with no run scored. PISSES ME OFF. The runner should be freezing on this.

No one but SCEA knows for sure. With some patches you don't have to , with some you do (on other games).

I've had that problem in the past, but not this year. The minute I see that hit, I hold down the R1 button. Just had that scenario tonight. I don't know, maybe I have lucked out this year.

Same here.
Also a side note:
Cool thing that happened. I did the "Major League"
play a while back. Fast man on 2nd with 1 out. I stole 3rd and bunted. The 3rd baseman ran in and threw to 1st all the while I never stopped the runner and he rounded 3rd and scored on a very close play at the plate...

I have guys do that to me online everytime they get a runner on second. Skyboxer, you should be ashamed of yourself, lol. (jk)

Seriously???
I did not know that was a "Glitch" error or whatever...
It was a very close play at the plate with a fast runner so I don't see how anyone could do it with anybody...
Either way guess I won't do that anymore... lol
