MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

[Cubfan]

They could also be busy working on MLB 10 The Show plus the patch. Having a yearly development cycle can't be that fun to do.

Actually, it's only been a little over 2 weeks since Russell posted that they were working on a patch (April 7). Not that I pretend to know what's involved with patching a game (especially one as extensive as The Show), but I would think that 2 weeks is virtually nothing. I would imagine that just creating the patch is a lengthy process in and of itself. Then it must be extensively tested to make sure the fixes actually work and that it doesn't inadvertently create any new problems. We must also consider that if they do find a problem during the testing process, then it's back to the drawing board to try and fix it. I wouldn't expect SCEA to give updates beyond it's being worked on & tested. They are not going to tell us what they are attempting to fix until it is indeed working properly. Otherwise they might be making promises that they ultimately may be unable to keep. As much as we all are eagerly awaiting the patch, I would rather they spend a long time on it so that when it finally does come out it's worth the wait, rather then rush something out that isn't very substantial. I'm not trying to lecture or anything, but I just wanted to add a little perspective as we are all chomping at the bit to see what the patch will fix.

You make a great point. I myself won't exspect it til mid to late May/ Anything before that would be great.

I understand it is just a game, but I do like to have the most realistic line ups. and since I will play with the Cubs I would like to see thier schedule reflect the correct number of day games. no problem with the game really makes it unplayable, since I dont play online. I just dont understand how things that have been good in the past are screwed up this year ?? it is the best baseball game there is but there is always room for improvement. some people just like the little things fixed before they start a franchise. I will not wait until May, so hopefully it will be released soon.

if you download the rosters I have in the vault, you won't have either the lineup glitch nor the career stats glitch.

I agree with the poster above about the celebration in Tecmo Bowl being excellent. Ea's Nhl series usually do a good job with the celebrations as well. Back to the patch. I am about 55 games in to my franchise. Around ten games over .500 but every game the announcers seem to think I am exactly .500 with comments like " if they lose this game they will fall back below .500" and vice versa if I'm winning. Hope they ironed that little annoyance out.

Your rosters are based on a March update, the one Knight put out correct? Before they fixed the stat workaround?

Hoping to get some patch info soon!!

Correct. They also have the FA moves done that took place at that time and they have the Cards minor league organization done, although a few changes were made.

EDIT: My rosters DO NOT have the stat glitch. Players have their corrected career stats.

The biggest moves I don't have are Sheff to the Mets nor Pudge to the Astros, but you can move those yourself before starting a franchise.

from what i understood as soon as someone downloads it from the vault it will have the stat glitch...
the only way around that would be u uploading it here and people trasnfering to their ps3 via flashdrive....
seems the glitch happens once u get (old based)rosters from the vault.

i could be wrong though...but thats what i gathered from that issue.
