MLB 12 The Show Game Update 1.16 Arrives, Details Included - Post Your Impressions

[Bobhead]

I will say this: As it stood before this patch, there were 4 groups of people.

Those who downloaded 1.06 and had no problems with a pre-patch franchise/rtts

Those who downloaded and started a new franchise/RTTS

Those who downloaded 1.06 and had freezing problems but continued with their old file and just ignored the problems

Those who deleted the patch and continued their old files

These are 4 completely different situations. Imagine trying to make 1 patch that safely and efficiently complemented all 4 of these groups.

I realize SCEA kinda got themselves into this mess in the first place, but I think we should at least cut them some slack if the patch doesn't work for everyone, in every scenario, since it's practically impossible for it to do so.

I dl'd patch 1.06, had freezes with a current franchise, started new franchises on both PS3 and Vita with those newly created franchises freeze as well. Haven't dl'd this new one and am not going to. It's been over two weeks since this fiasco and have heard nothing from SCEA for about the last week of it. Then they release a new patch that causes more damage. You give them all the slack you want but my patience is wearing thin

EDIT: *rant on* besides the problems the firsst patch was supposed to fix......some of those problems are still present. you can still throw people out ay first base from right field as the RF plays too shallow. Even Knight confirmed this*rant off*

While I do agree that it is no easy task when it comes to compatibility / future patching, given the tiny amount of changes this patch brought it shouldn't have been as big of a headache as it is.

Had 2 online game fixes and an alignment fix for box scores / schedules.

Now don't think I'm saying it isn't an extremely hard thing for even these minor changes. I went to college and for a few years it was nothing but programming classes for my major. I know how even the most mundane tasks can be lines upon lines upon lines of code that when not done exactly right can go haywire.

But then there is the arguement that given the issues with the last patch, the first thing SCEA should have done when creating this patch is to check the compatibility with the different situations that people would be in.

I mean the problems people are having are in RTTS and Franchise. That is the 2 most played game modes we have. That is I'd say 90% of the people who buy this game aim to play. The fact that they bring out 2 patches that screw them up (for some) is just unacceptable.

These are the kinds of issues that should happen during release week if at any time, not months after release when we are all chugging along in our franchises / RTTS.

here are the facts of my freeze...
1)knights opening day roster
2)started pre 1.06 patch(was past april so i got that patch without incident)
3)rtts after all star break when i got 1.16

That is the group I am in. I DL 1.06 and started a brand new franchise. DL 1.16 and have no issues at all.

I'd be apart of one of those 2. I don't remember my exact start date (I had started up my Braves franchise when OSFM Spring Training rosters were released) but I restarted cause of a settings screwup (no CPU Trades were happening cause of CPU Roster control). Was sometime shortly after the OSFM Opening Day rosters came out.

I am currently unable to play my franchise cause of the record / freeze glitch.

If I have to start over, fine, not going to like it but nothing I can do.

I do want a refund for training points though. I lost out on money (and time) because of these issues.

Edit: We I guess not all is lost. I deleted patch and my game works now.

What major issues did 1.06 fix so I know what I'm missing?

[JG1986]

I use OFSM rosters. Play with the Mets. Had a franchise before the first patch. Downloaded the first patch. Never had any freezing issues. Downloaded the new patch. Haven't had any freezing issues.
