MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[Armor and Sword]

Patch 1.05 is a success. Things I noticed right away were:

My game time in franchise and season mode playing full counts is now logged at over 100 hours so I have seen ton's of gameplay action across the entire league with various rosters (classic and current) etc etc.

1) The sound of the ball off the bat is now dynamic again and that beautiful sweet "Swat" sound when you groove a pitch is now back!!! When you hit a nubber or a weak grounds or fly ball.....you know. When you smoke a pitch you now hear it again. Thank you SDS for noticing this right away and fixing it.

2) Bunting is better. I was not having too many issues before. But I saw a noticeable difference from the previous update and out of the box. The ball does not rocket off the bat nearly at the clip it was before. But please remember. Bunting is dependent on various factors.

1) Player quirks
2) Bunt ratings
3) Type of pitch you bunt

Success is not guaranteed nor should it be. Most pitchers stink at bunting and hitting in general. So a sac by your pitcher should not be automatic. But at least the bunts are not flying off the bat at the level they were before.

Great bunters should see an uptick in bunt success as well.


The game still has some minor but noticeable OSD (On Screen Display) bugs in terms of divisional standings (wrong teams being displayed for said division) and also when they show a pitchers OSD and comment on how many walks they give up.....they are incorrectly being displayed as K's. Officially they are being scored as walks so not to worry. But the OSD is wrong.


Again......there is a minor issue with balls in the dirt and the catchers slower reaction to it. But I have not seen it as excessive as some reports. Also be mindful of situation, your pitchers stuff etc to avoid wild pitches. I don't cheese it either when the CPU has a dirt ball and it is very close to the catcher. I just sit tight. But if it is a true wild pitch/passed ball by all means take the base.

Everything always comes down to how you play and approach this game. Everyone has their own quirks, skill level etc.

Enjoy this game because IMO it is clearly the best Sports game every in the genre. Just simply amazing. The ball physics are truly mind blowing and the new fielding animations and humanity AI that goes with it......new level stuff. I can never go back to a previous version of this game with just those two new additions.

This is next gen console baseball.

Next game, series finale against Seattle in the rubber match. King Felix on the mound vs my #5 Tomlin and his 1-3 6.66era

I jump on Felix 6-0 on 6 hits, 3 walks and two homeruns (one grand slam by Naquin) in the first inning.

Anyways, he is NOT yanked! Comes back and gets first two outs easy, gives up 7th hit and 4th walk before getting out of the inning. Still in the game for the 3rd inning...this is QC on

Patch 1.05 My Impressions:


The good:

Bat sound is fixed.
Pitchers are taking longer to be pulled. (With Quick Counts)

The bad:

No mention of toning down homeruns.

Through my last 10 games I have hit 24 homeruns. (Picture Proof.) DEFAULT SLIDERS

*I have pictures on this post. The other 5 pictures are posted below on same page.

It just worked properly for me correctly showing AL Central standings. First time I have seen it since 1.05 patch so take it as a good sign!

Really? That would be disappointing as I want to start all three of my leagues once Hybrid rosters drop. What exactly is the pause glitch that people use?

People constantly pausing the game, stepping off the mound, stepping out of the box after getting behind. They are trying to freeze the game and get the win. Then they will run the pause timer run down and the game will end with like 1 or 2 seconds left and give them the win. This happens all the time in diamond dynasty and br.
