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

[dutch4404]

when exactly did this patch come out? was it sat morning? i hadnt played for about a week but went to play sat morn and got the update. so why put out a patch on the weekend if noone is there to fix it?

also alot of people are simming through to see if they get the freeze. can u try to actually play a game? thats where im freezing. when i try to play a game. im not interested in simming anything.

...still cant play my rtts. guess i gotta delete all patches. think if i get to the off season and re download the patch i will be ok?

on a side note i personally think its ok to call some people out on this. ive never complained about the show until yesterday. ive actually been a hardcore advocate of buying every season of it. when people ask if they should buy the new game or keep the old, i spend time listing all of the improvements for them. unless this gets fixed quick, ill no longer tell someone to buy the new game. its easy for people who arent freezing to say give them a break. while i didnt buy any training points, i spent my time playing the game. all to be frozen by their improvements.

Downloaded the patch, was playing a game in the 3rd inning, the game froze, then my PS3 died (YLOD). This is my second PS3 to die while playing the Show (last time it was 2009), most likely a coincidence, but it still sucks.

Do you think it was physically possible for SCEA to test the patch to match every save that the end users of this game have saved on their HDD's? If your answer is yes......I've got no reason to even respond, because as much as I feel sorry that guys are having issues with in progress saves(of which I don't doubt one bit).....if you think they can test for every possible variation of our saves, you're being completely unreasonable. ....and.....even though it was said by SCEA that you would be able to continue........except for the guy who bought his first console and this is his first patched game.....to think that it was impossible to potentially have a problem with an in progress save is naive. Not excusing anything here, but let's get real. Patches are a crapshoot except in fresh starts. ...and you know it....and I know you know it. M.K. Knight165

Point taken. But wouldn't it be reasonable to assume those franchise files they requested from other users be tested? Were they? A definite 'yes' or 'no' wasn't asked, only your opinion.

As another poster pointed out the things this second patch is supposed to fix had nothing to do with the problems the previous patch is listed as fixing (OF depth, decimal pts being in stats where they shouldn't be, etc btw are still an issue).

While we understand patches are indeed a "crapshoot", if that crapshoot breaks your game and makes it hardly playable you're going to want to let the guy who broke it hear about it. Some people spent over 400 bucks for this game, a Vita which purchase was especially for this game, and a second copy of the game (along with the absurd memory card prices). In this economic climate especially why be so surprised when those consumers complain about an excrement sandwich served to them from any game developer no matter what their reputation is? We're supposed to stay silent or not get too loud? Really?

While patience with the developer is not a reasonable request to ask (and it's been over two weeks btw. Over a week since we've heard anything at all from them. Even patience has an expiration date), shouldn't it also be reasonable those burned in this "crapshoot" would vent their disappointment?

Despite SCEA claiming you could "continue on" my question is continue what? You can't cross platform save, some can't play their franchise at all, while others must avoid looking at box scores. This is not what the consumers who plucked down real money paid for. Given these realities, the surprise these people would dare complain about the vaunted SCEA development team suspends common sense.

EDIT: Now I also understand your position, Knight. You and others were invited to SCEA to check on the development of this game while it was in production and offer suggestion to the development team. After being invited to someone's home, be fed a nice meal, then walk away and say how terrible the meal was wouldn't be kosher and you must temper what you say about any problems the game currently has out of proper decorum if nothing else. All we ask in return is those burned in this unfortunate incident be given the same courtesy. Claiming those people suggested SCEA didn't care or did it on purpose isn't very kosher either

I am probably the only guy here who has two PS3 Slim consoles, and I'm damn sure happy to have two! I have 1.06 installed on one and 1.16 on the other, and I have two The Show 12 discs. Hopefully there won't be a problem starting a franchise with the 1.16 patch, but if there is, I'll start one with the 1.06 patch.

I bought two PS3s because I've had optical drive problems and waiting for the repair was not acceptable, or put another way, I need to play The Show baseball.

tru dat blueduke.

my rtts is as basic as it gets. i play with almost all default setting. i used knights roster. i can understand people with a franchise can get very different set ups that are hard for a developer to work with. controlling multiple teams and what not. my rtts is as normal gameplay as it gets. knights roster is the only wrinkle i put into it. guess its my own fault for being past the all star break? i dont know.
