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

[mdbigman]

Haven't gotten an update in a while. Where are we on a fix for this? Or are you basically telling us (by not saying anything) we are screwed with what we had done before the 1.16 patch.

It's a new game and new HDD. I haven't downloaded any patches on this HDD. The game when I first played it was a rental it played fine I simulated spring training and played fine until I downloaded the 1.16 patch and played the second game against Seattle. Which it froze in the same matter. I deleted everything even did a complete system restore still froze. So I bought a new game and got a new HDD and I'm playing the spring training games but it freezes. Why??

This is a separate issue from the RTTS save file crash. What you are experiencing sounds like the schedule bug introduced from patch 1.06. If you can't delete all the patchs and fast forward to the All Star break or the post season. You will need to start over.

I've tried simming the intire season and post and picking up in the next season. It still froze. I delete it all and start over with the current, default, or online roster it still freezes.

This sounds really odd. So you can't play franchise at all correct?

Barely. If it don't freeze in one game it'll freeze the next. It always happens when my side is up to bat. After the pitch if the catcher catches it, it'll freeze as he's throwing it back to the pitcher.

I would think if the freeze were related to the corruption from the patches, it would a) be easily reproduceable, and b) freeze only in the main menu, or while loading at the start of the game. Once everything's already loaded, the patches and schedule wouldn't come into play at a random point in the game like that.

I'm not a member of the Best Buy Geek Squad, but I'd guess you have a bad disc or a bad PS3. I'd try using someone else's disc (maybe rent one), and someone else's PS3.

Another thought: Are you using the same roster file each time you start franchise mode? Have you tried default rosters?

I've bought a new game and a new HDD. I've tried every roster.

a new HDD but the same playstation? It would be the lens and laser piece causing the trouble I'd think.

Do any of your other games load as much or as often as the Show? The Show taxes the PS3 pretty hard.

Also, and I know this is a dumb quesion, have you tried blowing out the dirt from the inside with some canned air? If there's some dirt or debris holding up the laser or the lens from moving freely, that would definitely cause the freezing.
