**MLB 08: The Show (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

[Shinyhubcaps]

This stuff has probably been posted before, but I feel like posting it because I just had the glitchiest game. For the record, errors and glitches have been VERY infrequent for me... just the one freeze that corrupted a save of mine, as far as anything major.

One my brother had the other day: Carlos Lee hits a ground ball. Lance Berkman gets tagged out right in front of first base. Carlos Lee lead off the next inning.

OK, now here are mine:

1.) The game still calls Tampa Bay the "Devil Rays" every now and again. Very small thing that I'd like to see fixed (although somewhat realistic for the amount of times real-life commentators have slipped up this season).

2.) I was playing as the Brewers and had Gabe Kapler come in and pinch hit. He hit a home run, which plated 2 (score went from 2-1 to 4-1, and Jason Kendall and he came around to score). However, after watching the replay, the game proceeded with Gabe Kapler on first. His run counted, but he was back on first. Here is a screenshot of the game log after this incident; notice that it says he hit a home run, does not say he crossed home (although it counted his run), and then counts his stolen base.



3.) Evan Longoria, who hit a home run previously in the game, came to bat. They queued it up for his replay (which they already showed, so showing it twice may be a glitch as well), but instead showed the replay of Gabe Kapler's home run. The Brewers were on offense and the Rays on defense in the replay (as was correct at the time of Kapler's home run), which was incorrect for the replay they wanted to show. Strange that got messed up so badly; I'd understand if they showed the other Rays' home run, but they showed a Brewers one instead.

4.) Immediately after the botched replay, Evan Longoria was in the batter's box with his 3B glove on his hand. Obviously because they showed him with the defense in the replay, the glove stayed.



Anyway, great game, and as I mentioned, I've only had one bad glitch or bug in all of my time playing. It was just strange to see this many glitches in a single game, so I thought I would mention it.

(One more very small one from another game: When a ball is caught on the warning track behind home plate or behind either baseline, Dave Campbell says something like "They finally try to get one into the run column but come up just a bit short as this ball dies on the warning track" as if it were the warning track in the outfield. If a ball is popped straight back and caught behind the plate, for instance, the presentation continues as if it were a 399-foot out to the outfield warning track.)

Not sure if anyone has had this happen, but on the PS2 version I started up a franchise today and the bases were messed up. They were like miniature bases and it was hard to tell where I had to step. I'm pretty sure the out would still count if I stepped over where the regular sized bag was because I saw the computer do that, but it was very annoying when I would manually run to the bag.

not a huge thing, but i noticed that on a replay of a home run that was close to the scoreboard in some stadium that it showed the current line score on a replay of a home run that happened several innings ago.

if the replay is to be shown it should not include the current score but the line score at the time of said home run... just a thought...

Good job pointing that out.

Lets hope this will be fixed.

I saw a very funny bug last night. I was playing RTTS as a pitcher and the batter (don't know who it was, some random AAA guy) was stepping to the plate. In the pre-AB animations he took both hands off the bat to adjust his gloves and the bat just hovered in mid air until he grabbed it and stepped to the dish. It was hilarious.

Dunno if anyone noticed this, or has been reported yet.

In RttS, when you first load up a fresh save from going into the game for the first time. You go in Training ... all the yellow sliders are down to low as they go for your pitches.

You have to back out of the Training and go back in for them to correct. Dunno if it is visual bug or and effective one ... but I don't want to take my chances of saving it when they are all low like that, and not what they are supposed to be.

Yeah, I've definitely noticed that, too. Same thing with the replay vault.

I know it takes memory to save the score at that exact moment, but NBA 2K8 does an incredible job with this. Every player on the court and each one's score and foul totals at any point in time if the scoreboard will show it.

[mlblover15]

oh yeah another thing... (clears throat) ok the umpires taking what seems like forever on saying... "FOOOOOOOOOOOUL" on a ball that we obviously know is out of play and in the stands. not so much as a bug as a announance really... that is all now back to your regularly scheduled glitch and bug thread.

[walezy]

anybody got the bug where the batter shapes to bunt on RTTS and my 3rd baseman like walked really slowly straight and i couldnt do anything about it, i had to turn the ps3 off.

it was funny though as my player walked through the grandstand
