unable to save/play Franchise mode without constant crashing
-
As the title states, i've been experiencing frequent crashing in franchise mode, lately.
Since the update on the 26th, when exiting a completed game-- where it takes you back to the calendar-- when i back out to the franchise home screen ( where all the franchise info/ workings are ), it started to crash back to the game's home screen, randomly every handful of games. Since the 29th's update... it's been [censored] near every game. For example; on the morning of the 29th, after installing the update, I had attempted to play a franchise game... it crashed at the same spot ( calendar to franchise home screen ).. i hard restarted xbox SX... tried again-- same result.. Uninstalled/ re-installed the game -- same result.. deleted my previous 3 days worth of save files and tried again-- same result.
I then tried to sim , from the calendar, a game.. it didnt crash.. repeated-- no crash, repeated once more-- no crash.
Played a game -- crashed at the same spot, AGAIN !!Tried turning off the FOV ( background blur), this morning.. quick managed most of a game before entering it in the 9th inning.. finished the game and it didnt crash where it usually does. Tried a 2nd time, same result.. no crash. Played one more game.. CRASH at the same spot.
This particular crashing issue didnt start until the 26th's update. And so much more frequent, [censored] near every time, since the 29th's update. Before that, I had one crash in RTTS when it was loading back into the clubhouse, and one crash in franchise, when scrolling through player lists.
Also, not a crash but a total freeze, when I saved and exited a franchise game ( I was in the middle of it, when I had to leave ).. when I came back and started franchise mode to complete said game.. it loaded up, but everything remained frozen. Nothing was working, couldn't even exit it. I had to go to the Xbox home screen and close the game from there. Then, when I restarted the game, I loaded an older save from the game's home screen ( where you choose which mode to play ). That save loaded and I re-played the game that had been frozen. So, another bug that caused me to re-play a game.
I have auto save off and have lost many hours of playing due to having to re-play games that have had this issue happen. Now, im so fed up with this, I dont even want to play this game, anymore.... and I've been buying/playing it for decades.. i even bought Playstations just to play MLB The Show over the years.
Anyone else, playing w/ auto save off, experiencing the crashing issue ?
Do the devs, or anyone from San Diego Studios, even look on these forums... since we're always being directed to them ???

I love this game franchise... been buying since year 2, I believe, as at the time it was regarded as the best console baseball game. As mentioned, above, ive even purchased Playstations just for it. I've accepted most (of the changes over the years.
( a handful of gripes, but nothing bad enough to keep me from playing )However, being unable to save games, consistently, has completely soured this game for me. It has made it, basically, unplayable, for me. As I cannot trust that I'd be able to consistently save my games, after playing through a game ( roughly 40 mins ea. )

Quick update;
Just tried playing with auto save on.
Went through 10 days -- 9 games w/ 1 off day.
No crashing. Coincidence? Maybe. Or, is the issue w/ auto save off ( manual saving on ) -
Just finished 2 more games, w/ auto save on... crashed in the same transition from calendar to franchise management screen.
Wow.. Just wow !! What a waste of time, this game has become...
So frustrating... surely I can't be the only one experiencing this crashing BS.Well, I was able to play a week of RTTS and a week of franchise. Yay !
I'd ask for my money back, but that won't happen.
I'm done.... won't play again, until this is fixed !!!!! If it's not corrected.. i won't be playing anymore this year.. and will have to seriously consider purchasing next years.... for the first time in decades.
