Had three crashes in one hour since 1.05 dropped. One when my RTTS player was leading off from first, another at game end another waiting to bat.
It eventually goes to the "Report to Sony" screen, and the first two times I added some detail and sent it off. Not going to keep repeating that though.
Worked fine yesterday. Cannot finish a series since 1.05 dropped.
Anyone else struggling?

@joshjays44_psn said in Any other Pure Analog Hitters Out There?:
Pure Analog Stride hitting is always the way to go when playing The Show, it seems more natural and doesn't involve aiming at a target like its Duck Hunt or button mashing X like its a baseball game from the 90s. Its an actual swing of a baseball bat but I'm sure you know that already, its just that causal PCI noobs don't understand that. But to get to your question..no, once you practice for a while and play about 20 games you'll get a feel for the hitting and you'll realize when you hit a high fly ball or hit into a double play its your fault...don't be discourage like a casual noob, just keep practicing and take swings and it will all come together.
Yawn

Yes, let’s change server maintenance hours for ,01% of the market
(11% - Just saying)
The 2nd most popular Baseball game in the world. OOTP - is made by a German
It is what it is. Unless they have dedicated EU servers they are making a sensible choice. It does muck the game up over here. Means I rarely if ever play this year. I love cricket as well BTW so this and the IPL being cancelled has put a real dent in my sports this month.
I'll move on and play and watch other things. It's not the end of the world. -
I've made the World Series. Played every single game up till this point in RTTS.
Now I click to play the first game. Athletics Vs Yankees.
It comes up with the line-up screen (showing friendship boosts). I can R1 and L1 through some other screens like the starting pitchers and playoff tables etc.But other than that the game just sits there. The icon in the bottom right still goes through it's various animations. PS4 has not locked up. I can quit the game and play something else without needing to reset
Just in case it was a server thing I've tried many times yesterday and today. Quit multiple times, re-started multiple times.
I've waited this time for over an hour with it stuck on this screen.I mean man. Played a full season to get to this point.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? -
Ok deleted both saves. Go to set up a ball player.
There is already one there (checked - I have no save games)
He is a second base (why? - I never created a second base player has my look and loadout.
I exit the game using a hard reset. I don't want the game to save this guy. I DO NOT want to play 2B and check Settings > Data > Saves again.
Nope. No saves for this character. No RTTS player saves at all (and RTTS is the only mode I play)
This "phantom" player I've never used has more progress to begin with than either of the players I created?Feels like this "phantom" player is getting the XP and advancement I should be earning. The player I'm using is stuck. This guy starts with 5 more overall points than I ever had. But he is in the wrong position. A position I never created a player at.
Sorry for spamming this thread. Wanted to keep people up with what was going on in some details to give the devs a chance to fix it. Needed to provide details of the problems and post them. Probably wasting my time but worth a go.
-
Deleted my progress
There is either something wrong with my save or something wrong with the game.
(I did have two saves (both with my name - i.e the same name) wondering if the game is getting confused or something?
I'm going to give it one more go. Both saves deleted. If I get no-where today I'm uninstalling.
2 weeks of this BS and I've had enough of this,. Going back to MLB The Show 20.
Man I loved that game. -

@busdriver555_psn said in Game Update 3 Thread:
My ballplayer card references C, SP, and SS and makes zero sense.
Hey Colin - Why ignore all questions about RTTS and Ballplayer issues? Just keep ignoring and not responding like it does not exist?In RTTS, my ballplayer is continually assigned as a Catcher in the lineup. Good. When my agent calls, he asks if I am OK with being a Catcher. I answer Yes. Still good.
When you exit RTTS and select the main Ballplayer loadout screen, it shows him with his 82 rating and a small circle that says SS. SS?? Then if you click the card to see more detail, it shows he's a catcher again as primary position, but SP as secondary. WTF? Why does it even mention SS?
If I move over to DD, the dude is no longer an 82, he's a base bronze 65! And in this one, he is a SS and C at secondary.
What is up with this?? Why would SDS make you do all this? You need to call the CIA to figure this mystery out. Sometimes, the ballplayer is an 82 gold, Diamond archetype (Mago), base screen shows a 78 SS, additional detail shows Catcher and SP as secondary, and DD does show SS primary.
Has anyone figured out how to get this thing as a high level Catcher in DD? I am doing this BS RTTS just to get my player bumped higher. Why would then even make it this hard to get the position right??????
I am an adult and a long time vet of this game. I cannot figure this out. SDS pretends there is no issue. Won't even say "We are looking into it". If adults and vets can't figure this out, you think kids will? No, they will probably give up and go play COD. Nice job, SDS!!!
Sounds like user error in ballplayer menu. And i'm not saying that in a mean way, i'm saying it literally sounds like you are missing a step somewhere. My player transfer has been seamless.
I'd really like to help if you would like to list the steps you take?
Sam happens to me.
My overall changes and my position changes between the logon preview of my player and the pre match set up of my player.
Suddenly i'm a 2B?
I've never created a 2B with different skills.
Where did the game get that from? -
Log in.... my RTTS player has an overall of 68 (Woot - up 5 from yesterday somehow)
Go to pre-match screen.... Nope. Same player - same loadout and archetypes - I'm now back to 63.
I was 63 when I started a marathon game session yesterday. Playing each of over 100 games.
I was 63 at the end of it. Despite hitting at over 400 and being darn good in defence..
I'm also still a 2B when I go to Diamond Dynasty. My player is not 2B - not even as a secondary position. Now it says I'm out of position at CF(which is what my player is) because (apparently - according to the games messed up view of what's going on) I'm a 2B
What the flying !!! -
@foresticek_psn said in Game Update 3 Thread:
I've had 0, in words zero disconnects last two days of playing. This looks good and I can finally again enjoy The Show
Same here. No disconnects.
In a way I wish I had been disconnected though. Then I wouldn't have wasted an afternoon treading water.
Moving my overall skill meter up about 0.4 of a level in 100 games played. Not earning enough XP to advance 1 whole level (despite this still being double XP time)
Earning 1 piece of wearable equipment - inferior to what I already had (plus a load of player cards, stadiums and outfits for game modes I don't actually play)Will the devs answer two simple questions;
Why when I go to DD from RTTS am I suddenly a 2B? It says I'm playing out of position at CF. My player is a CF, has always been a CF in '21. I play RTTS at CF and only CF - yet when I go to DD - I'm a 2B. I haven't created a 2B player since The Show 2017.
Do I need to start again? Is this lack of progress and player type mis-match happening because whatever bugs there were are locked into my character now? Is it picking up saves from previous versions (I have 15,16,17,19,20 and 21 all installed on my PS4 Pro at the moment - all with saves)
-
Yeah. Also when I go to DD (which I feel compelled to do because apparently the game might just let me advance if I do)
It tells me my player is a 2B and that I'm playing "out of position" when I play CF
My player is CF - always has been CF. SO why when I transfer him to DD is he suddenly 2B? Where the hell did that come from?
Everything feels so [censored] janky. Like it was programmed by someone late Friday afternoon - left in the office "Join us at the bar when you've finished coding the game logic Dave"
And of course Dave wants to get down the bar... real quick
Just re-release MLB The Show 20 with a new cover star, current rosters and a stadium builder for next gen consoles and call it good. It's got to be better than whatever the %^&& this hot mess is -
Gone from 61.3 (thereabouts - looking at the circle thing) to about 61.7 in an entire afternoon and evening's play. (100 plus games. All of them played - Zero simulated)
Gone from May to season end 2022 and gained about 0.4 of a point of overall.
Hitting at well over 400. Very close to 100% fielding (only one error I can remember) stealing bases, skill ups between series whenever they are offered. Got one piece of equipment that is inferior to the pieces I already have.
My XP (even though it is supposedly DOUBLE XP) has taken me from halfway through level 12 to halfway through level 13
Not getting anything meaningful in the way of rewards, not getting any meaningful advancement in XP, not getting any meaningful gains in skills.Not sure why I'm bothering to play to be honest.
Is it because I need to start again with a fresh "save" made after the patch dropped?
Because this is seriously seriously dull
(Played every MLB the Show since PS2 including PS Vita iterations so I know what this is normally like to the tune of many thousands of hours play time)This game is messed up beyond belief,
It's so slow it feels like I'm imagining progression.
If RTTS isn't broken. It's doing a very good job of feeling like it's broken -
It seems context sensitive.
I'm not sure what the conditions are, but I'm pretty sure the patch does not fix all players in all conditions depending on how far you have progressed and what that entails.
Things to consider...
Is this the first and only time you have created/re-created your player?
Are you - or not a two way player
Have you or have you not already progressed to AAA or MLB
Have you picked up items and cards? And if so what are they?Depending on what the answers to these (and probably other questions are). seems to impact whether the game seems to be working for you or not,
Overall. RTTS is a complete and utter mess, and if it's working for you as you'd expect. You are lucky. You have somehow avoided the many pitfalls and booby traps in choices and game conditions that many others have fallen foul of that is ruining the game for them.

Adding as I play
Progress is still painfully slow. 90 minutes and I haven't moved a quarter of one unit. I was 62.3 (ish) and now, 30 games on I'm about 60.5?
I've not hit a home run for about 2 months. I made another "Slugger" profile. Equipped the Slugger archetype cards - and have had a few "perfect perfect" as well as some very close shaves. Not even nearly hit a home run.
Been awarded one piece of equipment which I suppose is Ok. It's worse than the stuff I already had so not an improvement - but at least I got one.
Not getting any throw accuracy points. Thought the game was not showing them until I mis threw (finger slipped off the button) and I was deducted 2. Realised I have NEVER been awarded any throwing points
No practice sessions? Are these out of the game now?I did get my equipment back when I logged out and back in again. I don't know what's going on there.
Just a feeling that RTTS is about as broken as it was before the patch. Maybe different bugs - but still have no confidence. -
Side note:
What is the point of the other cards that support your archetype card. (the ones you place under and either side)
Yes you can boost Contact or whatever, but in almost all cases you lose more than you gain.
Add 5 to power Vs left and 5 to power Vs right..... Lose 5 to contact Vs left 5 to contact Vs right and 3 to plate vision.
So gain 10...lose 13
Why would anyone bother using these?
No matter which ones you equip - they make your player worse? -
Go to create another loadout. None of my equipment shows as at all,
I have several sleeves, a couple of pairs of sunnies - so even if you are only allowed to use an item in one loadout I would still have others unused. But all my loadout slots in my inventory are now blank.
Cards seem ok. Equipment just vanished since the patchGetting really sick of this.
-
No. I try and equip my player and it shows I have no equipment at all.
I have earned 3 compression sleeves and 2 pairs of sunglasses. When I create another loadout and go to equip my player none of them (nor any other items) are showing up.
I'm getting sick of this. -
@acamp1900_psn said in On purpose?:
Agreed on everything, especially that I’d rather not ever play DD again.
Been saying for a week now,.... it FEELS deliberate. For a ‘bug’ to magically hit like this the very year they tie RTTS to dd and very little word on it for the first few weeks (including early release etc) just feels dirty. They’re getting people hooked into dd as much as possible before ‘fixing’ RTTS.
Side: it’s amazing that some still go around acting like you can max your RTTS player out with 50s in every stat in like one day and you’re some newb moron if you can’t... ive been grinding speed and now power all week on beginner just to get my guy playable. I get stat boosts every game that move the overall so little it’s taking an entire season to move the power one point... but apparently you can max it in one sitting... Lol. This also makes it hard because the only real way to get your guy good at all is through archetypes that progress SO MUCH faster in dd.... which again, is totally on purpose.
Yeah I asked someone about this They told me it was "Easy to hit at .800 and get 150 homers a season on the easiest level"
All I can say about that is, they are a very very different ability of player to me.
Part of the reason I play RTTS is because I am TERRIBLE at the game. I can't even see the ball above Veteran level (literally cannot see it) I'm in my 50's so I'm never going to "get gud" - cause I already "got old"
So I play solo play RTTS. Play it my way. (easy mode - and I don't care what anyone thinks about that. I have not the tiniest bit of self wroth wrapped into how well I can play a video game. If you are much better than me. Great. Good for you. So what?)
Because that's how I can enjoy the game.
Or "Used to be able to enjoy the game"
Because this year it has been a really poor experience. And bugs aside, the fundamental changes they have made to RTTS have ruined it . So even after the bug fixes, I doubt I'll play again. -
Something has gone wrong. Planned downtime is now every day, and right when I have the time to play (from the UK it's about 9:00am to early afternoon - then I go to work)
But I don't really want to play anyway because RTTS is the only mode that interests me.
The SE has been out 2 weeks as of tonight and the progression bug was being reported here within hours of it coming out. Even if it wasn't bugged it's horribly slow to progress and hobbled by the "dress up game" mechanics. Swapping your clothes and cards changes your player type completely between games. I'm not sure they could make a more immersion breaking feature. Not so much progress as "playing dress up"
Until it's fixed I'm not that interested in playing anyway. And if they don't change the "Clothes and cards make the player" mechanic this will be the last MLB I buy. Playing the old NCAA game at the moment - and while its graphics are rough and the animations are very out of date - overall I'm loving it.
