Released earlier today, MLB 15 The Show update 1.03 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 fixes various issues with the game, including pitch guessing delays while online and crashes on PS4, while also adjusting Andrew McCutchen’s hair to match his current appearance.
Here’s the full list of patch notes:
Online
- Gameplay – Game would occasionally hang following an Intentional Walk, a regular Base on Balls, a Hit by Pitch, or a Balk.
- Gameplay – Guessing Pitches had a delay and users would occasionally fail to guess Location and Pitch Type when offering input quickly.
- Franchise – Injuries were not occurring during Online Franchise games.
- Online – Within Game Rooms, users were missing their rank logos that distinguished them as Rookie, Veteran, All-Star, Hall of Fame, or Legend rank.
- Online – Play Now Rated and Diamond Dynasty – Home and Away team assignment was not random, resulting in some users always being the home team, or always the away team.
- Online – Play Now Online rated – Controlling the KC Royals, user would be given control of the ace pitcher (Ventura) no matter who was chosen to be the starting pitcher in the Pitcher Select screen.
