Re: ***Official patch 2 impressions thread (PS3 only)***
THey did something else to it. Its not only the inside edge thing. While some players are different, Jacoby Elllsbury just took 2 strikes and his rating was a D- still.
David Ortiz is like an A- in walks.Last edited by kcxiv; 04-02-2009, 02:12 AM.Comment

Well..taking two strikes isn't going to help the cause of getting a walk. heh...Comment

Pitching seems to be tougher as well. If you mess up a little on the timing, he will throw a bad bad pitch.Comment

Re: ***Official patch 2 impressions thread (PS3 only)***
I managed to get 5 post patch innings in before and was pleasantly suprised to see that the game plays like baseball now! The aggression has been sorted out and I didn't notice the 1st base glitch. Although I did have outfielders misplay 2 fly balls, both costing multiple runs. I'm assuming its something I'm doing wrong but I'm really not sure what that could be. I'm moving to the spot and then letting go of the sticks.
One time the left fielder raised his hand too late and the ball bounced off the outside of his glove, then later my centre fielder completely ignored the ball and it landed right next to him and continued to bounce on to the wall. Please help me with this guys! What's the secret to catching fly balls?Comment

Does this patch address the Franchise Freeze issues?Comment

Re: ***Official patch 2 impressions thread (PS3 only)***
I'm confused about the First Baseman foot glitch. I keep reading about how the foot was 'pulled off the bag' on throws. I always thought that it was where the First Baseman had his foot SET on the bag (or rather off it) on throws to first. There were instances where the First Baseman's foot was set ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAG so that his entire shin was resting on the bag.
Has this been fixed as well? Does the first baseman now always set his foot against the inside of the bag to take his throws?
How about DP's? I've seen the 2B/SS miss the bag entirely at the start of a DP.
Also, can you break up a DP with a hard slide into 2nd? Has collision detection been added/improved? How about the few vids I've seen where HRs were hit by guys on pitches so far off the plate that the ball never actually touched the bat?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm very pleased with 2K's patch attempts. It's just that this game had so much wrong with it, I wish that they took a bit more time to get more right out of the box.
I'm a 360 player and am anxiously waiting for our patch to release. Until then, I am reading this thread and hoping for positive answers to my questions.
Thanks!

Re: ***Official patch 2 impressions thread (PS3 only)***
They might've done all this but the most major omission IS the editing of players stances and pitching etc...
I am beside myself that this hasn't been done already? It was mentioned and asked to be done by a millon OTHER posters on their forum and nothing happened to it being addressed?
2K Ron (Mr. UK lol)even glossed over the issue as it not being "mentioned" to him LOL...
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just because a million people complain about it though, does not mean that it's reasonable to expect it to get done. Patches of this sort are meant to tweak tendencies and make the game play better, as well as squash bugs. They are not meant to add new features wholesale to the game.
I hope for everyone's sake that the user can edit stances and deliveries in 2k10... then we all won't have to hear about it anymore.Comment

Sounds like they fixed everything I was hoping they would. Hopefully, the 360 patch is coming soon.Comment

Re: ***Official patch 2 impressions thread (PS3 only)***
They appeared to fix A LOT.
I have a theory that they reached a point and knew they were going to patch so they cut their build, kept working even though the game "went gold" and knew of most of these issues.
KUDOS either way that they worked to get it out.Comment

Hmmm..might have to give this game a second chance. Been playing the Show and shelved 2k9 until the patch. I didn't want to trade it in until i gave it a fighting chance.PSN: ckarlic

Also, it just looks generic if you want to create a bunch of players and they all look exactly the same at the plate.
I understand it's not for everyone, but it is important to many. And if it's not something that can be fixed in a patch, we have to live with it...hopefully they fix it next year.Comment
