Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

I saw an ugly fielding glitch. My CF is running in to try and get to a low sinking line drive. I hit the RT and he makes the play. But if you look at the replay, the ball should have bounced about 6 inches in front of him. Instead, the ball 'warped' into his glove.

Not good.

BigBlue

I'm guessing there was no dive. I don't want them to increase the frequency of diving catches on grounders in the IF, but I've yet to see a dive in the OF.

I got the game only after I could confirm that the pitcher view is an option for batting. But it seems that the controls are not inverted from the standard/batter view. I can't really confirm b/c I'm not up to speed on hitting and/or maybe the animations suck and aiming hits doesn't work well. I don't think I can get used to pulling the stick left in order to hit it to right. That's ********.

Can anyone else confirm?

Also, no check swing for classic control sucks.

batting behind the pitcher view is ruined again this year....the catcher moves to the exact spot way too early before the ball so u know exactly where the ball will end up just by looking at the catcher.

I'm not knocking this view but I'm just curious as to why you would want to bat using that camera angle (from behind the pitcher)...

Regardless, I agree with you. If they provide that camera angle then they should ensure that the controls are intuitive and that the game doesn't give away the spot of the pitch so easily.

Try batting from the "batter" view. That's what it's designed for

I disagree. The catcher should move if he moves. That's baseball.

I like BTP as well (though I'm going with BTB when hitting for this year) and that's just how it is. You can also see what the catcher throws down from that view.

Up to you to look or not look.

I would hate it if they made the catcher a statue just because we want to hit from that view.

I have to agree. Catchers move. I can't remember which catcher, but someone wanted to pummel A-Rod a year or two ago for looking at the catcher right before the pitch. The catcher thought it was 'cheating'. I say it's a smart move if you want to hit well and can find the time to do that. And I can't stand A-Rod for the record.

edit: the only problem in a video game is that if the catcher "catches" you looking at him before the pitch, it doesn't matter in a video game if the next pitch is a bean ball at you. In real baseball the bean ball might deter you from doing that again. Sad but true.

Any news on when the next patch is due? I really want throwing arm, injury and error sliders.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but has the patch for the PS3 dropped yet? The other day I was prompted for patch 1.06. Is this the same patch as the recent 360 one?

I remember back in Bases Loaded II for the original Nintendo, the catcher would stay stationary but only his glove would float around towards the direction of the pitch as it came in (without his arm attached). It was pretty awesome

But yes, catchers should move in video games. This isn't 1990 anymore.

I like the pitcher view b/c I prefer the tv broadcast feel to a game. I've never actually paid attention to the catcher movement, at least consciously. Controls shouldn't be backwards, though, if they're gonna put that view in.

Ron said on Twitter that the PS3 patch will be out when the next 360 patch comes out, and the PS3 patch will be a combination of the two 360 patches.

He's also dropped a couple hints that it's because of Sony that they have to do it this way. It kind of sounds like Sony will only let 2K release one more patch for this game....either that or they have placed a limit on how often they can release a patch, but Ron seems to indicate that Sony is not being as cooperative as Microsoft when it comes to patching 2K10.

Is $ony really worried this much about the competition. I mean 2k is nice this year, it actually feels as though I'm involved in the game not just pressing one button all game.

I dont think they are worried about 2k over taking The Show sales.No matter what they do their product still has that rep of being glitchy and messed up,and theirs doesnt.
TBH alot of the stuff is overlookable,i would just love to see a working stat sim engine,player progression that works(mostly for pitchers),and for the AI to stand for Artificial Intelligence instead of Artificial Idiocy.
