Man I'm in a tough 1 right now 4-4. Top 10 Yanks V DBacks.

EDIT: Lost 5-4 in 12. Here's a screen of the DBacks managing their bullpen. I think it was realistic. Sipp could have been pulled 1 inning earlier but he never was in trouble.

Jeter throwing error to start the 12th cost me. Great game all around

You were talking about what makes this game the type of game where you want to stay and play and how for some reason it draws your attention. As you said, the pitcher/batter experience, along with the commentary, has something going for it to where you can sit and just enjoy it. They break down so many things like where you are putting the ball on first pitches, what struck a guy out or what pitch you threw when he hit it out...it just makes for a very enjoyable core of baseball experience.

Somewhere along the way, this series was written off because of washed up colors and missing elements in various stadiums. That has been the "why this game sucks" for a long time. In no way am I saying the game is perfect, but looking back at how this game played with 2K8 etc., it has been greatly improved.

BigJoe,

Are you still rolling with the sliders you have in the first post of your thread from 2K12? Seeing any HRs and extra base hits by the CPU?

Yes I am. The only changes right now are for IF/OF Speeds & Base Runner Speed.

IF Speed 15/OF Speed 25 Base Runner Speed 45

As for extra base hits I am seeing them. I'm trying to balance the way OF take angles to balls along with the way balls are coming off the bats this year.

Not to mention the way balls are rolling on the grass when hit, which this year seem different than other years. The ball seems to just keep going instead of dying due to the grass

Is it still a requirement to have the strikezone ON in order for the Hitter's eye (text thing) to work?

I believe so.

+ Pitching
+++ Pitcher/batter battle
+ Commentary in general
+ Roster update and highlight uploads for silver memebers.

--- Fielding. Had numerous glitches including the CF turning around and running backwards,2 players in position to catch a ball and neither doing so and general Josh Hamiltoning it up. Also had massive problems trying to run to the bag at second that seemed animation related and it also seems trying to pre-load a throw too early results in the initial throw being cancelled. (Hold Y to throw to 2nd,hold B too soon and it threw to 1st instead.)
- Bad simming in franchise. (Destroying lineups,got 2 players stuck in AAA,no situational awareness etc.)
- Actual batting still not up to par.
- Some choppy/robotic animations.
- Commentary really bad sometimes. (Late inning thing,saying "save him for tomrrow" when there clearly won't be a tomorrow.)
- The perfect game,LCS and WS celebrations are all exactly the same.
- Severly outdated portaits and player faces. Romo doesn't even have a beard in game! Ironically has it in the portrait. Scutaro is wearing a Red Sox hat...that was 2 teams ago.

? Not sure about this one but it appeared the just drafted rookie I had to put in thanks to Blanco and Torres being stuck had long hair when playing the field and appeared to be bald when at bat. His portrait also looked like he didn't have eyebrows and was made of clay.

They got the most important thing right so it's enjoyable overall but they screwed up a lot and there's a very clear lack of effort in places. I'd consider it for $20 but it has no bussiness being $60.
