Prolly a dumb? I havent played this game sime last year some time. When I pop it in and fire it up will they down load the todays rosters or will it be were I left off last?

I swore previous versions of MLB 2k allowed you to use custom AB music, am I missing something with 2k13 or is it no longer a feature?

Tigers Franchise:

I got lit-up by the Jays today, losing 10-4.
Sanchez got knocked out by the 5th inning, giving up 7 runs. E-5 hit a BOMB to left-field that was beyond a no-doubter.

At least Miggy went 3-4 with an oppo-boppo. Kinsler also hit a no-doubter (to LF).
I almost made it 6-6 in the 4th when Castellanos had 2 guys on and drilled a shot to deep left-centre. It was about 2' short of a homer.

Angry and embarrassed, we flew out to Oakland to start a 3-game set with the A's.
Poor Sonny Gray took the brunt of my anger as I smashed Oakland 10-4 and knocked Gray from the game after 4 innings and 70+ pitches.
Kinsler and V-Mart went deep and Miggy went 4-5 with 2 doubles.
Scherzer pitched pretty well and left the game when it was 9-3 after 6 innings. It was also nice to give an ailing Nathan some time off and give guys like Krohl and Rondon some innings.

I just love the presentation. They show highlights throughout the game, talk about key matchup's happening around the league and the insight provided by the commentating crew is so deep and actually worthwhile, I find myself taking their advice.

And I don't feel that I can give enough praise for Hitters Eye. I can really work the counts and when a pitcher starts to feel fatigued or lose composure, more and more pitches get tipped.
I average about 3 walks a game which is way more than I get in any other baseball game.

I will be more than happy playing this game for the next year or two.
Eventually, I may upgrade consoles solely for NHL 15, but I'll make sure to keep the PS3 around for MLB2K13.

Is there a bug on double steals? When the CPU has done it I hit square to throw to third and my catcher just throws it to the pitcher.

My PS3 The Show playlist loads on this game but getting it to work was a PITA. It's in the sub menu but they made it harder than it needed to be.

I have had this for quite some time for the 360 didn't play it much and just got it for the PS3 a couple of days ago.

The game is not photo realistic by any means and quite a few of the animations are not linked together properly. But... the game is fun to play. Pitching and hitting are quite good. With the right cam angles the fielding is OK. Overall it's a good game and it deserved to live. Too bad actually.

How did you get your Show playlist to load?

Also, can you get rid of the big yellow circle when pitching?

just picked this up again and played a game with the default rosters.
I loved this game but I forgot just how much.

Got spanked playing as the Jays against JV and the Tigers.
He was on point the entire game and pitched a nearly flawless 8 innings. His only mistake was serving up a meatball to Colby Rasmus, which I deposited just over the CF wall.
That was the only hit he gave up in the game. He also recorded 14 K's.
It's been a while since I've played so I'm really rusty. But he was painting corners and keeping me off balance using his 100MPH fastball and 85MPH curve.

Meanwhile, after a pretty good first two innings, RA Dickey's wheel's fell off and was yanked after 5.1 innings after surrendering 6 runs.

Final score, 9-1 Tigers.

The sounds, the gameplay... oh how I missed you MLB2K13!
I have a sound bar and the rear speakers are very close to the couch I play on. I started laughing when I heard a woman scream "Put one in Lake Ontario Cabrera!" when Melky was up to bat.
Such a great game!
