    Lineup Bugs, FA signings, and Player Progression

    It is official... *Note* this was tested on GM Mode.

    I simulated a season and none of these problems have been fixed.

    Lineups - In the season simmed Pujols played only 124 games due to injury. The next season I started simming, and in 2008 he did not play a single game and remained in AAA. This year you cannot even change CPU lineups. Needless to say this sucks. The best player in the game is not even playing because of this stupid glitch.

    FIX IT 2K!!!!!!!!

    FA signings - Once I got to the FA signings players like Scott Kazmir, Justin Morneau(06 MVP), Scott Linebrink, Mark Teahen (pretty much the Royals' future), Francisco Cordero, Garrett Atkins, Mike Cameron, and some other stars whose names I forgot to write down were available.

    First off TB would never part w/ Kazmir. He is there ace, and Morneau!? How would the Twins replace his production. This is BS.

    FIX IT 2K!!!!!!!!!!

    Player Progression - I'm the Phils... Ryan Howard started the 07 season rated a 94. At the start of the next season he is a 91. Here's his line .302 avg, 43 HR, and 132 RBI, and he went down a whole 3 points overall! Utley was a 90 and he went down to an 89. He hit .327 w/ 35 HR and 101 RBI. How does he go down a point?!?! He should be a 99! Cole Hamels went up only 2 points from 78 to 80 after posting a record of 17-6, a 4.30 ERA, 143 K's in 188 IP's.

    Needless to say the game modes are greatly flawed, and suck donkey balls!

    If you like to play on-line more than you do a Franchise then this game is for you, but I don't think that anyone really wants to put up with this stupid franchise or GM mode. It is such a headache to know Pujols might not ever even play in another game in your franchise because of a stupid glitch which keeps him in the minors.

    FRUSTRATING!

    Great. Try the same using the Franchise mode, just to cross-check and verify. It's looking like I won't be picking this up until I hear some confirmation from 2K that they will patch these issues.

      Also, what happens if you shuffle the deck so to speak and do a franchise or a manager mode where you do the fantasy draft of the whole league. What happens then?

        I still say the only way around this is to turn off injuries but that wont totally curtail the players sitting in free agency and not getting resigned. Hopefully if players cant get injured the teams will be more inclined to keep players since they are still in the big leagues and producing but only time will tell I guess.

          I don't understand why anyone would expect a patch for this. It's been a lingering problem in the 2K series for a while now. If they cared enough to fix it, it coulda been done a year ago.

            I understand what you are saying but I think some hope is there because they atleast patched the problems with the NBA 2k game, if memory serves, and fixed some problems with the roster management with that game. The downside is it took a really long time to get it done and out for the consumers to use, but I think thats where a lot of the hope comes from.

              So, is the deal with the free agents that they won't sign with anyone, or is it just that they're available that bothers you guys!??? Please clarify.

              If it's that they're merely available but they'll sign with teams (possibly you), then I don't think that's a huge issue...

                Ive seen them sit in free agency and not get signed by anyone at all. I suppose there could be different results for different people but this is what Ive seen and heard from other people. I believe someone else was saying that players like Morneau were dropped and never picked back up in free agency, doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

                  Crap, I picked the game up yesterday. I play Franchise and I knew I should have waited for more reviews, but the bug got me.

                    Really, really wanted this game, looks like it's the show again this year.

                      Has anyone checked to see how younger players progressed? Like, is it possible that in a season or two that a young kid in the Minors can progress enough to not get killed at the ML level?

                        Havent simulated that far in advance to find out but according to other sites they go up no more then 4 per season, with some players actually dropping after good season, ie. Ryan Howard dropping 3 points even though he put up great numbers and Utley did the same thing.

                          I'll try the above... Don't hold your breath though. All these problems are probably due to the crappy game engine that 2K has built. I don't really think there is a way around it.

                            this sucks. If turning off injuries can make it better I can deal with that. Otherwise I am going to be pissed.

                              cant a patch install a code in the game for this that would fix it?



                              C'mon Brinkman, don't fail us now! Put up a great game but is in jeopardy of failure because of a simple glitch that wasn't present in your MVP series!
