    patch coming?

    just curious if a patch is going to be coming out for this game. with nba 2k7, though we had to wait quite a while to actually get a patch, word came out pretty early that it was on it's way. then again, it seemed like more people were asking for one for the nba game. there doesn't seem to be the same demand for a patch with this game, but i for one would like to see one. no real game killers, but i would like to see the homeruns toned down (current sliders set all the way to 0 for power don't seem to do the trick) and i would like to see a few of the statistical bugs worked out as well (ERA). there are other minor things that i'm hoping will be fixed as well. any word on whether such a patch might be on its way?

      Can be fixed with player edits and/or by not pushing up on the swing stick. No need to wait for 2K to patch it (which ain't gonna happen BTW).

        Would love it if they could correct the scoring errors, ground rule doubles not scored correctly, walks not counting as earned runs if they come around to score, etc. If they can fix that then I will be happy, the roster management problem isnt going to get fixed, its been a problem for years and hasnt been fixed yet, hopefully this 3 year plan will allow someone to look at it and get it right for once, but I dont see it happening this year in a patch of any kind.

        EDIT- I suppose if they would finally go back to letting us control the CPU teams rosters, lineups etc then that would help remedy it until they can fix it for good.

          I'd be ecstatic if they added a decent fielding camera.

            if they ever do release a patch for anything, would we have to start a new franchise to get them to work? or will they work with a current franchise.

                I never understood why we have the option to do it in Exhibition mode and not in Franchise mode, etc.

                    user restraint on the power swing isn't really a fix. a patch that makes the power swing more realistic would be. and do you have some inside information that 2k isn't going to patch this game? seems to me that they eventually release a patch for most of their sports games over xbox live. i didn't get last years game, but i think i remember hearing that they did release a significant patch for it. my hunch would be that a patch will be released at some point. i just hope that homeruns are one thing that get addressed along with the statistical problems mentioned above. hopefully it doesn't take as long as the nba 2k7 patch.

                      MLB 2K5 was a mess and they never patched that. Their NHL series has been plagued with bugs, glitches and freeze issues for at least two years, and they've never patched that game.

                      They patched MLB 2K6 because it was completely unplayable. They fixed the freeze issue (for some at least) but never addressed any of the bugs, glitches or gameplay issues in the game.

                      People are dreaming IMO if they think Kush/2K is going to patch any of the issues with this game - none of which make the game unplayable - let alone fix the gameplay to make it less arcade and more sim. For goodness sake, they programmed the game to be a flyball/HR fest. That's how Kush envisions this series: fun, fun, fun with tons of home runs! And it's been that way with the 2K baseball series since Kush took it over three years ago.

                        I couldn't agree with you more. I figured Brinkman would have more of an effect this season, but so far it doesn't look that way. Although with some good sliders and a roster set this is pretty enjoyable.

                        As to answer the guys question about Dynasty mode: a patch would not affect your current dynasty. If things were patched it would be for the core gameplay, which would be universal to any gameplay mode.

                          so your basing your statements on cynicism. good, i was hoping that you didn't have any solid facts backing those claims up. so for now, i can still hope that 2k's recent track record of fixing bugs over xbox live.

                            Cynical isn't the word. When I see the patch or "a patch" for that matter...that's when I will start believing. I enjoy 2K games, but year after year, title after title...they are loaded with bugs. It just doesn't seem like they have any sort of Beta testing even in house.

                              which is one reason why i think we are seeing more patches. seems like the release dates get a little earlier every year and the games are being rushed out because they figure they can just patch them later. now, i would much prefer that they waited and tested a little more, caught the bugs and had the games moe fine tuned before they were released. however, i don't think that is going to happen with sports games anytime soon. so the best we can hope for is a timely patch that takes care of some of the issues that didn't get taken care of before release. and no, i'm not 100% sure that there will be a patch released for the game, but i certainly think that it is probable based on 2k's recent history. nba 2k7 was far from unplayable without a patch, but there were some issues that should have been fixed and a patch was released. same for nba 2k6 if i remember correctly and there was a patch for last years baseball game. so i think it is very likely we'll be seeing some kind of fix for some of the problems with this game. i was just hoping there was some more concrete info as to specifics.
