    I hope they fix players going into "spectator" mode

    One thing that bothered the hell out of me was players on the field suddenly turning into zombies when a play was going down.

    Wanna know what led me to this:




    Well here I am playing a league game and it was a tight one. Think it was extra innings but the scoring was very low. Well my opponent knocks one deep to left field. Matsui gets on his horse but doesn't time the wall and the ball's arrival correctly so he gets all discombobulated and goes into this long drawn out animation of trying to regain his balance and composure, not a problem because the CPU controlled Damon has already came over to back him up, at least so I thought. Well after the ball hits the wall it comes to a complete stop right at Damon's feet. Great, my opponent , who had a man on first running, wont make it home in time if I can get that throw off and I should have time to get him. Well what does Damon do while Matusi is still counting the birds flying in circles over his head, STANDS THERE. The ball is 6 inches from his feet and he just stands there. I'm trying desperately to switch to a zombified Damon and the cpu just would not give me control of him. He never bothers to pick up the ball and the guy scores and that's game.

    PLEASE FIX THIS. Because this IS A GAME KILLER.

    Hee-hee My second game with 2K7, the CPU bloops a single over Jeter's head, who ends up running into shallow left field. I field the ball with Matsui and chuck it to Cano on second, who gets the CPU in a rundown. I run Cano towards Giambi at first and toss him the ball. The CPU turns and runs towards second... and runs and runs and makes it in standing up, with no other Yankee player in sight. I'm like, "What the...?!?!"

    I go into replay mode to find out what happened to Jeter, and discover he spent the entire play standing beside Matsui out in LF. And that was one of the last games I played with 2K7, because programming logic that bad is a game killer, I agree.

          That coupled w/ the poor poor collision detection in 07 and the players just standing there doing the pee pee dance once the play was completely over killed my gameplay experience...

          It pissed me off so much on plays when there was a grounder back at the pitcher, and you would throw the ball to first or run to the base for the out just to see your pitcher STAND there and shuffle his feet back and forth until the animation took you back to the batters box/mound. I cringed everytime my pitcher had to make a play, or I caught a fly ball w/ my OF because the pee pee dance would ensue.

          I guess since it is 60 frames now this won't happen? I remember MVP 05 had the fielder walk back to there position...i want that.

                  The 60 fps wont help that situation. That's pure AI working there. Lets just hope that they realize it's there and needs to be fixed.

                      Yeah that is 2K6 I broke but 2K7 DID have the same problem. The exact same thing happened in 2K7.

                          Damn sure happened to me and more than once. In 2K6 it happened that one time, 2K7 at least 3 times it happened. Trust me bro, it's STILL in there.

                            I never had it happen in 2K7 as well, always just switched players.

                            I never played 2K6 (horrible), long enough to find out.
