Re: **MLB 2K8 (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

Phil Hughes knucklecurve is impossible to execute. The game keeps telling me I pitch a meatball even though i release the stick at the perfect time. Anyone having this problem or am I doing something wrong?

I can throw it pretty damn well, are you having any of the "pitching glitches" with the power?

As for that glitch, I experienced it for the first time today, when I changed my sliders - not sure if anyone thinks that may be a reason. Also, it was in franchise mode.

It absolutely drove me crazy, I gave up 15 runs and 20 hits in five innings because everything was a meatball. I went in to the pitching tutorial and never saw the problem in there. I do not know if it was w. men on base or not, I didn't pay attention to it.

I'm going to fire my 360 back up right now and see if this issue comes back again.

Re: **MLB 2K8 (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

Okay, I have two obnoxious glitches stemming from one problem. I tried searching through this thread to see if they're posted, but didn't see anything on a quick scan.

I had Boof Bonser and Scott Baker go down to injury in Franchise. When Bonser got hurt (15 days), I DL'ed him and called up Jerome Williams. Williams could NOT be selected from the pitching rotation screen, despite the fact that he was on my MLB team. I had to put Matt Guerrier into the rotation just to fill it out. Furthermore, when Baker came back from his injury (5 days), he was unavailable to put in the rotation. Stupid. Has anyone experienced this?

I talked about this earlier in the thread. It's a big problem and a game killer for me. People have to start reading previous posts. I know it's alot of pages, but alot of these are just getting repeated over and over.

Sorry, man. There was just no way I was reading 17 pages to see if it was mentioned.

I kinda see where you're coming from, but what's the point of continuing the thread if nobody is gonna go back and read it?

Because sometimes appropriate searches will come up with relevant posts. I searched. I didn't find your post. Anyhow, I hope there's a fix for this. This is a huge problem.

Everytime I pitch with Derek Lowe, the ball seems to stutter to plate. I don't see that with any other pitcher.

Re: **MLB 2K8 (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

By the way, this is a terrible (and stupid) work-around to our issue, but if you just remove a starter from the rotation, try to back out, and have the CPU "fix" your rotation, the missing guys will show up again.

PLEASE FIX THIS, 2K.

Play at the plate with throw coming in from LF, runner slides across home safely presumably scoring from 2B on a base hit. Catcher keeps foot on the plate and stretches for the ball as if it's a force play and the runner is somehow called out.

Two problems:

1. Catcher acted as if it was a force play and didn't even attempt to tag the runner.
2. Even if it had been a force play, the runner was clearly safe on the replay.

Oof.

I'm rather shocked no one else has mentioned this, as it is a major gameplay glitch. Maybe it's in another thread, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.

Earlier tonight I was the Rockies hosting the Phillies. The Phillies had 1st and 3rd with 1 out and they hit a routine fly ball to the outfield. The runner at 3rd tagged and I gunned home. The catcher came out a few feet in front of the plate and caught the ball as the runner easily slid in safe. Well, that's what I thought until 'double play' popped up on the screen. I have now seen this happen twice at home plate and once at 3rd. It happens on hits and tag ups. This is bad on so many levels. First of all, the defensive player doesn't even attempt a tag. Secondly, he's not even close to position to tag the runner. Finally, the ball doesn't even beat the runner. In any of these cases individually, the runner should be safe. When all 3 are happening and the runner is still safe, it's a major issue. Anyone else getting this?

I was created with a strikeout for a foul ball his with two strikes. The foul ball was not tipped into the catchers mit, it went into the stands.

A foul ball popped up behind the plate was not caught by the catcher. The catcher remained in his crouch behind the plate.

Not sure if this has been mention.

Thanks

About the play at the plate, I am wondering if it isn't him stretching as if it is a force play, bu tthe animation of him stretching for a bad throw.

And as far as the bad call goes. Looks like they added that in the equation often. I am seeing all kinds of pitches called for strikes that are clearly outside the zone.

I'm sure it sucked when it happened, but it does add some realism to the game.

Re: **MLB 2K8 (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

Ok, here are non-working features I think hasn't been mention due to more important related issues like the framerate Lag's and Choppiness's.

I know to some these are no "big deal" but I figure I mention them if this bug list is going to 2K for them to review and fix.



1) "Player Highlights" not working or its been taking out?...It's in the options as "on" but I have not seen any in Franchise or any mode.

2) "Scores from other games Ticker" This is not working. I haven't seen this pop-up in my Franchise yet unless its also been taken out or it is still broken like last year where you had to pause for 15 min for it to come up. (I did that but didn't see a ticker) If you are going to have this feature, please do it right or don't do it at all!! or have it taken out in the options menu.

3) "AI using Left handed players in positions where they should not be": ie, Catcher, 3B, 2B and SS. I can't believe this is still there...I remember seeing this in 2K4/2K5!!

That's it for now for option/features from me.


peace

I wasn't able to play the 2nd game in a double header. I found no way to even get to the game on the calender screen and was forced to simulate it.

I know we all wanted improved gameplay, but this is just ridiculous.

I've had some weirdness at the plate as well, tonight I was playing the Sox(me) vs KC they get 1st and 3rd with no one out. So I bring the IF in for a hopefull play at the plate. First batter hits a sharp grounder to 2nd, I charge the ball and gun home. The ball arived well in front of the runner but for some reason my C was three feet in front of home plate to 1st base side. The runner slides in right behind him safe. It hppened twice in the same game.
For whatever reason the C doesn't cover H properly all the time.



On a side note after my last game tonight my game froze. I had to restart and somehow my VIP was erased because when I go back into the game the cards I had earned and all sliders where at default.
