    Re: 2K8 Patch Available: Official Post Patch Impressions

    Perhaps coincidence, but in my second game post-patch, Victor Martinez of all people tried to swipe second on me. Just the second SB attempt I've seen in somewhere around 50 games (had the SB sliders maxed out pretty much from the start).

      Im pretty sure the steals we are seeing is the CPU hitting and running.. In that case has anyone played with hit and run slider maxed?? Ill try some in the morning

        Did some slider tweaks and played my first post patch game. Besides the improvements others have mentioned I saw two things that I've never seen before 40 games into my franchise (yes I play them all).

        #1 A steal! Ok I've seen about 2 in 40 games but this one caught me totally off guard. Maybe dumb luck, but one game, one steal (steal 2nd slider maxed btw).

        #2. A curtain call! I've never seen the cut scene where the player comes out of the dugout to tip his cap. Again maybe dumb luck but that's a first for me.

        Loving the patch! Especially the strike zone now.

          i've seen a pitcher's curtain call (pre-patch) after pitching a great game and getting taken out. seems to only happen in close games too. i've never seen one for homers or anything else though. the pitchers one is really cool though and seems to happen only when the performance was great (i got it when cole hamels pitched 8 innings, gave up 1 walk, 1 hit, had 10 strikeouts, and gave up no runs in a 2-0 win). i might be wrong on this, but i may have seen this animation is last year's game as well.

            balls outside or even touching the strikezones are no longer called strikes. (however depending on how much of the ball touches the perimeter of the strikezone, some times strikes will be called) But this has now been more toned down


            Totally agree. Took me about an inning to notice no more "fake" outside strikes. They definitely tweaked things...

              Do we know when "opening day" rosters will be available?
              The guy from 2k said about 2 weeks.. that was about 3-4 days ago.

                Quick question, did the patch fix the 2 second delay during the batter walk-up where the camera freezes on the player.

                  Is anyone having a problem with baserunning post-patch? If I hit LT to advance one runner, it sometimes advances all of them.

                  Thanks

                    Unfortunatley, they didn't fix that rotation glitch in franchise mode.

                      did they fix the cpu stealing base problem, the rained out games problem and the pitcher sim injury problem?

                        It was never a problem to begin with. If you don't have your runner highlighted (L stick), then pulling the L trigger WILL advance all your baserunners.

                        Make sure to highlight which runner you want to advance.
                        People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

                          Do the outfielders still do the slowdown/speed up routine in the OF or has the patch fixed that?

                            This is crazy!!!!! Why is everyone so sure that this "PATCH" has fixed anything? All you people are doing is trying to convince yourselves that this game is even decent..........News Flash......IT BLOWS!!!!! The faces suck,it has crappy stuttering replays, it has stupid looking lineup introductions where you only always see the number 3 batter on deck, the framerate wasnt fixed, online play is simply Horrendous, It looks cartoonish...Its a joke. Just buy a PS3 and play the show till 2012 when the licensing runs out.MLB The Show kicks this game in the nuts so BAD!!!!!

                              Are we sure that steals weren't addressed in this patch? I've now played 3 post patch games and have had 2 steal attempts against me. I think I've seen 2 in about 40 before that.

                                You know you are prolly going to get bashed for this but I will have to say I agree with you. Ive tried to get into this game but I just cant. I guess if I had only a 360 I would defend it to no end and force myself to like it but I am fortunate enough to have a PS3 as well and cant stop playing the show. Each time i try to play MLB2k8, i would have to stop bc I cant stand the way it looks. I then pop in the Show for my PS3 and feel lucky to own a PS3 as well as a 360. Im hoping next yr 2k puts out a better game!!
