    I just played a game earlier (post patch) where the catcher dropped the 3rd strike,and my batter took off to 1st only to be gunned down.

    I've never encountered this pre-patch either.
    Did he just flat-out drop the ball? Or was it in the dirt?

      I've actually had it both ways.
      Last night I played a game against the Padres,Maddux was pitching,and on the 3rd strike I heard Joe say "he dropped the ball" and "he's running to first"...or something to that effect. It actually took me by surprise,but I've also had them bounce as well on a 3rd strike when I swing...then Joe will comment on how it was "in the dirt" then followed by "he's running to first".

      I've only been safe on one of those,but it was when the pitch bounced,and got by the catcher.

        Bought the game a few days ago since I was wanting a baseball game and its the only one for 360. ok a few things that are annoying me.

        1) I only hit pop-flys or homeruns. I NEVER hit a ground ball. Maybe ill switch to the old hit stick for contact.

        2) computer only throws strikes.

        3) Losing 14-3 is NOT fun and very unrealistic

        4) outfielders a SLLOOWWW

        There are just a few. Its really annoying me. Wishing i had a PS3 for "The Show", heard its pretty bad A$$

Every game something stupid happens and most of the time it costs me runs. it seems sometimes ill be running for a grounder and the player wont encounter the ball its like there isnt a ball there. the most frustrating thing is when I have an easy flyball Im running to get it and the game does that little hiccup so i catch it in stride and it jacks up the play. the worst is when im going for a fly and the dude will act like a ball isnt coming to him and itll drop at my feet and roll to the wall.
          Yes, and it only started happening to me post-patch. Every once in a while, it seems like the ball goes right through an infielder or my outfielder will spazz out and let an easy one drop. Weird.
          Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
          Sutcliffe comes through, and....

              I've witnessed and been part of some amazing plays with dropped third strikes.

              The other night, I played Red Sox (me) vs. Yankees. Ellsbury struck out on a pitch in the dirt, and took off for first. Posada's throw to first was high and sailed into right field. Ellsbury ended up on second.

              Pedroia sent the next pitch into the gap in right center. Abreu cut it off and held Pedroia to a single, but Ellsbury's speed allowed him to score from second.

              It was one of the most satisfying runs I've ever scored, because it was so random and screwy.

                Every one of these issues can be corrected with sliders.
                Check out the slider threads,as there's some really good ones.

                    I haven't played it online, but the word is, the online play is not any better.

                    Someone want to correct me if I am wrong?

                        Finally had the opportunity to fire up the freshly patched MLB 2K8 and love what I see. Although, since the patch, i've dropped 4 or my last six games! Luckily the Reds are in town so I can get back on a winning streak! LOL

                                I'm assuming that you save your settings in order to save your sliders, correct? (on the main menu) If that's the case, all you have to do is load your settings after you boot up a fresh franchise and you're good to go. I'm on the PS3.
