Walks?
I haven't played the Demo yet, but was wondering if you guys are seeing a real amounts of walks (both for the CPU and yourself) while playing?

Re: Walks?
I haven't had a single one in 10+ games (that wasn't intentional). The user pitching is too precise to walk someone unless you do it on purpose. The CPU doesn't throw many balls either. I have had one 3-0 count but it quickly became 3-2 and I hit a HR on the next pitch.
Sliders may help this, who knows. -

Re: Walks?
Was this a community problem in 2K8? I know it was in 2K7, but can't remember if it was one of the mentioned game killers of 2K8.
I only bring this up because after a several month hiatus from 2K8, I have been playing it recently and have drawn a ton of walks (non of which were 4 pitch walks, but many 5 and 6 pitch walks). The other night against AJ Burnette, I walked 5 times in three innings before he was pulled and then drew another 3 walks off the relievers. This was by far the high total, but in the other games (probably close to 10 total games) I've been averaging about 3 walks per game and have had atleast one in every game.
I don't know who's sliders I have saved in there, but it's been a nice suprise as I thought this had been an issue.Comment

I did manage to walk someone - 2nd/3rd, Howard at the plate, I walked him on a full count. I was trying to nibble.Comment

Re: Walks?
I've let the computer throw pitches to me without swinging as an experiment during 3 innings. Computer never threw more than 1 ball in a row during that test (though I've seen 2 in a row before.)Comment

Re: Walks?
That kind of experiment might not necessarily work, because if you don't swing at all, computer might be adapting to it and keeps throwing strikes, which would be lifelike.Comment

Re: Walks?
I as a rule usually don't start swinging untill I have a strike in the count. Over the course of a few innings it gets the pitch count up and more balls thrown upping the walk total a little bit. I usually get 1-2 a game.Gaming hard since 1988
I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.Comment

Re: Walks?
If you are patient, yep, I had 4 straight balls thrown just my last game. Keep in mind there are sliders for this, and 3 higher difficulties.Comment
