Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&A)

TJdaSportsGuy,


I am a fan of player editting so here are my questions (This would be in the roster section. Not the create-a-player but the MLB players):

1. Can u change the size of the player's jersey ala 2K8 and 2K7 which the options were Tight / Normal / Loose ?

2. Also can u change the size of the pants and pants length ala 2K8 and 2K7? I am really interested in "Baggy" / "Super Baggy" and the "Extra Long" options for the pants the most.

The options in 2K7 and 2K8 were: Tight/ Normal / Baggy / Super Baggy
The options for pant length were: Tucked / Normal / Long / Extra Long.

3. Lastly, there was an option for the "undershirt sleeves hot/cold" that I noticed in Steve_OS's screenshots. The option that I am looking for that was in 2K7 and 2K8 is "3/4's Above The Elbow." It basically is the sleeves that are cut at the elbow and not the 3/4 sleeves.

Thanks so very much. Later

Excellent, you can customize almost everything.

Could you see how many uniforms each team has? Do the Cubs wear gray pants with their alternate jersey on the road?

To piggy back this, are all uniforms available for each team or are some of them locked?

Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&amp;A)

Any different fielding views available in the options?

Was there an injury slider?

That's it.

Thank you... I am cautiously optimistic that I will be able to customize these settings again this year for a fairly accurate representation of a "SIM" type game.

Thanks again for checking these for us.

It does. I am very happy to see this being a fan of realistic pitch counts and user generated walks. Still, I am kind of bummed there is no "CPU take pitch overall" slider... Oh well, going to have to edit each players aggressiveness manually this year.

Between the animation of the guy taking his warm up routine int eh batter's box and when he is actually ready to hit the ball, is the transition fairly seamless, or is there a noticable *hiccup* as he sanps into the hitting poistion.

Ahhh, it's VERY slight and I never would've noticed it had you guys not sent me out looking for it. :wink:

Could you see how many uniforms each team has? Do the Cubs wear gray pants with their alternate jersey on the road?

Nope...they're wearing their white pinstripe pants.

Are the Washington Nationals new Blue alternate uniforms in the game? Also do you know if the ivy at Wrigley changes colors? Thanks

Yes, the Nats have the new blue alternates with the DC on the front and the American Flag design in the DC letters. Very nice looking jersey. Don't know about the ivy. I'd have to sim a franchise to answer that and I'm not really up for that right now.

How many minor league and spring training stadiums are in the game?

Unless I'm missing something, I believe there are only 3. If I go to start an exhibition game, the only 3 stadiums that aren't real MLB ballparks are Metro Stadium, City Park, and Municipal Field. Oh, and the Polo Grounds and 2009 All-Star Stadium are there as well.

Though it has been assumed from Steve's screen shots, it's official that there is no Step Influence

Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&amp;A)

I got a copy too so I'm willing to help Chase answer any of your questions.

EDIT: Oh, and for proof...

TJdaSportsGuy can you confirm that you can pick 30 users as franchise ?

You probably can only play minor league games in Franchise mode.

Looks like they're all available from the get go.

Any different fielding views available in the options?

Nope, you can only change camera angles for pitching and hitting.

Was there an injury slider?

Not that I saw.

TJdaSportsGuy can you confirm that you can pick 30 users as franchise ?

Yep, you can do 30 user controlled teams.

Hey Trev....

What do you figure "AI Batting Pitch Influence" means?

Does this mean that with this selection turned down, you can sneak a fastball by the AI hitter as opposed to him swinging at everything, or does this mean that if his IE says he swings at 80% fastballs, we can tone down his propensity for swinging at balls he recognizes as hittable?

thoughts?
