    Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

    I have noticed in the demo that on a throw to first base the first baseman lunges for everything. Even if the play is not close. Does this happen in the retail version?

        in play now mode is there an option to choose different starting pitchers and edit the lineups before you play like in 2k7.

        in 2k8, the game automatically gave you your starting pitcher and you could not choose your 2nd string pitcher unless you change it in the pitching rotation depth chart beforehand.

          if you go to game modes exhibition you have total control over all of that; starting pitcher, batting order, uniform, maybe even the weather i don't know

              You cannot adjust the CPU Line-up including Starting Pitcher in Play Now Mode...

                in play now mode:

                you can change your line ups and pitchers and defensive positions and weather and time of day and stadium

                but you cant edit anything for the cpu

                so you will always play vs the other teams ace

                unless you do what somebody suggested which is create 4 diff roster files for play now and in each just change the pitching rotations around and use the roster named starter #2 or 3 or 4

                sucks but that is what we have to deal with

                  - Is there a franchise news/headline tracker like 2K's MLB.COM where I can read things about my franchise and also the MLB on a day to day basis with pictures as well?

                  - I've seen pics of a Tony Gwyn statue outside of Petco Park in San Diego, is there something like this shown for each team outside the stadium prior to a franchise game.?

                  - How does the CPU handle the trading of star players?

                  - How does the CPU handle free agent signings?

                  - Is there a GM aspect of the franchise mode where I can change ticket prices, transportation, overall budget, and is there any owner goals that I have to meet?

                  - Do players have personality traits that will effect either team chemistry or free agent signings?

                    Free Agnets don't sign and top players get released as "CAP CASUALTIES" but a patch is in place for this on tuesday.

                      I hadn't heard this, but had a feeling it was tied to the throw meter. Thanks, Guru!

                            Just got an interesting trade proposal from the Rays ...

                            Crawford
                            Kazmir
                            Shields

                            for

                            Castillo
                            Reyes
                            Wright

                            Apparently they think Jim Duquette is still in charge.

                            Anyway, simmmed through season one to take a look at the offseason. Mets vs. Yankees in the World Series.

                              1. Can you use classic swing and classic pitch controls. For ex, hitting just pressing a button and holding the direction you want the ball to go? For pitching some kind of regular meter or any way you don't have to move around the analog to throw certain pitches? (like 2k7)
                              2. Can you give us a list of what you can edit, I know you stated accessories but something like, cleats, batting gloves, really worried about the gray cleats on the rays. I hope all the teams are not set to a team color and there fore we can't change them. Thanks for the insight.
                              1) Yes.

                              2) Full control to edit equipment as if the player was brand new. So if you wanted to go into the roster while in a franchise and edit every players shoes you could.

                                Anyway, regarding cursor hitting. Will we somehow influence where we want to place the ball on the field? I.E., (right handed hitter) to pull, swing early, or to go with the pitch, swing late. Flyballs or groundballs?
                                Yes, this is what the left stick is for. If you are a righty ...

                                L - Pull
                                L and D - Groundball pull
                                L and U - Flyball pull
                                U - Flyball
                                D - Groundball
                                R - Opposite field
                                R and D - Groundball opposite way
                                R and U - Flyball opposite way

                                Really helps with situational hitting. i.e. Reyes gets on, steals second, then have Castillo try and hit a grounder to the right side of the infield to advance Reyes to third.
