Not that I'm ungrateful, because I certainly am not... but would it pain Visual Concepts/Take 2 just to pop in on the boards or respond to Chase/Steve's e-mails about batter aggressiveness?

It's becoming the big pink elephant in the room.

If you could choose one issue to be fixed would it be batter aggresivness or ability to edit sig stances and wind ups?

Not trying to be negative on the game or overly sarcastic, but when they use their demo as a de facto beta test every year (and it turns out the game has major gameplay or performance issues), I don't want to be greated with a post telling me on how they've been working hard to address the 15-year-franchise-8-way-tiebreaker problem. What about the "can't throw harder than a weak lob on a double play attempt" problem?

Stances/Windups, unlimited editing. I can deal with the aggressiveness. Not being able to fully edit my rosters as I have been able to in years past is a game killer.

Is the patch actually on line now?

I beleive pasta padre had reported that after year 1 in franchise all of the rosters get messed up and signifigant players go unsigned. basically saying franchise is completely busted, I have seen much mentioned of it since then. was it a false alert or is there another patch? has 2k confirmed these issues?

have you been in a cave or under a rock? sorry not trying to bust you out but pasta wasn't the first to confirm this and yes 2k has already admitted they know of the problem and there will be a patched released as of tomorrow to fix the franchise bug, it's in numerous threads lots of people are talking about it

Guess I have been under a rock cause there is no mention of a franchise fix in the listed patch fixes other than the 15 year thing.

you must have been under a rock too in 2nd grade when everyone else learned how to read... it is mention in plain english

Haven't you played the demo?
The CPU batters will rarely take any pitches in the strike zone. I've played 20 or so games of the demo & I've only seen an AI batter take a first pitch strike 3 or 4 times. Supposedly the final retail version is the same way & theres no take pitch sliders.

I seriously don't see how so many could be more concerned about editing stances, as opposed to having a realistic playing game of baseball! I'm all for authentic batting stances & all, but the AI has got be functioning correctly/realistically above ALL else IMO.

I can't agree with you more. The fun of sports games to me is replicating the fun of sport. The licenses are gravy, but if i had a choice between the The Show with generics and legends (ala APF, wow that would be awesome) or MLB 2k9, i know in a heartbeat which I'd choose.

Totally agree with you, brotha.
