    Patch #2 (if there is one) - What would be your patch preferences?

    Hopefully Patch #2 is in the works...these are many of the top "concerns" I have noticed on both the OS and the 2K boards. List your concerns in your order form most important to least important...or just list your top 3 or 5.

    Even if you haven't played the retail version, feel free to chime in as for some, a future patch of the currently exposed problems will be the determining factor of whether they purchase or not.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    A) Fix AI batting agressiveness so that they take as close to as many strikes as realistically possible

    B) Add back ability to assign and edit batting stances and pitcher deliveries to all players (created and existing)

    C) Fix Collision or lack of it. This would include players not running through each other as well as the ability to break up double plays

    D) Bring back sliders that were available in previous editions of this game and appear to be necessary to properly tweak this game

    E) Bring back editable player ratings that were available in previous editions of this game and appear to be necessary to properly tweak this game

    F) Update player profile pictures so that every MLB player has a real picture and is wearing the correct hat

    G) Remove any limits that may have been set that limits the number of edits we can do so that those who wish to do so can make the games roster as real and up to date as possible.

    H) Fix any stutters in animations that cause a player to misplay or run by/through a ball that should be a routine catch (not actual errors made by the players, but by the game).

    I) Make it so there is an option to turn off many or all of the onscreen "fluff" such as swing feedback, strike zones, pitch cursors, pitch markers, etc.

    J) Bring back step influence to all swing stick hitting systems (cursor/zone and timing with influence)

    -------------------------------------------------------
    My list:

    1-A
    2-B
    3-D
    4-E
    5-G
    6-C
    7-H
    8-I
    9-J
    10-F
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    I probably should have made a poll, but oh well.

          A would be nice. I don't think they can actually "patch" B, but if they could that'd be good, too. But a lot of that other stuff I don't think they can really patch, if its embedded in the disk. Be cool if they could though.

            I'm never going to say never, but I think "C", or the collision issue, would warrant a complete overhaul in the system. The devs for the Show have the same issue, and they mentioned that it would be a huge undertaking. I'm guessing that when you start designing an animation system you figure that it's not like football as collisions between players happen so infrequently - therefore the decision is made to work on other things.

              Option I-(fluff) should be addable without too much extra code I would think.

              Colored Flash ON/OFF
              Strike Zone ON/OFF

              I prefer a "clean" batter/pitcher interface, hope they add these options.

                Can you add sliders via a downloadable patch?

                But make it optional. I personally don't like the step influence.

                  adding sliders sounds way too hard for me. they rebuilt the gameplay, so they would presumably have to redo the way sliders work. going back snd tweaking would probably be a lot of work

                    Damn you cover it all for me. I just cant believe all of this is missing from this game freaking unbelievable. There is no excuse for this i dont care if this game was rebuild. There is no freaking excuse for this to happen at all. MLB2k9 was the last chance i gave 2k to rebound, im not waiting for next year sick and tired of oh man wait til next year excuse. Sick and tired of that ****ty excuse.

                      Everything that you listed, and the batting stance snap that happens after a batter does his little routine.

                        I know in 2K7 they added a whole new camera view as well as an option within the menu's to switch between the old and new camera view...not sure how that correlates to sliders or what not, but the bottom line really for me is if they can get the AI hitter agressiveness to a more realistic level, then everything else sounds like it's workable and maybe additional sliders aren't needed.

                          I'd hate to break it to you, but most of the suggestions on the first post are most likely unpatchable. I don't think that they will be able to create new options unless the game was set up for it. Out of all of those, A and F are the only ones that look like they could be fixed via downloadable patch.

                            I'd say a few more than A and F are possible via patch.

                            Adding in the option to edit a player's stance / delivery isn't that hard to do. Granted i doubt 2k will do that since they want to push the whole "living rosters" thing.

                            I believe there were talks at some point of EA putting out CPU sliders for Madden 09 (which were just randomly taken out to push the new My Skill feature). Granted it never happened but they did say they were planning on it.

                            A lot more can be done in patches / DLC than people expect. It just boils down to if 2k wants to spend the time / resources to make the game complete.

                              If they don't patch the editing issues it's a no purchase for me.

                              I still have no clue why this is a problem since going back to 2004 you could edit pretty much anything with no limit on how many players.
