Well considering they fixed the issue many of us were having here regarding one of the living rosters causing us to have the game lock up when loading any downloaded roster maybe the do hope to fix it with a patch if it is possible to do. I realize that was fixed with another living roster, but one of the developers did post in the thread saying they had been working on it for much of that day and when it was fixed he said that it would be fixed with the next roster update.

Hopefully they are able to fix this, but it does seem like a much bigger issue and not just a bug. It is odd that they let it go like this, but even with this I am still enjoying the game so far.

Yep. The last I heard was that they were "looking into it". My guess is that they're "looking into it" for next year.

A lot of negativity so early on. Lets have hope.

I just wish 2K had some better PR. All the mods are doing over at their forum is locking every thread that mentions a patch and saying that there "no confirmation or solid info that a patch is even being worked on".

WOW, that's really comforting

If 2K had a clue, they would make an official announcement that they are aware of the issues and are working hard to fix them ASAP, and then keep us updated as progress is made with the patch. But instead, we're left in the dark without any idea of whether they actually care or not. I mean, sure we assume they do care and are working on it, but without an official word, it's really hard to trust them after what happened last year..........yes, I know we're dealing with different developers, but it still sucks not knowing.

All it would take is some simple PR communication right now to lift our spirits and ease our doubts. But unfortunately 2K seems to be in the dark ages when it comes to PR techniques.

It's very frustrating......

I agree. There's been no real indication if/what/when anything will be fixed.

I blame myself for not waiting to buy this later. However I'm dumping mine on Ebay now before it's too late. It'll end up costing me about 10 bucks now.

If it gets better with patches I can pick it up later.

I still hope they fix these issues. But I've had enough of this. This series is a bust IMO.

It's worse than that. There's this one mod there, CrazyCougar or something like that, who's chastising everyone who makes a negative comment about the game, and I'm hearing he's also deleting the particularly scathing critiques.

CrazyCougar is a stupid *******. That forum is a joke. jeffy is exactly right. They need to let us know something is being worked on.

2k sports is the absolute worst at Marketing and communicating post release.

The last 2k sports game I foolishly paid retail $60 for was a bug infested game with a decent engine underneath. What happens post release? They went on vacation. The forum mods shut down thread after thread. They acknowledged they were aware of our posts....and then didn't do a darn thing.

Last time I buy a 2k game retail. I just picked up MLB 2k7 for $9. Now thats worth it. But I knew going in that if I didn't like it, no big deal. And thats exactly how I'm going to treat 2k games in the future. Buy them at a discount and know they have flaws, hence I didn't pay a premium for the product.

They'll be out of business soon enough.

I know we don't have a time table, but several mods on the 2K boards and here have said Visual Concepts is working on a fix. Last year, a patch took a month to come out; I imagine it will be the same this year.

Let's please keep this on-topic. No need to harp on modding behavior at the 2K forums. Thanks...

I would be extremely disappointed if there isn't a patch to improve the AI hitting (and some other stuff). I've only played a few innings of the retail version, but my time with the demo and all the feedback from the community indicates that a patch is the only hope for this issue. Ideally, I'd like for them to add in the AI batting tendency sliders that were present in 2K8, as I was able to get acceptable ABs from the AI batters with them. The IE walks rating could also be a culprit, but even if that were to be fixed to positive effect, I'd still like to have tendency sliders to play with...

I'd love sliders to play with, too. I worry that may be beyond a patch, though. I can't remember a sports game that added sliders via a patch.

Forgive my ignorance, but just how much is patchable and what isn't?

Wow. Is this why people want individual presence from 2k here on the forums? So people can come off as complete jerks?

Forgot to mention that game was Prizefighter. Paid $60 and no patches which was a blown opportunity big time as there was no boxing competition. Conversely, they did a very nice job of patching NCaa 2k8 despite the fact they were discontinuing the series, but we had to harp on them alot over here as posts on their 2k forums board fell on deaf ears.

To everyone who bought this game, I sincerely hope you get what you paid for and they patch this game to fix this issue. I find 2k7 to be a pretty solid game and I'm sure this can be too if its fixed. But they really need to look at their forums over there and see what can be done to improve communication with their customers.

Actually, I think 2k7 added some sliders with a patch I believe. Or was is the option for fielding view. I forget but I think it can be done though.
