I haven't misplayed a single ball in the outfield, and I've played about 15 games.

One thing i found out if you try to move the jerk the outfielder right before the bal gets ther,e he will miss it. You have to do it smoothly.

While i know there is a problem with home runs, i have yet to see 20 run game. highest scoring game i have had was 8-7 combines total of 4 or 5 home runs. THen again, i dont play throwing strikes. If someone is going to swing at everything, i will throw balls alll day long until he forces me to throw a strike. Call it cheesing or whatever, but its not my fault if people dont have plate discipline.

Re: patch # 2 announced

I suspect it took so long to get confirmation about a patch because, on some level, developers had to figure out if the batting aggressiveness was something that could be fixed quickly.

Regardless, I'm thrilled. I like the game right now as is. This fix will just make it all the more enjoyable.

I agree. If they were working on the game to see what they could and couldn't fix with a patch, why would they announce a patch was coming? Better to waste until they knew for sure what they were going to be able to fix and that it was going to get done. Some are saying this is late, but it seems pretty quick to me overall. Of course we all would prefer these problems never came up in the first place, but they are obviously trying to be a lot better than the previous developer was about such things. We never heard anything from them it seemed.

I am still have a lot of fun with the game, so any improvements they make will just make it that much better for me. I hope it does enough to make it enjoyable to those here that aren't having much fun with the game or even stopped playing it already.

I am between 15 and 20 games into my franchise, but I may start a new one anyway as I had some issues with my sliders getting all messed up and it took me a few games to get them back to where they were when I started it.

Re: OF dropping fly balls-I had that problem every single game when I had the ball landing zone (or whatever it is called) set on "locked." After changing it to dynamic (where it moves slightly with the wind or ball direction right up to the time of the catch), I haven't had a single occurrence in probably 7-8 games. I agree it is a problem though because if they give you the option to lock the landing zone, you should be able to properly field a fly ball. In the meantime, you might want to check that setting.

I think there is something to this, I have never used locked and saw my first problem last night for the first time in about 15 games. I also have never seen the 1b thing.

Not saying it doesn't exist but I have not seen it. I try to move the guy last minute into his spot instead of him standing there and i also preload a thorw to a cut-off man if routine.

i agree, I also play dynamic and have not seen this issue as of yet. maybe it doesn't happen on dynamic?

Maybe there is a bug with locked where it sometimes locks in the wrong spot so the fielder misplays the ball.

Finn, I have to ask........ANY chance you could crack the MLB 2K save structure?? I am still amazed at your NFL work and that game continues to spin in my xbox. If this has been asked of you I apologize.

That right there is an unfortunate screen name.

see i didn't know what people were talking about until like 2 days ago, as i had played 20 or so games offline, then in a league game online it happened to me. i was just like WTF??? and at that moment i realized what people were saying, can be frustraiting if it happens over and over in the same game

Re: patch # 2 announced

Can anyone list off what is rumored or anounced to be fixed in Patch #2?

Lets get back on topic here. are they going to address the issue of realistic gameplay? Meaning the default levels will provide good gameplay (pro, all star, legend) or are we still going to have to depend on sliders that just usually don't work either?

So far, all that is confirmed is:

"AI batting aggression and the ease of home runs in online mode and certain difficulties"

Re: patch # 2 announced

So hold on..

People are actually satisfied in being told there's a patch but not being told what is going to be fixed?

Take the nothing that this Ronnie only ever seems to know, combine it with 2ks track record of releasing shotty games, take into account the atrocity that is this game not to mention FoM and the lack of attention/knowledge being shared on it's forums and I am not one bit convinced this is anything more than a ploy to get customer complaints to slow down.

Sheeeeit, it's been a month since they announced the FoM patch, why do people buy into this false hope 2k keeps providing?

But honestly, hasn't VC come through in the past with patches for some of their other titles, such as the College Hoops or NBA 2K series? I think the hope is that with VC bringing it in-house, that the patch will deliver. HOPE being the key word here.
