Re: patch # 2 announced

I may pick this up again if the patch fixes the issues. It would be a nice compliment to the Show.

Re: patch # 2 announced

Hi,

Back when i used to post on 2ksports board they acted like it was common knowledge that all franchises would need restarted for the patches to take effect; that no franchises would be grandfathered. I am in the same boat as you though.

I would think that depends on the specifics of what the patch addresses.

Many patches don't require you to start over. You can pretty much bet though, if the franchise issues are addressed in any capacity, then you'd have to restart to see there effects.

Re: patch # 2 announced

we are getting closer and closer to developers confirming initial releases are "beta tests", 2 patches before opening day, essentially 1 month, and major issues, not just rosters or something, why the heck didnt they wait until april to release this game?

If they released the game later, they get their money later. I am sure they did this to attempt to compete with The Show.

Re: patch # 2 announced

I have held off getting 2K9 because of some of the reported issues, lack of the ability to edit signature stuff, etc. And I wasn't really into it after playing the demo. But if patch two addresses the biggest reported problems plus gives us more player editing options, AND the game is $42.99 at Amazon? I will not hesitate to pick this game up.

They cant, MLB sets the release date and the game has to be out by then.

I hope it addresses the fielding problems. Those get on my nerves more than anything.

Are you sure, because that would make it just about the only sports game that has a set release date. I mean usually a company wont release a game until they know it can be released by a certain date, but I remember College Hoops 2k7 being pushed back about 1-2 months. However, usually when a game is pushed back, its usually a week or two, not a month.

I know pro sports are like this. Football used to release the same day, baseball the same day, Basketball the same day, Hockey the same day. Some of them games are done weeks and even months before the release date. They never release early, unless you know someone that can get it to you earlier.

I expected a confirmation last week, but with 2K you have to lower your expectations
