Major League Baseball 2K9 Patch #2 Details

Re: patch #2 details

To me all that matters is where video games are going. Compare 09 where it is today to 08 and u have a better game. Compare it to 08 after the patch and we could be looking at something close to the show. To me ratings mean nothing half of them are done by people who have never played a sports game before. You can tell by reaing there articles instead of just looking at there score.

This is good news I agree this is a better game than the 08' game out of the box. This patch will boost the quality of this game. Happy VC is in charge.

I have two games this year that I love.

A couple of things that I would like to see next year is:

1) Offer all the legends in the free agents list. I want to play with them in my franchise or season modes...

2) 2K9's face tool is weak please go back to the drawing board and come up with a more in depth offering.

3) Just bring back 2K3's Home-Run visuals.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Patch #2 Details

In regards to the patching issue in general, it has certainly changed things. I know for me personally, I will never buy a sports game on day of release anymore. Maybe I'm older now and have better impulse control, but I used to be first in line for the yearly Madden releases and 2K baseball releases and stuff like that. These days I won't buy a sports game until it has been out at least a week or two. This caution has saved me a lot of money on games that in the past would have ended up as coasters. Just in the past two or three months I have saved myself $100 by passing on Front Office Manager and MLB 2k9 based on stuff I have read here. Yes, I can hear the trolls barking already about how I can't tell if I don't actually play the game. I think I can tell from reading well thought out reviews whether I will like a game or not. And the flaws I have read on these games let me know I made the right decision not to jump on them.

I wonder how many beta releases sports developers have to put out until they get enough people like me who are gun shy to buy a game early to where it significantly effects their all important early sales numbers.

Do you think they could patch the dirt blowing across the infield to look as good as it did in 2k7 and 2k8? Not the little balls of dirt that don't dissapate as they cross the field. If they fix everything listed in the patch and that, it would be a great(better than it already is) game. Who's with me?

How about just take the dirt-balls out completely. It looks fake, it doesn't actually happen that way with clay, and it looks ridiculous. JUst take that code out of there.

This one has a lot of potential for people without abn Xbox 360, but it may be too little too late now. Most of this should have been addressed prerelease.

Completely agree. The PC version allows it to be turned off, so if they don't want to move it completely, it would be nice if we at least had the option to turn it off in the console version too.

I agree it looks fake. Just lazy programming on the part of 2K.

Hope they fix the classic hitting and the awful,terrible,awful,horrible,awful,terribly horribly awful umpires.

I hope they fix the gloves. They look like the gloves from the 1920's.

I'm happy they have listened to us and is giving us our second patch before the season begins. The game is enjoyable and frustrating, hopefully with this it will take out the frustration.

Also, I'm hoping for an additional fielding cam. I feel like I'm at the Nationals stadium with that ariel view, and I hate watching games at that stadium.

This reminded me...does anyone remember the game "Caveman Games"? It was for NES (I think...mighta been SEGA) you could compete in competition like clubbing your wife and dragging her by her hair. Good stuff.

Now...back to the topic (preferably in real English)

That game was sweet! It was for the original NES.

The "Mate Toss" was my fav:

Re: patch #2 details

The patch era has turned the consumer into free beta testers and everyone is guilty of it including the Show. I am surprised by how blatant some errors get by though.

I blame this partially on the time these game developers have to make a game. Remember we get a baseball game every year. There's bound to be a number of things that show up, and it seems that at the end they just don't have the time or personal needed to test their product. I would like to see a developer take more than 1 year to develop a complete baseball game. This should give them time to iron out most of the bugs and play test the game to perfection.

2K needed another 6 months or so to fix the problems with the game. They should have taken that time to do so. I also understand that they are up against the competition, and time = money.

I also think this game is on the right track. Let's hope they patch the game soon, so we can move on and play some baseball.

It was Caveman Ugh-lympics. Great title. Great game. The old school EA days.
