Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

There was a check swing on the first pitch I threw.

Does the game feel faster to anyone else?

No check swing with classic sucks,still no pitch out either I guess?

Pitch-out is available. After you select your pitch, I believe you press the "X" button (on the 360). I think for intentional walk, you have to click in the left stick or something after selecting a pitch.

Well, I just downloaded the patch and it works in the franchise that I already had going.

This is great, because I would've just lived without them had they not been applied to my pre existing franchise.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

Kevdood, thank you very much for your hard work. It is much appreciated.

I can't seem to access the bug list you are referring to, but here are 2k's patch 2 priorities, imo....

1. Errors and injuries.
2. Arm strength for OF.
3. The double switch issue (pinch hitting for the pitcher and then leaving that player in the game at another position.
4. Sac fly RBIs being miscredited. (hit a sac fly with Skip Schumaker to drive in Felipe Lopez. Brendan Ryan, the next batter up, was credited with the RBI)
5. Players do not tag up on fly balls.
6. Fixing the "fatigue glitch". Should probably be higher, but at least the CPU removes their pitcher at somewhat appropriate times.
7. Stealing difficulty. You can only steal off of pitchers with very slow deliveries or on bad pitches in the dirt.


That's just my opinion. Not all are bugs, per se, but they are issues. Again, thanks for the hard work.

I agree with everything here, but I must add the franchise issues:

1. Teams are way under budget compared to real-life counterparts.
2. Star free agents are taking FAR LESS than market value, allowing small market teams to retain superstars like Prince Fielder for, say, $3 million/year. I don't mind that small market teams can remain competitive, but I do mind that the free agent pool is anemic each off-season.
3. There has to be some way to see a player's potential. I don't know if this is fixable, but scouting, drafting and trading are useless without being able to determine how good a player might be.

I have played three games since the patch was released. I placed all sliders back to their default position. I have not witnessed the pitcher fatigue glitch with the fatigue slider back on the default of, 50. Maybe, I'm just lucky thus far?

Other observations post-patch; The jaggies have definitely improved although I am seeing some frame rate slow downs, mainly in replays. Replays follow the ball a great deal better. All Players of the Game have been chosen wisely. Once it was my starting pitcher with 8 innings of 1 run ball. The check swings are in and the play at the walls with the ball marker, collision, and climbing are much improved. Double plays are more fluid in their execution. The AI seems to take the easy out, example, throwing out the runner at first versus throwing extremely late to get the lead runner on a sacrifice bunt. That is all I have for now.

I played two games today. I still feel like the computer keeps there starter in until you put up 3-6 runs in one inning. Have yet to see the check swing.

I love this game but I have yet to see the things they patched be effective.

I was talking about the classic pitching. X is a normal pitch with classic pitching. The intentional walk still works but it seems no one knows how to pitch out and it's really awful because the AI can't be stopped from stealing it seems.

Speaking of stealing post patch I've attempted 2 and both times there was no throw at all by the catcher. There was also no throw on what should've been a double play.

How do you check swing? Seen 2 of them by the CPU though. LOL

Definitely less jaggies.

And I'm not sure if I noticed it before, but seems that progressive attendance is working now, I'm playing in front of a pretty empty crowd for Indians/Pirates.

I believe after you commit to a swing, you want to pull back on the swing stick. I haven't really been able to do it much myself, but that is the explanation I've been given.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

• CPU pitchers were staying in too long/throwing too many pitches.

Is that only for the CPU because it was happening with the pitchers we were playing with too on the USER side?

Please tell me this entire mechanic has been fixed both BOTH sides with the pitcher fatigue resetting to 99.

Could someone please confirm.

in my player i pitched a total of 109 pitches down 10 to 0 before getting pulled in the 9th =\ really frustrating .. and now my era is like 15.19 cuz of it..

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

another glitch i found in my player doin the control velocity.. drill as pitcher.. i spot my pitch directly over the location it shows and i goto throw the pitch and its picture perfect in the middle of the gold square and it doesnt give me my dang skill points..

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

i played today, hit a double with texeira, and the ball was thrown into the infield and just rolled along the infield. no cpu defensive player went to grab it and i had to score to get the game moving along again.....

i think the game def plays better with the patch and if they get that bunch of stuff in patch 2, this game could be unbelievable and make me put down nhl 10.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

I played a My Player game last night right after I downloaded the patch. I'm on the Royals facing the Giants (interleague) and they had Lincecum throwing. Well, we jump up 4-1 by the 6th and I figure they'll leave him in since he's Lincecum and all. Well, I pop up to bat in the 7th and lo and behold, it's Jeremy Affeldt in the game. I don't usually check fatigue for opposing pitchers in My Player since it doesn't go down unless your Player is on the field. But, it was nice to see a middle reliever actually in the game in the 7th, especially since they had one of the top guys throwing on the hill that game. Usually, he'd stay in the game until the 9th and throw 140 pitches. -- Only played one game though since it was so late, but I'm sure I'll play quite a few more tonight.

Once again from the looks of and reading from pastapadre.com, us PS3 users are left in the Cold, this is why I sold my game on eBay last night, really not good from 2K, I spend 60 bucks to get no patch. I'm really considering not buying another game from 2K again. Sorry for the ramble, I just think its unfair, It puts there loyalty to customers in question as a company.

Back to the Topic.

The 2k forums specifically said that the second patch is in the works and that this should mean that PS3 players will have two patches in one, the reason the 360 patch came out first is because of the quality and quantity of the feedback from the 360 community allowed them to get things on the fast track. Kudos to 2k sports for not making 360 player wait longer because PS3 users didn't provide as much productive feedback.

Installed the patch this afternoon, played one full game, then several situations in My Player mode.

Full game went without any new issues. Old problems still remain - still no errors, no IF pop-ups, and the one time I tried stealing with Brandon Phillips (70% SB success last year), he was thrown out by 30 feet by Miguel Montero (24% CS last year).

But I did see something new in "My Player". I'm playing a LF and so far (over 50 games simulated), the batter's count is always 0-0 and they put the ball in play on the first pitch. Today, there was a check-swing strike on the first pitch! The count actually went to 0-1 before the batter hit a fly-out to LF on the next pitch.
