    Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

    I asked in this in the bugs/glitches thread but i'll ask here as well to see if anyone else is having this problem.

    My Player mode won't start for me. I try t start one it has its opening cinematic and just sits there for ages saying 'initializing my player......' with a black screen. Xbox isn't frozen. Anyone else having this issue ?

      Being a pitcher in My Player is a joke, you cant even get over to cover first. Hopefully being a SS is easier.

        i was a SS for the Pirates, 2 months in, and waiting my time to get called up, and I suddenly read, McCuchen and Tabata were traded for 2 84 pitchers from SF, Bumbarner and Jonathan Sanchez. seems to make sense in a way since the Buccos had no pitching, but now the OF is barren, and Sanchez is 28 + 2yrs left on contract.

        now i'm thinking of changing into a CF. i was thinking of making myself into a fast, contact type player anyways.

        btw, i had a 15 game hitting streak which gave a good bonus, but after changing from classic to analog hitting, my hits have teetered off...

        and damn, fielding+base running is getting boring.
        when i'm on 1st base i want an option to skip ahead till the batter actually SOs or hits, like when i'm on defense.
        and on defense defending the same type of hits 70% of the time isn't too much fun.
        it's a shame there's no way to raise fielding or running points.

          My 2B made it to the biggs with 3 games left in my minor league season. I had met all the call up goals with the exception of baserunning. Those points dogged me for about a month. I was getting hits but my teammates weren't bringing me around.

          So now I'm on the Cardinals as they make a last month push for the playoffs. They were a good 5.5 games out of the wild card hunt and things aren't getting better. It has been fun but I would like to see more interactivity. The little talking head doesn't make me feel a part of the game. It just feels a bit impersonal. How about a few cut scenes when your drafted and called up to the Majors?

            Couldn't have said it any better. This is the worst part about the whole mode. I hate sitting on 1st or whatever base with a guy who can't steal watching my teammates strike out or foul off 10 balls.

              Just finished my first season. I was only in the majors for the last month and we (Cards) didn't make the playoffs. So the game goes through the off season and I see the "departing players" screen. Sure enough - Pujols is on the list. Spring training kicks off so I can look at the transaction menu.....Cubs sign him to 6yr/15.5mil deal. WTF THE CUBS!!! I am so pissed. We have some joker from the minors playing first now.

                Are all catchers idiots, or is it just the minor league ones? My AA catcher constanly calls for pitches out of the zone when I'm behind in the count. Last game, it's bottom of the 9th with a runner on second. We're up by 2. I fall behind the batter 2-0 and yet he's calling for a fastball outside. Who in his right mind would do that?

                  I wasn't thinking when I created myself as a starting pitcher for the Phillies...it might be awhile before they call me up, lol. I've just about completed all the Call-Up Goals but to be honest I wouldn't want to be starting in the bigs as a mid 60's player, will probably get rocked. Will the game bring up a SP but use him in a RP role his first year or so?

                  Also does it bother anyone else that the overlay and commands for throwing to specific bases are reversed? (X) to first base? That's clearly third!

                    Yeah, that throws me for a loop too. The overlays are especially disorienting.

                      Best thing to do if you don't want to get called up is leave one of the call up goals below its number, you can spend sometime in the minors and beef up your other stats while also getting a fresh year in the majors when your ready, I went this route and I came up as a 74 second baseman for the Twins and I haven't struggled as much as I would have if I came up as mid 60's guy.

                        you can switch the controls to match the regular game. Not sure if you can get rid of overlay or if it doesn't correctly match if you do reverse the controls. I don't think I've ever paid attention to it.

                        I think they reverse them since your perspective is reversed in my player. However, I would rather it be a little disorienting and keep it consistant between all modes.

                          yeah, the pitching overlays confused me at first too.

                          i fiddled around with different position, changing em every week or so. found out OF was the most boring defensively, infield+catcher a lil less so.

                          yeah, the popups to the OF 80% of the time i power swung were getting a lil annoying too. especially when i was pulling down on my left-stick.

                          just made it to the bigs in my 3rd month or so. hitting .250 in 3 games. i'm probably gonna give up on my power swing until i can get my attributes up.

                            The Phils moved Joe Blanton to the bullpen, I guess they weren't satisfied with his 8-14 record and 5+ era. I got called up on 8/24 and in my first start threw a complete game shutout, so much for getting knocked around. My teams defense saved the day on many occasions, gobbling up everything that came their way. I definitely like this mode more now that there's an announcing team telling me how great I am, lol. It gets a bit lonely with just the ambient noise.

                            I ran into a couple jams in my second start, giving up 2 runs but still managed to squeak out a 3-2 victory while going 7 innings.

                              you know you can change it to be the same controls as normal right?

                                1st MLB home run in my 2nd at bat vs. the White Sox, didn't look back. I have 3 MLB HR's in 4 games, which is more than I had in 2 months in the minors. Only thing is, i'm starting over Ellsbury.
