Just saw on the MLB 2K11 boards that Joey Votto has a default batting stance and animation? Hes the reigning MVP. I know it may be nitpicking, but this is the stuff 2K prides itself on. Yet apparently Drew Stubbs has his own animation and stance?

Re: Official MLB 2k11 - Impressions Thread

Encountering fatigue glitches in franchise that I posted in franchise impressions. None of the fatigue "saved" after the first game, and everyone shot back up to 100% for the next game the very next day. I simulated a few games, and fatigue was taking effect correctly, so I'm not sure if it's a first game of the year fatigue glitch, or if it isn't saving fatigue after any user played games. I only had time for the one franchise game, so can anyone else replicate my results? Xbox 360, and on all star difficulty.

Picked the game up at midnight when I bought the other game. Played a game of 2K first and for the most part really liked what I saw. Didn't experience any framerate issues and the animations were good. Noticed in the settings that when you change a difficulty slider the main setting you are on changes to "custom" which is like it has been in the past

Cardinals at Padres.....I quit the game tied at 4 after 9 innings. I am not much of a late night person anymore.

One thing I saw, maybe this belongs in a "bugs" thread but didn't see one up yet, Pujols (me) hits a shot to center with a man on first with one out. The center fielder goes back and made a leap at the wall, he jumps and his glove extends above the wall and he catches the ball. It counts as both an out and a two run homer. The animation of the center fielder jumping and making the catch was awesome, just bummed that this is in the retail version of the game.

I experienced this once in the demo but that was different where I actually ran through the wall and made the catch. In the retail one the center fielder reacted properly, stopped and jumped at the wall and made the catch.

Other than this one glitch I was very happy with how the game played. Maybe too many hard infielder lineouts but I was kind of expecting that. Just one game though and haven't dove into the sliders just yet.

That is a deal breaker for me. Did you download the patch that was there. I heard that the first day patch which Dirty jerz said yesterday was out already is suppose to fix this.

Ronnie 2K on twitter said it is most likely included in the first day patch

If you downloaded the patch and still happened then no buy for me

Yeah this scares me too. I am seeing several people mention things that make me nervous;

-Vacuum gloves. (I have seen this too in the demo.)
-Caught HR's counting as both and out and HR bug. I thought day1 patch fixed this??
-Jaggies still there.
-the guy a few posts above who said his players were at 100%fatigue in spite of playing a full game.

I have a feeling I should avoid this game for now... If a few bugs have already been noticed in the first 8 hours... who knows how many more bugs havent been discovered yet. Lord knows I have no faith in 2K to find/fix bugs. As a rule I assume every 2K baseball game will have bugs that wont be fixed.

the 100% fatigue is only because it's the first few games of the season...players don't get tired the first few games..most of them play a month or longer before needing a day off...after my 4th game you can tell it's going to work just right.

Re: Official MLB 2k11 - Impressions Thread

I'm at work and I can't play the game until later tonight and No disrespect to anyone but I would love to hear an impression of the game not just the BUGS of the game. Isn't there another thread for Bugs/Glitches.

Im not sure about that.

He said guys got fatigued in simmed games correctly. But after he PLAYED a full game, he noticed his guys were all still at 100% fatigue.

What Im wondering is if you PLAY a game in franchise mode, after the game are guys properly fatigued?

There is none right now but this is not your usual bug. This is a game breaker because counting outs as HR is kind of important and all other impressions would be moot

Re: Official MLB 2k11 - Impressions Thread

How often does this happen? Seems like people are worrying too much about a bug that may happen two or three times a year.

As far as the HR/Out glitch, I won't lie, if this is an issue, or it isn't patched soon, if it hasn't been patched already, I will throw this game on ebay in a second. How something like this could a) not be caught by testers or b) allowed to remain in the retail game, is unforgivable IMO!!!! Hopefully the poster hadn't downloaded the patch yet!

Not to mention this will be fixed in the first patch guaranteed.

Game has been out hours and already instead of impressions we're talking about "game breaking" bugs. SMH

everyone whos played it has also said how much fun they were having... just saying

I'm not saying the CF HR bug isn't stupid and should be fixed, I'm just saying I never saw it during my time w/ the demo, and it certainly wont stop me from buying (and enjoying) the game. If that is a gamebreaker, then I feel bad for you
