MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:

The AI does a pretty poor job of handling pitchers. The last game I played Oakland's starter was pitching a good game against me, only giving up 3 runs through 6, and was leading 5-3. In the 7th I started to get to him, and was really hitting some shots. I fully expected him to get pulled, but he was left in to the tune of 6 runs. Six runs. He was approaching his pitch limit too. Regardless of that, in real life he would've been pulled at the first sign of trouble.

Other games I have played the AI seemed to pull pitchers too early. This usually happened in the first or second inning, when I start to get maybe 3-4 runs, and the AI manager would go to the pen without really giving the pitcher a realistic chance to work himself out of it.

So by my own estimation, early on the AI manager is too quick to make a change, and later in the game he is too stubborn. Seems to me like it should be the other way around.

Game Mode you were playing:

This poor management seems to happen pretty frequently, and I've been playing Play Now and MLB Today modes.

What happened to trigger it?

Poorly designed code.

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:

Pretty much, just play a game.

Video/Picture proof:

None available.

Summary of bug: Game freezes when batter comes to bat.

Game Mode you were playing: Franchise (All-Start)

What happened to trigger it? Press A to skip the McCann first at bat of the game home run before the replay began (This time you did it 2k, you took his first Home Run away!!!)

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?: Hopefully if I'm losing a game badly.

One thing to note on this nasty bug, I've been playing with bullpen warm up off. Who knows maybe that makes a difference, I don't know.

My last game versus Houston, I'm up 2-1 in the top of the ninth. I start to get after their reliever, who has been in the game for two innings. After a few runs are in I start teeing off on him, but still no hook. Finally, after 6 runs are in he retires me. No manager in real life would've done that. And again, this is with bullpen warm up off.

I've switched the settings to bullpen warm up on. If that makes a difference I'll post again.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:

There seem to be too many outs that are line drives caught by infielders. This happens both when pitching and when hitting. I don't know if this can easily be fixed or not, but if the ratios can somehow be adjusted it would help the realism of the game. Turn some of those line drives into fly balls and grounders, and if I had to guess I would say a touch more fly balls than grounders.

Game Mode you were playing:

Any.

What happened to trigger it?

A hit ball.

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:

Yes. Swing the bat.

Video/Picture proof:

None available.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Using Classic pitching Pinpoint penalizes the user 1-2 mph speed when hitting Max on the meter. While the CPU pitchers hit their max in this mode, the user gets penalized 1-2 mph hitting Max. I am using Xbox 360.

This should be easily replicated with Xbox 360 using Classic pitching and hitting max on the meter--and comparing speed to what's listed for the pitcher.

I noticed this too in the beginning, but timing is all in this game. If you hit the ball at the right time it will be a hit for sure. The problem is when you face good pitchers that throw different pitches and velocities. If you get one in the right moment with a good player like Ugla, ARod or any power hitter is a home run for sure or a double. (This is in All-Star)

With batters with less power and contact, timing is more important and the velocity you move the stick forward makes all the difference to have the ball pass through infielders. I noticed that when I'm unsure and I don't have forward velocity in the stick, it's an easy infield out.

It's also important to know which ball to hit, if you hit a sinker, change up, split-finger, curve-ball, timing should be perfect or it will be a ground out or a foul ball. If you are late in a fastball it also might be an easy out.

For the pitching the same, if you noticed, fast ball in the middle are most of the time hits. Other pitches, if moving away from the batters, are easy ground outs. If you see a Curve ball near the corners and you player does not have much contact, I will wait for a better pitch to hit.

Something that must be fixed is when the pitcher gets hit with the ball, no injuries at all. I had an one-hitter in the seven and my pitcher got injured. Yesterday the pitcher got hit in the head and made an easy out to first . I recorded if anyone what to check it out.

I was playing with the Nationals last night and all of the little cut-scene animations with the logo, and all of the scoreboards, said Orioles and had the Orioles logo.

Why are there two sticky bug threads? Which one are we supposed to post in?

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:
Injured pitcher kneeling on the mound after substitution was made. Aroldus Chapman of the Reds
Game Mode you were playing:
Franchise Mode

What happened to trigger it?
Pitcher was injured, brought in new pitcher and he kneeled on the mound for 2 innings, even with the Brewers pitching, he was out there
Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:
I don't think so, it hasn't happened again


Video/Picture proof:
None- Sorry didn't think to take a pic

I've noticed if you don't press A to skip the scene of the injured player, it won't happen.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

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 ? I'm on XBOX if that helps.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:

A very small thing that I'm guessing is relatively easy to fix:

Whenever there's a foul ball that goes into the stands you will still hear a "thud" as if it landed in play and on the ground. It's just one of those little details that takes away from the realism.

Game Mode you were playing:

Any.

What happened to trigger it?

A foul ball into the stands.

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:

Yes, have a foul go into the stands.

Video/Picture proof:

None available.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:

Another AI managerial gaff:

I'm up 3-0 in the bottom of the 8th. The computer has the pitcher coming up to hit, a reliever who came in maybe an inning+ before, and he doesn't get pinch hit for.

Game Mode you were playing:

Play now.

What happened to trigger it?

Bad code.

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:

This is the first I've seen it, but I believe others have seen it too.

Video/Picture proof:

None.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

Summary of bug:

I have yet to be able to check one of my swings, either normal or power, though I'm not even sure it's possible with a power swing. At any rate, it seems perhaps there is too small of a window for a check swing to occur. Maybe this could be adjusted in a patch?

Game Mode you were playing:

Any.

What happened to trigger it?

Nothing.

Can you reproduce it? If so, how?:

Yes, swing the bat.

Video/Picture proof:

None.

Re: MLB2K11 - Bug/Glitch Thread

I don't think that this is a bug but more of an adjustment. I haven't seen anybody else having this issue, but that may be because they didn't want to admit it . If I am not really careful, sometimes my swing input will linger just long enough after I make contact to influence my baserunners. If I get a hit, and don't notice and correct the mistake, sometimes a guy running to first to beat out the throw will have been directed (by me accidentally) to run to third base. His speed changes because instead of running through the bag he will slow down to make the turn to second base. Or, I can have a man on 2nd and after I hit a deep fly ball, he misses the opportunity to tag up and advance to 3rd because he was already running there. The time that it takes him to stop halfway and run back to tag up has eliminated any chance to be safe should I still send him. I know that I should just be more careful, but it seems that maybe they could shorten the input time for baserunning from being immediately after contact to a half second or a full second. This would allow any lagging input by the user from batting to not cause silly baserunning errors.
