Hey does anyone know if you can change the camera angle for batting. Does it automatically use the angle you have been using in normal games? I know you could change this last year. Thanks.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Interesting problem I have to figure out.. my center fielder with the Twins AA team is almost ready to get called up.. and I even gave him #34, though he's 6'3 200 lbs unlike Kirby.. anyway

When he's on first and a ground ball up the middle.. he won't run! he waits on the double play throw to second then makes his move.. Even when I hit & run on my own without it being the goal.. when it's the goal of course, he runs when I tell him to but that's the only time.

I should have been a Red Sox player instead of the Twins.. I love that letter high fast ball and in a series in Boston I've peppered the green monster for 4 doubles

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Ok after all the cold streaks I am finally doing pretty well. But I still have a weakness on the "Key Match ups" or "Key Games" I still struggle a lot in those. I don't know if it is the pressure of more points on the line or what.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Well, i also struggled a lot in key games. Everything in my player mode comes with time. I loved my struggles when i was a Rookie, even though i hated the fact that i won't be ROTY. It added realism in this game for me. Now, i am 96-7 overall, hit at least 1 per game(i simmed most of the playoffs last year and somewhere along the way lost my hitting streak that was 120+ games and in the new season i have 30), and i am trying to find the right version of sliders. I still suck in franchise mode, because there i am always impatient(i did started out with Pirates, but i don't think even them should have 2 runs in 3 games, even though it was vs Phillies). Love the fact that you have to earn the call but i think my player mode needs to evolve much more(for example, you'll be traded everywhere you want, they don't care)

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I am a starting pitcher in my rookie season with the Blue Jays and my fielders are killing me with errors. This happens almost every game. Does anyone else see this? I am playing off of pro based sliders.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Has anyone else cut off dynamic player ratings which is basically hot/cold streaks? I did because it seems that it is too inconsistent. I got thrown into a cold streak after 2 hitless games. the next game, I got 2 hits. the next game said I was on a hot streak, and in that game went hitless. The next game I was in a cold streak, and from then on, I could barely hit any balls out of the infield. I just said screw it and turned it off.

I'm now in the majors - hooray!

Curious, though, if anyone had a similar reaction to getting called up to the big leagues as I did. I don't want to say what that reaction was, but if you would like to discuss for a project I'm working on, let me know.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I dislike the effect of cold streak on a high overall players. I lead league in every major hit category, and my ratings are "down" because i ain't in a hot streak apparently with 50 rbis and 19 HR's and .450 ba.. Stupidity. I mean, EVERY hit category. Even those in sabermetrics. Pujols has 12 HR's in 30 games and he is in cold streak just because he has high overall...

I think you misunderstood the streak system. Every statistical category is counted for this system. So although Albert may be hitting homers, it could be he has a low OBP or low AVG compared to before so that could his cold streak.

But nonetheless, this system somehow is flawed, yes. It is somehow overdone to my liking.

I was along the same lines as you until my game last night. 3 for 4 and a RBI. Then the next game I'm on a cold streak. WTF? After that game, I immediately turned that option off. That doesn't make any sense at all.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

@wudl83
I get your point, but it's wrong in couple of ways. I do understand how h/c streaks work. I get that it's a wider period than 2-3 games(4 weeks to be precise) and it pays attention to all categories, not just rbis or hrs. But still, if i lead the league in every possible hit category except triples, how can they go down? I have best BA, HR, OBP, SLUG, RBIS, DOUBLES, 1B, TB. Hell, i even lead the league in steals. There is absolutely no reason for my ratings to go down for 1 point(every single one of them) . Or Pujols for that matter. His other numbers aren't bad at all, actually he is in top 10 in most categories. So i could only find 1 solution, our overall ratings were 2 high for us to be in hot streaks(as we should). So basically, if you have a player of 95+ overall, count on him to be in cold streak unless he puts up some monster-like numbers during 4 week period.

I am so dominant that in 3Baseman voting for all star, i have 1.8 millions, 2nd place guy has 400000.... So how can i lose a point per rating, so that my overall is 96 in games, not the real 97?

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Trying my first 'My Player' pitcher.. starter named Rubber Arm.. almost hope to create another Bert Blyleven.. though I chose my most hated team, the Yankees for him to start his career

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Brought a no-hitter into the 6th inning in first game, the pitcher I created is Fastball, Sinker, Cutter 7k's 2 hits for 6 innings, stranded men on 2nd and 3rd on one of my 3 called third strikes.. aka backwards K's

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Only got this game to get pumped up to go to some Mariner games (got tickets for 3 days of M's vs RedSox @ Safeco) going to be fun.

Anyways..."My Player" is a Catcher. one word on the game play...AWKWARD! mostly in the baserunning. Can't wait to see how he turns out, I'm just doing the My Player as a self training, then i'll start a franchise.

I think playing as a Catcher is cool because the fielding is super relaxed,ie bunt, pop, block an occasional plate.

Basically i'm with machinarium:
"Well, i also struggled a lot in key games. Everything in my player mode comes with time. I loved my struggles when i was a Rookie, even though i hated the fact that i won't be ROTY. It added realism in this game for me."
