Anticipation Attribute

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I had OF speed at 0 but there were a total of 7 doubles in the game and 6 singles. I'm going to try OF at 10 and see what happens. Other than that, the various locations of batted balls are nice and fielding is definitely smoother and more realistic. Fielders are not racing at full tilt from the get go and in some situations never get to full speed but rather slow down and bend down to pick up the ball. It looks pretty nice.

I found that outfield speed slider of 5 works well with the slider set above. Play a game with like Ellsbury in centerfield and see how much ground he covers. Its amazing what high range guys can do compared to others.

I tried LA Angels becuase their middle infield is nasty, and man, were they nasty. Makes you really reconsider and I've found myself late in games actually making defensive substitutions.......which is awesome!

Great impressions, keep them coming. BUt the fielding is def smoother, like not even close. Tried a game with regular attributes last night and it was gross. So frantic.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

You're right about the fielding being at least 5. I remember both in 2011 & 2012 that "0" is a number the game doesn't handle well.

Anyway, just got thru a 3-1 game (me=Texas) against Arizona. This game, with OF set at 10 we had 5 singles, 1 double and 1 triple. I also saw my SS (Andrus) catch a line drive in a way I had never seen in the game. Rather than seeming to be already in the air while diving as the ball was hit, he actually took a slight step to the left then dove back to the right to barely snag the liner. I thought that was cool. Also saw 2 DP's, 1 by us and 1 by Az, that were extremely smooth. I believe you're onto something here.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I played ten games with the new mkh/b roster using aniticpation25 and cather99. I spent about 6 months tweeking sliders to get the game where I want. only change i made with these att adjustments was power hittin i dropped 5... c see ALOT of new animations in both infield and outfield. everyonce inawhile i see glitches in animations with guys holding the ball mid-play. overall I agree with the global drop 25 with the new rosters... catcher 99 is stellar seeing catchers block the plate all the time now never saw even once be4. great work on this .....

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I'm seeing new animations as well. I'm even seeing pitchers run off the mound to field weak grounders. I've never seen a pitcher field anything before except a hard line drive that happens to land in their mitt.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Just going to mention that I added the fully edited roster to MK and Bretsky's roster thread.

ALL players 25 anticipation and ALL catchers 99 plate blocking rating.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Shotgun, what difficulty do you play on?

[shogunofharlem3]

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I think the difficulty automatically goes to custom when you input sliders. I'll check though. Not sure what I put the sliders in on first though. I think All Star then I edited from there and it became custom.

Looking forward to downloading these now and playing a few games. Very exciting.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Just loaded these babies up, had to resign the save and loaded up perfectly.

Started a playoff and just simmed to the World Series. Brewers vs. Tampa.

I lost 1-0, the only run came on a 1-2, 2 out curveball in the dirt that got by my catcher and the man on 3rd scampered home, my catcher dove at home plate (I assume because of the 99 block the plate rating) with the ball but their guy was safe.

The defense was outrageous. Super smooth. Saw my 2nd baseman catch a pop up that was way out in the outfield, it was in no man's land be he made a spectacular over the shoulder catch with the CF and RF crashing in.

Also the cpu hit a line shot off my pitcher's foot, which my 2nd baseman snared on the run with his glove up the middle and threw seemlessly on the run across his body to 1st for the bang bang out. Was sick.

Then, I had man on 1st in the 8th. Pinch ran for him, stole second. There was 1 out. Hit a rocket to the hole between 3rd and short. THe shortstop took one step and totally laid out to his backhand, then popped to 2 knees and threw sidearm snap throw to 2nd to barely double me up.

All in all, incredible game. Saw about 3 or 4 new animations. Looked so good. Great work on the rosters gentlemen.

Woops I forgot to resign them before uploading. Everytime after opening the file with this editor it's a requirement.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Just played game 2. I won 3-1. They had bases loaded 1 out in the 6th. They hit a ground ball to my 3rd baseman and I went 5-2-3 for the double play to end the inning.

I don't think I've ever turned a 5-2-3 before in this game as my 3rd baseman usually is running when he fields the ball and takes too many steps to get rid of it. Not this time. Fielded it calmly, threw home and catcher to first to end the inning. Was awesome!!!!!!

To me, this is playing like a totally different game.....maybe the way it was supposed to be. BUt it is awesome.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

well, i read all this and picked up the game for a couple bucks at gamestop (coupon) and i am glad i did. i does play differently. i am looking forward to a few more games.

i had just finished my show franchise and missed the playoffs. i am now restarting my reds franchise with these new rosters and sliders.

there are so many things to like about both games. it will be fun playing a whole season of this game with these tweaks and comparing notes at the end.

of course, if 2k13 comes out awesome i may be torn.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Now next step. For Franchise users, come end of season, rookies will not have Anticipation Edit. Can the Reditor create / edit draft classes?

At this point I am enjoying 2k12 so much post attribute edit that I am 100% starting a new franchise, probably today. I am thinking ahead, with these fantastic rosters MKharsh and Bretsky are doing, can a draft class be edited as well (not by you guys, just in general)?

I don't even care if they are fake names, just edited attributes. I am willing to look into this further.

I know 2k13 is right around the corner and I assume franchise / draft class stuff is low priority but won't hurt to inquire. Make an amazing bundled package, rosters, sliders, draft classes.

I've said it before, community efforts are the future of sports games just need a company to fully embrace it. Look what's been done here in a matter of a week.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

These roster edits now make this game play incredible... I have a new slider set posted in my thread after numerous testing games. Just a great job on this!!

Yes you can load Franchise saves with reditor.

Editing is just the same as far as I can tell. I've only played around with creating players a bit but I don't think that's a problem but like I say I haven't done much of that.

You can also load MyPlayer saves as well.

Swapping players from team to team is a little tedious with the editor. Maybe easier with the in game editor sitting on the couch! The PC editor is a lot more straight forward in this regard but that doesn't do these saves much good.
