Anticipation Attribute

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I have the reditor now. I've corrupted 20 files but now know what I was doing wrong..haha.

Anyway, I like tinkering with attributes, almost as much as playing. I know global edits suck. I get it. But if it makes the game, especially an older one, play better....why the heck not.

I have a few combinations of attributes I am going to start toying around with. I did last night and the defense had almost zero hiccups between transitions. Honestly, could have been my eyes as I did have about 9 Guinness when I started testing () or things were smooth.

Will keep this updated with my findings, if any. If I see no change then so be it.

Lastly, this last edit it more for fun. Not necessarily something to be added to rosters for Franchise modes. Just want to see what I can do with it.

Do any of you guys know if the same thing applies for 2k11? Being in the UK I'm still plodding along with that

Have manually made the update, and think there is a difference although whether that's me making things up myself I'm not sure...

Slightly off topic - do you guys know how to increase the number of infield singles? It seems there are hardly any when I play, only the speediest players are able to pull them off, and even then rarely. I know I could increase baserunner speed but I'm worried that will make stealing unrealistic. Any ideas?

And great work guys, this is making the game a lot more enjoyable!

Can anyone answer the quoted post? I had very similar questions but I don't think 2k11 had an anticipation attribute.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Does the anticipation attribute influence the diving plays in the infield? Or are those moves depending on other parameters? Somebody know?

Not sure. But I see tons of diving attempts that come up short which is great. If I had to guess, glove and range are what influence diving plays.

Anticipation seemed to do nothing more than get your guys running towards the ball without any reaction time. The ball would be one inch off the bat and the fielder in full stride. Now they react themselves based on range instead of cheating

Re: Anticipation Attribute

I think those diving plays are just something we have to deal with, that sliders cannot fix. 2K has a love affair with diving plays and leaping wall catches...

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Summer vacation is winding down and now is typically when I get stir crazy and need to go back to work (I teach).

I have always wanted better ball flight from the hitters and use Difficulty Batting Power at 100 because I like the speed of the ball. That results in too many home runs and high fly balls. I had a theory how to lower the ball height to get more line drives and ball that land over the outfielders.

I am using the Reditor, there is a ground ball tendency attribute, and power attribute specifically for home runs vs. right / left. That attribute for some guys is up in the 90s, where the doubles is down in a 80s, and triples in the 60 range. Singles should be highest, then doubles, then home runs then triples.

I think that combined groundball tendency being too low, results in moon shots. I am just tinkering now, will post some video later. But I lowered every player's HRvsRHP, HRvsLHP down 20 points. And raised everyone's ground ball tendency 10 points and am using slider batting power 100.

So far the results have been great! It seems to have lowered the trajectory of the ball on squared up pitches. Been a fun test so far. Sure beats going in to set up my Computer Lab. Mare as it develops.

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Crappy quality video, I didn't feel like breaking out the HD Gamecap at midnight last night. Here is pretty much what I am trying to achieve, I am seeing a lot more flares. This just happened to be 2 great diving plays but many drop in.

Last 3 games averaged 3 home runs per game, and several flares, warning track balls that landed over outfielders. I will get a full video up later today when I get the Gamecap out. I know this isn't a hot game but I have fun messing with it and posting my findiings.

I just found this thread, and am going to try anticipation = 25 with some teams in 2k12 on pc.


Thanks for all of the time you have put into this, and for helping us all to enjoy a better game. :-)

Re: Anticipation Attribute

Guys thanks for all, this thread is great, I'm new one here but learned so much.

@shogunofharlem3 I still have a doubt, somebody asked a long time ago but not sure about it, please if you can answer me.

For the fielding edits, I should change to 25 only the Anticipation Field, or also the ones related to the positions"as C", "as 1B", "as 2B", etc.

Thanks and Pura Vida

There is a great game in here. Glad you enjoy, I still play alot. Need to get back to testing attributes to pull out those extra animations that are there we rarely see.

Only the Anticipiation Field attribute. One single change. Also, what editor are you using from the image? I use ReditorII , not in a while, but what is that MLB2k12 editor you are showing?

Re: Anticipation Attribute

A bit unrelated, but then again not... Using the concept you found here, I began to notice some base running blunders in MLB The Show 20. Ironically, what I discovered for the historical rosters I've created is the base running awareness needs to be set at 25 for the best results. I share that here because of the concepts that we discussed here over the years. So it's still far reaching...even in other titles / games.
