When trying to edit the last name I got the message stating no more room to edit names on this file. Of course, I kept trying (LOL!!), but nothing.

    As an aside... Is anyone else getting really frustrated by the arrogance of the Mods at the 2k forums? I've really had it with those guys. You can't ask a question without seemingly getting attacked. Anyone who knows me here would know that I give a lot back to this community (ie. NBA 2k8 rosters, MLB 2k9 rosters, NCAA BBall historic rosters) - I worked very hard on those, especially the baseball rosters for last season's game. If anyone would look (and I haven't for a long time) my rosters for MLB 2k9 were getting downloaded in the thousands - not to sound arrogant, but 2k should thank me for the time I put into them, as many wrote me and said they would have given up on the game without them.

    I just feel like they don't want to listen to us and that frustrates me... We only want answers and are trying to help provide solutions. I know nothing about how to develop a video game, but I don't like it when they talk down to us for only asking for some information about why the rosters can't be better developed, especially for the minor leaguers...
    It's definitely bad over there. I read the thread you are talking about and you and tonybologna asked very fair questions and made solid points. It seemed that the answers given were not by any means logical as it was never a problem in the past.

    I understand and even respect the fact that 2K wants to take any and all likeness out of their game concerning minor league players, I really do...but that is why unlimited roster editing capabilities is an absolute must. We were told that perhaps having a limit keeps the game from experiencing other problems, but why then, did 2K tell us that there was NOT *any* roster editing restrictions this year? I mean, it came straight from their mouths, but now, when we uncover that there is indeed a limit, they send a guy back with an answer that says, "Well, it might affect the rest of the game."

    It just seems fishy to me...and they are so quiet about it. I especially loved when someone over there called you "irrational" when you were only seeking answers and asking very fair and logical questions. If 2K would have just came out from the start and said, "Yes, there are editing restrictions due to it affecting the rest of the game," you would have people that would not like it, but they would understand and respect it. What really irks people to no end is the quietness of it all, and being told that there were no restrictions. Nothing anyone said in that thread in defense of 2K made any sense to me and still doesn't.

    Harsh, you talked about laziness and that is exactly what it is. Look at the damn player photos for a perfect example of this. Edinson Volquez is STILL in a Rangers' hat even though he hasn't been apart of their organization in almost THREE (3!) years. Same with Ken Griffey, Jr. and countless other players and their portraits who have been forgotten about for years. It's a big deal to me because it simply shows laziness. I play with the Mariners and four guys in my lineup wear an M's hat, the rest of the team looks like I did a fantasy draft.

      I agree with you Felix on everything you have said. But, I wanna touch more on this player likeness thing.

      The statement given by the mod over there about player likeness that closed the thread doesn't add up.

      He stated that player likeness wasn't never allowed & not in the future either. That is a flat out joke. He stated that the fake players in the game wasn't a replica/counterpart of any real life baseball players.

      That's not true! I mean there would be no way to randomly generate these prospects to match real life players. They have same birthday. The same physical attributes. The same looks for most of them except for some having the wrong skin color. They used to have the same initials but not quite as evident with MKLB 2K10.

      How can someone associated with 2K Sports make this kind of statement? It makes no sense whatsoever. They are basing a lot of the fake names from real life baseball prospects/players. It just irks me for someone to say it's not player likeness.

      Like I've said a many times. The only way we send a real message is to quit buying these games. The game has improved from MLB 2K9 but this stuff needs to be addressed.

      I get so frustrated seeing people over at 2K Sports backing them no matter what. Improvements are nice but not good enough for me with this edit limit issue. Like I told the mods over there. For franchise guys this problem is a big deal. Well, I'm a franchise guy & it's a big deal 2K Sports.

        Anybody having redirects when trying to login over at 2K Sports forums? Every time I try to login I get redirected to a search from my ISP.

        I'm not having any other problems with any other sites so I don't think it's on my end. Maybe someone has hacked their forums due to all the problems with this roster editing limit.

            I can tell you that the edit limit is based on characters (as in letters). Basically, you have a limit on how many characters you can use so once you hit it, weather it is in the first, or last names, you will get the msg.

              Back working for me now. Man, that forum has gone haywire over there.

              I can tell you that the edit limit is based on characters (as in letters). Basically, you have a limit on how many characters you can use so once you hit it, weather it is in the first, or last names, you will get the msg.
              Are you trying to say the edit limit is all based on the amount of characters used? The total number of edits reported has been different. Some have gotten to 150 while I've seen others only getting to 70-80 players.

              Are you stating that this limit isn't abut how many total names we can edit but just the total amount of characters overall.

              For instance, the shorter the name then that would allow more total player edits? The longer the name then that would cut down on the amount of names you can change?

              That would make sense to the different amount of total player edits we are seeing reported. If maybe we just put in the initials of players then we could edit a lot more.

              However, I wouldn't want just initials because that would be hard to track. Is what I'm saying what you're implying about the editing limit?

                I Love getting lied to, who here doesn't? The Folks at 2k really got me good on this one, they had me sold when in an interview one of there devs was quoted as saying "No, no cap". All i know is 2k will never fool me again, because i wont be having anything to do with 2k. Hey but thanks for the Tim Lincecum fathead!

                  Yeah, that's a flat out lie. Pop 2K9 back in and start a franchise and look at the Top 100 prospects. They are mostly all real guys with matching initials.

                    I'd pop MLB 2K9 back in but it brings back bad memories. What a terrible game.

                    It's amazing that a mod could say player likeness isn't/hasn't been used. How could someone even have the gut to make this claim when the proof is in the pudding?

                    Boy, the game developers must have a horseshoe in their pocket because there's an awful lot of matching prospects/players. What luck to match them. It just absolutely amazes me to see this claim. If you say anything against them over there they go into a frenzy. Just flat out sorry!

                        Yeah! Keeps doing this off & on no matter what browser I use. Like you said though not missing much. There is a new roster set that Wookie over there has uploaded to 2K Share. Just go to the MLB 2K10 section at 2K Sports & look for his roster set thread for more details.

                        From what I've read it's pretty good. He has over 100 prospects in this roster set. He based this set from the official 2K Sports roster that had some player fixes.

                        He will be putting out another set later on with the windup & stances fixes done by Beckham over there. This could turn out to be a solid roster set to take into franchise even if the edit limit isn't increased with a patch. 2K Sports sure likes for us to do most of the work.

                            No, I haven't opened it just yet. I'm going by the reports in regards to everything I have posted about this game. I do have the demo & that's why I have only stated about gameplay as an opinion from me. That's the only thing about this game I can actually confirm knowing about but the demo isn't the final produce either.

                            Do I actually have like a 30-day time period for unopened games to return at Gamestop? I'm not used to keeping a game unopened. I have traded quite a few opened games but never taken back an unopened game copy. I've had the game since March 4th I believe. I just don't wanna take a chance on not getting my full refund back if I decide to return.

                            I don't believe there will be another patch out at the 1 month mark of having the game either. What I could do is go ahead & take it back & then if this patch increaese the edit limit I can just go back to get the game again. However, I'm just frustrated with how things have went about this issue.

                            I already stated that I was doing away with this game series if the edit limit issue wasn't addressed. Well, it's been partially addressed but not to my liking for sure.

                            I don't care if they do increase the edit limit. What I want is answers & the truth as to why it's there in the first place. This is being avoided by telling us that the reasons are "extensive". That's a poor reason to give your customers. It's like they are hiding something from us.

                            The player likeness debate is the same way. They say this can't be used but in reality there are a bunch of prospects/players that are certainly matches. It's not luck with this by randomly generating players that would match either. It's a lie.

                            We deserve the truth behind all their antics. If I do take the game back then I may just decide to never get another MLB 2K game again.

                            I'd like to know if the next patch was gonna increase the edit limit so I can make a decision but like I said I'm so aggravated right now I may just go ahead & get a refund.

                            I have The Show on PS3 that I will play more no matter what. I'd just like to play a solid baseball game on the 360. Our son loves sports & he is another factor in wanting to try & keep this game on the 360. He plays the 360 more than the PS3 so I want to keep it really for him.

                            I would be doing most of the edits for him to play the game. Believe it or not, he follows a lot of the prospects in baseball so having that editing limit increased is a must not only for me but him too.

                              you might want to check your receipt from Gamestop to find out...not sure if there's a window on returning games or not.

                                My claim to fame? I started the most popular thread of all time on OS:
                                The Photographic Side of NCCAA11. It has now become an OS staple for several games.
