This has been present in the last 2 2Ks and it really makes it annoying to pick up a pitch and I was seeing it again in this year's beta videos. Thanks

eh, i dont know. i dont see anything funky, but i cant pick apart games the way alot of people can on this forum


about the take out slides. No idea yet, i kind of suck. Its hard to play alot of innings because i am answering questions on 2 forums.

about the pickle play, not sure, i know i tried to run when i wasnt supposed to and the guy ran after loney and tagged him out. I dont know the base running controls yet. I should have read the manual. lol

just curious because i don't want to make a thread about it, and i saw some people talking about the patch, do we have a for sure yes it will release on the ps3 also, i mean it will mean something to kcxiv because he is playing the ps3 version, and last year 2k just left the ps3 version alone

It will be on the ps3 version also. 2K has told me directly.

When you get a guy on base, or are the pitcher and have a CPU player on 1st try picking him off and tell me if any part of him sliders thru the first basemen.

Also...if you're running down the first baseline or the CPU is look to see if any part of the runner is going thru the player covering the bag.

This would ultimately lead to collision detection being null and void, and would more than likely mean there are no take-out slides.

OK maybe I should take that as a positive that its probably not in the game because its pretty apparent and while it seems like a subtle issue it does make it difficult (and unrealistic) to pick up a pitch out of the pitcher's hand.

Ill see what ChaseB says in his thread

THanks man.

This thing is kinda lame. Impressions thread with almost no impressions...

Hahahaha.

I have 2 guys on base right now and i cant pick them off. lol

Well i got 1, but it was relaly really close and it took me about 13 tries. He was at 2nd, i cant get the guy at first though.
