MLB 2K9 Post-Patch Impressions (360 & PS3 merged)

I do think this game has potenial as well. Sometimes I think people have unrealistic expectations. The game is slowly becoming better over last few years. Yes there are issues and that can be very frustrating, but I think there is def. a base to build on. Its not best baseball game ever made, but it can be fun. I won't go as far as next year will be a great game comment, but I think it will improve on some of the issues they have. but for what its worth, I enjoy the game to me thats all I need. Don't need perfect stats. Yes fielding can be tricky, but everyone complained before that fielding was too easy & were never errors. Now while I agree its very aggrivating, its not too easy anymore. Just need a lil fine tuning to stop some of those silly errors/misplayed balls

Wow. I'll be picking this up, then. It's definitely worth $20.00.

I'm not sure if you can call this a glitch/bug, or something related with a patch, but there's two big changes I've noticed when playing.

When I start a new Franchise, the pitchers who are known to throw a good 12-6 curveball suddenly lost that pitch and now have that crappy basic curve.

I've learned how to manage with it, but it's no 12-6.. meaning no less strikeouts for guys like Pedro, Lincecum, and Halladay (I think Halladay might have gotten the 12-6 back after a while. I don't know how)

Of course, I can still get a good number of strikeouts, but it's much harder.

This is another problem, which is also with exsisting franchises I have..

Has anyone else noticed that when you would throw a 2 seam fastball when the game first came out, you would need to throw it in the strikezone and it would break out at the last second, which was good.

Now, I have to throw the 2 seam fastball off of the plate and it hits the strikezone? I don't get it.. That's for righty's though. I can't even use the 2 seam with lefties because you can't execute it properly anymore..

Same thing with the majority of the other pitches, especially the changeup.

Anyone else getting this problem?
