Re: Patch #1 Impressions (360)

List of fixes.

General
• Fixed Inside Edge Batter Breakdown letter grade assignments on screen (cosmetic issue previously only)

• The correct ‘Player of Game’ was not consistently being chosen. It is now.

• Player of Game not consistent for all dialogs & audio, should be now.

• Fix for bug where head morphs changed when changing hair-style/length in create a player, also addresses extremely odd looking faces generated using randomize head option in create a player.

• Post Season pause menu stat issue - batting averages will be from the season, not post season as it should be.

• The loading screen would display a playoff *race* key game message, rather than a playoff key game message.

• In ReelMaker a wipe would not appear properly the first time, but it appeared if you played the reel again. Fixed.

• There was a case where the user had to press the button through button twice to advance to the next pitch. The intended behavior is to only have to press the button once.

• Fixes a bug with player stat leaderboards over specific timeframes: Last 10 Games, Last 30 Days, This Month, Last Month

• Breaking the consecutive game hit streak record was not being recorded and displayed on the Records screen. It is now.

• Bug where batting averages like .27777778 were not rounded up to .278 in the batter intro overlay when displaying split stats like "career vs. pitcher".

• Bug where franchise and career modes would display the incorrect year that players won a Gold Glove (shown in-game as "Top Fielder") award.

Gameplay

• User was unable to throw after queuing a throw before playing a wall collision animation.

• Composure is always affected on a mound visit.

• The fielding shadow was not drawing correctly vertically against walls.

• Show the pitch break arrows in two player games.

• CPU pitchers were staying in too long/throwing too many pitches.

• Sometimes a player wouldn't do a celebration.

• Incorrect 1st baseman behavior when a runner tried to advance from 3rd to home just as the 1B caught the ball.

• Umpires faced the wrong way when a runner stole 2nd

• Players would occasionally be called out on 2-man steal/pickoff animations when the ball didn't actually touch them

• There were several issues with double play behavior when one of the players was significantly out of position

• Players had a hard time making running tags

• Outfielders would occasionally play a casual-looking queued throw animation while there was a runner advancing

• The user would occasionally be unable to throw the ball to 1st base after fielding the ball and stomping on 2nd for a double play


My Player
• Fix for a bug in My Player where the “Break a MLB single season record” hall of fame goal was not being marked as completed when the user broke a single season record.

• Fix for a bug in My Player where broken pitching records were labeled as hitter records and broken hitting records were labeled as pitcher records on the timeline.

• The spotlight indicator option was not working, when you turned it off in My Player Setup Options it was still appearing.

• When playing as a catcher in My Player when you had to field bunts they were being hit to hard and the pitcher was fielding them.

• There was a crash when returning to landing screen after first round playoff games in career mode when you have a post season goal.

• My Player: The camera is fixed / focused on a patch of grass / the field as the Game recap screen transitions onto the screen at the ending of a My player game and

Guys let's try to keep it civilized. Also remember what EG just posted on what this PATCH is supposed to fix.

• Show the pitch break arrows in two player games.


Can somebody explain this to me? Why would we want our head to head opponent see how our selected pitch type breaks? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this 'fix'. I'll test it tonight. But if the intention is to show how the pitch breaks while our opponent is sitting next to us, this makes NO sense to me.

Am I missing something?

Once again from the looks of and reading from pastapadre.com, us PS3 users are left in the Cold, this is why I sold my game on eBay last night, really not good from 2K, I spend 60 bucks to get no patch. I'm really considering not buying another game from 2K again. Sorry for the ramble, I just think its unfair, It puts there loyalty to customers in question as a company.

Back to the Topic.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

Do I have to delete something for this Patch to work? I DL the Patch this morning. So I thought I would try it out. I'm playing a Play Now game between the Yankees(me) and the Twins(cpu). So far I've hit 2 balls to Hudson, 1 with a runner on the other time nobody was on base. Both times after he fielded the ball he just stood like a statue. When the runner on 1st was going to 2nd he just stood there until the runner was almost at 2nd then he ran to the base after the runner was already there. I'm only in the 5th inning so I don't know about pitch counts yet. Oh yeah, does anyone know how to check swing? I sure can't.

• CPU pitchers were staying in too long/throwing too many pitches.

Is that only for the CPU because it was happening with the pitchers we were playing with too on the USER side?

Please tell me this entire mechanic has been fixed both BOTH sides with the pitcher fatigue resetting to 99.

Could someone please confirm.

It is post pitch, it wasnt showing the break on the ball thrown post pitch.
It is not going to show you how a pitch is going to break before the pitch is thrown.

That's normally a PS3 problem...not 2K's fault.

No. 2K didn't prepared it for ps3 this time. Get back to the topic.

I'm playing a game right now and Baker on the Twins was down in the 20's in the 9th inning, I went to the line up screen and it was back to a 99!

Three things here concern me...

1-How you saw Hudson freeze like a statue when fielding the ball. So you hit a ball right back at the pitcher and he froze?

2-Someone PLEASE confirm the bug where CPU and human ptihcers randomly recover fatigue. (It usually happened aroud 80-90 pitches or the 5th-7th innning)

3-To check a swing you must yank back on the thumbstick quickly after a contact swing or a power swing. (So up then yank back for a contact swing. And down-up then yank back for a power swing.) I saw a poster on 2K forums who said evewn when he checks his swing on a ball out of the zone, it still get called a strike. Can someone PLEASE try checking a bunch of swings and see how well it works?
