Can't pitch with Parker?

[kpkpkp]

I didnt even know this bug existed.

I'm kinda upset about it since I started a new franchise a month ago with the most recent 2K rosters... and now Im realizing this bug is affecting several pitchers.

Ugggg. Waste of a month. Editing wont fix it either.

If I were to use MKharsh rosters from the trade deadline.. this bug wouldnt happen because his rosters were built off the original base file... correct?

So everyone should start a franchise with MK's roster.. correct?

To avoid this bug?

You can not avoid this bug without having "deleted" the old pitchers who had that bug and made new players.


By now I know of Jarrod Parker, Drew Smyly and Yu Darvish, who had/have this bug in the official 2k rosters. Since Mkharsh did his rosters based on the original 2k rosters I think the bug occurs with his rosters, too. But I am not sure, maybe he had a workaround. But this bug was in the original 2k roster, too.

I do not know if there are more pitchers out there that have this bug but I would not be surprised if it would be so.

As far as I noticed only rookies have this bug. And as I said I think there is no other workaround than "deleting" them. Maybe you Xbox-players should ask Mkharsh what he has done.

Too bad for you that you have no editor like we pc players have. And I can not understand why 2k didn't adress this with their patch or their new rosters.That is unprofessional, but that is 2k.

Last time I played, one of the D'Backs' young starters had the bug too. Think maybe it was Patrick Corbin. For all I know, it could affect different players for different people depending on the roster used or any number of other circumstances.

Really? I think thought everyone is affected by this. There should be no differences, everyone should have those problems with the same players. Otherwise it would make no sense IMO.

Thanks for the information wudl83. This is helpful to understand the bug, and who it happens to.

As for MKharsh's rosters, he has a CAP for Yu Darvish... so the bug wouldnt affect him in MK's roster. But in 2K's roster Darvish is bugged.

In my franchise I tried to pitch with Smyly and the bug happened to him. So I'm sort of bummed I played this franchise for a month without realizing I was using rosters with a few bugged players. (I started this particular franchise with 2K's most recent roster and did not use MK's. A mistake as it turns out.)

I did however notice when I was batting against Smyly in 2 different games that he pitched fine against me. So its almost as if this bug doesnt affect these pitchers when the CPU uses them. I cant confirm that I guess.. but Smyly pitched fine against me and once I switched sides and controlled him all his pitches turned red within a couple throws.

Weird.

I suppose the best thing to do is always use MK's rosters. Since he has CAP's instead of bugged players for a few of the bugged guys. And it doesnt affect the CPU when they use a bugged pitcher. So in the off chance you get a guy who is bugged, you'll just have to trade him to a CPU team who can use him and get a non-bugged guy in return.

Luckily this bug does not affect generated rookies you draft each year. At least not that I've noticed.

*sigh*

I will not miss 2K's MLB bugged games

As far as I can tell mainly those pitchers are affected which were already in the first official 2k roster and had those "fake names" but represented the real players. E.g. Darvish and Smyly were already in the first roster but under another name. Know what I mean? Players like Parker which already have a real name and a W/L-record are the exception. Normally those players do not have this problem.

So if Mkharsh has not used those fake players to make Darvish, Smyly, etc. out of them the chances are pretty high that his Darvish and Smyly don't have the problem. But perhaps other players have this problem, when he used those fake players to create other pitchers. Do you understand what I mean?

And regarding the piece I marked in your quote. I am sorry but I have to disappoint you. The problem affects the CPU, too. I do not know if this occurs in sim games also, but it definately influences the games you play. When you play against a bugged Darvish or Smyly you will crush them out of town in 9 out of 10 cases.
I once played a game against the Rangers and Yu Darvish and led by 8 or 9 to nothing after the first two. I made a hit nearly every at bat and Darvish pitched so damn poor I could not believe it. Then I switched the controller over to the Rangers and guess what you could see? Every pitch of Yu Darvish was red and this was why I was able to crush him...

OK. So you're saying that players who had a fake name that was changed to their real name in subsequent roster update have this bug. And thus this bug mostly affects rookies since they tend to be the ones who have the fake names untill they officially become part of the MLBPA after playing their first MLB game.

It must have something to do with the player loosing their player ID, or something else in the "background" programming us console player's can't fix. It's good you PC players can fix it though.

As you alluded to earlier. I guess the only way around this is to delete the bugged guy and make a CAP (create a player) with exactly the same pitches/skills/potential... etc etc. You loose his stats of course, but thats not as bad as the player being bugged I suppose.

Also as far as MK's roster. I think he did make a CAP for Yu Darvish, and other guys. So most likely this bug doesnt affect Yu Darvish in MK's roster.

But MKHarsh can answer that better than I. Im not sure if made CAP's in his roster built off the original 2K rosters to create rookies/prospects or not.
