Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

[dansaint]

what about us without XBox live capabilities (us still stuck with Dialup?) Anyway to help us out? THe only thing I am concerned about his the Padres fix. The framerate thing I am not too concerned about.

So basically they're going to ignore the online lag issue indefinitely? If so, I hope that's the next issue they patch.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

Yes I would like an answer to this. I have seen one steal in 20+ games so far attempted from the CPU. This is also with the sliders adjusted.

I have seen the CPU attempt as many suicide squeeze plays (two) on me as they have regular stolen base attempts (also two). For the record, both stolen base attempts were unsuccessful, but both suicide squeezes were successful.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

They are going to fix the framerate issue for the 360 but not for the PS3?

I have the PS3 version and that is very disappointing that they will not be fixing the framerate for it... Does that mean the PS3 version will not be equal to the 360 version even though Brinkman insisted it would?

Why all of a sudden can the framerate for the 360 be fixed when they had over a year to get it right in time for shipping?

If you don't know anybody with live (you could just take your machine to) there IS a way to get on live with dial-up.
It won't be fast enough to play games obviously,but you would still get the benefits of d-loading patches.

It's sad that almost all of 2K's games require this type of activity post release. It's almost becoming par for the course. I will say however, EA has been in the same boat and if there is any silver lining here, 2K seems to get the aptches out sooner than later....

Well...in another mod post on the 2k forum, they state the online lag issue is related to the framerate...basically saying when they fix the framerate, the lag online will get better...

I'm not sure I believe that however....the pitcher/batter interface doesn't lag, it's the fielding. I'm going to be REALLY disappointed if the online doesn't clear up.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

In all due respect WHY?! are they NOT improving the framerate of the PS3 version? WHY?! they need to be scolded for NOT even considering the PS3 user. Its a utter travesty. Pay 63 for a inferior game? And then not have the possibilty of it being updated in the future like it's other multi platform offerings?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

I think the big question is will 2K Sports be fixing the framerate issues for the PS3 also? Is it just me or have they really not said one way or the other? They have not out and flat out said they will not be fixing the PS3 framerate issues but they also never said they are going to either. If you could get a definitive answer on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

-Franchise games seem to freeze every 4-5 games near the late innings

So this isn't just my copy? I was thinking about exchanging it because I've had a couple of INFURIATING late-game freezes. I wish they'd have addressed that instead of the framerate.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

1) Framerate issues
2) League Sliders + Fantasy Draft like last year
3) On-line Lag
4) More accurate Stat Tracking
5) Effective Steal / Hit and Run Sliders
6) That dumb 2nd / 7th inning commentary. It's awful to put it lightly.
7) Jerseys that were available last year to be re-added

Yeah, I found it a little problematic when reading a post about the PS3 version is basically its not even confirmed that the PS3 framerate issues can be fixed with a patch. It's bascially the PS3 hardware itself. Then to compare your game to the Madden series, just blew my mind. Shows you the dedication to their product.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

exactly, I think producers are setting a precedent to release a half-finished game early to get more sales and then try to fix it later. I'm wandering if I should just wait a couple months after new games are released....

I've learned this lesson from 2K. I haven't purchased a game on release day in a few years. Never again. I wish everyone could show a little patience. Maybe they'd stop releasing incomplete games.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Patch Update

After hearing this news on no patch for the PS3, my Game will be on ebay tonight. I lost all respect in a lot of people who make and work on this sorry excuse for a baseball game. I'm done.
