Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 PC Patch Available, Impressions Here
first let me state to the mods at OS that I object strongly to this not being a sticky thread like it's console counterparts
overall , the patch effects are kind of so/so...the outfielders now make plays they should have made since day one, but the infielders on my team still do not react properly to hit balls, either their first step goes in the wrong direction or they just don't move
there is STILL significant OF slowdown on balls hit in front of them
please remove baserunning controls for 2k10 away from the right stick...it is not intuitive
MAJOR stolen base bug..happens for CPU and human alike..multiple instances of beating a runner by three steps and the fielder just tags the ground...easy out turns into man in scoring position
kudos to 2k for deciding we should be able to actually strike guys out looking now...the biggest improvement of the patch
I am now severely questioning the effectiveness of the hitting sliders in this game..CPU contact at 0...still seeing 15-20 hits per outing, including mind numbing runs of 6 to 7 singles in a row that just kills my games...user power at 80...ZERO home runs in 5 games since the patch
Overall, the patch took a broken title and fixed it just enough to make it at least playable. I'll rate it a 6.5 post-patch and I am hopeful for the modders to make it better, but I will make no secret that I would love to see 2k stripped of it's third party exclusive. Finances rule out a console purchase right now so I play this title due to it being my only option
