guys... let's bring it back... bring it back around to being about the patch. This is the kind of thing that becomes annoying when people try to find info in a thread that's already several pages long. I'm not trying to play administrator or anything, but come on, we're clogging up the thread here. Good argument though!

How are the Inside Edge Batter Breakdowns looking? Are different for each batter. Thanks

I can see a possible reason why EA got out of the PC sports game business. I think most people would understand their position and have more practical expectations, rather than preferring an all or none situation. It's pretty ridiculous how expectations have spiraled around here.

Re the patch, [from a casual baseball fan's PoV] I played a few innings this morning and thought there was discernible improvement in how the game played. Nothing huge, just an overall improvement. Biggest thing to me were the check swings, which worked well

Thanks 2k for shafting the PS3. I tried to enjoy 2 bball games this season. What a waste of money!!

Just finished my first game post-patch.

Impressions:

1) Pitcher Fatigue: I honestly can't say if things are better or not. I played Dodgers (me) vs. Cubs, and they started Randy Wells. Don't really know that much about this guy, so I don't know if he's a workhorse or not, but he made it into the 6th inning with 100 pitches. They pulled him before the seventh, and he finished with 114 pitches. To me, that's still pushing it being that the "average" number of pitches thrown per game is between 95-98. I did notice that the pitcher fatigue bar did reset after the third inning. He was in the 30's in stamina (I was working the count), and then it reset to 99. I am playing with Pitcher Fatigue at 70 in case it matters. This is pretty frustrating, as the pitcher stamina issue was the main thing that I was hoping would be fixed in this patch. 2K needs to get this taken care of in Patch 2.

2) Check Swing: Actually saw one by the CPU, and it was called a strike. Looked good.

3) A.I. Managing: I guess this kind of ties in with the Pitcher Fatigue issue as well, but after I got Wells out, the A.I. brought three other pitchers in. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary like pitchers being left in to lead off an inning (which the Cubs had in the 8th), so that was a big relief. I guess it's better....?

Pitcher Fatigue ABSOLUTELY needs to get fixed. Really takes a lot out of the strategy of the game, IMO.

I honestly dont know why 2K even puts out games for the PC. In my honest opinion i wouldnt, there is no point. They arent high on the priority list, its 20 bucks yet probably more then half the people pirate the game anyways. I would just discontinue it.

In this day and age when it comes to multiplat games and PC games. PC games are far far far low on the priority list with getting fixed. ITs just the way it is. Its a MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller demo.

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me and I'm just seeing what I want to see, but is anyone noticing a slight reduction in jaggies overall? It appears that maybe some of the jaggies have been touched up a bit (I believe the shadows look a bit smoother). I'm thinking maybe its just a figment of my imagination, since I'm not even certain developers can fix jaggies via patches.

I'm noticing a slight reduction in jaggies as well. I'm going to delete the patch to check for sure.

I agree about the fatigue thing.

I hope this gets truly fixed next time.

As for the check swings;

Do you see appeals to the umpires on check swings? Like when you or CPU checks their swing, do they show the ump make the call?

ive seen the appeals so its def in there.

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

Well, lets keep in mind that the MLB regular season has not yet started. Hopefully they can come out with patch 2 and really improve the important things by around opening day. Errors is by far the most important issue.

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

Has anyone deleated everything and restarted the game? I have a My Player going but if deleting everything works it will be worth it.

I'm nearly positive an appeal to the ump was made, but I'll be sure to keep my eye out for this next time for sure.

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

OK, I deleted the patch to compare graphics and there is a DEFINITE reduction in jaggies. Post patch, the edges of the pitcher's mound are quite a bit smoother and you can really notice the scoreboards and other outfield areas look less jagged when batting......it's not totally jaggie-less, but it is better now.

I can take some pics for comparison if you guys want, but I'm not sure how good it would look with a digital camera, but take my word for it, it's an improvement (you can test for yourself by clearing your cache).

With that said, after the patch I have noticed a bit of frame rate hitching while base running from the My Player view, but it's not bad, and it's mostly when I pan the camera with the right stick, so I guess that's the trade off for having a little more anti aliasing to smooth out the jaggies. I'll take it because for the most part, the framerate is still just as smooth overall.

I actually tweeted Ronnie2K a response stating that I bought 2K10 over the Show and this is how you treat me? His answer was this, "Maybe you don't know the whole story... read my patch post again and read into it what you will."

I can't read his patch notes (http://bit.ly/cnChQ9) at work. Anybody able to decipher what he meant?
