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

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

a couple more things, i too have noticed that the jaggies are cleaned up. the graphics actually look a lot better to me. i really noticed that right away.

the check swings that i saw had some appeals to the umpires along with the commentary for them. if it was a ball, it would be a ball. its just a shame that you cant check swing on classic control. i dont have any interest in using the swing stick.

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'm glad you posted something because I thought I noticed an improvement too as soon as I started My Player. But I thought it was my imagination and wishful thinking. I did not go as far as you did and delete the patch and check it, so it's really true then great news! I didn't think they would be able to do something like this is a small patch.

It would be nice to see some comparison pics if you get a chance.

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?

The patch was only submitted to MS and not Sony because MS helped them out to release the patch early.

There will also be another patch for the 360.

The PS3 will get both patches combined as one.

So worry not PS3 gamers, you are getting the same patching as 360 users.

Cool, good stuff Jeffy.

Can you check out the changes I made to the bug list before I email it to Ron2K again?

He emailed this morning and is waiting on the updated list.

There is nothing wrong with the swing stick at all. Its a great mechanic, and if more people gave it a chance instead of blindly going with the "tried and true" they would have a much better gaming experience.

The developers purposely nixed many of the other batting methods because they wanted to give full attention to their swing stick mechanic to really get it right. I applaud them for doing that, because, as a result, the swing stick has turned into a great and surprisingly deep batting mechanic.

i prefer timing & attributes myself.not moving a "stick" to obtain a certin swing type.no check swings in classic hitting=a gatt damnnn shame/

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

All I will say is patch #2 better be a whole lot better than this.

It seems they just completely ignore the biggest gripes...gameplay issues.

This is pretty disappointing to say the least.

Just a whole lot of fluff and very little substance with this patch.

The list looks great, man

Thanks for taking the time to put that together. I hope 2K puts it to good use.

I can't stand the draft in franchise mode. Without potential it is just a guessing game this is a must fix for franchise mode!!!

Kevdood, thank you very much for your hard work. It is much appreciated.

I can't seem to access the bug list you are referring to, but here are 2k's patch 2 priorities, imo....

1. Errors and injuries.
2. Arm strength for OF.
3. The double switch issue (pinch hitting for the pitcher and then leaving that player in the game at another position.
4. Sac fly RBIs being miscredited. (hit a sac fly with Skip Schumaker to drive in Felipe Lopez. Brendan Ryan, the next batter up, was credited with the RBI)
5. Players do not tag up on fly balls.
6. Fixing the "fatigue glitch". Should probably be higher, but at least the CPU removes their pitcher at somewhat appropriate times.
7. Stealing difficulty. You can only steal off of pitchers with very slow deliveries or on bad pitches in the dirt.


That's just my opinion. Not all are bugs, per se, but they are issues. Again, thanks for the hard work.

They were working on this one before the game was released. My thought process is that they wanted to get this patch out to fix the easy stuff and then release the next patch as the outfield arms and fatigue might take longer to fix. ie the fluff takes less time to fix than the substance.

I could be wrong, too.

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

Guys, we all already know what the "issues" are pre-patch. Unless you have IMPRESSIONS about this current patch, I advise you keep the chatter out.

There's a thread dedicated to the glitches and bugs. Post in there or don't post anything at all.

I don't even know why I have to say the obvious here.

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

And yet you continue to buy PC sports games???? lol
And you are right in that PC gamers are an after thought to sports gaming makers but that is probably because "console" sports games sell alot more then PC sports games.

Of course I will! The graphics and playability is ALWAYS better! we just get shafted for patches! The xbox360 is a cheap knock off PC that is pre-programed and has far inferior processing and graphics power then my PC. Also I can edit uniforms, rosters pretty much anything I want on a PC game. The xbox360 I have no access to any of the game files unless I want to take apart the entire system and hack the HDD. I know why console gaming is so popular and I'm not debating that here. I am just tired of hearing the PS3 people complain cause at least they HAVE a patch coming, while PC users gave $30 to a company that couldn't careless about fixing the issues with that platforms game.

Since my buddy own the 360 version and we played it post patch here is my impression of the patch: could have been better.

That's not a constructive impression.

Anybody else try to play slick like this will not get a pass.

I want anything not doing with the patch done with. Next comment not about the patch gets an infraction for Off Topic posting and on it will go until people get the idea.
