Post-patch impressions. Comments welcome.
Stealing remains absolutely broken, including pitcher pickoffs. CPU is always way safe (stealing success at "5"!), human always out.

This is not true. You have to learn how to steal and take the right jumps.

I can steal bases and I can throw out base runners stealing against me.

Is it hard? Yes, definitely. However, I'm not convinced it's broken. I studied how the CPU takes jumps and been doing the same with some success. Convinced I need to do better and can do better.

Agreed, I don't have a problem stealing bases or catching the CPU. It just doesn't happen all the time which I like. I'm glad it's not easy to do either.

Why are people saying no errors? I had three errors in my first game after the patch. All counted as errors in the box score too. Pre-patch I was also seeing errors. It is in the game but not something you see all the time. We are playing a pro game and not as the Bad News Bears.

League average error total for team: 96


I've seen two errors (catcher) and one OF error. NO IF errors. People continue to try and talk themselves into the idea that the lack of fielding errors is okay. It isn't. Not if you want a real baseball game.

How much longer did they leave him in the game after that? How many pitches did he throw before being taken out? Leaving a guy in in the 5th on 109 pitches isn't horribly bad. Especially if the manager wants to save the bullpen and not have them throw 5 innings, it also gives the pitcher the opportunity for getting the win.

Except that it was spring training.

I completely agree with this post.

Some gamers helped me start this thread over at 2Kforums; you should read it if you are struggling with stealing.

I don't think this game uses any different managing logic for spring training or regular season games.

I got in a couple games last night and got stuck on some cut scenes that froze the game up twice. The first time I rebooted, the second time I subbed in a new pitcher and that "unstuck" it, but I also lost Lester who was throwing a gem and put in a cold Papelbon who faced Arod. Guess what happened? POW!

I actually can steal a bit now, and have also thrown out stealers. Do we have any control on slide type though?

One more question. If I decide to trudge forth with this season, when the next patch comes out, will it take effect on my current franchise, or will I need to start over again? I know that roster updates lock in, but what about all the other changes?

thanks!

I played the demo and hate the tight camera. Any word if they might patch in a pulled back camera angle like they did last year? I won't be getting this until it's in the bargain bin anyway. but I'll never understand why they think we don't want to watch our homers fly into the stands. The current camera takes away from the excitement and feels a bit claustrophobic.

So true in this game, about 99% are throwing errors. I have played alot of games, and i have not got an infield or outfield error yet.

This is probably one of my biggest beefs with the game. It's really bad when playing at Fenway because you can't even see the Green Monster and the balls coming off it. The fielding in the game needs the most work of anything. From no errors to automated fielding to no camera options.

I really don't like HRs being a dead give away with the arrow at the wall. I hit a ball off the top of the wall with Cabrera and I knew it wasn't a HR because there was no error. I always turned HR celebration off in the Show because I liked the suspense. I wish they would add a similar option here.

It seems as if presentation went down a notch after this patch. Used to be when I was batting and not pressing any buttons, the batter would ease into position and his stance, now the batter will just "cut" to being in his stance, used to be a smooth transition, not anymore.

Also, quite a few times last night my game froze up and the camera view would just keep changing showing an empty field with guys in the dugouts just turning in circles.

Yeah the "tight" camera following balls in play is a beef of mine too. Especially in Fenway park, I know exactly what you mean.

I dont care about HR's being dead giveaways so much, since usually they are in real life anyways... And when they are not dead giveaways you see the option to wall clib etc etc...

But the tight camera does bug me.

Like if you're going to hit one off the Green Monster in Fenway for a doube I wish the camera panned back a little. Or on pop-ups too for that matter. I'm always just walking under the circle it tells me too, and not ever actually seeing the pop-up rise and then dip.

Like last year you could set the action cam to 'dynamic' or 'classic' etc etc.

I wish something like that was back this year, the action camera this year focuses on the player too much and not the ball itself.

(Not that any of this talk has anything to do with post patch impressions.)

...niche market of console gamers.

I wouldn't exactly describe console gaming as a "niche market".

I think it's the other way around. PC Gaming has become the "niche market" and console gaming is the standard.
