I came here to see what this patch addressed...and apparently it works. I was dominating with my pitcher in "My Player" but now he's garbage. Haha. My pitches are all over the freaking place...it's almost to the point where it's *too* much tinkering with the settings because now pitches are almost a half-a-plate away from where they should be...

I'd like to point out that, in fact, you can now leave your PH in the game. When prompted to select a new pitcher, you are given an option to double switch. When you do, you are led through the process of selecting who comes out and which pitcher comes in. The new pitcher is in the slot of who you chose to leave, while your PH is now batting in the pitcher's slot, but listed as whatever position the player you took out was.

It's possible that this was always in the game, as it is not how I ever tried to execute this move. They also did not list this as a fix.

But this a huge deal for me.

Sorry, but the pitching thing is out of control now. No matter if I use Mo Rivera, Halladay, or some scrub in the minors, it's as if where you aim the pitch has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on where it ends up. This is ridiculous. Even when I hit the max rating with the right gesture, the pitch ends up half a plate away. If you don't hit the max rating...forget about it.

What are your slider settings? It's safe to say that they will now need to bre adjusted.
I played a game on pro, and while accuracy was down, it was still pretty easy.

Found a new, fun glitch today. Troy Glaus hit a ground ball to first, and on the play, I discovered that the Braves have discovered the secret to teleportation! Basically, when the ball was thrown to 2b to try for a dp, I pushed the slide button so McCann would try to break it up. About 2/3 of the way to 2b, McCann warps to the grass between 2b and the pitchers mound and proceeds to slide into the infield dirt halfway between 2b and 3b. The SS still jumped in the air and fell over while making his throw to 1b. Good job 2k! Real quality work your doing here!

Agreed. Heck, even using sliders I've been using before, I've still only walked 2 guys in 2+ games so far.

I don't think the check swing can be used with Classic (either system). I actually had a check swing with Boesch and they appealed to the 3B umpire and he called it a strike. That was something I've never seen. I've never actually got a check swing to be called a ball so far, even on balls out of the zone. I'm not sure if I was too late on it or not although I've only done it few times.




I've never stopped playing this game. I might not have played it as much as when I first got it but I'd still play at least a couple games a week and it's certainly harder to hit your spots. I'm certain of it. One issue I always seemed to have was that my fastball would only drift left on me with a right hander. Now I'm seeing it tail inside to RH batters. It's very noticeable imo.

I may be wrong on the double switch issue but I'm very happy with the pitch accuracy being tougher. I've hung a couple pitches in the middle of the plate and I would have NEVER done that pre-patch. It does seem as though the cpu hitters may swing at more stuff out of the zone. I've only played 2.5 games post patch but I think that was tweaked. My offense has sucked post patch too. I have a feeling that both offenses may have been toned down just a little. Too hard to tell from 2.5 games as I may just be in a rut (lost 5 of 6). I need to play more but tonight I have to watch "It's Complicated" with the wife.

check swing is in for classic as messing around for a while u need to quickly tap the X button on the ps3 to trigger the check swing

infact i checked swing 2 times in a row and both times the home plate umpire appealed to the 1st base umpire and he ruled it no swing

so its there

but then there was another time i checked swing with another batter and he chekced swing and it was called a strike by the 3rd base umpire

so its there indeed!

LOL.

Like I said, two steps forward, two or three steps back.

that happened a few times to me before the patch. its pretty rare though, i'd say in over 100 games i have seen it 2 or 3 times.

I double switched (left my pinch hitter in) as well, but it was by accidental button mashing and I haven't been able to replicate it. And it's too late to play more games....

They didn't adjust the pitching enough, if anything. Unless you don't ever want to miss location.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

After losing a game 1-0 to the Red Sox and actually pitching well, I got hammered by the White Sox 12-4 and gave up 24 hits. The bad pitchers can really struggle. I think people will really have to adjust. I'd always be able to spot my pitches and never walk anyone. Now I'm falling behind in the count and throwing more pitches than before. I've been giving in and Chicago really punished me for it.

I played a 1/2 game at Fenway this morning as well. I do think the one poster that suggested the fielding view is zoomed out a bit more may be right. I'm not sure but ever since he said that it does seem a touch better. Placebo? Who knows.

Twice now in 4 games post patch I've had the camera get stuck on the batter and the game not advance. I just hit the sub menu to get out of it but I never had that pre-patch. Small glitch.

I've had this happen to me before(pre-patch) while trying to steal with Michael Bourn. I was clearly going to be safe but when I hit X to slide he warped into the outfield between 2nd and 3rd and they called me out lol. It's only happened once so it wasn't too big of a deal to me, but it was frustrating at the time.

Early on in one game in my Franchise using Carl Pavano, he has 55 Control so you can imagine how hard it was to paint the corners. I was losing 3-0 in the 4th inning. My hitters managed to get me back in the game (the eventual score was a 6-3 ending). I can now paint the corners with Pavano, but the success rate is so hard! And you know, I like that because it shouldn't be easy, especially with a pitcher who has 55 Control. I play on Pro difficulty for the record.

EDIT: To add, when I closed the game with Joakim Soria - it felt so hard to use him, because he was able to paint the corners a lot better because he has a higher rating in Control. I think 2K needs to give us warm-up pitches like The Show has. This would be a huge help for when using a different pitcher since every pitcher (as it should be) is not the same.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I walked four batters and hit a guy in a game last night. The lack of control seems to be executed perfectly.

I think the auto-control of the fielders has been toned down, as well. Since the patch, I've had a few balls get through because I didn't get my infielder or outfielder in place in time.

I love that you can see the batters handedness on the pause screen now. Maybe next year we can view the bench players, too!

As I mentioned before, you can now leave a PH in the game, which was probably the number one problem I had with the game. Maybe next year we can also bat the pitcher 8th to start a game.

The lack of errors and injuries kind of makes franchise pointless. Not only is depth pretty irrelevant, but there is no reason to keep a poor fielder on the bench. If a guy is a weak hitter, he is of no use, because the "big bat, no glove" guy will perform just as well in the field.

I am geting an increase of the game hanging on a shot of the batter. At least using the submenu on the D-pad fixes this. But I also had one occasion where even the D-Pad didn't get the game back on track. And last night I had a freeze after completing an MLB Today game. Not a big deal, as I was done anyway, but it was a reboot the console freeze. But i have played several games, and the freezing is not terrible, but it is there.

Is MLB Today worth $60? Probably not. But I can tell you that MLB Today saved this game for me. I absolutely love it. I can understand that franchise guys are getting the shaft on this release. But there is still a lot of game here to enjoy, if you try.
