what level are you guys playing? I play default legend put teh fielders are not responsive what so ever. i have upped the fielders speed to 50 that seemed to help. I also upped pitching speed to 100. I just got this came yesterday after trading in "the other game" for it.

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.

Unfortunately, I booted up my franchise and there is still no way to edit cpu lineups when you have control of all 30 teams. You can still do call ups and send downs, but cant change the lineups or rotations.

I don't think you will have to change much with this patch from whatever sliders you were using pre-patch. The arms are toned down a little so you can drop base running speed one click from where you had it. I think fatigue is more pronounced so I dropped it two clicks. Pitching accuracy is definitely tougher so I dropped the cpu contact one click.

I am wondering if the pitch movement slider has a greater effect. That slider did pretty much nothing pre-patch. I've got it at 100 and I notice the fastballs being much less accurate and the two seamers really tailing away now. Some guys aren't noticing a big difference in pitch accuracy while I think it's very noticeable. I'd be curious to see where they have pitch movement at.

Im glad pitching is more difficult, but I havent played a game on my sliders yet. Hopefully it doesnt mess things up to badly.

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

I actually walked 4 guys in one inning (two intentional) and gave up 4 runs. I got a little scared, but then I didn't give up a run the final 8 innings, nor did i walk another batter.

pitching is a little harder, but it could even be a little more difficult, IMO.

These are my USER pitching sliders:

Pitch Meter Speed: 100
Pitch Speed: 65
Pitch Break Influence: 100
Pitcher Composure Influence: 100

The most important aspect of control is knowing which way a pitch will break based upon where you stop the pitch meter (either inside or outside the circle). I've noticed the pitch most affected by this is the slider, which now breaks really hard and also fastballs that no longer easily paint the corner.

Game is a ton of fun online now. Since the patch i am 5-2. I beat the 12 ranked dude shut him out. I dont know how, dude had 500 games played. lol Guess he was a cheeser, he turned the game off after a few innings, but i still got the W.

Pitching is better, pitchers actually get rattled easier which is nice. Outfielders slowing down is tough adjusting to only because i know pre patch my guy would haul superspeed to make the catch. lol I am actually see'ing hits over the outfielders head.

Damn, only wish there was errors and i would say for my style of play i would give it a solid 9, but no errors brings it down a tad.

I think you are talking about the Pitch Break Influence. That doesn't actually affect how much break you get. It affects the CPU's ability to hit breaking pitches.

Check Swings have officially made me a dangerous hitter online. I am glad I can pull away from garbage, especially those Sliders that I have a weak spot for.

I think they even tuned the check swing some for the 360. It's been easier to pull off since the last patch. And it is so nice to get bailed out when I start to swing at those low and away pitches that give me fits.

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

Here's a new problem caused by the new patch! Welcome back to 2k9!

Created players can no longer be given signature styles as their batting stances. I gave Ryan Zimmerman's stance to a created player. In the player edit screen, that was his stance. In the "drills" mode, however, he has the standard wide/low stance.

Also, with Torri Hunter, you get the standard wide/high stance.

As far as I can tell, this only happens with created players. I changed Colby Rasmus's stance and it took.

I'm just glad 2K is doing such a good job with the rosters this year. I have no desire to mess with edited rosters at all. MLB Today is pretty much all the game I need now. I might give online another try, and see if the lag has improved.

That is until you start a franchise, then take a look at how bad the rosters get. They are all wrong immediately, even before spring training starts.

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

Okay, apparently this patch fixed more than what was in the notes. this is

1. weird that 2k would fix something and not tell us about it

and

2. ABSOLUTELY stupid of them not to tell their customers that they fixed big issues, especially considering their current PR problems.

The first thing they fixed that was NOT in the notes was the double switch issue. You can now leave your pinch hitter in the game, and there is an option for both "sub pitcher" and "double switch". I think they tried to sneak this one in. You could NOT do this before, but they tried to make it seem like it was there all along. Why they wouldn't at least take credit for fixing a big bug is beyond me.

Second, they fixed the issue with spring training stats. Your 2010 spring training stats were being added to the 2009 regular season. For instance, if you club 3 homers with Albert Pujols is spring training in your new franchise, he would be number one on the list for most homers with 50 in 2009. He would also be credited with about 180 games played in his player stats from 2009. this is no longer the case.

Third, there is rumor going around that generated rookies no longer cause franchise mode to freeze. I haven't confirmed this.

WHY wouldn't 2K take credit for this. Surely they couldn't have fixed this by accident.

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

Just to add another reason why it's weird and stupid for 2k not to include everything in their notes....

I know a LOT of people who traded in their game before the patch dropped when they saw the notes. Now it turns out that there are more fixes than they took credit for.

Their own fault. They're screwing themselves out of money.
