    Re: Patch Notes are Out

    Some of this stuff is still happening as of yesterday. I know I downloaded a 2MB patch when I put the game in. I assume that was the patch.

    This happened to me yesterday (Base runner trying to steal 2nd on 0-2 count, ball in dirt and batter swung and struck out, went to cut scene and runner was at 2nd base when the next batter came up:

    - Fix rare problem where a base runner would be moved to the next base when the play ended.


    I've seen several people complain and post videos about this though I haven't seen it happen:

    - Fix a rare bug where the same batter comes to bat after the pitcher was injured while on offense.

    I assume this is in reference to going through the wall to catch a homerun, recording an out and a homerun at the same time. I've heard people still having issues with this as well though it hasn't happened to me
    :

    - Fix problems where the player would go part way through a wall while making a catch or throw.

    - Fix problem where the player was playing the incorrect wall climb for the height of the wall.

    - Improve the wall climb detection so wall climbs are more likely to play if the ball is possibly playable.

        I didn't either. Makes sense though, it wasn't widely discovered until after release.

          Yesterday Ronnie at 2k acknowledged that the fatigue bug was new. He also stated that the HR robbing bug was fixed for some robbing animations, but was apparently missed for others.

            Sounds like we're probably another patch away from having a fully playable game (I think it's fair to say that the HR/Out issue can be a game changer and the fatigue bug can be a franchise breaker). Once again, it'll probably be a month+ after release until we get the game that should be expected and that is free of a major and somewhat common game impacting bug.

              Re: MLB 2K11 Patch v1.1 Notes

              I don't have the game yet but I'm a little confused about this:
              Fix problem with contract amounts that was causing some low budget teams to occasionally run out of money 10+ years into the franchise.

              I keep reading that players aren't getting big enough contracts so that there won't be many free agents because everybody has enough money to resign their guys.

                Okay, I have a question. I am a bit confused as to what you guys exactly mean about the fatigue in players in franchise mode. Can anyone explain this to me?

                  Quick question. Is there a way to get the patch somewhere else and put it on a flash drive? i don't have internet at home.

                    These contract "issues" people are seeing are coming up after 1-2 simmed seasons. Not 10+.

                      On the human controlled team the players do not fatigue from day to day if you manually play the games. For instance your starting pitcher will pitch a game and the next day he will have a fatigue of 99 (no fatigue loss). Position players are the same to my understanding. The players on the CPU controlled teams fatigue properly and all players, both human and CPU, fatigue properly if you simulate the game.

                        How does 2k Sports overlook something like that? That's just ridiculous! Thanks for the info though. I appreciate it.

                            If this is 1.1, doesn't that imply that this is a patch that has YET to come? The one on release day would have been 1.0. Am I missing something?
