Re: MLB 2K11 My Player and Franchise Impressions

In my second game of spring training using my Braves franchise, Dan Uggla slid into second and hurt his back. He is out 35+ days.

You'd be surprised at the number or injuries in real life during 162 games. Might be a little high but not that far off.

I guess a lot of it has to do with how much people like to micro-manage things like injuries.

Personally, I would like to see something in all sports games that gives you the option to automatically give someone 3 days off or something if it is minor or have them play through it. Something that is set up under 'coaching settings' or something.

is it my game or whenever im like in 7th 8th n 9th inning of franchise, it becomes very laggy and im not sure what to do about it but its really annouying

[thisisasticup]

the rates of injuries are ridiculous... at least one in 5 times I slide, a player comes up lame, whether its a minor injury or a serious one... I lost 3 starting pitchers through 15 games in my franchise (braves) without once going over the PC cap. Also lost 4 position players in that span... all of of slides. I love the game, but with the injuries and fatigue, it makes it unbearable at times.

Re: MLB 2K11 My Player and Franchise Impressions

I have not yet picked up the game, but I've read about the fatigue issue.

Does this issue affect simmed games in addition to played games? In other words, if I sim 5 games, will the CPU utilize the bench and bullpen correctly, or do I have to micromanage that stuff on a game by game basis?

If the simmed games actually rest players, then starting a franchise before the patch drops seems workable; if not, it sounds like it'd be rather tedious to check every single game to see who needs to be rested.

I believe fatigue works fine in simmed games. Not sure about the cpu actually resting players though.

Re: MLB 2K11 My Player and Franchise Impressions

was submitted to MS/Sony end of last week. usually it takes 10 days or so to get approved. Probably the middle, middle end of next week.

Is 30-team control necessary this year to prevent screwy roster management issues, or do you think you can get by without it?

All I have to say:
mid-way through Spring Training - Ryan Howard out for 2 months.
Opening day - Roy Halladay out for 4-6 months
2nd week - Cliff Lee out for 2-4 months.
Meanwhile: Still in week 2 - Ibanez out for 6 weeks, and Victorino also out for 2-3 weeks.

I thought I'd enjoy my great pitching staff... only to find out I'll get more games in with Kendrick, Bonine and Worley than with Halladay and Lee. Hoping for better times, I cannot even imagine who's heading to the DL next... maybe Utley? Polanco? or Rollins?

I feel your pain dude. In the 1st month I lost Lee for 2 weeks. Then later in the season I lost Oswalt for a month. Then I lost Hamels for the season. Oddly, my hitters have only gone down for a week at most, but the pitching staff has been decimated.
