Re: MLB 2K11 Patch Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here [UPDATE: Patch Notes Add

I like the patch so far too, it has addressed most (not all) of the issues I have encountered.

Everything is running very smoothly now, no stutters when the ball is put into play. In general the game looks better (less jaggies) and plays just much better overall, even at the default settings. I think the fielding is more responsive and fluid now as well. The hit variety and quality also seem to be improved too (less soft liners, more grounders).

I have seen a few odd graphical oddities like the catcher "skating" instead of running when he's trying to field a foul ball that is popped up. Speaking of catcher popups, I'm also happy to see that there are fewer popups to the catcher now, that was a little crazy before.


I'm disappointed that my favorite mode MLB Today, still is not working correctly or even as good as MLB 2K10. Examples, the Pitcher stats are not there for the year, current player stats are always be correct, etc. It's still a fun mode but I thought they would be cleaning that up.

Regarding fatigue, I don't play franchise much but I like to play the Post Season game mode as a mini-franchise. And unfortunately the fatigue fix did not affect this mode (at least not as far as I can tell). Anyone have input on this? I like to play this mode with my buddy over several weekends, and it would help if the system would track the pitchers used and their fatigue so we can't use them again or overuse relievers next time we play.

Overall I'm happy with the patch and current game state, and if we don't get another patch I can enjoy this game for a long while. This should be a good foundation to build on for next year's edition.

One game post-patch:

I put it on auto baserunning and noticed my runners are very aggressive, maybe too aggressive. Had three triples in first inning with Reds vs. Brewers and another occasions of a batter stretching what appeared to be a routine single into a double.

But that's better than the alternative. Base running was an abomination otherwise. Very cumbersome doing it manually (runner on third not moving on grounders hit to right side, etc.) So I'll take it this way.

Don't recall experiencing a single framerate hitch in a 6-inning game. Fielding appears smoother. Cather, oddly, overthrows pitcher tossing the ball back. Hope that doesn't become an issue with runners on base.

I wish the graphics weren't so damn dark. Needs to be brighter.

"I wish the graphics weren't so damn dark. Needs to be brighter."

That sounds like a TV issue. This game isn't really that dark...

2 triples for me one for each team. I think the baserunners are a step to fast now. Maybe from cleaned up animations of something.

I'm playing my 1st game since the patch. It's a MLB Today game, Yankees(me) at O's(cpu).I'm playing on pro with no slider changes. The Cpu is almost TOO aggressive now. I'm in the field in the 3rd inning of a 1-0 game, I'm winning. I go to turn a 3-6-1 Double play and before Jeter turned to throw back to 1st, the batter was trying to take 2nd!!?? I have to play a little more but this seems too much.

Looks like there's definitely a new glitch with CPU batters in a double-play situation. I posted this in the bug/glitch thread:

CPU had a runner on first. Grounder hit- I threw to second to get one out and then to first to try for a double play. Runner was safe at first, but then ran through the bag and took off for second while first baseman still had the ball. First baseman tags runner out for double play.

Go ahead and add me to the list of guys that have seen this. Exact same situation occurred in a game I played last night.

I'm still having the issue of created player names showing up as "######" in Franchise mode on the Headlines screen. The patch notes say this was fixed, but apparently not. Am I right in assuming I'd have to restart my franchise for that to take effect?

I also had a CPU batter beat out a double play, only to be tagged out when he ran for second.

Wonder if this double play glitch could be tied to base runner aggression slider? What are you guys using?

SMH. Does anyone know lowering running aggression alleviates this?

I was about to say that I was using default All-Star, but I might have still had my old sliders going, which had runner aggression pushed way up.

For those using the PC version, what controller are you using to play the game with?

Keyboard and I'm fine with it.
