They definitely did something with the new roster update. I downloaded and played with the previous one, 5/13 i think was the date, and the difference is huge. The ball was jumping off the bat, and i gave up a HR in the 3rd inning-after going the last 5 or so games with out giving up a single HR.

BTW, I had the game freeze on me last night for the first time in over a month.

It was at the "let's check out the league leaders in _____ graphic" in the 6th inning. I tapped A and boom. Frozen.

I blamed it on my wife who had just walked into the room

Mine are pretty evenly distributed. If you pitch away all the time, the homers are going to opposite field. If you pitch inside they will get pulled.

But that's not real baseball. The vast majority of HRs hit are pulled by players in real life. The only guys that show significant opposite field power are guys that hit 30+ HRs and even guys like Bautista still pull most of their HRs. Go ahead and pull the hit charts up on MLB.com for any player and track how many home runs are hit to the opposite field. It's rare for the average baseball player.

True, but the majority of pulled HR's in real life are from pitches that were middle of the plate or on the inner half. It's much harder to pull an outside pitch. 2K did a pretty good job of reflecting that in this game, though it's not perfect because guys that have a ton of power can pull outer-third of the plate stuff, but even so, I'm guessing the majority of Bautista's homers weren't on pitches on the outer-third.

Regardless, this is something that is kind of hard to perfect in a baseball game, and I think the system in 2K11 is pretty good especially since it provides such nice hit variety in general. If this is one of the biggest gripes, then clearly we have a pretty darn good game on our hands.

^^^^

Exactly.

A couple of years ago everyone complained about how it didn't matter where you threw the ball, players were pulling HRs on the outside of the plate and hitting ones to the opposite field on the inside of the plate.

I think they have it very close to correct, now.

Is there any footage or video of this game post patch? I'm thinking of picking it up again, but not sure if it's worth it.

If you can't find anything, let me know. I could make a video of the PC version.

Thanks man, good heads up, guess we could work together and give impressions for the PS3 side of the house? I took back the show because it lost its "fun factor" in terms of how baseball should be played.

I just hope I don't regret downloading it lol. Let's just hope there isn't a big bug in the PS3 patch.

I'm going to turn injuries back on and see how that goes. I can't wait to see fatigue works and since nobody here has answered me as to how the game handles DH fatigue I'll find out for myself.

I would imagine that it would be the same as the others. I mean I really dont see a huge problem with these impressions. I will say with the latest roster update it seemed that it was taylored towards the patch. I am currently working on the minors and prospects for my 'chise using the latest roster set so if you want it let me know. I am med school so give me until this weekend to get the improtant folks in like harper, rizzo, ackley ect...but I do a real nice job making players look like they are supposed to and gear all sweet so there you go. I def cant wait until the patch drops soley because I am tired of the crap baserunning speeds that happen and other factors. I ESPECIALLY love that the 2k1- baserunning camera is back. It will help alleviate the bad graphics that rear its ugly head when the ball is in play.
