Re: Operation Sports MLB 2K13 Impressions Thread

How are the homerun totals?
I found last year, playing with classic hitting, I had to up the power to about 65 or more in order to get any HR's.
Has that been improved?

Also, if you do play with analog hitting, are you able to hit any dingers using contact swing? Or do you still need to use power-swing to get any HR's?

Thanks!

I've been using classic from the start. In three games, I've hit 2 and the CPU has hit the same. Maybe I'll post some box scores or something. I will most likely finish up my Pirates series here soon.

Can you check to see if check swings work this year using classic hitting by simply releasing the button like every other game has it. In 2k12 you had to double tap which is basically impossible.

I believe it's still double tap.

Sound like some things have been tweaked gameplay wise. Have anyone seen the pause glitch that happens when a runner rounds 3rd and heads home and when the ball is thrown from the outfielders, the cutoff man gets the ball and pauses for a second and does that back step? allowing inside the park home runs often. Has anyone seen this happen with the CPU?

Nope, I have not. Haven't seen any AI glitches or problems.

I've noticed in some of the vids, there's that brief freeze after the bat meets the ball, do you notice that?
I know that was fixed with a patch for the 360 last year.

Money unfortunately I've seen this during my time with the game. It doesn't happen every time, but it does happen

Thanks for the update!
It's disappointing, but hopefully they can patch it eventually.

Just so you know, for me it didn't take away from the experience

I'm glad that's not in the game if indeed they fixed that issue. I still see the jogging too the ball by the second outfielder which is disappointing. If they can fix that, I would be in baseball heaven. Also if they can update the player pics too update they teams. Hopefully they can patch these issues.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 2K13 Impressions Thread

Played 2 games online. It was a bit rough.

In the first game, I had like 3 glitches happen to me when trying to catch a ball in the outfield. It would do that thing where you'd run to the place where the ball was set to land, but not catch it, with the ball just bouncing right in front of your fielder.

The second game was better. There was a major framerate drop on ground balls hit in the infield.

I don't personally own the game right now, but I've played quite a bit at Best Buy.

I'm not going to lie, I went all the way to the register until I took back the bundled MLB/NBA 2K13 deal. For whatever ridiculously stupid reason, I thought it was $59.99. Seeing that it wasn't, I didn't have the cash on me to fully purchase it with my Tomb Raider pre-order as well. I would really like to own this game and give it a fair shake, and I certainly will do so when the time comes. It would be extremely tough to juggle three baseball games in one year (I'm getting PYS as well), but I think it's possible.

I like a lot of what this game has to offer, provided the right adjustments. If they had an overall better hitting system, this would be a no-brainer. I think that's my biggest fallback with this series at the moment.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 2K13 Impressions Thread

Bigs and Mk you guys always seems to make the game better each year with sliders and rosters no i'm not worried to much.

I like what you guys have said , i agree!!!- not much we can do since there are no other baseball games for 360 this year and i'm a baseball fan on 2k... I'll stick with 2k13 and learn to love it, i don't get to much gaming time anymore and when i do it mostly baseball and football and wrasslin with my boys.

I'm sure it will be fun - i don't mind trading a few old games in for 2k13.- peace

I'll post impressions 9ish PT.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 2K13 Impressions Thread

Just booted it up. I knew it wasn't going to be much different in the menu's and stuff but it's still weird looking at an almost carbon copy of 2k12.

Pros: The colours are great. The game play is smoother. The commentary is updated (and good, as always) and there's a roster update on 2kshare from 02/28.

Cons: No classic All-star teams. (Taken out) The 2kbeats music is awful.

Overall, I still like this game better than anything else and I own a PS3.

P.S. I hate to say this but hoping for a patch or much of anything in the support/update area is probably going to leave you disappointed.
