2k really needs too patch the outfield play in this game. This have been a problem since 2011.
1) the pursuit of the ball in the outfield needs too be fixed. On some plays it seems that the player is forced too run in a certain direction, even if I try too control him.
2) The jogging glitch is still there, it was very apparent in 2k12, and it's still sticking its ugly head in 2k13. By no means should any player in the outfield, just jog too the ball in the gap, or on any play. Whether he is the primary fielder or not. There should be much more urgency too get too the ball in the outfield by every player. I hope this can be patched, and not in the coding of the game.
3) The pause glitch is still there. Like last year, when a runner rounds third and heading home, when the ball is thrown from the outfielder too the cutoff man, the cutoff pauses for about a second and does that backward step. Allowing for inside the park home runs. The players should be more aware of the situation and fire the ball home if there is a chance too get the runner. I hope this can be patched and not in the code of the game.
4) There is a black square box that is blocking the defensive adjustments screen when u trying too make adjustments in the infield and outfield. I think this can be patched up.
5) The catcher flying out glitch is still there, when u do a bunt the catcher flys out and even if the ball is near the pitcher, the pitcher just jogs too the ball allowing the catcher too get it and throw too first, sometimes allowing runs too get there, when the pitcher should have gotten the ball.
6) The crowd is still not getting loud and reacting too the situations at the end of the game. The crowd still sits even if its the last at bat and either ahead or trailing in a game.
7) it seems that the ball coming off the bat is still forced or predetermined too a particular location on the field so that the fielder can snatch the ball. There should be more variety of location coming of the bat. How many times have I seen the infielder leap out and snatch the ball in the infield too get the out. Something doesn't feel right about that.
Those are my grips, there is a lot I like about the game. The outfield play is terrible in 2k13 as it was in 2k12. If they only had 3 months too really put in any effort of development time, it went into colors of uniforms, some updated portraits of players and the Astros. The gameplay issues of 2k12 is still there in 2k13. So if there is a patch around June or July, I hope they concentrate on these gameplay issues. I hope it isn't coding, but can be patched up. If the outfield play is beefed up and fixed, this game too me would be golden. Here's too hoping and I hope they get it right this year.
