Improved the look of gathers in certain uncommon situations.
Fixed the "auto pitch" bug after a double switch.

My Player

Fixed bug where game length could be set to 3 innings by setting it in Play Ball.
Fixed a crash that occurred when looking for season goals.

Considering that particular issue has been in the game since at least MLB 2K5, I'm guessing it didn't get fixed in the last patch this series will ever see, heh.

Sorry mate but this hasn't been an issue for me in 2k11...It became a problem for me in 2k12, but in 2k11 I saw the CPU bring in pinch hitters at the right time and not letting relievers take an AB.

But this problem becomes abysmal when you see the SU pitch in the 8th, then bat in the 9th before the CPU brings in the CL for him....

It's been a problem in every 2K baseball game for seven years now, never been fixed.

When they patched 2K11 they fixed this though, was hoping they would've fixed again for 2K12.

Nah, I would bet that it has been no problem anymore after that patch last year.

Oh okay my bad, I play 2K11 without a patch and the CPU never pulls pitchers in the 9th inning when it should.

So the question is: If 2K11 was broken like that last year pre-patch but then they fixed it, how in the world did 2K12 get released with the same broken programming logic that was originally in 2K11? Good grief.

Fielding and running definitely smoother. I have played over 60 games in franchise with my sliders and having a blast. Only headache for me was fielding and running, now that it is smooth,

I was really surprised and quite pissed when I realized that this flaw did occur again. I can't give you the answer. My guess is that the answer could be spelled "2k". ^^

Are there any changes noticeable regarding the problem that the cutt-off man doesn't advance the ball to homeplate although he could while a runner comes home? If fielding and baserunning looks smoother and the thing I stated is fixed than 2k12 could be a big game. If only the pinch hitting would be adressed.

Only solution now it would seem is to make the move for the CPU, but I think you would need to wait until you unlock all of the profile related achievements before switching sides in-game in order to make lineup corrections for the CPU. That way your profile still gets credit for the in-game stuff you do. Otherwise if you don't care about achievements then just take control of CPU team to make their in-game subs.

# 74 wudl83 @ 06/07/12 10:27 AM

To be honest I do think that there aren't any achievements for the PC version, right? At least I never noticed anything like that, although when switching sides while the game is going on a notification shows up (I never read it, to be honest, don't care for anything like that).

That's what I've been doing with this series since forever, heh. I've even subbed in defensive replacements and pinch runners for the CPU. You don't really play as a manager in MLB 2K, you play as commissioner/god.

Agreed LoL. I control all teams in my franchise, and I will make in-game subs once I get those achievements out of the way.

Gameplay is no doubt smoother... BUT just as dumb as it's always been.

Example: I had a runner at 1B and hit a routine double-play ball to 2B. He JUST STOOD THERE...and then, after it was WAY too late, threw the ball to 1B. I then proceeded to score 4 more runs...but it felt cheap.

Typical 2K... Plug one hole, but leave many still undone. Even after the patch, I'd give this game a 7.0 on a scale of 10. Not terrible, but still light years away from being a solid, simulation like baseball experience.

# 78 dubcity @ 06/07/12 07:42 PM

I wish they would make errors (as in plays that are counted/scored as errors) more accurate/realistic. Seems like it's impossible for a user controlled outfielder to commit a fielding error. A ball could be hit to me, I could literally not press a button, or I could even run in the opposite direction, allow the ball to go by me, and I won't get charged with an error. Ever. And all of the runs off of those plays are earned, of course.

Just now I threw a curveball in the dirt, it went by the catcher, the announcers referred to it as an error, but it didn't show up on the boxscore/scoreboard.

# 79 p00p1 @ 06/07/12 08:39 PM

It's not an error on an outfielder unless they drop the ball or make a bad throw.

# 80 dirtboyz @ 06/08/12 12:07 AM

The pitch is a passed ball not an error. The announcers AI logic is wrong calling it an error
