Major League Baseball 2K9 Patch #2 Details

[FenwayMac]

quick question.

In regards to people talking about adjusting AI Aggression, are you talking about the computer being more willing to swing at pitches outside the strike zone?

No they are talking about computer not taking strikes and swinging at pretty much every pitch

Any chance 2k will be tuning the pitchers a bit so if you dont time the circle perfectly it will effect your velocity and accuracy even moreso depending on a pitchers ratings? This along with tuning the batter aggressiveness to more realistic levels and smoothing out the fielding, fixing some of hte baserunning miscues, would go a long way to making this game play really well. I think this would add a lot to the pitcher duels and add more challenge and variety without overdoing it instead of being able to pinpoint everything so easily and wouldnt be that hard to do.

I'd also like it to be harder to make contact when batting. This game is a patch away and some tuning from being really solid. I'd love it if they can get it right.

I've officially shelved pre-patch MLB 2k9 for College Hoops 2k8. Choops 2k8 was one of the few games 2k got right. Too bad they shelved that one because they lost too much money on Prizefighter and All-Pro Football.

But I agree, MLB could be solid with a good patch. I was playin yesterday with my roommate, and 3 times I called home runs on him with a few men on base. When he asked how I did it, I just said I held up on the left stick and made solid contact. I went 3/3 calling home runs, it shouldnt be that easy. If they make the game harder, and fix the glitches, this game could compete with da Show.

they do make it harder, either change to zone hitting or change the difficulty, or what seems to be the best fix, put the power slider down so you won't hit HR's when you want to. Kind of easy if you think about it but more people are looking to bash a game then make it worth playing for themselves, i mean if you already spent the $65 on the game you might want to make it a little more challenging to yourself, instead of complaining about it, but hey thats just me. not pointing you out personally just read alot of these posts

I have tweaked power and stuff. But thats not a video game, playing on the hardest difficulty, and being told you need to fix the settings to make the game more harder and enjoyable. Id prefer rather letting the game depreciate in the box than spend hours on end trying to find settings for me. Not only that but I still have to deal with glitches, no no no not worth it.

One of the mods at 2K had this to say about the patch and outfielders:

"I do know that they plan to lock the fielders in place when fielding a fly ball. Most of the outfielder problems are caused by still adjusting when you're over the circle, that will be rectified by locking the fielder in place when they come to the circle.'
