The ball getting stuck against a wall is horrible. Lost a game because no one could pick up a passed ball! so far it has happened in all 3 games i have played, the other 2 times it was in the outfield.
I don't know much about xbox, do they do patches? Is this something they would patch? I assume i would have to connect online. |

Yes, companies patch games on the 360. You must be online and have a free silver account to get a patch for the game. If a patch is available, being online with your silver or gold account and putting the game in will automatically attempt to download the patch.

And that's really a soft-shoe from Bill. The game is worse than THAT.

I had a good game last night on AS defaults against Kazmir and the Rays.. he shut me out, I only had 3 hits - Carpenter pitched well, but Mott was hammered and we lose 7-0.
There was a couple of goofy fielding animations that made me miss a routing flyball... but other than that, its been fun. The game plays smooth, so that's a major plus vs 2k8. I also love the living rosters! |

Have you had fielders refuse to chase balls even though you're pushing the stick in that direction? If the answer is 'yes' and you're still having fun, you are entirely too easily entertained. |

I bought my PS3 for The Show 08 last year after gettng 2k8 and being so disappointed. Best purchase I made. Played the hell out of 08, and now playing the hell out of 09. Plus you get a bluray player out of it.
If you have the money available .. get the PS3 and the Show. You WILL get your money worth. |

I know I plan to. Reading these comments has convinced me of that. I keep hoping it'll come down $100 though....or someone will put together a hell of a package to entice me. |

These living rosters are kind of cool, they also change things like shoe colors, batting helmet colors and what not?

after reading all this I think my RROD is going to save me 60 bucks. I have enjoyed the game in the past but I think I am going to go back to last years game, or even the year before which was pretty good.
might even try and find MVP 05 - everything I have read says that with the mods it is a pretty good option. |

MLB 2k8 was horrid.. and I think you should at least give 2k9 it a rent.

anyone get it for PC? It is only $20 and since my 360 is in the shop anyway, I thought I might go that route.

I got it. There are issues to be sure, but for 20 bucks I think its worth it. They sound like they will patch it, so hopefully the issues I've seen so far will get fixed.

Oh and I used to play MVP 05. I've been dieing to play an updated baseball game on my computer since that line was stopped.

It's good to hear there is a patch on the way. However I am still having a lot of fun with the game. It may be a bit flawed but fun nun the less.

This game has warts.. like my fielder sometimes going into a slow animation and misplaying a ball.. but the glitches are few and far between for me so far.
The first baseman glitch happened to the CPU tonight, thought that was kind of funny. As a total package though, I'm really liking what I'm seeing - it's not ootp like as far as stats go.. but I love everything they have been able to improve in this game. The replays are great, hitting is fun, pitching is a blast, commentary is top notch, I could go on...... I'm 2-2 on AS so far and each game has been different.. for me, that's all I can ask for. |

well I bought it on PC because of the price and because my 360 is in for repair, I installed in just an hour ago and well the fact I am posting here is not a good sign. It is not working at all with my not that old logtiech cordless controller and if I am going to have to buy a new controller, well hell I might as well just get the 360 version. anyone else have the PC version and using a controller that is working? |

Read the forums over at OS Agustus.. I thought I read about a fix to get wireless controllers working.

Controller selection possible fix...PC - Operation Sports Forums
glad I bought this from Amazon - it has to go back. I tried this suggestion and now 25% of the buttons work. then if you go in and map them 50% of the buttons work 50% of the time. what a waste of time. |

Just use your 360 controller. You just need a wireless PC adapter which will let you use all your 360 wireless things on your PC. I think it's about $15. Microsoft makes it.

Here's a couple more 2K9 blooper reels. It's pretty funny, until you realize that people are actually playing $60 to play this game. Then you feel somewhat bad for the people who got roped into buying it.

I especially like the A-Rod disappearing into the ground trick.

I love how CleBrownsFan gets a free pass when he posted the first one and you don't lay a verbal finger on SackAttack for leveling the same criticisms that I did, but I get hammered for following CleBrownsFan's lead. I appreciate that you're the sole person trying to keep this game alive. You're a loyal fan of 2K and I'm sure they appreciate your loyalty. |

As I'm sure Sony sends you compensation for pimping everything they put their name on. I just have a hard time seeing posts from you in a thread about a game you have 0 interest in. I mean, what's your point? Pointing out the game sucks from OTHER people? I do know other people who are enjoying this game though, me included and another patch from 2k might make this game much better as far as glitches are concerned. You'll NEVER play it though.. |

In my offense I wasn't trying to bash the game... I laughed more at the kids commentary then I did the glitches.

SO FAR, I'm glad I bought it. I don't think any game is worth $60.. but I've played enough to keep it in my library right now. I'll see how the replay value holds up once I start my franchise. |

In the game's defense, the fans replacing players isn't a glitch. It's just something fun you can unlock with points you gain. Last edited by JetsIn06 : 04-01-2009 at 11:26 PM. |
