Major League Baseball 2K9 PC Patch Available, Impressions Here

[SoxFan01605]

Here's a little something from mvpmods for those who don't feel like waiting for a roster editor. Not sure if anyone saw this (as it was added yesterday and is not in the downloads), but it will be a good start for the more impatient among us.

Basically, it opens up the in-game editing categories for ALL players. While this doesn't mean batting stances/pitching motions, it does mean that build, age, appearance, etc are now fully editable.

Also, it allows editing of pitch types AND individual pitch edits.

All credit of course goes to the modder, in this case Tony3 at mvpmods.com:

FYI, I've tried it out and it works as advertised, but apparently only with default rosters.

Played my second game last night in my Pirates Franchise.

Gorzleanny was my pitcher and I was playing the 'stros at PNC.

Ended up with a 4-2 ballgame in the bottom of the 9th. Two singles in a row, bunted the runners to 2nd. and 3rd. - they tried to get the lead runner at 3rd, but he was safe, so it's bases loaded. I then doubled to left center, scoring two. Next guy, I bunted the runner over to 3rd. So, it's tied, winning run on 3rd and only one out.

Sac fly, game over.

Two of their runs came on a line drive one-hopper that Eric Hinske misplayed and went past him to the wall (guys on first and second).

However, I'm still noticing the fielders slowing down.

Aggressiveness? Still pretty aggressive. I signed Oliver Perez in free agency and he struck out 13 in his first appearance - only a couple were looking. I think it was Troy Glaus - he struck out 4 times. 0-4. Gave up two runs to the Cards - one was an obscene golf shot by Pujols to left center - it was a very low and outside slider that he somehow muscled over.

He got the win though as I scored one more in the 8th. Won 3-2. Lots of hits though - I think we were both in double digits.

Just had a great game in my Mariner's Franchise in my first series @ Minnesota. Minny won the first 2 games, the first one easily, second one with a walk off HR by Cuddyer (who coincidentally killed me this whole series). Third game I came back out and put on an absolute hitting exhibition ranging from A-Rod's (acquired via trade) 2 Home Runs, to Suzuki's near cycle (missing HR).

The final game in the 4 game series, Minnesota had a 3-1 lead going into the 8th, 2 outs with Lopez at the plate. Was able to muster a single with Lopez, sending A-Rod to the plate. A-Rod takes the first pitch down the left field line for a stand up double, sending Lopez from 1st to 3rd. Griffey Jr steps into the box, the go ahead run. Takes the first pitch, a low and away slider, ball 1. Second pitch, an up and in heater, 1-1 count. 3rd pitch, slider, doesn't break, right down the heart of the plate. With one smooth swing of the bat, Jr crushes the ball into the CF stands just over the 408 sign in Center field, giving the 1 run lead.

Into the 9th, I'm able to muster 1 more run, making it 5-3. Twins aren't done yet, as they are able to rally with 2 outs, getting runners on 1st and 2nd, Cuddyer at the plate. My Closer's nerves are going crazy, as Cuddyer has killed us all series. First pitch, Cuddyer hits a line drive shot over my 2ndd baseman's outreached arms, hitting the gap between Center and Right. Suzuki tracks the ball down, runner's rounding 3rd... Ichiro hits the cutoff man, who relays the play to the plate... My catcher blocks the plate nicely, causing the baserunner to slide around, as I tag him out for the final out of the game. Absolutely beautiful.

Having a great time with this. Starting the season off 2-2, splitting the series with the Twins. Pretty nice start to the season.

Hi,

I've picked up the PC version and got the new patch. However when it starts it only plays in a maximized windows mode. How do you get it to play in full screen mode???

[CybrSlydr]

IIRC, ALT+Enter

[Saint19]

I'll give that a shot. Thanx.

So far the PC version is playable with a few quirks. I'm not gonna say it beats the show as I just feel at the moment that's a more complete game. But I see lots of potential for this game....especially if the mods start coming in.

[Saint19]

Oh well. I tried that and it didn't work. The Maximize option is greyed out. BUt it still runs in a large box but not in full screen mode. I can't figure it out.

btw what's the reason PC doesn't get sticky?

i still can't steal a base to save my life.
baserunners often get tagged out at 3B as they round and go back nonchanlantly.
catchers keep dropping pitches or missing them.
