MLB 2K9 Post-Patch Impressions (360 & PS3 merged)

[Mr. Rad]

Cool, thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Yeah it's a fun game. The AI is ridiculous sometimes but it's fun. As long as you aren't a nitpicker i don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this game.

I really hope next year they spend a ton of time ironing out the AI and some of the franchise stuff and animations. The animations are great in spots, poor in others. If they do that I honestly think I would prefer 2k9 for it's control. It's a shame 2k always drops the ball and doesn't release a product that goes that extra mile.

I really wanted to like this game and I do in a lot of regards, but the show is so much more polished. The batting in the Show is amazing. The pitching in this game is so much better but the aggressiveness takes away from it. I honestly was having more fun with this though. The batting, pitching and fielding could be so much better in this game over the show but they drop the ball in each area.

I messed with the game post patch but i really didnt notice a difference.

2k9 isnt a bad game and there are times that I do enjoy it but the Show is light years ahead of 2k9 in my honest opinion.

Yes its light years ahead, everyone knows the show is king. Honestly you have 2 choices get a Ps3 or stick with 2k9. I would really hate to be in your situation but its your call friend!

How do you know if you have the 2nd patch? I just started playing 2k9 last Sunday on my 360. When I first loaded the game I was prompted for an update, so I assumed I had the latest patch? However, last night in a game I had 3 fly balls come down and hit the outfielders? They were easy fly balls.

Really stupid question,,but I still can't figure it out....

Can you save the camera view settings?? Can't figure out how to do that??

Also,,,if I'm playing the CPU in just a play game quick game, their is still no way to switch the cpu starting pitcher right?

Would this work.....having two controllers, control both teams, select the pitcher,,,start game, and slide the one controller over to cpu?

Thanks in advance.

No you can't save camera settings, stupid I know...

You can do the controller trick or you can go to the roster screen and edit the CPU's pitching rotation. Move the Pitcher you want to face to the #1 spot.
