No prob Kev. As I'm all about franchise every year, I saw this brought up in this thread and wanted to see things for myself. Especially since someone said it was happening pre-patch, and I didn't remember seeing it.

Thanks for staying on top of the Bugs/Glitches and keeping Ron informed.

And the hot/cold screen is exactly what i saw, although I will admit I don't know if I noticed the player card at the top showing 0's. My eyes immediately drew to the stats since I didn't think anything would be there. Last, again off memory but I think something was up with the power rankings on opening day too but again I can't totally remember. Might we worth taking a look at that screen.

No prob Juice. Here's a screenshot of the Power Rankings screen. It looks like it keeps track of what the team has done in Spring Training, and makes adjustments to the Rankings. Is this how things are done in the MLB? I'm not well-versed in how Power Rankings are established. LOL

There are bugs yes, but they already put out a patch on 3/16, just 14 days after the game was released AND they're working on another. Let alone the massive improvment the game already is over 2k9 and prior releases as well.

While I see your point, I see the other poster's point as well. Yes the game is better than 2k9, but still worse than 2k8 was IMO. Atleast pitcher fatigue worked properly and while there was some bugs in 2k8 they are no where near the amount in 2k10.

It just seems the franchise has gotten worse because there is no competition out there unless 360 owners want to fork over the cash to buy a PS3.

Kinda sad really.

Looks like the power rankings screen is correct. So, that's good. I really wish I paid more attention when I saw issues but I was eager to get into my franchise and glossed over a lot of what I 'thought' were stat issues. I'd try to reproduce tonight and see what i come up with; hopefully nothing!

I totally disagree that it's worse than 2k8. It's miles better than 2k8; commentary, stadiums, smoothness of gameplay, mechanics of controller, etc. It's just not a comparison even, IMO. And the bugs so far are not game killers. Even the fatigue hasn't been a game killer at this point. I've read so many stories on this board about how great of games people are having - and these are just the ones people post about. I've had many myself that I haven't posted about too. But the fact that people are posting about these great games ....I didn't see this with 2k8 at all. That in itself is a huge improvement to the series and put it back on the board for a 'good' baseball game. Yes, improvements need to be made and bugs are being fixed via patch. I would suspect the next patch will contain more community voiced bugs than this first one. So we'll see. It may make a good game great. Bottom line is that 2k10 is a better game right out of the box vs past editions. (I suppose we should take this to PM since it's getting off-topic for this thread).

Modding games isn't easy. Generally you need a ton of people out there who actually know what they're doing before you get any halfway decent mods. And then, the game has to be set up to be easily modded. I promise you MLB is not one of those games.

Beyond that even, a modder can't go in and add errors and injuries to the game.

But you're right, because I only paid 30$ for the game I shouldn't expect it to get the same updates and patches as the console versions. I should just sit there and be happy because hey, I only paid 30$ for this awesome baseball game even though it doesn't have errors or injuries, and the pitchers stay in for 160 pitch 12 run complete games.

I'm so sorry to have offended you with my unrealistic expectations.

I hear ya man. Well, it looks like the Hot/Cold streak totals (at-bats, avg, etc..) as far as where a player is on the list carries over, BUT they are not affecting actual franchise at-bats, avg, etc... Look at Ryan Ludwick:

In my 1st Hot/Cold screen he was 7-10/.700 (Last 10 Spring-Training At-Bats). I went ahead a simmed the 1st game in the season, and those at-bats were reflected on the Hot/Cold screen, but if you see his stat line on his card at the top... only what he did in that game is reflected. He went 2-4/.500 in that game. On the Hot/Cold screen he now is: 9-14/.643.

I'm not sure when the game will stop counting the Spring-Training at-bats as far as Hot/Cold streaks are concerned, probably when you get 10 at-bats in Franchise. But again, actual Franchise stats seem to be tracking OK.




Anyway, all this testing has made me thirsty. Is it too early for a beer??? lol

Sorry guys…didn’t mean to take this off topic. Yes, the game is better the 2k8 out of the box. My point is that since stamina was supposed to have been addressed in this patch, why wasn’t it? kinda feels like they are just playing with us, because they CAN. I work two jobs, can barely make ends meet, and when I drop sixty bucks, I want results. Now, that being said, does anyone have an ETA for the next patch?
