Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

[lnin0]

Why are people saying no errors? I had three errors in my first game after the patch. All counted as errors in the box score too. Pre-patch I was also seeing errors. It is in the game but not something you see all the time. We are playing a pro game and not as the Bad News Bears.

This is not true. You have to learn how to steal and take the right jumps.

I can steal bases and I can throw out base runners stealing against me.

Is it hard? Yes, definitely. However, I'm not convinced it's broken. I studied how the CPU takes jumps and been doing the same with some success. Convinced I need to do better and can do better.

Agreed, I don't have a problem stealing bases or catching the CPU. It just doesn't happen all the time which I like. I'm glad it's not easy to do either.

League average error total for team: 96


I've seen two errors (catcher) and one OF error. NO IF errors. People continue to try and talk themselves into the idea that the lack of fielding errors is okay. It isn't. Not if you want a real baseball game.

Especially if the manager wants to save the bullpen and not have them throw 5 innings, it also gives the pitcher the opportunity for getting the win.

Except that it was spring training.

I completely agree with this post.

Some gamers helped me start this thread over at 2Kforums; you should read it if you are struggling with stealing.

I don't think this game uses any different managing logic for spring training or regular season games.

I got in a couple games last night and got stuck on some cut scenes that froze the game up twice. The first time I rebooted, the second time I subbed in a new pitcher and that "unstuck" it, but I also lost Lester who was throwing a gem and put in a cold Papelbon who faced Arod. Guess what happened? POW!

I actually can steal a bit now, and have also thrown out stealers. Do we have any control on slide type though?

One more question. If I decide to trudge forth with this season, when the next patch comes out, will it take effect on my current franchise, or will I need to start over again? I know that roster updates lock in, but what about all the other changes?

thanks!
