Two steps forward, two steps back.

I am sure the patch fixed a lot of things but things like this just blow my mind.

Still no injuries or errors... I understand they tried, but they had a whole development cycle and this went through the initial QA and now a patch can't fix it.

For as much as this game has improved, I just can't handle the glaring issues that are still present.

It sucks to say but this game is on the shelf. I wish it was different.

The only thing I am concerned about is that I only have a PS3 and I haven't heard of anyone recieving the patch for it. Once I get confirmation, off to trade in the show for this. Been wanting something new myself.******** type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_2041087347", true);

There are in game injuries in the Show, I've had more than a few and am only 26 games in to my season.

Damon was left on the mound and I did a double switch with him to bring in the next pitcher I think. I'm not 100% certain but I do think it worked.

Did not work for me, tried it twice in the same game. I used Uribe to hit for the pitcher, then Freddy Sanchez made the last out. When the next inning started I tried to change Uribe from Pitcher to 2b, but I can't change his position. When I used the double switch option, it lets me swap the pitcher's spot with another spot. I used double switch and it allowed me to sub in a different fielder, but not Uribe. It does not work, same as before the patch.

I simmed a season to see if stat tracking was adjusted.

Ichiro won the AL batting title at .331, Aubrey Huff won the NL at .317. 19 qualifiers with a .300 avg. In 2009 in MLB, .365 won the AL title, .342 won the NL, and there were 42 guys with a .300 avg.

Only 3 40 hr+ plus guys (Kinsler, Quentin, and Rasmus). 45 guys with 30 hr. In 2009 there were 5 40 hr guys, and 30 30hr guys.

Kinsler led the league in RBI (142). 33 guys with 100 rbi. In 09, 141 led the league, and 28 guys had 100 rbi.

33 guys scored 100 runs in my simulation, 22 did in baseball last season.

There were 11 15 game winners in my sim, with Javy Vazquez leading the league with 19 wins. There were 22 in baseball last year. Slowey was the only guy with enough innings to have a sub-3.00 era.

Progression is still broken. Tommy Hanson went down 3 points despited going 14-9 with a 3.13 era and 206 k's. Despite the fact that they said they made it harder to player to get better when in the decline phase of their career, Chipper Jones went from an 85 to a 90 ovr at 38 years old, after hitting .266 with 27 hr, and 85 rbi.

I loved the game at first. then fixed what I thought was bad then played it some more now I've been waiting for a patch that was supposed to have fixed many of the community issues.

One of the things brought to 2ksports by the community WAS the "animation stop" . For me not having that fixed means there is no more naunces in the game it's just rush rush next pitch next hit i feel no REAL game atmosphere because of it.

In the game there is an option to have the game rushed. but it is completely broken... and it hasn't been fixed. Derek Jeter steps out the box and again he snaps into his stance? Awful

Fatigue seems to have a greater effect now. Those that cranked it up to 60 or 65 in slider sets might want to back that off a little.

One nice improvement is they seem to have eliminated the up and in fastball causing a lot of hit batters. Too often a pitch high and inside would result in the batter sticking his arms out and getting hit by a pitch even though the pitch was barely off the strike zone. The patch fixed this. I've thrown quite a few pitches really inside and the batter no longer leans into them for a cheap HBP.

Is this true only for guys you create after the patch or is it true for guys before the patch? I had edited a minor leaguer to create Brennan Boesch in my franchise before the patch. After the patch his proper name is still on the back of his jersey so I don't have a problem right now. I haven't tried creating a new player post patch but guys created before the patch on the PS3 are fine.

I'll explain the double switch issue, as there seems to be some confusion about it, and hopefully someone who has the patch can check it out.


What WORKS....

If I'm pitching with Chris Carpenter, and he is due up the next inning, and I want to sub in a new pitcher and put a position player in the 9 spot, all I have to do is click on the position player I want to sub out and select double switch. From there, you select your new pitcher and then your new position player. This works fine.

What DOES NOT WORK....

is the more common scenario. If Carpenter comes up to bat, and I want to pinch hit Brendan Ryan and leave him in the game at SS, I can't do this. Anyone you pinch hit has to be removed from the game or stay in as a pitcher.


BASICALLY....

you can't double switch while batting, only while pitching.

pinch hitters for the pitcher can't be left in for defense in the 9 spot.


Essentially, this is an extremely easy fix. Remove the gray out on the pitcher's spot, allowing you to transfer pitchers to other positions and lineup spots. I have to think this would take about 10 minutes.

So, can someone test this out for us? Does the patch fix the issue?
