It does that for the first few weeks of the season (just like in real life) because the season has barely started and the batting averages are from such a small sample size. It's not a bug or glitch, lol.

Auto Fielding is not that good: My Phillies are number in Fielding Overall but number 22 in the majors team stats.

auto baserunning works fairly well, not perfect, but close.

I still make more line drive outs than the CPU by a wide margin, not as bad as before.

Overall, I am very pleased with the new patch. There are still some things that need to be fixed: using classic pitching puts a cap on how fast you can throw a two-seam fastball, 95 mph, while the CPU can throw 99. The game summary needs to be fixed.

All in all, I think the patch is a success story that needs a few rewrites.

This is something that is bothering me, Played a game before that got ridiculously out of hand. Playing the Yankees in my Rays franchise and by the fourth dig the score was 11-9 my way, i had 4 HR's to this point and the cpu had 9. The next 5 digs the game was shutdown and i walked away with a 13-9 run win. Finished with 13 runs 5 HR's on 21 hits and the Yankees finished with 9 runs of 9 hits all of them HR's.

I get that teams light it up some days but to get 9 HR's so easily is absurd.

Other than that im fairly happy with the patch.

9 solo shots? You gotta work on the pitching man...

I know lol. Half those shots were from pitches off the plate, i'd throw one outside and it still wold get pulled for a bomb.

You would think outside and they go opposite field...amazing CPU batters...

I'm of the belief that they made the hitting system too restrictive this year (although not as bad as MVP 05). A pitch over the outer half shouldn't be a problem to pull for a HR but this game makes it very hard to do.

A guy like Jose Bautista hit ONE HR out of 54 to the opposite field in 2010. All 33 HRs at home were to left field (see image below). Under 2K's engine we should just nibble at the outside of the plate and force him to hit all his HRs the opposite way but that's not real baseball. Why don't real pitchers just pitch him outside and force Jose to hit them to the opposite field? Because he can pull outside pitches for HRs. So they still pitch him inside and outside and know he can pull almost any pitch for a HR. I know it's tough to get push and pull power tendencies correct but 2K took a backwards step in this area imo.
