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.

Last friday night, arrieta and the O's gave up 6 HR's to the nationals whom arent really known for power. So 9 really isnt that far fetched. CPU just had your number that day. Now if this happens every day then something need to be adjusted.

From the weeks (pre and post patch) that I've been playing this game I've only given up one HR and that was a cutter down-away to A.Gonzo.

With the new patch I've been hitting HRs more frequently though. It happens with the same players too.

I have to say, 80% of my (or the CPU's) HR's are opposite field shots. I don't see many pulled HR's...

Mine are pretty evenly distributed. If you pitch away all the time, the homers are going to opposite field. If you pitch inside they will get pulled.

If all of the homers are going to the opposite field, I think that's more reflective of your pitching approach than anything else.

I'm having the opposite problem now. I've played like 5 games in a row where neither team has hit a HR. It's rare to even get a hard hit ball anymore. Just singles mostly.

As for the people saying they have been hitting more HRs, for me it's too early to tell. I've played 4 games since the patch, and in only one of them did I hit a HR. I happened to hit 4 (4 different players), but haven't hit any in my other games.

Still scoring a lot of runs though. I love that in this game you don't have to hit HRs to score like the last 2 or 3 versions of the MLB 2K franchise. It always felt HR heavy in years past, but this year I think they have a great mix.

Last night I scored 12 runs on 19 hits without hitting a single HR. At the same time, the game before that I scored 4 runs on 7 hits, so it's not always an offensive explosion every night.

Could they have done something with the last roster update? I was hitting HR's just fine until about 3-4 days ago.

They definitely did something with the new roster update. I downloaded and played with the previous one, 5/13 i think was the date, and the difference is huge. The ball was jumping off the bat, and i gave up a HR in the 3rd inning-after going the last 5 or so games with out giving up a single HR.
