[JonahFalcon]

People who have the full game are starting to post their impressions.

Dan Clarke and Glen Haag are among them:

Barry Bonds records are no where to be found in the game. Now that’s just weird. They have the historical stat sheet and McGwire is the single season Home Run champ and Hank Aaron is the all-time Home Run champ. Ruth is the single season Slugging Percentage champ as well.

(Obviously, Bonds' refusal to allow his license to be in any game has strange results. I guess 2K didn't want Joe Young or Bill Berkeley to be a fictional career leader anymore.)

- If you have a scoreboard in centerfield showing a player and their stats… update the stats. All I saw for the Brewers players during the first game was .000 for every single player. That’s just a silly thing. You’re obviously keeping track of the in-game stats, just put them on the board. - I had 6 errors in a 12-inning game. 5 of them were simple throws to first where Fielder never had his foot on the bag… that’s just wrong. - The CPU was aggressive at the plate, but I think that can be adjusted… They would take pitches on the corners…but almost never swing at anything off the plate. - I have no idea how Dan was crushing the ball like he was. I had a ton of singles in my game… a few doubles… but nothing hit anywhere near the outfield wall.

wow. are these a bunch of 9 year olds? Barry Bonds hasn't had his stats or his likeness in a game in almost a decade.

same for michael jordan, they aren't a part of the players associations.

never swing off the plate? Weird, had no issue with this in the demo. Hopefully it's just him, lol.

You don't understand - Bonds is usually represented by a fictional name in the career leaderboards - this time, they decided not to even bother so you have Aaron, Ruth, and McGwire being the career leaders in various stats rather than "Joe Young" or some other fictional character.

This is such a minor issue I cannot believe it is being discussed.

Actually, I thought 2K hasn't had Bonds on the career leaders (Or is that The Show?...honestly can't remember) fictional or otherwise. In the game, yes...just not in the record books.

EDIT: and a happy goodbye to Lepermessiah...lol...safe journey

This is an issue because it's baseball. I shouldn't be talking to a sock puppet anyway.

On discussion boards, people tend to discuss. Crazy, I know.
