hi - console patch, proably not. if you have the pc version then it will probably show-up on the various gaming sites. I would 'google' the patch and see what happens.

where can I download the xbox 360 1.1 patch?
thanks

# 23 Hajmyis @ 03/11/11 02:34 PM

Any news on when a second patch comes out

# 24 spcoon @ 03/15/11 04:07 PM

can anyone comment on the ps3 bug where the game freezes in franchise mode during the june draft? if i draft myself, the game freezes, if i let the computer do it, it continues fine but with poor draft choices. this occurs in the third year of franchise mode. i've found a few other mentions of this bug online, but somehow it didn't make the patch. it seems pretty important, no?

I believe the only patch released on release date was patch 1.0. What about patch 1.1? I don't believe the patch 1.1 is out yet. There's still complaints about choppy foul balls and robbing homeruns counted as an out/run.

# 28 elrey1592 @ 03/16/11 11:26 AM

Why would you own a PS3 and buy MLB 2K11?

# 29 gxskillz @ 03/16/11 01:49 PM

lol alot of ps3 owners bought MLB 2k11. I've had The Show 09 and 10, getting stale. Converted to 2k11 and loving it.

# 30 munky1307 @ 03/17/11 03:32 PM

I sent a message on Twitter to Ronnie a bit ago and he said that the next patch is in the works but they are also still gathering feedback.

Yea, same here. 2k11 is not a bad game at all for the PS3. They just need one more patch to cover the homerun/out glitch and fatigue in franchise for this game to be gold IMO. I know the next patch will cover an array of things, but this game is just so much fun.

# 32 BXCHICHO @ 03/19/11 11:52 PM

They need to patch the Batting Practice Drill. It's useless unless you can utilize the feature on the setting at which you are used to playing the game. I play using the Batter Setting with adjustments. So, Batter 3 is useless and a complete waste of time for me. I don't understand why they changed this in the game. It was not broken last year. So, why screw it up this year?

# 33 BigBlue @ 03/20/11 06:43 PM

Agreed. 2K needs to allow us to adjust the batting camera during batting drills. As it is right now, we are only allowed to use one batting camera.

Also, on sharply hit grounders that make it to the outfield, the batter should round the first base bag and not run through it as though they were trying to beat out an infield grounder.

There is no Patch 1.0. 1.0 would be the game they ship. Patches would be number after words. They release day patch was 1.1.

Anyway I would like to know when this is coming out since Franchise mode is busted until they fix the fatigue issue of players and some other minor things.

# 35 goosedennis @ 03/23/11 10:28 AM

Something is needed for players running around wearing the manager's jacket...

# 36 Yeah...THAT Guy @ 03/23/11 02:22 PM

Are patches put on the actual xbox or the hard drive? I brought my hard drive home and used it on someone else's xbox and downloaded an update for MLB2k11 and then when I put the hard drive back in my own xbox yesterday it told me I needed to download another update.

# 37 Jordanfan23 @ 03/23/11 03:53 PM

Seriously, how hard would it be to patch the franchise fatigue??? This needs to be done like NOW, because I love the game but haven't played it in weeks because of the fatigue issue! I am still confused at how this gets passed the testers, and given 2K's quite buggy reputation, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this was a known issue allowed to remain in the retail version. If it's not patched soon, I am ebaying this bad boy and will just run a franchise on The Show, though I would rather be playing a franchise on both games!!!!

I'm having lots of fun playing franchise even with the fatigue problem. I sim usually 3 out of every 5 games so I still have relievers that are tired going into a game. Plus, I'm not going to start a pitcher over and over again just because the fatigue problem. But, I'd love for it to be fixed and I hope they fix it in 1.2. The first patch did help quite a bit with some issues, so I'm anxious to see what they do with patch 2.

# 39 Hajmyis @ 03/28/11 01:29 AM

Fans who spent 60 bucks say; We want all or most of the bugs fix before release

2K Sports say to customers; Want in one hand and s••t in the other and see what happens first!

Customers say; that's not nice

2K says; we can't afford beta testing
