I think one of the more underestimated things about 2k is their franchise. IMO, it is the best of all time. The fact that player's ratings increase/decrease based on recent trends is huge because it allows you to be flexible during trading.

Consider this: In one franchise, Donovan Solano (who was a 73 overall or so) was on a tear offensively (raising his overall to 81). During the trade deadline, he yielded much more in return. Conversely, certain stars dropped in ratings, hurting the organization's ability to trade them.

Very very underrated franchise indeed.

Got a great set of sliders from rudyjuly2 and having a blast with 2K13 again.
I'm going to make a few more adjustments to the rosters and then fire up a franchise with the Royals.

2K is still one of the funnest(?) baseball games I've ever played. Right up there with MVP.

I'll have to take a look at those sliders. Rudy and I usually are pretty close when it comes to settings/sliders, and I know he does a good job with these 2K baseball games.

What roster are you using, Money?
 
# 184 rudyjuly2 @ 03/24/14 06:47 PM
I'm hoping a good set of rosters comes around opening day. Want to get a franchise going.

Having a great franchise going with the Marlins. Through 17 games, I am7-10 and Jose Fernandez is on the 15 day DL with a shoulder injury. Also, Steve Cishek is going to miss the next 5 games or so with a minor leg injury.

Yeah, I've enjoyed his sliders a lot.

Re: rosters, I found a recent one on 2Kshare, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I've only played a couple of ex-games with them.

I'm hoping someone at OS or 2Kshare makes a new one for opening day then I'll fire up the franchise.

You can get them here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...c#gid=0Sliders aren't for everyone though. Those should make it tougher to pitch, easier to hit for extra bases but not singles. BigFnJoe and Marsh have sliders in the forums as well that people like and there are lots of comments in them (maybe not lately).

Prolly a dumb? I havent played this game sime last year some time. When I pop it in and fire it up will they down load the todays rosters or will it be were I left off last?
 
# 194 openicehit42 @ 04/14/14 08:14 PM
I swore previous versions of MLB 2k allowed you to use custom AB music, am I missing something with 2k13 or is it no longer a feature?

Tigers Franchise:

I got lit-up by the Jays today, losing 10-4.
Sanchez got knocked out by the 5th inning, giving up 7 runs. E-5 hit a BOMB to left-field that was beyond a no-doubter.

At least Miggy went 3-4 with an oppo-boppo. Kinsler also hit a no-doubter (to LF).
I almost made it 6-6 in the 4th when Castellanos had 2 guys on and drilled a shot to deep left-centre. It was about 2' short of a homer.

Angry and embarrassed, we flew out to Oakland to start a 3-game set with the A's.
Poor Sonny Gray took the brunt of my anger as I smashed Oakland 10-4 and knocked Gray from the game after 4 innings and 70+ pitches.
Kinsler and V-Mart went deep and Miggy went 4-5 with 2 doubles.
Scherzer pitched pretty well and left the game when it was 9-3 after 6 innings. It was also nice to give an ailing Nathan some time off and give guys like Krohl and Rondon some innings.

I just love the presentation. They show highlights throughout the game, talk about key matchup's happening around the league and the insight provided by the commentating crew is so deep and actually worthwhile, I find myself taking their advice.

And I don't feel that I can give enough praise for Hitters Eye. I can really work the counts and when a pitcher starts to feel fatigued or lose composure, more and more pitches get tipped.
I average about 3 walks a game which is way more than I get in any other baseball game.

I will be more than happy playing this game for the next year or two.
Eventually, I may upgrade consoles solely for NHL 15, but I'll make sure to keep the PS3 around for MLB2K13.

Is there a bug on double steals? When the CPU has done it I hit square to throw to third and my catcher just throws it to the pitcher.

I have had this for quite some time for the 360 didn't play it much and just got it for the PS3 a couple of days ago.

The game is not photo realistic by any means and quite a few of the animations are not linked together properly. But... the game is fun to play. Pitching and hitting are quite good. With the right cam angles the fielding is OK. Overall it's a good game and it deserved to live. Too bad actually.
How did you get your Show playlist to load?

Also, can you get rid of the big yellow circle when pitching?

just picked this up again and played a game with the default rosters.
I loved this game but I forgot just how much.

Got spanked playing as the Jays against JV and the Tigers.
He was on point the entire game and pitched a nearly flawless 8 innings. His only mistake was serving up a meatball to Colby Rasmus, which I deposited just over the CF wall.
That was the only hit he gave up in the game. He also recorded 14 K's.
It's been a while since I've played so I'm really rusty. But he was painting corners and keeping me off balance using his 100MPH fastball and 85MPH curve.

Meanwhile, after a pretty good first two innings, RA Dickey's wheel's fell off and was yanked after 5.1 innings after surrendering 6 runs.

Final score, 9-1 Tigers.

The sounds, the gameplay... oh how I missed you MLB2K13!
I have a sound bar and the rear speakers are very close to the couch I play on. I started laughing when I heard a woman scream "Put one in Lake Ontario Cabrera!" when Melky was up to bat.
Such a great game!

Fired up the new rosters and got in a game between the Mariners (me) and Houston.
Cruz hit a solo shot in the 2nd, and then I was able to go base-to-base in the 3rd socring 2 more for a nice 3-0 lead.
Houston came right back in the 4th with 4 runs, 1 of which came from a solo shot off the bat of Springer.

Altuve and Correa were both steller on either side of the plate, soaking up everything in the middle while providing timely hits.

My bats went cold and I wasn't able to get much going the rest of the game.
Then, in the bottom of the 9th, Lind gets a 1-out double.
Seager goes to swinging before Chris Iannetta comes to the plate, laughs at 2 week sliders on the outside before turning on a 91MPH fastball on the inside to give the Mariners a walk-off victory!

Man I love this game!!!

Yeah I really like the last 3 versions of 2k. The innings seem to fly by unlike some other game I won't mention.
