jhoff80 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I would think error frequency is something that can be easily fixed with a patch though, if 2k is aware of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddux31 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Maestro. Thoughts? I have you still been reading the forums over at 0S and 2K? Most directly the previews from the mods and whoever else have the final copy? One thing that I will agree with is that someone over there had said that at least there is a sports genre again on PC. They were just saying how EA totally abandoned us this year, though I guess their coming back? Well won't be long and we will see what we paid for...Cross-fingers..

WinnieThaPujols Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I went into GameStop last night for the midnight launch of Halo Wars, and picked this up instead. It was the only PC copy they had... Anyway, my initial impressions: The game seems buggy. In two games, I ran into the following problems: - With the Orioles, I had an error with Brian Roberts... the ball went past third base and got stuck in between the rolled-up tarp and the wall. I couldn't get back there to get it, and every runner scored. - With a runner on first, the computer team singled into right field. I threw it back in, but the game wouldn't continue. I didn't know what was up, so I threw to first base and the runner was out. It was really strange. It's like he rounded first a little bit and then got stuck there. - Someone (I think Geovany Soto) singled into right field, and Ryan Ludwick threw him out before he got to first... ugh... Beyond that, other stuff that sucks: I'm pretty sure the PC version is missing features. I didn't see an option to add custom music to pitcher entrances / batter walk-up's. I know this is in The Show, but I thought I read it was in 2K as well. I think the PC version is also missing gameplay changes. I didn't see an option to switch to classic hitting, or the three-stage pitching. I didn't look that extensively, but I don't think it's there. I wasn't able to get Hitter's Eye to show up at all, either. I tried all of the buttons, but none of them triggered that... As far as positives go... The game looks really good. It seems like it's a good port (but then again, at this stage it seems like a good port of a mediocre game). It's really smooth. The presentation is awesome. They constantly change views, and it really does seem like you're watching a TV telecast. Honestly, for $20 I would recommend giving it a shot. I think the game will grow on me the more I play it. I guess the only thing waiting to complete this "initial impressions" review of mine is a follow-up, unproductive, "lol 2k sux"-themed post from Raptor or Pirate.

Fitz Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'll post it here too: YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR DEFENSE. For me, it's the D-PAD. ( I forget which direction as I never adjust my D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike360 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you polish a turd it's still a turd. That's the last of my debating this game's worth. I promise. I will now wait to see the reaction of the people here. I can't believe you said that. I've been saying the exact same thing about this game for the past couple days.

fuzzone Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 is there a way to slide for ground balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dive? Yes, off the top of my head I can't remember which button....I keep using the practice feature to get real comfortable with all the new buttons and what not...Great feature by the way...I love "climbing the wall!!" And I do not mean the outfielders, though they can dive too....I meant the infielders can dive to get the ball as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
