apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I got MLB 2k9 just today... looks great... but how on Earth you swing the bat? I assigned my hitting button to LEFTCONTROL from the redefine keys menu, and the other button (that sets the batter ready) to button 1. It shows up correctly there... but every time I press the CTRL, absolutely nothing happens. I went to the practice mode... chose HITING... tried again.. nothing, nada... I must be a total moron... but for the life of me I can't find a way to swing in this game. I can punt just ok, but no swinging. The weird thing is that CTRL button works just fine when I'm pitching. Flame away guys! PS: I'm from the Scandinavian area... and I use a Scandinavian keyboard with different layout... could this cause the problem... it has never been a problem before.

Yankee4Life Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Honestly, it's not stupid. It depends on what controller you have and how you have it configured. First check the manual and go from there. EDIT: I see you have a keyboard. Try the default keyboard settings first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Can't you play the game without a specific controller? I want to control everything from the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to control everything from the keyboard. http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic...+Controls\ Give this thread a shot. I don't know if it will be any help though with your keyboard. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Excellent... thanks mate. Looks like this is pretty common problem with the noobs of this game... suddenly I don't feel that dumb anymore. http://2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2476783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanBradbury Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 ha! that is maybe one of the stupidest questions. That's pretty mean man. You might want to consider apologizing to Apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 ha! that is maybe one of the stupidest questions. Have you ever heard of that saying that starts out with "For those who live in glass houses....." And Apocalypse is from Europe (not that it matters) but baseball isn't as big over there as it is here and I am very sure he's spent more time playing hockey games instead of our National Pastime.

apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 That's pretty mean man. You might want to consider apologizing to Apocalypse. Naah... who cares what someone says anonymously in the forums. Looks like 99% of the people play the game with some sort of pad/controller... that has always been my main issue with all consoles... I hate gamepads because the directions are operated from the wrong side... I'm a "left handed player". I want to use keyboard only for all gaming... that seems to be the problem here... and why the batting doesn't function from the CTRL (even though it's properly assigned from the keyboard CONTROLS). Can't find anything about this from the manual, either. I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apocalypse Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ok... works now... for some reason it doesn't allow me to assign the batting key to LEFTCONTROL... it's weird because it shows LEFTCTRL in the selected keys menu and it works when I'm pitching... this must be a European keyboard layout problem of some sort... when I changed the batting key to "X" it works perfectly. Yeah... game on...!! @Yankee4Life: Sorry about the animated avatar mate... didn't know....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy you got things set up now with your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonSPa Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 apocalypse u may find that the game can be very frustrating at first and my advice would be to read everything in here about sliders,once u get things straightened up then this can be a very enjoyable game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
