pena1 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 As the topic states, online play for 2k11 works, almost perfectly actually. Over the past few evenings basesloaded74 and I have been able to get several Lag Free games in. Here a few tips if you are unable to connect or having serious lag issues: Run the Benchmark test after EVERY graphic change you make. I cant stress this enough! You want to get a reading of 70+ if possible From your graphic card setup, disable all Anti-Aliasing. For nvida users - switch texture filtering to HIGH PERFORMANCE as well Run the game in windows mode. I have no idea why this makes such a huge difference but my benchmark jumped from 65 to 150 by changing nothing other than this mode. If you are still having issues with getting a good bm reading, start changing your resolution till you can get something manageable Know your rig and have a good internet connection. Hope this helps! If this can get enough people playing, would there be enough interest to start up a MVP MODS online league? Let me know Lets get some baseball in fellas! UPDATED 6.15.11 As of right now, we only have one more slot left! If anyone is interested please let me know asap, I know our guys are anxious to get some ball in! This is how it is shaping up, 8 teams / 52 games and 3 game playoffs. Flexible schedule, which means games can be played out of order as we are available. Custom sliders below...

udwph Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hope this helps! If this can get enough people playing, would there be enough interest to start up a MVP MODS online league? Let me know 2k has quite a few options: 4 through 30 teams / 10 through a full 162 game season. Anyone have any suggestions? Lets get some baseball in fellas! peña1 I'm down for that...........

Gordo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've seen this game for $20 and as long as it would be authentic (real rosters; good pitch speed; no limits on balls and strikes, not a lot of visual clutter on the screen, etc.), I'd play.

kaos Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hey Pena1. I've been trying to get in a game lately online. Last night I was trying to get a game with you (man I forget my user name, but it's dirty something) when you came into the all star room, but every time I clicked on your name for some reason it would hang. Not sure if you noticed me leaving and coming back into the room or not. I was having to restart the game each time. Also I think you might have sent me an invite 2-3 nights ago, but I wasn't around, got bored waiting and forgot I was still in the room. Then when I came back it said there was an invite and I clicked on it and said the session wasn't available any longer. ARGH!!! I just want to try getting a game in. At a minimum, I would like to do at least a couple of innings to try it out after the patch. I just wish I could send a message to let you know if I'm planning on playing a couple of innings or the whole game. Edit: I ramble too much so I cut some stuff out.

pena1 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Zach - welcome aboard! I'll post sliders later this evening, let me know If you have any suggestions. Daflyboys - I'm with you, we would use the latest rosters and def no lame rules. I think we can put together a very competitive league. The default all star sliders need quite a bit of tweaking, it is almost too easy to hit. As mentioned, I will post them later. 2k has options so you can have nothing on screen when you are hitting. Kaos - I'll be online tonight, msg me when you get a chance and we can give it a shot! Make sure to do the benchmark test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well probably not tonight, I have a softball game, but if we do then just know it might only be an inning or two. Luckily we are both on the west coast so that should help. And yeah, I've done the benchmark test. I think I was around 70 with everything on high so hopefully I don't have to disable anything, but I will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pena1 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Here is list of sliders that I think would work great. If anyone was any suggestions, please let me know! you can download em here As far as schedule length, what would most people prefer? Once this gets some feedback, Ill start up the league and send everyone the pw to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Interesting, 85 pitch speed. How does that play out online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pena1 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Should be fine, but it may be a bit much. We can adjust accordingly. For the default sliders, pitch speed is set at 60 which would probably result in a lot of long sluggfest type games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormsWarning Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 i played a few innings of a game with yankess vs giants, and i must say, i wish i had time to finish that game, i love these sliders, 85 pitch speed imo is perfect, you did a great job with them, thx alot pena. :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Wow great game online. Did we use those sliders? Sorry if I didn't pitch enough balls, the Pirate pitchers lack control. Funny my ps3 rental for 2k11 came in today and I played a quickie there before the pc version and to me the pc version just played so much better. But was weird it felt like there was this little hitch when batting, but not enough to really affect anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pena1 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Im telling you, I think we have something here! Another solid game. Those were the sliders, I think we can tweak em just a bit. Pitch speed is right on the money but the outfielders speed and arms can be toned down a bit. Anything else? Ill make the notes and re post em. great game again! :good: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah I'll say again what I said in the pm. But I can see the OF speed turned down a notch or so. But like I said I was just blown away how good it is online. I really believe a lot of people are missing out on a great game of baseball. And this is coming from somebody that last played 2k8 on the Xbox in a couple of leagues and bought a PS3 that year solely for The Show. I haven't looked back until this year and I wanted to give this game a try again after buying The Show 11. I pretty much haven't touched the Show since I got this game.

StormsWarning Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 i can agree with both you guys, i think that patch really delivered on key points, and i can say that the game really plays well, and with the sliders, pena has done, it really hits the key points of the game. good job fellas. :friends: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitchleague Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 okay, I'm confused. I turned off anti-aliasing and went to window mode and my FPS went DOWN. My brother and I were able to find each other online but when we would "invite" the other person to a game, it would think about it for about 20 seconds and then drop the connection. My ping rating was 4 bars and colored blue but his was colored red. He told me it was vice versa for him. I just don't understand how to keep connected then. I opened up the ports from another post I found somewhere on the 2k site. My firewall is in "game mode" so permissions are automatically accepted. What else can be done?

kaos Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 so are there going to be injured players on the rosters for the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormsWarning Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 so are there going to be injured players on the rosters for the league? well id say yes, pena, along with all of us wants this league to be as real as possible, stat, and rotation wise, i'd love to use bsu's for the league, as his are top notch, they are the most realistic, but i guess until his are completed, we could just use 2k's as well, what do you guys think?
