HarleyRider Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 For everyone who might be interested, I just got off the phone with Brad from 2k Sports support. They are aware of the date issue that is causing the game to lock up and not allowing you to play it. (Ie; Having to set your computer date back to, or before, October 3rd to be able to play it.) They were fixing it as we talked and he said it should be done by or before the end of the week. HOWEVER, you will have to be connected to the Internet when starting the game up for the update to take effect. In other words, no Internet connection, no update. While I had him on the phone, I also inquired about two other issues I curious about... A MLB 2K12 patch for the PC: No patch will be coming. Will there be a MLB 2K13: No. 2K12 is the final baseball game they will be making. There you have it straight from the horse's mouth. I hope this clears everything up for everyone. (To Admins. You may want to make this a "Sticky".) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyRider Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks Trues and thanks also for pinning it. I'm sure a lot of people will want to know this. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood70 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I am certainly glad to hear this. However (not to be Debbie Downer), you'd think they would take this opportunity to release the mythical patch that was supposedly in testing back in mid-summer. I will miss new PC baseball games :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbfan7789 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the info. but besides that, I'm very sad to hear that MLB2k13 will not be listed in the future... :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitStyle Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wouldn't be that upset about not having a patch. They really didn't adjust anything on the field. They adjusted angles that players take when running to the dugout and other minor animation hitches That's it. Nothing that would truly change your experience. I'm surprised their even going to patch the date bug. In fact, I doubt they will (for PC users). If it's something that requires a gamefile to be edited/updated it will not release on the PC. If it's an issue with their servers then it will release on all platforms. That's just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wudl83 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 To be honest I do not even care if they patch it or not. If they do it - fine. If they don't - that's not the end of the world. It takes 3-5 mouse clicks and about 5 seconds. The world has bigger problems than this. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyRider Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 So 2K Sports doesn't come out with a 2K13, that's fine. I'm sure with all the great modders here at MVP Mods they will keep it updated and alive for years to come!!! Kudos to all of you great modders out there!!! Keep up the great work!

Griz891 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It would be nice to figure out how to get the Astros transferred over to the American League somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ming Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Alright...Im alone. I hope they fix it because I like the pc version with mods better than anything since mvp. Including the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvp16 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello. The easy way to resolve the date problem is "RunAsDate" program. It´s a small and friendly program. Just need to configure once. Put a date before 2012-10-03 and put it on your desktop. It works. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyRider Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Well, It's the 21st and 2K Sports STILL has not come out with a simple fix for this date isssue. Obviously I was lied to on the phone about the fix! You would think a company like this would take better care of their customers! ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dishnet34 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like the new workaround, but sadly, it gets rid of all my uniform color mods. Yay, sacrifices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry18 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Okay, here we are March 3, 2013 a week into sping training and the game still won't load. So I guess this is not designed to load after the 2012 season? What crap! I hate having to reset my calendar on the pc every time Edited March 3, 2013 by Strawberry18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wudl83 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I got used to it. Start Beyondo, set date, start MLB, when loaded swith to Desktop, close Beyondo, play the game. Takes about 4-5 seconds extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitchleague Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 well, the date fix thing finally hit me. I've got the game on steam and it's been working fine for me WITHOUT having to change dates or anything . . . UNTIL the calendar changed to March. Now it goes through all the "Loading [whatever file]" thing, then connects to 2k for updates and then nothing--It just hangs and hangs forever on the Verlander logo screen. I tried the Beyondo thing and even backing the date back to February (when it DID work for me) did no good. I had to back it up to September before it finally worked. Kind of a bummer. I thought maybe the steam version was clear of this issue but I guess not. Oh well, as long as the Beyondo thing works it's not major. It's just a pain--and something that shoulda been fixed a long time ago. Hey, 4 weeks from tonight and REAL games begin! YAY!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dishnet34 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Which gets me to wondering...will MLB 2K12 work WITHOUT Beyondo when the 2013 Regular Season starts? Just a hunch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabugo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You can always set the date forward and check it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker8283 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I got used to it. Start Beyondo, set date, start MLB, when loaded swith to Desktop, close Beyondo, play the game. Takes about 4-5 seconds extra time. I KNOW I'm going to sound stupid, but what is this "Beyondo"? I googled it, and can't find it...am I missing something? EDIT: Never mind. I'M DUMB AND I KNEW IT!

Griz891 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 LOL....Don't worry I had trouble finding it too but have it now. Glad I found it because without it I couldn't play mlb2k12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
