OK thanx for all the input. However, from what I'm reading elsewhere even the XBOX for PC has the SAME problems it had when the 2k series first came out! Guess the software company cares more about console players than pc gamers! So, if they haven't sorted out the problems 4 years later looks like I'm gonna have to go yet another season with no effective and practical baseball sim. Oh well..............

I loved the old MVP baseball series; u could just pitch and swing the bat and let the pc control baserunning and fielding. So after the demise of that franchise, I bought 2k9 when it came out. Couldn't believe how awful it was from a controller standpoint! Couldn't get it to work w/ my logitech controller; had to use TWO paddles just to pitch and just to swing the bat ???? Threw it out in disgust. NOW, have things changed at all for the latest version ? Can u just select a pitch, aim and throw ? can you just aim and swing your bat ? can u set the PC to control baserunning and fielding ? If not, guess I can forget ever using a pc baseball sim again, lol.

OK, I used to play EA Sports MVP baseball and loved it till they discontinued the game and the mods extending it's life dried up. So back in '09 I bought 2kMLB09. HORRORS! The controllers were not functioning in Windows! Was supposed to use the two sticks on my logitech conroller just to pitch and to swing the bat! Couldn't get the "single button" function just to swing the bat to work either (the controller still worked on mvp so it wasn't the controller!)! Has anything changed at all in the 2012 version for PC? All I want is a fun, functional baseball sim where I can just swing the bat, select a pitch and throw it and let the pc take care of fielding and hopefully baserunning as I used to in MVP 04 & 05. No manipulating of 2 joysticks at the same time, lol. Or am I hoping for a pipe dream here, lol ?
