Heh...it's under Control Options, not Presentation. What a stupid f'n place to put camera views.

It's pretty sweet...

Hey guys,

Seems like there is a lot of positive talk on the net about the update. To the casual baseball guy who was scared off by the initial reviews, does the update make the game more worthy of a purchase? The original IGN review mentioned odd slowdowns etc... are those things still there?? are they game breakers?

Glad you found it db!

2. better reads on fly balls, when you are running the bases and deciding when to take an extra base. and when in the field.

Agree 100%

Of course they would update it when my 360's in Microsoft purgatory

I was still playing anyway as I really enjoy the game, but the new camera angle is a nice bonus. Really helps the fielding and does let you see a bit more of the stadiums. Well done 2K.

Is anyone able to post a screen capture of what the new camera angle looks like? Is it a broadcast type camera angle...? I'm really curious to see what it looks like. Thanks.

It is dynamic so it basically zooms in and out and looks exactly like a real broadcast.

Thanks db...sounds right up my alley. I love a good broadcast cam.

Do I dare say the game plays great on AS defaults now?

DL the update and I do like the new camera angle, even though there's a lot of stutter. Still don't have much fun with the game, but the new camera helps move the game along. Is it me or does it seem like the game plays faster and the fielders react faster with this camera angle?

Also like how they are putting up old stadiums as free downloadable content.

I notice a little bit of studder every now and then.

I agree, the new camera angle makes the game flow much better.

If you guys like the patch...do not, I repeat, do not edit your rosters (stances, attributes, equipment) in your season. It will corrupt the save and you will not be able to save anymore. Yeah, that happened to me. Nothing like fixing one thing, then breaking another.

Love the camera though.

I've been reading about that. Sucks for those who like to edit the rosters. I already had a franchise in progress with the June 18th roster update - no edits.. so I've been fine.

It very much does suck because the batting stances by almost all of the Braves are HORRIBLE. I know exactly who's stances go with who and I had all of that edited previously. I wanted to get Salty and Escobar in my Braves lineup with their names and faces, but I couldn't do that unless I got the roster update...the one you can't change. Ahhhhhhh. So all of my guys are there, they just look like s***. I guess I gotta hold out for ANOTHER patch, to patch the patch so I can edit them.

One would think 2k will fix this.. the question is, when and how long?

Anyone know how to get 2kbeats working again?

wow, the pole cam is fantastic! I would love to know if they fixed the horrible franchise end-of-season bug.

It seems to me that the pitcher fatigue is different, I was in the 8th with about 49%. I had my slider at 45 and i would get about 35% in the 7th.

What do you guys have yours at?

Yikes, about to finish my 1st season - what is this?

kicko · Post by **kicko** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 3:48 pm

i guess its if your an east coast team and finish your season it does not properly sim the west coast teams(late games) and allow them to finish the last game causing a freeze. The wack workaround was to sim and sim again until you got a tie in a division for an extra playoff game resulting in an extra calendar day which would allow the season to sim all team correctly.

lets hope it they fixed that!!! I would love to read an official patch update list, but then that would mean someone has to admit fault, which Brinkman has already done.

I'm back to a few games on AP defaults and might try Pro defaults tonight as the sliders I was using don't really work right with the update.

I haven't played this game in a while, but wow, are you guys saying that the update seems to tweak things addressed by the sliders?! More than just pitching fatigue??

If so, I think I am going to cry.

kicko · Post by **kicko** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 5:28 pm

it seems so web, but the real issue is what. The crazy part of the game is that it was such a tweakfest to start with they could lets us know what was touched. I played 3 games since the update and all my pitches easily went all 9, when before i would get tired in the 6th, 7th or 8th realisticly. So now we have to guess and retweak.

I wonder if the new roster has different ratings to change gameplay similar to nhl07's last update

I am not using the new roster, since i didnt want to kill my season.

greggsand · Post by **greggsand** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 5:32 pm

I had my power & such cranked waaay down becuase of too many HR's. Now after the update, it seems the amount of HR's actually match my power settings! So much so, I may have to crank the power up a few notches, but need to play a few more games before I do that.

i am loving this game all over again.. my biggest gripe was the roster issue in any mode other than Exhibition - lineups all out of whack.. the new roster update at least somewhat corrected this issue to at least appease me (the big issues still were the Cubs (Derrick Lee ) & Cardinals (Scott Rolen) having wrong leadoff men... corrected this with some attribute adjustements..

Patch was great! seems wall climbing is a touch easier now to do, plus love the pole cam... I simmed a season, & it seems that the CPU does now at least "attempt" to put back injured players into the lineup instead of letting them rot in the minors (Kearns injured twice & got back into the lineup) - still checking to make sure about this.. Also, when I got into the next year, the problem with relief pitchers missing seemed to clear up..

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 2:12 pm

I agree NY...this game now has legs.

To solve the roster edit issue after the patch, you just need to do all of your edits before you start a season. If you download the new rosters and want to use those, you're gonna have to restart your season anyway...so doing all of the player editing prior to starting the season works fine. That way you don't have a bunch of generic players up to bat all the time.
