im seeing this too. WEIRD. I have to aim at the batters head to get a curveball as a strike.

They made the pitching motion more sensitive. So either a) get better with the right stick, or b) turn down the slider.

A quick question to those still finding the AI hitting too aggressive post-patch:

Are you finding that every batter in the lineup still swings wildly or just certain batters in the lineup? I remember a post a few pages back saying that the Inside Edge hitting tendencies have been fixed, so either they're fundamentally broken despite the patch or the posters still finding overaggression are simply facing aggressive batters rating-wise.

I don't know what to think about all these comments. People are describing the AI aggressiveness as far worse than what I've seen pre-patch, so I'm skeptical that it will be so dire.

The bigger concern for me is the ability to pick your spots. IF they made it harder, that would absolutely make this game for me.


One more thing, have they fixed it so that the AI in shallow outfield will actually gun it home on sac flys, and not hit the cutoff man?

picking your spot is next to impossible now so yo will like that. It just seems like 2k just made it so the first pitch goes by more, but after that the batters start hacking away again.

it truly depends on both ratings and your pitching. I actually like the fact that you can't just throw continuous strikes and not expect the CPU to swing and pick up some of your tendencies. As for the ratings itself, it definitely makes a difference.

Note: Adding to what I said, if you want to be successful, you really have to mix up your pitches and pitch locations. With that being said, you may have to throw first pitches as balls.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Official Patch 2 Available, Impressions Here (PS3 Only)

I think the game plays a pretty good game of baseball if you mess with some sliders.
I have been getting all kind of different games from low scoring to high scoring. The only thing that is absolutely killing it for me is the outfielder dropping balls as stated by other guys on this forum.

Here is a good example..

Playing as the White Sox against the twins with the sox leading 2-1 in the ninth after Danks pitched an almost perfect game. He gave up a couple hits with 2 outs so I brought in Jenks to close it out with guys on first and second.

Got Joe Mauer to fly out to Quentin in left field, and I had him positioned perfectly for a high fly ball for the final out and my outfielder totally misses the catch and the ball goes rolling to the wall scoring two runs.

This is very fustrating after playing a whole game almost flawlessly. I really feel like I would play this game alot but things like this (which happen way too frequently) are just not right.

Other than that problem (which I feel is a biggie!) I really have not seen any other problems. I have had no issues with AI agressiveness of first base glitch.

I just wish I did not have to hold my breath (and say a prayer) everytime the ball is hit to the outfield.

Overall, are we getting a thumbs up for this recent patch of improvements?

THE OUtfield issue is my only main gripe too. It is just wrecking my games. Like you I was in a low scoring 1-0 game then to start the 7th the AI hit a routine fly ball that I should have caught, My outfield whiffs and it starts a big inning for the AI and I lose

This problem has not been addressed. i only hope 2K can release another patch for it.

Not pitching correctly. You have to do it exactly how it says, if your off a 5-10 degree's, then the pitch will be off. Took me a while to figure that out. lol

They made pitching tougher. Its not easy to pick your spots anymore. Curveballs for me are the hardest to get right. Circle change as well.
