Two offline issues; not sure anyone has mentioned

[JNC]

Sorry if these have been addressed by Ronnie or anyone else. I looked but maybe they are buried somewhere.

#1. Has anyone experience the glitch where you will be in mid play and all of a sudden the field view will be gone during mid play and cut back over to a new batter?

For Example: I had a guy on 3rd, and 1st. I tried to steal home and then managed to get off a decent bunt...when my guy on 3rd was about halfway to home the play completely ended and all of a sudden my next batter was on the plate and the screen went back to the normal hitting view. It ended up that my guy stealing home got out but it never showed the end of the play (him getting tagged out). I tried to view a replay and the replay just stopped at the same point that the play stopped for me. Very Weird!

#2 Has anyone noticed that the pitching mechanic seems to change speeds with different pitchers. At first I thought this had something to do with the composure of the pitcher...but after trying several games with several different pitchers I have noticed the speed change with all kinds of different reasons.

When I say pitching mechanic speed...I mean the speed at which your circle moves to the outside once you start your pitch, as well as the speed at which it closes when your trying to hit the green circle.

For Example: Whenever there is an AI on base...the pitching mechanic (motion) becomes faster...this can be attributed to composure I would guess...however, I started a new game with a new pitcher and in very first pitch of the inning, the mechanic was going very fast as if an AI was on base...but there was not...I wish someone could explain why the pitching mechanic speeds up. Im sure there is a logical explanation for it (or maybe it is a glitch) I just don't understand all the reasons behind why the mechanic would speed up.

----------------------------------------------

If someone could verify that this is happening to them and/or let me know the reasoning behind it. I would greatly appreciate it. Again, sorry if this was talked about elsewhere. I just couldn't find anything.

I have not experienced number 1 but that would be an issue.

#2 would be everyone having individual styles and motions and one of the great aspects of the game.
Each pitchers wind up is unique and has a different timing. Try pitching with Wang or Dontrelle and you will see they have a long delivery and take a while before they throw compared to a guy like maddux who has a more traditional wind up. When a runner is on base the pitcher goes into what is called the stretch; They basically eliminate the wind up. The pitchers delivery to the plate must be quicker to prevent the runners on base from stealing. With Wang normal windup, a runner on first, even the likes of Hafner or Bengie Molina (VERY SLOW, both lost to a snail in a foot race), could steal second before Wang delivers the pitch. The speed of the circles has nothing to do with composure, it has to do with delivery mechanics. If your pitcher gets rattled, I.e, loses composure, you will see that his aim lessen and the ball you aim with will jump around even if you don't touch the left stick. *interesting note I have yet to have a pitcher get rattled. Has anyone had their pitcher get rattled?

That's the first I have heard of #1. Let me know if any one else has had that problem.

#2, you're also working out of the stretch so the timing will be quicker.

Thanks to Magic and Ronnie for answering my questions...

Regarding my #2 question...that really helps and I can now appreciate it more that I understand the reasoning behind it.

Regarding my #1 question...I have had that problem arise on me twice now...both times it was someone I had on base getting out and not showing me the actual play. I wonder if the framerate patch will fix this...(thats a lot of frames to be missing, lol) If anyone else has experienced the problem I was having stated above (#1). Please speak up!

Now that brings me to think about two more points...

A) I agree with Magic...I have yet to see my compusure affect my pitching/ball cursor.

B) It would be great if 2K made an in-depth manual on everything that is not explained in the game manual or tutorials. (i.e. The pitching mechanic that was just explained to me and batting techniques/explanations for 2.0) I would buy that book for sure. Everyday, I come to this site and learn something new about the game that is far more advanced then I originally thought. If that were all in one place that would be awesome. I know we have these forums to use and we have the in game tutorials and the game manual...but we need something organized and more in depth!

I take that statement back...it happened to me just a few minutes ago.

I had Misch as a pitcher up against Pujols in the 8th. Earlier in the game Pujols hit a homer on Misch. I think the score was 6-1 my lead and even though misch still had a composure of 9...the ball indicator was all over the place...It actually was moving around so crazy I couldn't control it...it moved around more then I ever saw it in 2K7 actually...:rotfl:
