Great Game But Baserunning Is Awful.

[Elite4912]

The only thing they need to update in a patch or whatever during the season is to get the Baserunning icon in the lower right back to 2K8's. Everything else in this game is pretty darn good but I don't like the fact that I can't tap a button corresponding to the base and tell just HIM to go without having to tap A 3 times and if I skip over him on accident, retry only to not be able to take home on a base's clearing double. I also don't like how you can't see your player slide to confirm that they did so. Other then that problem everything is good and can be fixed with sliders or by release.

Thanks 2k!



PS. I'm not new I just haven't posted on these boards since last year's game came out and site wasn't so new.

i agree!! i hate the new blips. 2k7, and 8 model were great. made baserunning a cinch, in fact i had a feeling they were goin to change the baserunning controls, it was one of the few features that worked really really good. and looked great. however, im wondering if their motive to remove that was to improve framerate?

I don't like the base running that much either, but I would much rather prefer to have that control messed up then not have a playable game. I will just have to learn the base running controls.

Yes last years baserunning was easier to execute which seems weird as how they say "this year was made easier for the casual gamer".

are you kidding me.. this is the WORST MLB2Kx game they have released. it blows all kinds of crap all over my house.

I've only played 2 full games so far and there are some things I already don't like about this year's version. I would have to say that the new baserunning controls this year were a huge step in the wrong direction. I agree that last year's baserunning was WAY easier to manage. Flicking the right-stick and then hitting the face buttons to the bases you wanted your runner to go to was much more efficient. Hitting the "A" button to cycle through the runners takes too damn long, especially when you want to keep your eye on the play. The only thing I do like as far as changes in '09 is the controls for lead-offs and base stealing.

Game has issues, but come on, baserunning is not one of them, it works well and you have total control. Hitting A takes no longer then hitting the base in last years.

Yes the baserunning is difficult because you have to cycle through the players
