MLB 2K9 Patch Now Out

i too went out and coughed up $60 when this game first came out. i love baseball so the game is what it is to me. my problem comes from here. i have the 360 version of course for me to listen to my music when i play. well 2 days ago i went to load my season at which point i am currently in the world series with a 2 game lead with the brewers. just as i get ready to play my game after loading it that is and KABLAAAAAM the motherfucker freezes and wont go past my load season screen. how can i fix this without loosing my season ????????? some one please help me. oh and what is 2k sports phone # i wanna be heard....

This game absolutely SUCKS! After getting about 120 games into a franchise, it froze up so I had to delete it. After making it to the NLCS, I am having the same problem again anfter 4 games deep. More often than not, the game freezes after you win a complete game resulting in a lost game and it also freezes about every fifth pitch and outfield play as well. What a piece of crap and I am so sick of spending good money for bad crappy games! BOOOO!

ive been a 2k fan since they first started on dreamcast!so im not going to bash them,but it is time for them to come correct! every year the same crap!! ive been playing games long enough to know that no game is going to be perfect but c'mon man 60 bucks!!!oh ya one more thing ,why the hell does my game keep freezing up??!! hey 2k i want a discount next year!!!! lol !!!

my franchise mode freezes and wont load up after one month of the season! it has happened twice already and the work put in to get my team where i wanted it through trades and such is exhuasting! it frutrates me because i was enjoying it even with the obvious game play problems. im not hard to please but all i care about is the franchise mode and it burned me twice! i havent downloaded any patches yet. will this fix my franchise freezing problem?

i got gold membership and i got on 2k9 but it didnt prompt a download... does it download automatically or what....

any place to download the 360 update? don't have access to live...

i have a silver xbox live membership because my gold just ran out. i got on MLB 2k9 b4 i went to school today so i could get the patch, it didn't download. is it because i have silver membership now or what? Pasta, can you answer this or anybody?

You will need to buy gold membership. Don't worry it's totally worth it.

i know i had it run out yesterday =(

This is the only website who's reaction to the patches have been bad. Operation Sports has over 500 replies to this same kind of thread, for ps3 and xbox 360 and maybe 1 out of 10 don't see a change in the patch update, but they still play and like the game. Yet, on Pasta's site, almost 90 percent of you who respond and post, give negative remarks, some dont even sound like they're reporting about the game. lmao. Look at how fake this site is now. Integrity out the door. Its run by fools. And the patch haters need to give it rest. Patches are a good thing. You haters haven't given me one reason why patches are bad. not one. everyone, even game reviewers and bloggers are saying the patch improves the game. You sour dudes on this lame misleading website makes me fear a world where you losers are the grownups. Gears of war 2 gets an update or CoD series, no one says shit, 2k sports does something and the bitches moan. losers.

how do i download patch of the ps3?

i played The Show at my friends house the other day and i must say it is alot better than 2k.... however i still love my 2k9 on my 360 even pre patch bcause i played it nonstop when i got it. errors do happen maybe not as much but they do happen. first basemen in real life drag their foot off the bag so i didn't have a problem with it and it doesn't hardly ever happen to me anyway. i get 1-2 errors a game usually maybe 3 here or there but its cool. my only probem was horrible angles taken by the outfielders that allowed balls to drop but other than that its good. i get a lot of basehits that arent homeruns too because i don't always go for the homerun like everyne else does. i learned that you get alot of homeruns in The Show as well if you always try for them even though they do happen a little less. i don't like online play because you have to swing REALLY early to hit te ball. but other than that, i think it is a good game and i think after i get the patch i will like it more.

"first basemen in real life drag their foot off the bag so i didn't have a problem with it and it doesn't hardly ever happen to me anyway"

That's a little tough to agree with. I watch almost every Mets game and parts of Yankees game and clips of others as well, I cant ever remember a 1b taking his foot off the base when there was not a bad throw.

the only thing bad about it is that they only do it on a good throw for no reason but it dont happen to me alot.... i liked 2k6 and that was horrible,2k7 that was pretty good though, 2k8 and that was bad, and now 2k9 which is bad , i guess im just a sucker for a baseball game because i've played baseball games since i was like 4 when Ken Griffey baseall was out for the super nintendo and N64.

MLB 2K9 is a complete piece of shit....I literally went out and bought a PS3 for the simple reason that I will NEVER have to play another 2K game for as long as I live.

Pasta, have you heard anything about a patch for The Show? There's a really bad RTTS glitch that doesn't allow you to continue past Sept. 15th. From what I've read, the year it happens varies. For me it was 2013. I've heard others having it happen earlier, and for some it never happened. It's a pretty widespread problem, though, and after putting so much time into my player it's really disappointing to not be able to continue. The game simply crashes to the Playstation start screen when trying to get past that date. Happens no matter what I do. And I'm not alone on this.

Just wanted to know if you've heard anything about them fixing the problem. I read somewhere that they might be patching it today, but it wasn't from a very reliable source.

Thanks.

I just wish EA would release another patch for their stinky hockey game so I don't have to watch my AI teammates skate away from a loose puck and lose the Stanley Cup for me again next season but I'm sure they will focus on some online crap that isn't fixing leagues or fixing franchise or core gameplay again this year 2ksports FTW

It will take effect automatically.

When I download the patch does it take affect in my current franchise or do I have to start my franchise over for it to take affect.

Online was far less annoying than it was the first time I tried playing it. Might actually try playing in a league now.

when you buy a new car and it has 5 or 6 dents in it wouldnt you feel cheated also????

Can we please get an Exhibition mode? This is ridiculous. I also want to be able to edit batting stances and pitching styles. And please explain why they have Jose Veras's face but not Joba's. Again, ridiculous.

This game sucks

That might be one of the most incoherent paragraphs ever written. For those of us who haven't 'smoked 4 dayz', please translate what you are saying.

The patch actually did not fix CPU aggressiveness, it nudged it in the right direction but comes nowhere near where it should be for a realistic baseball game. Try reading the reviews on 2K's Forum, roughly 85% of them are still complaining about this game post patch. Yet those people are "haters" and not "reviewers"? Anything else to add to your stellar review Cheech?

Gameplay is much improved, but the inability to edit players and the wacked out franchise mode still makes this game a loser in my book

I can play the game great and have fun with sliders, but can't earn any cards. I dont care about the cards at all, I am pissed their in this game. THE CARDA ARE A WASTE OF SPACE AND A JOKE. IF YOU CANT EARN OLD STADIUMS WHAT THE FU%K IS THE POINT.

i think the patched helped a little. it didn't totally fix the problems, but like people have said in other posts - the game is much more playable. i don't play much of 2k9 because i do own the show and i do believe it blows mlb 2k9 outta the water, but i'm not going to hate on 2k. i played two games with the new patch and noticed homeruns went down. there was a few times where i know i made good contact that before would have been homeruns and this time they weren't. the errors were still there, but not as blatant. i still had like 3 or 4 each game, but they weren't the stupid kind where my guy was sitting on the yellow X thing and it bounces off of him. they were believable errors where guys had to make tougher plays and booted them...understandable. i actually like errors a little, it does make games a little more realistic. people boot balls in the field. if there were no errors in the game i'd be even more unhappy. all we can do is hope that 2k improves each year (maybe learning some lessons from the show), or they give up the mlb contract and perhaps EA and other companies come back for some needed competition.

I think people were looking for the "magic pill" with this patch to completely fix everything so they can work the corners and get 15-16 K's a game to pad stats. My general feeling is that the game is certainly playable now, and if it was released like this from jump street, most who purchased would be generally satisfied.

The problem is that people bought a game that had 5 or 6 glaring problems, so they already feel cheated. Even when the patch is out that fixes those problems, some people can't get over that cheated feeling, and feel the need to toss the "this game sucks!" moniker out there.

I enjoy the game. I think I might get 3 games in a week with my schedule between work and the family, but I enjoy playing it.

when you buy a new car and it has 5 or 6 dents in it wouldnt you feel cheated also???? Thats how we feel about the game. Ok some games can be bad but these kind of mistakes are not right.

I think you pretty much said it all Pasta. It's just classless to put out a product like that and then a month later release a patch that may or may not partially fix some of the huge list of problems.

Though I don't see how it would matter anyway because I'm not sure how many people that somehow bought the game haven't traded it in yet.

Man, I just can't get over what a waste this game is when these guys can't get their act together.

I bought the game with optimism the day of release. The game stayed in my collection until 2 days after release.

Yeah, I mean imagine when you bought a movie and you dint like then ending and the movie studio took a whole month to send you a new ending for free... oh wait.. they dont ever do that, right? Well, okay, thne how about a CD that only has a few good songs on it and the music label takes forever to give you a few free tracks later to make up for it... oh that doesnt happen either? Hmmm... Books? No. Food? Maybe but probably not.

Point is, that we are fans of one of the best industries in the business world. Becasue of this, we are so spoiled that a lot of people believe that if they dont get what, how and when the want something to the exact T, then the company is a crook, a scammer or in this case... classless.

I am a baseball hardcore sim fan and while the game has HUGE setbacks, I in no way feel cheated. Disappointed? Yes. Let down? Yes. But do I feel like anything was done wrong? Ha! I would love to see the image that you have of these developers secretly huddled around a big table trying to figure out exactly how shitty they can make a game while still charging for it, meanwhile Elvis and Bigfoot are playing cards at another table.

All I am trying to say is that just because a game fails... and then fails at trying to fix it... that DOES NOT mean they are personally trying to screw you.

You're exactly right. When movies or music producers screw up, they don't send out a new product a month later because they'd basically be admitting to everyone that it's bad in the first place, and it would be pretty embarrassing. So to treat this as a gift rather than just plain wrong is kind of weird if you ask me. Now, I don't mind it if a company releases a decent game and then is honest about it's mistakes so they release a patch. But in this case the game was so bad in the first place that it just doesn't seem right.

Also, the image I have of developers is a very respectful one. I never attacked them personally, I just said it was a waste because I know these guys work hard and have the potential to make a good game. They certainly have the resources with Visual Concepts now working on it, so I actually predict it'll get better sooner rather than later.

Until that happens though, It doesn't feel right when a game like that is put out there and it doesn't even work the right way until a patch is released a month later. Enough said.

this is the year 2009 not 1979. there is no reason in this day and age that you should put out a game with soo many problems. and basic problems at that!. if they arent trying to screw us they acertainly dont care about the consumer cause they have no reason for such a crap game with lots of problems!

guys named 2k9 is awful are liars. You can tell who got the update and who are just assholes. And like I stated before weeks ago. More people play MLB 2k9 on xbox 360, than MLB 2k9 and the Show on PS3. The patch fixed the CPU aggresiveness. Nuff said. Too many losers come here to diss 2k. In the last weeks, you've had some lame articles and pro EA articles and had NO responses. Put up a 2k article and the haters show up. Its opening day, today, no three weeks ago. The season started today, right? And you all are already finished with baseball, dickheads.

Stop smoking for once and you will realize that this game is a joke. A patch had to fix the most basic problems in the game right when it was released. maybe they spent to much time making stupiud linecum commercials to realize they had a problem before release date!

I've never seen so many haters in one place in my life. I play both The Show and MLB 2K9 and they both are good games for different reasons.____It's funny how there are all these complaints about the 1st baseman glitch, outfielders dropping the ball, too many Home Runs, pickoffs at second base. ____In about 30 + games I've seen the 1st baseman glitch twice, one dropped ball, no successful pickoffs and a handful (about 5-7) homeruns between myself and the AI. On top of that I routinely get 6 innings out of my starting pitchers with 4-6 K's and a couple of walks. I seriously question thepitching skills of many, which is why I typically don't play online for either game.____As much as I like The Show as well, for anyone that remotely enjoys the gameplay of 2K9 too has no business coming to this site...go to the forums on OperationSports. Alot more rational discussion without the ranting and fanaticism of one game over another.

The patch fixed a LOT of things...now the game is enjoyable and fun. Thanks 2k!

good patch, like the game but still to many fly balls in online play but less home runs its a good improvement and people stop wining about how bad it is if its bad dont play

2k9 STINKS, NO AMOUNT OF PATCHES CAN FIX 2k BASEBALL
