MLB 2K12 Patch Details

In what may very well be the last action for the MLB 2K franchise as it comes to an end 2K Sports has released a patch for MLB 2K12 taking nearly three months to do so. MLB Today Season, the main new mode for the game, inexcusably has been busted all along and this patch doesn’t appear to be promising a complete fix. Other prominent issues are going unaddressed as well. In general it’s a much less extensive update than the company has provided in past years which may not come as much of a surprise considering the circumstances.

General
•Hid the Upload options when not signed in.
•Pitcher fatigue is properly set when loading back into a previously saved game.
•Fixed problems where screenshots were corrupted prior to uploading to 2k Share.

•Improved the look of gathers in certain uncommon situations.
•Fixed the “auto pitch” bug after a double switch.
