Baseball game for 360?

[pretendastronaut]

Can anyone tell me how to change back to the old pitching style on the 360? I have a friend who claims he can't figure out how to do it. I haven't picked up 2K8 because I've seen so many negative reports about it.

You go to the VIP settings under the Controls tab and the setting is pitching interface. You just change it right from there. On another side note. I love the new controls but it took me like 10 hours of playing it to get them down well. I have had to play with the sliders a little and make some edits to players. Corey Hart is ridiculously slow in the game even though he is one of if not the fastest Brewer.

I am really enjoying this game. I am currently 2-2 with my Brewers franchise and just threw my first complete game with Capuano. The new controls were difficult at first, but I found the pitching tutorial very helpful. Some people don't like the fact that you need to concentrate on every pitch that you throw, but I think it makes it extremely satisfying when you strike a guy out, win a game, etc.

Probably want to check Carlos Lee. In 2K7 he played gold glove defense because they had his speed jacked way up.

and because Carlos Lee is an elite defensive OF.

I retuned Carlos Lee last year after he made his 3rd diving catch of a line drive to the gap.

 

I promised myself last year that I would never buy another 2K sports game again, but I can feel my resolve weakening.

Thanks! I'll pass it along!

They have roster updates for MVP (for the PS2), you have to have a max drive. If no one can find it, just PM me.

I thought at one time their was a website or something that also did the updates for the xbox and then they could save them to a memory card and then you pay them and they send it to you. Anyone know of this?

I got MVP 2005 for PC. I'm trying to do roster updates but they keep crashing the game.

Head over to mvpmods.com and you'll find plenty of information in their forums. What roster update are you trying to apply?

Thats where I went to get the rosters. I have tried about 5 different rosters and they all crash. One of them will allow me to play exhibition games but won't let me play any other modes. I just spent the last 2 hrs updating the brewers roster by editing guys and trading for others.

Ok, after years of playing baseball games, I threw my first perfect game and it happened with Cappy. I didn't set it up that way or anything, it was his turn in the rotation. I have never been so nervous playing a game before.

Very exciting, I've never thrown one, or a no-hitter for that matter.

 

I'd be curious to know how many others have done this as well.

[jason21nl]

I was very excited about it. I mean, I have played baseball games for what? 19 or so years and never have done it. My gf thinks I'm stupid for taking pictures, she just doesn't understand.

 

I too would like to know how many people have done it? and were they nervous?

[TooLiveBrew]

Never have done it, not even a no-no! Well done jason!

 

I have never been so nervous playing a game before.

 

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif I laugh, because I know exactly what you mean... I've been very antsy in all my no-no/PG bids. Strangely enough, it was never the nerves that did me in, just some crappy base hit.

 

So j, you have to let us in on who made the big defensive play(s) in the game. What was Cappy's line?

Does anyone know where to get updated rosters for 2K8? I have 360 live, yet this is my first season with a 360. (I used to use my Action Replay to update my rosters for my regular xbox.) Thanks.

Go to the Online Menu and there is an option to download rosters.

I threw a no-no with Doug Davis of all people when I had MLB 2K6. Pretty sweet and I was totally nervous towards the end of the game. I haven't been able to get one since. I had a no hitter going with Gallardo going into the 8th on 2K8 about a week ago and ended up with a 2 hitter.

[aracko]

I have had to send my 360 to Microsoft for repairs. I am getting the 2 red lights on the dash - which means something is causing an overheating. I cant wait to get back into this. I have never been anywhere near a no hitter as of yet though.

[7rebmun]

Ah, the red ring of death. You aren't alone. I had mine replaced back in August.
