This game is really starting to piss me off. I am getting good at this game and able to shut down the CPU, giving up like 2-3 runs a game. But sometimes when I get in a jam, I get a grounder to get a DP, except my SS or 2B act like retards. For instance, I had runners on 1st and 2nd, with 1 out. I get the grounder to my SS. He gets to the ball easily, but just stands there and the ball goes through his freaking legs! So that loaded the bases, now my SP is rattled and I give up a base hit in the gap, so 2 runs score. I'm thinking, I should be out of the inning if the guy bent down and got the ball. I then lost the lead because of the stupid play by my SS.

Then later in the same game, my 2B gets a weak grounder and the ball bounces off his glove and the runner is safe. Again, would have been out of the inning if it weren't for the errors. Runner on 3rd scored.

It just seems like this game randomly picks times in the game to screw the player over and have stupid errors. Then it seems like after the error, you always give up runs.

Ok, I'm done. :angry:

Tweak your sliders. I turned my errors way down, infielder reaction up, and infielder speed up.

Ok, I'll try that. I wasn't aware of that slider. It's like there should be a slider for AI IQ or something, haha.

But I don't get a lot of errors, it's a normal amount, but these errors seem to pop up every now and then.

Yeah, that happens to me, too.

I also advice you to turn up the AI errors, and turned down the speed and reaction, because those assholes get to fucking everything.

I know. :lol: I always think, oh got a base hit and some how the SS or 2B barely gets it and tosses the ball to 1st. Then I'm sitting there in awe and pissed, lol.

This game is shit. Just rented it and it is almost unplayable. Really not much improvement from last year, probably more deterioration than anything.

The pitching thing is cool. I struggled with it at first because (surprise, surprise) 2k doesn't know how to explain it's own mechanics. I've got it down and I prefer pitching to batting, now.

The lagging (OFFLINE) is fucking retarded. The graphics look worse than ever and the hitching is completely unacceptable. The game has also froze at least once every time I've turned the system on. Awesome.

This is totally unbelievable that 2k hasn't gotten any of this right in four years now. What a terrible company. I have now sworn off any 2k game, sports or otherwise. I refuse to give that company any more money until they prove, on a consistent basis, that they are capable of putting out any kind of a competent product. This is insane and I don't see how anyone there still has a job and 2k is still in business.

This is incompetency at its worst. Everything that 2k8 gets wrong, The Show gets totally right. These two games aren't even close to the same. I wish I had money to spend on a PS3, but the PSP version is still better than the 2k8 on 360. Not even close.

Anyone else notice they call the playoffs the Quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals rather than the LDS, LCS, and the WS? Ridiculous.
