Get the Major League Baseball 2K9 [PC] v1.1 Patch off WP (38mb)

MLB2K9 v1.1 patch fixes:

• Reduction in amount of fly balls missed by outfielders (both the target and slowing down before a fly ball is caught have been fixed).
• Tuned overall slider values to get a better stand alone game, based on community suggestions
• Turned down Home Runs, should see dramatic improvement in number of home runs hit during game play.
• AI aggressiveness tweaked – AI will take more balls
• Throwing in the “Red” was way harder than the best “Green” spot so maximum strength lowered in the red
• In-game crash resolved when not opening the Pitch Overlay hud and then bringing in another pitcher. Will resolve late inning crashes.
• Added variety so that all fielders arm strength isn’t so similar. Now the better arm strength fielders will make a difference.
• The catcher will no longer disappear when switched with a DH, and umpire won't throw the ball backwards.
• Added more variety in pitching by making the gesture be a little harder to nail down “perfectly”
• The base runner no longer JOGs home on sacrifice fly and ground balls
• 1st baseman’s foot no longer comes off the bag too easily, resulting in a lot of infield hits that should have been routine outs.
• Pitchers will now walk off the mound after the 3rd strikeout in an inning.
• Tuned numbers to fix the fact that pickoffs were too easy, especially at second base.
• Increased the delivery speed of the animations from the stretch to improve throwing out the AI when they attempted to steal.
• Pitcher rotation bug fixed where users in leagues would have their first bench player put in as their starting pitcher. They could adjust the starting pitcher but never get their bench player back to their line up. This would eventually lead to a crash.
• Users can now send a trade when having nine pitchers or eleven hitters on their roster in a fantasy draft league online.
• The Winning/Losing Streak in Online Menu will now populate correctly when viewing the Card Battle Leader boards.
• League settings changes now will take affect immediately.

National League Cy Young Award winner, Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, will be featured as the cover athlete and spokesman for next year's highly anticipated baseball video game, Major League Baseball 2K9. Lincecum led Major League Baseball with 265 strikeouts during the 2008 season and set a new team record in the process. He has quickly become a fan favorite and established himself as one of the most thrilling young pitchers to watch in baseball today.

While attending the University of Washington, Lincecum won the coveted Golden Spikes Award which is given to the nation’s top college baseball player. He was drafted 10th overall by the San Francisco Giants in 2006. Known to fans as “The Franchise” and “The Freak”, Lincecum was named to the National League All-Star team this past season while putting up astonishing numbers and leading the Majors with a remarkable 265 strikeouts. Lincecum also led the National League in other key pitching categories including win percentage (18-5, .783), opponent’s batting average (.221), and strikeouts per nine innings (10.51), along with ranking second in earned run average (2.62). For all of his historic accomplishments, Lincecum won the Players’ Choice Award as the National League Outstanding Pitcher this season, along with the National League Pitcher of the Year Award from Sporting News. Both awards were voted on by his peers. More significantly, Lincecum today was named the National League Cy Young Award winner, given annually to the top pitcher in both the American League and the National League, and voted on by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Players will have the exciting opportunity to practice their skills at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park by playing three full innings as either the Tampa Bay Rays or Philadelphia Phillies.
