What are some of the most improbable performances you've seen from a player in a baseball video game? Could be any game and it could be either a grossly underachieving player or an unexpectedly overachieveing one. For instance: I just completed a season (short, 52 games) in MLB2K12 (MLB2K15 mod) with the Padres and Craig Kimbrel couldn't get a batter out to save his life. He was so bad I could only get him into 12 games and he gave up 13 runs (10 earned) in 11 innings including something like 5 home runs. His WHIP was a tad over 2.00. He finished the year 0-4 with an 8.18 ERA, which is lower than his half-season mark that was over 10.00. He blew 5 saves in 11 opportunities and not even a 3-run lead was safe with him. I brought him in 2 or 3 times when I was ahead by 3 just to see him squander up the lead by giving up one hit after another and then a home run. It didn't even matter if I was playing or simulating the game. So, how about you guys? Has there ever been a player with superhuman ratings that didn't even look Major League caliber in a game you've played? Or some dude with minor-league ratings who played like an all-star?

I've seen a couple of reprints at a card shop being sold for $5.

I remember playing NHL04Rebuilt about 2 or 3 years ago and I just couldn't stand the players' stupidity, so much so that I ran back to NHL09. The puck would be right in front of my defenseman and he would just stand there and look at it until an opposing team's player skated all the way back from his own end to grab it and take a shot on my goalie. This happened practically every game...which is too bad because the other aspects of this game make it worth playing.

Also make sure that the date you set is a day when there were games on the schedule for the 2012 MLB season. I believe days when no games were played (e.g. the All-Star break) would make the game crash as well. And, of course, the year has to be 2012.

Not sure if I'm even allowed to complain given the quality of the work here but I'll do it anyway lol I see that the jersey numbers have been corrected in the last update but not the defensive positions and ratings, which causes certain players to play mostly their secondary positions in the game. Anyhow, here are 4 more corrections: Oakland Athletics: Mark Canha is a 1B/LF, not a RF Atlanta Braves: Matt Marksberry is #66 Milwaukee Brewers: Jason Rogers is mostly a 1B St. Louis Cardinals: Trevor Rosenthal is from the USA, not the Dominican Republic lol

A couple more: Buffalo Bisons (Tor AAA): Darwin Barney is #18, Matt Hague is #23, Scott Copeland is #28 New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Tor AA): Andrew Albers is #67

Sweet. Now this is what I've noticed so far...I should have more stuff to add as I play more games. Arkansas Travelers (Angels AA affiliate): Cal Towey's portrait in the game is Dusty Baker's lol. The number I see here is 8006 but I'm not sure if the error is with the portrait itself or the portrait number. Toronto Blue Jays: Ben Revere is #7, not #3, and he's been playing exclusively in LF since he came over to the Jays Ezequiel Carrera is #3, not #4 Chris Colabello should be listed as a 1B. He played about 50/50 at first and the outfield (mostly LF) this year but in the playoffs he only played 1B and he's a first baseman by trade. Ryan Goins' defensive ratings should be upgraded. His glove rating (83) and range (73) are underrated. I swear to God, this guy's one of the best defensive infielders I've ever seen. Kevin Pillar is mostly a CF, not LF. He can play all 3 outfield positions but he was the regular CF this year (142 games at CF). Like Goins, his defense is also underrated (glove 74, range 83). This guy gets to balls that you don't even think he has a chance on, and he was just nominated for a Gold Glove. New York Mets: Bartolo Colon is #40, not #41 Wilmer Flores is mostly a SS rather than a 2B Daniel Murphy...well, that's a little more complicated. He played 1B, 2B, 3B, though he seems to be mostly used at 2B with David Wright in the lineup. I'll post more when I can. Thanks for all your great work guys!

Hey guys, as I posed in the comments section of the download page, I was just wondering where I can post corrections for the roster? I've noticed a few mistakes (wrong positions, numbers, portrait ID, etc.) but I'm not sure where to post them.

Also: Hou: Colby Rasmus and Preston Tucker are both LF (Rasmus has played all 3 OF positions this year but he's played more LF - 32 of his 47 appearances have been in left, since Jake Marisnick plays CF most of the time)

There's not too many corrections to be made, most of the stuff is spot on. It's mostly a few jersey numbers and what not...but those matter to me Donnie Veal (Atl) and David Goforth (Mil) are both #32. NH (Tor): Ramon Santiago is #9, Chris Dickerson is #33 and Daric Barton is #37 (if you go by numbers worn in training camp)
