MLB 2K10 Suffers From Online Issues, 2K Releases Workaround
MLB 2K10 was released earlier this week and has already ran into issues with online play. In the recent developers’ conference call, which can be found here, they stressed the fact that 2K10 is not going to be like 2K9. I’m currently in the middle of reviewing the title and I have to say that this year’s title is certainly not like the previous year’s. For one thing, it works, and it is very clear that MLB 2K10 is a big improvement. However the one area that isn’t quite working up to potential is the online play. In the first few days there have been many reports of games suffering from lag, disconnect issues and now players are unable to connect to ranked matches. I myself have not been able to connect to a ranked match and have yet to try to play an unranked game. For the many people who are experiencing this issue, 2K has officially released a “workaround” to this issue while a patch is being worked on. This is what you will have to do:
“Workaround One” Most Effective
When attempting to connect, make sure it connects to the first attempt the game tries. If it moves to another connection, then simply cancel and try again. This may take a little bit longer (about 2 minutes) than connecting via workaround two.
“Workaround Two” Effective
When you select a ranked game, it will say “loading online roster” and then “restoring default roster” and move on to connect to a player. However, after it attempts to connect to another user afterwards, it will sometimes say “restoring default roster” a second time. If you see the “restoring default roster” a second time, then the glitch will happen. Simply press “A” to cancel the connection and try a ranked game again.
You should only see the game say “restoring default roster” once. Anymore than one time will cause the glitch.
Now I can’t say I’m surprised as NBA 2K10 also suffered from online issues so gamers can only hope that a patch for this issue is released much sooner than the first patch that hit the NBA title.

I purchased this game strictly for the competitive online gaming. I feel like I wasted 60 bucks. The hardcore video gamers love to compete. Who wants to play the lame CPU? Boo…2K Sports. Please fix it, ASAP.
Yeah i feel you man. the worst part is for 360 owners this is the only option and for them to not make sure it works perfectly is very unfortunate. you would think they would learn from what happened in NBA 2K10.

This still seems to be an issue. Ive had the game for about 2 months, love the game but never played online. My buddy got the game today so we could play online. We havent got thru one inning without a network problem occuring. We have played like 15 games. Its ridiculous. They should have a damn patch by now. Its been out for what 3-4 months now? Im really disappointed and hope its fixed soon because the game is great aside from this crap.
