MLB 2k10
 

Yeah I know.. but it's all we X360 folks have! :)

Art Direction,.. great read.

Looks like they really did a graphics overhaul this year, stadiums are beautiful!

I am going to try very hard to wait on purchasing this. Everytime late Feb-early March rolls around, I can't hardly control the impulse to buy almost anything baseball related (magazines, yearbooks, etc). I really want this game to be good but I'm not counting on it.

Demo is out! Impressions are favorably good from over at OS.

I'll download when I get home and post some impressions.

Just finished my first game with the demo. I do have a PS3, so I won't be getting this, but 2k10 has definitely improved. Tough to say how much it's improved with just a 3-inning demo, but I walked and threw balls, which is something I rarely did at 2k9.

The overall feel is definitely better. Game runs super smooth.

The yearly cycle begins anew..........

:)

So games can't get better?

We need to start a MizzouRah PS3 fund and save you the beating that this game delivers to you each and every year. It's painful to watch as a friend. :)

The 2k Baseball series has been terrible...just terrible. I'd rather play Roger Clemens Baseball on the NES.

I can easily afford a ps3 and I've bought a psp before just play The Show and honestly.. the game is boring - damn good, but boring (I'm not big on the meter pitching)

There is nothing about the ps3 that makes me want to go out and get one, not even blue ray movies. The X360 is played non-stop by my family and 99% of all my friends who play online have an X360. We do have 2 ps2's though that still get use as well as a Wii.

I like the pitching and hitting of the MLB 2k games, and it seems from early impressions they really spend time fine tuning it to work very smooth.

It took EA awhile to finally get the NHL franchise were it's at today - and I hoping 2k gets there with MLB.

If it's not, I have ootpx and puresim 2 for my baseball fix.. but like every year, I'm willing to give it a shot.

I'd agree with that. The Show on the PSP is pretty boring.

Yeah, I'm gunna side with MBBF on this one. Comparing The Show on PSP to the one on PS3, is like comparing Mario World on Gameboy to the one on NES. Not only is it not a realistic comparison, it's just flat out unfair.

I did play the demo on my neighbor's ps3 and I still like the way pitching and hitting are handled in MLB 2k. Now, the rest of the MLB 2k9 game is fubared.. but to put it another way, The Show isn't so good that I want to run out and get a ps3.

I'll never play 162 games and luckily there are good baseball text sims out there - I just want something fun and I've always said, much like Madden, if it sucks.. I'll trade it in on something else.

FWIW, I haven't played 162 game season on the show with a single team yet.

Now with my created player? I went through 12 full seasons last year. From the minors to 10+ years in the majors. Reminds me, I need to pull out the game sometime this week and sim myself to the hall of fame. :)

it is all we 360 folks have, and I do like the look this year, and I heard they are introducing a career mode similar to the show's mode. I'm sure it won't be nearly as cool or good, but its the right direction, so that helps. I will most likely be picking it up. Cause its either that or no realistic baseball at all.

What? You don't have the time to play 162 games? Or even a career for that matter?!?!?!?

I've played them both and strangely enough they haven't got nearly the amount of time that I put into MLB Power Pros.

Maybe I'm weird.

Question: Which one of these games is more like MVP Baseball (with Manny Ramirez). I loved that game for Xbox and just want to play something as fun as that.

Hey Brad.

Those stadiums look really sharp. They may have The Show beat when it comes to Wrigley (which is actually poorly done in The Show).

Some impressions of the demo: I haven't played the 2k series for baseball since 2k5. So I haven't been through the rough period most have. Anyway, I truly enjoyed the demo. Graphics are real real sharp (not that I really care much, but its nice to see) and as far as the pitching and hitting mechanisms, I really like them. its awesome. As far as I can tell, I think I will really enjoy playing the game on my 360. Hopefully there are no horrible bugs, but I had a fun game of baseball with the demo. I pitched well as Pettite from the yanks allowing a double to utley and a triple to victorino in 3 innings. had 2 k's . At bat I had a single with Jeter, and a Solo Homer from Arod. (that was cool!) I walked once and K'd twice. All in all pretty realistic, but small sample size. Still had a fun time with the 1 game I've played so far. Looking forward to picking up this game on release day now.

One thing I noticed...I'd like to know if you all agree. Those pictures make the stadiums look great. But in the demo, Yankee Stadium looks terrible.

i might enjoy it, unfortunately 2k are in my shit-house because they STILL haven't released a pc-patch for NBA

I didn't think it looked terrible, but it didn't look as good as it could of. but still pretty damn good i thought.

I thought Yankee stadium looked just fine, in fact the game as a whole looks great.

It's the pitching and hitting that really makes me love that part of this series. Pitching is harder, but works just like they intended it too - much tighter this year.

Game runs very smooth... in all, I like what I see thus far - it's only a demo, so I'll put the real game through paces when I get back from Jupiter, Florida.

From what I'm reading, it looks like 2K10 has pre-10 Show disease when it comes to doubles. No balls hit over the outfielders heads nor shots down the line that rattle in the corner for doubles.

Hopefully an outfielder speed slider can fix that.

still semi optimistic for this. really want to pick this up tomorrow.

i might pick it up if they'd fucking put out a single patch for nba2k10 for PC. but if they won't they're not getting another dollar from me. fuck them.

My copy shipped today along with BC 2 - but I'll be on vacation for week starting Wednesday. :(

MLB Today... wow...

Major League Baseball 2K10 Video: MLB Today

Early impressions over on OS are positive. Only big negative so far seems to be the fielders arms are too strong. Hopefully 2K can fix this either with a patch or a roster update.

Pretty good impression listing here since there hasn't been much. Seems like there's more posts about the lack of impressions than anything else.

Who stole MBBF's logon credentials?

If I was the developer of this game, I would set it up so that with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th of a perfect game, the computer would always hit a slow roller and barely beat it out.

I'd set it up with a "bug" where Ben Davis would magically become the batter in the 8th inning of a perfect game.

Good news.

Played a few games tonight. Really liking it so far. Only downside I have right now is the strength of the OF arms, but I'm hoping that will be fixed.

I turned the OF Speed Slider to 0, and I'm seeing a good variety of hits. Doubles in the gap, down the line, bloopers over the infield (I use classic hitting, no swing stick for me.) Just won an extra inning game against Detroit in 11, had 2 HR's with Reimold, and a 3-run shot by Wieters. Just a press of the A button on all 3 HR's, no using the left stick to influence.

Commentary and presentation is top notch. Love all the stats and splits. MLB Today is awesome.

Simmed a season, Phillies won the World Series against the Tigers. The Tigers really got hot in August and came from 12 games down to win the division. No weird trades or anything. CPU offered me trades 1-2 times a month, but I declined all of them to just quick sim. But none involved superstar players.

Sim stats weren't out of line at all. Would have liked to see more marquee players leading the categories, but I'll have to check this out a few more times.

Some people on OS mentioned a bug where a reliever would come in and be listed at a position other than pitcher, but any reliever I brought in was listed correctly.

There is no foul ball slider in the game, and IMO, it doesn't need one. I saw plenty of foul balls. A few 8-9-10 pitch AB's with me or the AI fighting them off.

Just some random thoughts. Definitely a big improvement over the past, and a solid title to pick up as a 360 baseball fan.

I picked up the game today, and only got to play 3 innings. What little I played it was fun and an improvement from 09.

Awesome! Can't wait to play it when I get back from vacation.

I play on Pro defaults right now other than the fielder speed turned down, and the pitch meter slider maxed since I play on classic. Classic hitting and pitching, I'm not a fan of right stick mechanics.

Pitch counts are good. The AI doesn't swing at everything. I walked a few batters, and hit a few when I messed up on my pitch meter. I got up to over 70 pitches in the 5th with Matusz, and had the AI over 80 in the same time.

I hit a 2 run homer with Luke Scott and the AI pitched around him the next time he came up, and walked him.

I said this earlier but the MLB Today is awesome. I simmed to a game late in the season, and there's so many stats and overlays about what's going on in your season, with appropriate commentary. Players/teams leading in different categories, the wild card race, division standings, talking about how the players performed last night or even in the last week.

I read about another bug where the player of the game is usually someone that shouldn't win it, but I've not encountered this one either. All the games I played the player was deserving. Reimold was 3-4 with 2 HR, he was the player of the game. Luke Scott had a RBI double and a eventual game winning homer, and he won it.

I don't think there's any warnings or ejections from beanballs, because I hit a few guys, and the AI got revenge, but didn't see as much as a warning for any of them.

The 2K devs are also looking for patch feedback over on their forums, so hopefully the issue with the laser arms gets fixed. He said they're shooting for mid-April.

fuck the 2k devs...the shitheads still haven't released a PC patch for nba2k10...despite saying that they were bundling the 2 console patches for pc into one and that's why they were waiting.

they're not getting another red cent of my fucking money until they remedy that fucking situation. bunch of shit-eating motherfuckers.
