This seems to be a simple artistic fix that 'fell by the wayside' in order to shore up the issues that plagued this game over the last few years. If that's the case, then 2K needs to admit this. But to 'defend' it is arrogant of them. Realistically, how much time and resources would it have taken to correct this issue, 2K? It's always something with this game. Instead of hearing about the true positives and negatives of the 1-inning gameplay video that 2K approved of for release, we're moaning about the gigantic numbers on the back of players' jerseys. 2K just can't get this thing right, man. WAKE UP, 2K! WAKE UP! BigBlue

It is a bit hypocritical though, when you think about it. Many who say "it's all about the gameplay" are complaining about this.

I think it's just an eyesore that is constantly there and constantly reminds you that these jersey's you are looking at don't look like the real jersey's in a very obvious way. Even if you are are a game play whore, a huge, obvious eye-sore is hard not to notice.

It'd be kind of like if they dirt circle that surrounded the pitching mound was twice the diameter that it is. Likely it wouldn't impact the game, but the whole time you're playing, you're thinking to your self, "man, that just looks bad. how did they not see that?"

I don't disagree with you, trevy. Just pointing something out.

I really liked what I saw. I'm could care less if the numbers were big and are going to be like that for every team. I don't care but, so of you guys do.

From what it looked like, they really made strides to make it a better playing game. Maybe the crowd doesn't up and moving around (again, I don't care about that) but, what do some of you guys want them to do? Eat hot dogs and start fights in the stands?

I think they did a great job so far. I'll wait and see how it plays before I start bashing them.

Probably not, but if you noticed they lower the resolution of the outfield crowd when you're in the batting camera view. In fact, there's an actual line that is drawn where you see the high-res crowd separate from the low-res crowd (see the Morneau single in the hitting instruction video). Cheap parlor tricks like this to increase the framerate makes me wish that someday they scrap what they have to make sure they can have both high resolution and 60 FPS.

I didn't notice that. To be honest I've really cared one way or another what the crowds look like. As long as the gameplay is smooth, that's all I care about.

If the crowds looks good than that's just extra icing.

I don't consider that icing since it's 2010 now. I'm sorry. I'm not tryin' to start an argument with you. I'm being serious.

In my opinion, the MLB 2K graphics / physics engine needs a lot of work or to be completely recreated.

I liked what I saw. Sure there is room for improvements. The size of the numbers did bother me. I hope we have a solid baseball game.
