I hear ya. I really wish they had a marketing guy who was passionate about baseball, or was at least mindful enough to realize that he should let someone else make the video who knows the game better and can spotlight the improvements.

Thats incredibly good to hear. Ronnie did a terrible job showing any part of what was talked about in any of the DD's

To expand on that tweet, seeing the game on a big-screen HDTV helped to show off the improved color palette, and that even just the colors really do a lot to improve the graphics in the game. Plus, as some have mentioned earlier, day games look great in 2K, and I played in a day game.

In addition, just seeing the presentation over the course of a couple innings helps to show how everything is syncing up.

the game is shaping up very well.....

I have already pre-ordered the other game, but I am going to be very confused when March 8th rolls around. I am really tempted to get both, but I may just wait until I get sick of one and then trade the other game in for this one? Ugh I can't decide. The whole fielding system looks great and the analog hitting in this game (for me) is much more intuitive.

He may be up against impossible odds (I don't know what the culture is like inside 2K Games), but Ronnie seems to hurt games' perception more than he helps. That's a problem.

I'm astonished that, with all the criticism that this series has received, THIS is the gameplay video they released. A no-doubt, opposite field grand slam by Seth Smith and commentary that made no sense in relation to the situation? Come on.

I'm very, very disappointed, and I actually had a modicum of hope for this year's version. I actually have faith in the developer, but only if they COMPLETELY scrap every single line of code that has ever been written for this series and start entirely from scratch.

I am disappointed too. But on the other hand, i just noticed some new vids regarding defense. They look much much better.
Seems to me the difference between night and day games is still too big.
On the ps3 version the day games (of mlb2k10) look fantastics, whereas the night games have ps2 graphics.

I hope this is solved.....
