Not only that, but I think that was the excuse for their camera angle last year to go so high up and angle downwards, so they barely get any of the stands in the outfield. I hope we're not stuck with that camera nonsense again.

The stadiums look AWESOME this year. They really went crazy with the details for 2k10. I love the word "obsessed" and I wouldn't expect anything less from VC.

I agree with you on the high camera angles last year, but I don't think that's going to be the case this year. 2k9 in many ways felt rushed. 2k heard many complains about the terrible camera angles last year. I don't think they'll do the same mistake, but who knows. Time will tell.

The high camera angle has been in the game since 2k8. I actually like it a lot when fly balls are hit. I have seen some Major League games that use that same camera angle. I believe 1 of those teams is the Nats

I Just hope they give us options.

I was thinking about the stats the added. If they add that to the commentary, that would offer a nice amount of depth. They mentioned how Longoria does against Pettite. That would be a great presentation piece to talk about that, or even how one particular player bats in a stadium at night.

It's something that really would be great in other games too. For instance, talking about how Peyton plays in New England etc.

I really hope the sky isn't completely dark at the start of night games. Does anyone know if progressive lighting will be in 2k10?
