Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insight: MLB Today

It's roughly two weeks then, plus another two for pressing and distribution. I can only imagine the offices at Visual Concepts are a little hectic right now.

I imagine Steve and other sports gaming sites will get final copies in about three weeks or so judging by last year. I can hardly wait to see his screens and read his impressions.

I watched the NBA 2K game play videos posted earlier in the thread. I think Thorne and Phillips are better than Harlan and Kellogg, but I like what the NBA 2K team did with the commentary.

They understand in a TV style broadcast, the play-by-play does not need to keep up with every play. It is, after all, on TV; people are watching what happens. The best play-by-play people in the business let the game play out in front of them and add to it when necessary.

I also hope 2K does not replace Steve Phillips after this year. He did something stupid, not illegal -- and his voice work is solid.
