Major League Baseball 2K10 Gameplay Video (Mets @ Cubs)

Video was decent, there are definite improvements, but I'm pretty sure, after watching it twice, that I hate that batting view... it's like I'm watching through a scope... blech.

I just tend to think the fielding and basebrunning will be a bit more arcadish. The game looks awesome to me though. I'm as excited about this game as i've been for a sports game in a while sadly enough lol.

Don't let anyone curb your enthusiasm. The series has many critics & well deserved, but if the game is fun in your eyes & you enjoy yourself while playing it that's what really matters

I feel terrible for Xbox360 only owners.

ouch another step backwards.What is up with the numbers on the cubs jerseys they are way off.Did Omar Santos lose alot of weight over the winter or is that catcher his son.Also Omar is Hispanic not a white guy.The fast ball seems verrrry slow.On the foul ball in the stands nobody moves.All in all I can see why there has been very little out on this game.Personally I am going to rent it .I am happy i didn't pre order.Good Luck to those that did.

False, it lands up in the far corner of the screen, and you can see a small group of fans fighting for the ball.

I take umbrage with this statement, which is really degrading to the game.

For one, it is only constructive to "watch the pitch from the hand" if the pitching animation is realistic. My eyes were opened after seeing the pitching motions in that Japanese game, and it was something I looked for in this 2k video. I was pretty impressed with the whip of the pitcher's arm, which makes it authentic to actually pick up the ball and try to hit it.

On this point, I was disappointed that the guess pitch text indicator obscured the ball coming out of Perez' hand. This may occur only with lefties.

I was also disappointed because it did not seem to me that the pitches missed so wide or high out of the strike zone, as that Developer Insight had indicated. Although this half-inning of CPU pitching is certainly not conclusive, I would have expected Perez to miss the strike zone by a larger margin (for example, when pitching cautiously to Lee in that tight spot).
