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

[Checmate101]

I love what I saw..the numbers could be smaller, but other than that, I'll be there for a first day buy. But I thought it was suppose to be 2 innings?

The graphics look much better this year from last last year, but the swing followthroughs look sooooooo bad

Much improved from 2k9. Glad I preordered. Anything not liked about the gameplay can probably be tweaked with sliders, same goes for camera view.

A list of what I didn't like:
-Framerate a little choppy (may be gameinformer's converting of the video)
-Numbers too big on jerseys (could be fixed with roster update/patch)
-Jersey name font same for every team (prob can't be fixed)

And the bottom half of the inning....

Soriano first pitch single. Hittable pitch.

Theriot...sigh. He is not an elite hitter. He isn't even an elite SS. He sees every pitch with the batters eye. Again, hoping this is because of difficulty settings.

Would have drawn a 4 pitch walk had the user been realistically patient, which is nice. The hit and run works on a slow grounder which basically is a seeing eye single. Multiple hits in an inning is fine, but it has to be balanced out by innings with no hits. Hard to judge when you only get 1 inning of play. The range of hits per game was 8-10 last season; hopefully they used this statistic. A big problem with 2k9 was that it was too easy to get 20 hits a game (edit) and you never had games with only 5 or 6 hits. The end result was averaging 13 hits a game, which is way to high (edit)

Okay, I would have swung at that slider to Derrek Lee. 2nd pitch shows up on the batters eye out of the zone. a 4 pitch walk. Perez is pretty wild, and to have him get rattled with runners on is pretty true to life. And had it been me, I might have swiped at the first pitch.

User falls behind in the count with A-Ram and eventually GIDP. Very nice. CPU is smart enough to go 6-4-3 for the 2 outs and let the run score.

Marlon Byrd chases a pitch for a single. 3 hits and a walk in the inning.

User chases with Fukudome.

Batters eye is showing up a lot.

Not a lot we can go on from such a small sample, but as far as GAMEPLAY goes, I can already tell it's going to need sliders. But I figured as much.

I came away with really mixed feelings about the video. The pitcher/batter matchup DOES look great, you can tell they really worked on that. Like alot. Huge improvement.

However:
- The animations... some are good, some are awful. The Double-play looked nice, but a regular ground ball to the SS had the "sped up" animation thing happen. That looks awful.
- Soriano pickoffs/diving back - WTF? That looked really, really bad.
- The hitting camera is atrocious, but adjustable so thats fine. I thought they said it would be easier to judge if the ball is low or high in the zone... yeah thats not true at all.
- The numbers are gigantic.

Overall, I'm going to rent from Gamefly first and decide if I want to buy or not.

Can you mod uni's on the PC version? I saw a lot of good, but that really bugs me. I'm actually liking the batting camera. It could go up just a little bit, though. I'm pretty sure that can be moved with a mod. The oversped up fielding animations are something that they really need to see if they can patch. They are unnatural looking. All in all, looks pretty good. Haven't seen anything that really turns me off, save the uni's....

Game looks miles ahead of 2K9, but still has that "rough around the edges" feel to it, almost like it's in beta form or something. I have so much to say both about the good and the bad (more bad than good on a non-comparative level), but I think the best thing that comes out of this is you can really tell that VC did a lot in a year-long development cycle, and it shows. I think this series is finally going in the right direction.

I liked the stats, broken down to counts after each pitch.
