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

[Pared]

No one is crucifying you. Stop overreacting.

I can see how the numbers bother folks. I wish they were done right. But rather become an eyesore that continues to bother me, it would be something I would never really think about again. I'd just grow used to it, if the game plays how I feel it should.

Now if it has hiccups, like 2K8, that becomes unplayable.

all i want from 2K10 is an improved pitching interface, as 2K9 was a a step back from 2K8, and improved AI in regards to taking pitches and throwing balls. Everything else about 2K9 was acceptable.

The pitching looks great.

I'm not really going to trust the AI until I put some time into the game myself.

The video makes me think the game can be what I want. But time will tell.

The numbers do suck, however I remember back in the MVP days the numbers were too small. Oh well, I'll live.

I don't argue on a forum. I've been here long enough to know when to end a conversation. People have opinions and sometimes they're not the same as others. That's to be expected.

IMO, I could care less about crowds, vendors, score boards up****** in real time, active bull pens, etc... That stuff IMO is just icing on the cake.

All I care about is what happens on the field. And, IMO that vid showed that they're making the progress they need to. From what they had last year to this is year is really, really, amazing.

As far as engines go, they're like our opinions. Everyone has one and not everyone is going to like the other. We has this kind of debate with every sports game that has competition.

Me, I'm old enough to only worry about game play. All the other stuff, like I said before, is icing on the cake!

Intial reaction from the video is that it's very similar to 2k9 animationwise and lookwise.

I see that the adboard are more varied even though they are not actual sponsors just decent mimics which is ok.

I'll be honest though nothing stands out other than maybe smoother player models and overall graphical polish for THIS engine.

Gameplay looks the same so an edit is in order

Yeah those numbers do look a little wonky. And might that pick-off situation with Soriano be correctable? It's kind of funny to watch as it stands now. In terms of the whole video, I can't say I was altogether dissapointed. The game looks fair enough overall.

And I will say this: after the 3rd Cubs run is scored, the runner bumps into the umpire on his way back to the dugout. Granted, it wasn't an animated "whoops, I hit you" type of deal (he really did just kind of bump off him like electric football) but if I remember correctly that would have been a prime opportunity last year for the player to run directly through the umpire like a ghost, so it's a welcomed step in the right direction.

Wow, Ramirez grounds into a double play.... yes, Lee scores on the play. However, Gary Thorne yells something about it possibly being the "play of the week." Really? Ummm.... no. It was a fairly routine double play turn. Overall, it looked much better than 2K9, and the ball to strike ratios were good.

Gameplay is #1 for me too and I agree with ya, they are making progress - especially with the batting and pitching.

I don't think what they did from last year is really, really amazing, but it's obvious they put work into it just from lookin' at that little gameplay video. After playing it, I'll probably see they put even more work into it.

I'm probably just as old or older than you are.
