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

[mtreznin]

Does 2K Baseball usually have a FASTPLAY mode where you don't have to watch all the animations in between pitches?

I have to admit..... I already have The Show pre-ordered, but I am now considering 2K10.

No, you're not nuts. As a matter of fact, you mentioned earlier you thought this had to do with the K zone staying up longer. Good insight. After watching the two 2K9 vs 2K10 comparison vids, I have to agree. In 2K9, the zone disappears as soon as the pitcher starts his motion. The new view has the zone until the ball leaves his hand. I think that helps.

Yes. It's called "Hurry Up" Baseball. Added it this year. Quote from the IGN Preview article: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/106/1060843p1.html

The last new feature that was shown to me was also one of the coolest, provided it can be tuned properly. It's called Hurry-up Baseball and it allows you to skip all those annoying cutscenes and replays that you'd usually have to tap A (or X on PS3) to get through. That means no 2K Sports logos flashing on the screen as they show replays of the preceding half-inning, no batter walk-ups to the plate and no commenting on what that batter has done previously in the game. It's much more to the point and is said to cut the amount of time it takes to get through a game by as much as half. The best part? You don't have to select to play the hurry-up brand of baseball before you get into a game. Instead you can toggle it right from the in-game menu. Want to slow it down in the ninth inning? Feel free to do so.

It was in 2K9 too.

I just watched the 2k9 vs 2k10 video and I really can see where they have made some good improvements. The demo should answer the rest of my questions.

Thanks for the correction. Just going off what the reviewer stated was new. Didn't look for something like that in last year's version, as I always let the presentation stuff play out, or skipped thru it with the button.

Thanks Joe

Very nice atmosphere, the pitching interface looks challenging.
