Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

[tazbk]

Just played 2 innings before I got to work. Players look off a little bit. Huge numbers of course. Yankee Stadium does not look sharp at all (I hope this is because its a demo).

I got crushed by the Phils 5-0. My timing is way off but I figure that is because I haven't played 2K in almost a year. I only played last year's version for like 2 weeks. I'm definitely renting the game before I buy it. I really want to check out the My Player mode.

I like the revised pitching system but like I said, I need to get my timing back. I completely forgot how to run the bases. I did draw a walk from Roy Halladay of all people. The computer still seems like it is really aggressive. I'll play a couple of games when I get in from work to get some more impressions.

Okay...after the Cubs/Mets gameplay video was released, I commented how that video saved me $60.

I am now here to tell you after squeezing in a quick game before work, I will in fact be dropping the $60 on this game!

Looks to be a serious leap forward from the crapfest 09 was.

Finally get to enjoy 2 baseball titles this season

I know it's not the best quality because i used a camcorder, but here's a little CPU/CPU action.:

Watch in 720p if you want the clearest picture. Again I didn't control either team. I just let the CPU play the top of the 1st.

It's only like 712MB or something like that. Shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes or so.

How does hitting work? Is it zone hitting with the LS or can I just concentrate on timing the swing with the RS?

Thanks,

Wow, where do I start? I've been a Show guy for a few years now, but I am EXTREMELY impressed with this demo. It's like an entirely new game... and I'll be honest, it reminds me a LOT of my favorite series ever... MVP.

- Graphics - much more crisp, clean, way better lighting, etc. I love the player models (although yes, the numbers are a little big... except on the Yankees unis?)

- Sound - NO MORE ORGAN PLAYER, bat sounds, crowd/ballpark

- Animations - it's like they went through and smoothed out every single animation they could find. Obviously still the OCCASIONAL strange one, but GREAT work here. Double plays, pitching, fielding, etc, all MUCH improved. I would like to see more interaction between players though

- Pitching/batting - they weren't kidding that they worked on this for this year. Feels extremely tight and responsive, and is a lot of fun!

- Presentation - obviously no commentary, but I'm glad they fixed the intro stuff. Very nice looking graphics leading in, and the girl sounds much better than the guy. It doesn't feel like we are getting ready for Friday Night Fights anymore, lol.

I'll definitely be getting two games this year, and from the feel of this little demo, I'll be playing both a LOT... feels great to be able to say that again!

Great job 2K!
