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

Can someone try batting using the standard "behind the pitcher" view used in real broadcasts? I bat from this view and last year in 2k9 the CPU catcher would give away location of the pitch instead of always setting up in the middle thereby making hitting easy.

Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked.

Fielding is pretty much played by the cpu. Even throwing the ball with the meter, often times the computer will choose the release point instead of you when fielding a grounder.... baffling. The ball simply dies when it gets to the outfield. I've played exactly 15 games, not ONE ball that made it down the line or in the gap that went to the wall. In those games I got ONE double, and it was a close play. ZERO hits that went over outfielders or landed at the warning track for a hit... ZERO. Outfielders move left and right to fast, and have super cannons for arms. If the CPU didn't cut the ball off on throws home, a runner would never score from 2nd base on a single. I for one won't be buying, and I won't be buying the show either. The show while it plays a great game of baseball, is stale and boring. Wish I could take the pitching and hitting interface from 2k and realism from the show.

The problem may just be with you. I mean.. How can you not like either game ? It's ridiculous how picky you are.

These games aren't real. They are trying to simulate reality. They're not gonna be perfect and I know you know this already, right ?

Can't change the camera in the demo.

Has there been a post of all the controls somewhere?

The controls are in the game. Press start, controller settings. There ya go.

Huh, I thought I pressed start and didn't see anything. Maybe I should get my eyes checked.

Tell me a sports game that plays well out of the box. I don't think any sports game plays great OOTB. That's why they put sliders in sports games in the first place.

I've been playing this demo most of the night now and I gotta say, the more I play it the more I like it! The hitting feels right and the pitching is challenging but fun! Seems like you have to earn strikeouts and you cant make too many mistake pitches. The graphics are definitely great and I love love love the smooth framerate!! 2K has my $60 come next week.
