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

[Mediocore]

Much better than last year. After one game:

Pros:
HR using contact swing (on a 2-0 fastball)
Graphics/lighting
Pitching seems like it'll be a good challenge

Cons:
No grass friction
Field dimensions
2K still has a weird affinity for dust clouds
Still awards hits on a FC -- Runner on 2B, hard hit ball to 3B... I tagged the runner out and the batter was safe at 1B. Ruled a hit.

Absolutely. Howard is the most glaring, he looks like Carl Crawford. Not just in body type but also in his face.

This is true. Especially the upper body.

Was anybody really able to hit any gapers?

I think I only had 1 double in the 7-8 games I played.

There is grass friction. I have noticed on slow hit balls that transition from grass to dirt and vice versa. They even mention this in one of their articles that talks about them re-doing the stadiums.

I think the player models look great. CC looks fat like he's supposed to. I like the player models better than the other game as of now. I'll wait to give final verdict when I play the other game.

I didn't have a huge complaint with CC, but Ryan Howard is the same size as Robinson Cano.

I've been very impressed with the demo but have some negative comments (all of which have been said before)

Once the ball is in play, to me the game moves too fast. My biggest concern is the lack of doubles and triples because of this.

The CPU seems to pitch way too many strikes. Hopefully this will be adjustable with sliders and hopefully pitchers become less accurate as they tire.

CPU batters seem a little too aggressive at the plate, another thing that will hopefully be adjustable with sliders.



One thing people have been complaining about that I love is the new batting camera. I find it much more realistic to judge balls/strikes than it was in 2K9.
