There you go, Blazzen.

I guess Braves fans are jackasses, too?

I think the visuals are good enough. Improved from last year, though I didn't have a problem with 2k9's visuals either. You see some anti-aliasing and screen tearing, particularly when the ball goes near the stands, but that could also be an issue with the demo. The one thing that does bother me is the throwing motions. Nobody seems capable of bending their wrist when they release a ball, which looks really fake. Also, OF's throwing the ball to their left or right still always look like they're throwing to home until the ball comes out. Not deal-breakers for me, but things I wish they would've improved from last year.

I agree on the throwing. some look good, but some look stupid because of the lack of wrist. at times the ball doesn't look like it's the product of the throwing animation either (as in a gun shot when the throw wasn't intense)

It is MAJORLY better than last year though.

I think the ratings are good in 2k ALA NBA 2k, not making players ratings so freaking high is real and it's good. Some players don't deserve the ratings they get in Video games.

This years game warrants a major roster overhaul in my opinon. I will be getting to work with minors first, then Simming rosters and finding faults there

2008 he hit 27.
2007 he hit 20, but in 115 games. He was on pace to hit 26 that year with 151 games played like in 2008.
And yes, he was injured in 2009.
2010 he's fully recovered from surgery and if you read ajc.com like most Braves fan's do he's feeling great. 26-27 homeruns is a safe bet.

26-27 homeruns is Chipper Jones territory - which he's rated 75-80 in power.

I rest my case.

This one isn't a jackass because it was a respectful response, something you rarely see from a Philly fan.

No, this guy is just misinformed, which, (see above) I enlightened him.

Please, tell me, do you REALLY know what Philly fans are like or are you simply spewing ignorant garbage?

You hear other PEOPLE voice opinions on Philadelphians and you agree; instead of forming your own opinion, you follow others'.

Whatever.

Glaus hasn't been reliable in years. he's on the tail end of his career and is a significant injury risk. A 68 OVR is reasonable.

If power were all about home runs then you might have a point. Problem is it isn't. To get a better feel for a player's power, you need to take into consider his slugging percentage, and the last 3 full seasons (didn't count Glaus' 2009) Jones' Slugging is far superior to Glaus'.

Jones
2006 - .596
2007 - .604
2008 - .574

Glaus
2006 - .513
2007 - .473
2008 - .483

Believe me, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Glaus is going to be anything more than older version of Casey Kotchman, i.e. a stop-gap until Freddie Freeman's ready.

And not for nothing, but I wouldn't expect any athlete to get in a paper and talk about how worn out he is. So you'll understand if I'm a little skeptical about Glaus' personal evaluation. (And I read the ajc almost daily.) Sorry. I'm just not that gullible.
