Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

[jeffy777]

OK, I deleted the patch to compare graphics and there is a DEFINITE reduction in jaggies. Post patch, the edges of the pitcher's mound are quite a bit smoother and you can really notice the scoreboards and other outfield areas look less jagged when batting......it's not totally jaggie-less, but it is better now.

I can take some pics for comparison if you guys want, but I'm not sure how good it would look with a digital camera, but take my word for it, it's an improvement (you can test for yourself by clearing your cache).

With that said, after the patch I have noticed a bit of frame rate hitching while base running from the My Player view, but it's not bad, and it's mostly when I pan the camera with the right stick, so I guess that's the trade off for having a little more anti aliasing to smooth out the jaggies. I'll take it because for the most part, the framerate is still just as smooth overall.

I actually tweeted Ronnie2K a response stating that I bought 2K10 over the Show and this is how you treat me? His answer was this, "Maybe you don't know the whole story... read my patch post again and read into it what you will."

I can't read his patch notes (http://bit.ly/cnChQ9) at work. Anybody able to decipher what he meant?

a couple more things, i too have noticed that the jaggies are cleaned up. the graphics actually look a lot better to me. i really noticed that right away.

the check swings that i saw had some appeals to the umpires along with the commentary for them. if it was a ball, it would be a ball. its just a shame that you cant check swing on classic control. i dont have any interest in using the swing stick.

I'm glad you posted something because I thought I noticed an improvement too as soon as I started My Player. But I thought it was my imagination and wishful thinking. I did not go as far as you did and delete the patch and check it, so it's really true then great news! I didn't think they would be able to do something like this is a small patch.

It would be nice to see some comparison pics if you get a chance.

The patch was only submitted to MS and not Sony because MS helped them out to release the patch early.

There will also be another patch for the 360.

The PS3 will get both patches combined as one.

So worry not PS3 gamers, you are getting the same patching as 360 users.

Cool, good stuff Jeffy.

Also, this is kevdood8312 from 2K forums.

Can you check out the changes I made to the bug list before I email it to Ron2K again?

He emailed this morning and is waiting on the updated list.

I applaud them for doing that, because, as a result, the swing stick has turned into a great and surprisingly deep batting mechanic.

i prefer timing & attributes myself.not moving a "stick" to obtain a certin swing type.no check swings in classic hitting=a gatt damnnn shame/

All I will say is patch #2 better be a whole lot better than this.

It seems they just completely ignore the biggest gripes...gameplay issues.

This is pretty disappointing to say the least.

Just a whole lot of fluff and very little substance with this patch.
