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

batting behind the pitcher view is ruined again this year....the catcher moves to the exact spot way too early before the ball so u know exactly where the ball will end up just by looking at the catcher.

I'm not knocking this view but I'm just curious as to why you would want to bat using that camera angle (from behind the pitcher)...

Regardless, I agree with you. If they provide that camera angle then they should ensure that the controls are intuitive and that the game doesn't give away the spot of the pitch so easily.

Try batting from the "batter" view. That's what it's designed for

I disagree. The catcher should move if he moves. That's baseball.

I like BTP as well (though I'm going with BTB when hitting for this year) and that's just how it is. You can also see what the catcher throws down from that view.

Up to you to look or not look.

I would hate it if they made the catcher a statue just because we want to hit from that view.

I have to agree. Catchers move. I can't remember which catcher, but someone wanted to pummel A-Rod a year or two ago for looking at the catcher right before the pitch. The catcher thought it was 'cheating'. I say it's a smart move if you want to hit well and can find the time to do that. And I can't stand A-Rod for the record.

edit: the only problem in a video game is that if the catcher "catches" you looking at him before the pitch, it doesn't matter in a video game if the next pitch is a bean ball at you. In real baseball the bean ball might deter you from doing that again. Sad but true.

Any news on when the next patch is due? I really want throwing arm, injury and error sliders.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but has the patch for the PS3 dropped yet? The other day I was prompted for patch 1.06. Is this the same patch as the recent 360 one?

I remember back in Bases Loaded II for the original Nintendo, the catcher would stay stationary but only his glove would float around towards the direction of the pitch as it came in (without his arm attached). It was pretty awesome

But yes, catchers should move in video games. This isn't 1990 anymore.
