MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 is Available, Post Impressions Here

[cardsleadtheway]

The other day I was getting really frustrated with how there seems to be no difference between turf and grass on ground balls in the outfield. This is extremely frustrating when playing in Oakland, as it is a huge part of what makes Oakland a pitcher's park. I just figured that it was impossible for the developers to distinguish the two for game play. Then I played in Texas, and the grass works perfect. I was very impressed with the difference in the way the ball moves, or really doesn't move, in Texas. Very impressive that they were able to do that. Very unfortunate that they didn't do this in Oakland.

Great news. The dev's comments sound like they've nailed the prob spot-on. Thanks, Segagendude!

Has anyone else seen a pitcher injured on a shot back up the middle? I've seen plenty of batted balls hit the pitcher hard, but have yet to see a pitcher injured due to this. Several times, however, they replay in "Show-Mo" w/Hud commenting "He's a gamer". In real life, everyone holds their breath when this happens. Most of the time the pitchers are indeed, "gamers" and are okay, but shots like this do lead to injury... Sometimes quite serious. Remember Padres' SP Chris Young taking that Pujols line drive off his forehead? Yikes!

Sooooo glad they did include this feature in 10 rather than having the ball pass through the pitcher as if he's a ghost like in '09. Now if the pitcher were injured once in a great while, that would be awesome. And it would certainly even out things, 'cause that guy's taking some screaming hits away!

Not having played the game until today these are general game impressions as opposed to patch related but the other topics have closed.

There's almost no feel to the hits off the bat. An infield grounder feels the same as a HR. I'm not sure if it's a sound thing or a feel thing but it's not right.

Graphics look great and as usual the animations are nothing short of spectacular.

While at the plate the hitter/pitcher duel is amazing.

The pitching is absolutely awful. Both versions. Classic doesn't have any indication of when to let the ball go so it feels overly random and I thought the meter has always been bad.

Great job on the little things as usual,it really adds a lot to the presentation. It even names the umpires.

While I have some problems with franchise mode, I'm absolutely in love with the gameplay. It's almost perfect.

I say almost because this... this I hate. And it happens far too often, sadly. (sorry for the crappy SD quality! also, video might not be live yet, YouTube is chugging along right now)

I posted a couple weeks ago about this exact same issue and everyone told me it didn't exist. Thanks for posting this. Not a game killer, love this game. Best sports game ever.

he over-ran the baseball.

Try making that play by going at an angle. In other words, instead of going horizontal, try going diagonal. Also..try tapping the R2(dive) button when you are in that animation.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread Part 2***
What game mode
franchise

any time Lou Gehrig gets a home run the top ticker says 0 instead of the hr. Others I notice will hit a hr and the above ticker says the players name and (5) if that's his 5th hr. Everytime Lou gerhig gets a home run it says 0.
