When this series had a consistent developer it was a great game. World Series Baseball (Blue Shift) Again this series since Next-Gen has not had a consistent developer. Finally 2k Baseball has a development team dedicated to the series which should help move the series in the right direction

Having different development teams is definitely part of it but to me it seems like the level of baseball knowledge of the current development team seems light. When they initially release a game that does not have a check swing system implemented that is a huge red flag to me. When I play 2k baseball it feels like baseball at face value without all the idiosyncrasy's of the sport.

Totally agree. The QA in this series has been terrible. As for the knowledge the developer's have on baseball, that I can;t speak-on but the hope would be they have some knowledge of the game

It's very clear YOU don't like mlb2k, so why keep bashing the game? Or better yet since you don't like the game why do you ruin it for others that probably like the game?

I see what you mean, and I'm not apologizing for it, but maybe they didn't have enough time to get it working properly IDK. I feel that check swings should have been there from the start. There are many things missing in this game. I feel like the fielding animations need to be completely redone.

Come on guys n' gals, I thought 2k10 was really fun. Yet I play the Show religiously, let's not ascribe our arbitrary definitions of "good" to others' opinions.

The games have different strengths , keep it civil and NO game warring.

So far, my only problem with the 2k series has been - to me - a glaring error in at least one statistical computation that the game has made in the versions that I've seen. If 2k10 has fixed this, please let me know, as I don't have the game and haven't tried to play it elsewhere. The computation for fielding percentage is supposed to be (PO + A)/(PO+A+E)=FP. The game doesn't even calculate total chances correctly, as it doesn't add A to the equation. It also calculates FP incorrectly, even taking into account the lack of A in the equation. The game calculates FP using the equation (PO-E)/PO=FP, which is so far off I almost did a spit-take the first time I saw it, back in 2K6. It still did it that way in 2K9, at least on the PS2.

I like both, even though I prefer the Show a bit more,but I think you're correct with this. Another huge thing, have you seen the swings? They look HORRID. Just look at a video and see how the players swing, it looks so unrealistic.

How am I ruining it for others ? It's not even like that. I'm just here to talk about MLB 2K. What ? I'm not allowed to post in this forum cause I prefer to play MLB The Show ? Is that how it is ?
