March 2nd? Guess that's what I expected, but I just hope that's enough "time" so to speak.
I think 2k is getting better at promoting their products. A early video I hope there is more info coming soon. I really want this game to bee good.

I really hope the work on the pitcher vs hitter. It's what makes the game so beautiful. Setting up the hitter vs. the hitter come up to the plate and making the necessary adjustments. I would love for 2K to add a protect the plate feature. Maybe a weaker swing, where the likelyhood of fouling off a ball - opposed to getting a hit. Of course this would be ratings based. Some hitters would be better then others.
seems like 2k is actually trying to sell their game this year. They are actually early on their marketing..

Very funny, lol. My favorite commercial is till the Show's from last year I think? The Dustin Pedroia one. "Oh I'm sorry, I was just polishing my MVP trophy." That was solid gold. Hopefully 2k10 comes out good this year, 2k9 was a step in the right direction. They're almost there.

If they could add a reactive system that actually learned from your tendencies, I think it would take this game to great levels. It could start of basic at first and they could take it deeper in future years, but there has to be a way that the computer picks up on some very general tendencies and then exploits them. If you swing at every pitch, the computer should begin to expand the zone until you adjust.
And I could argue it was even worse on the AI hitting side as even after the patch, even the most patient hitters in real life acted as Clones of Vlad in the game.
They have done a great job capturing the stances and windups of these players, but IMO, that is where it stops. At almost no point playing this game, do I feel like I am actually facing these players. Occasionally I get a glimpse of what feels like Tom Glavine pitching like Tom Glavine, but for the most part I get Tom Glavine pitching like Joe Shmoe.
Where is Albert Pujols taking and fighting of pitches until you make a mistake? Where is Jason Kendall refusing to swing the bat until he has two strikes? They all kind of share the same mentality when at the plate.
I think some very generic hitter/pitcher personalities would do wonders to this game to add a level or realism that differentiates one player from another.

Just curious... but "what do we know so far"?
I have yet to see any info, please point me to the right direction.

I need to preface this with the reality that I want this game to be successful. I really do.
However, you don't make your first video with no gameplay. You have a competitor that has consistently outdone you in this generation. Put something up that show what you're talking about. Show that your game has pop. All this shows me is that they are relying on celebrity to boost their product.

That was a nice, funny video. I love hearing guys talk about baseball, and hearing King Felix talk about his approach to Longoria was great. Plus, the cambio is my favorite pitch. Nice to see Bailey get some recognition after his great season as well.
I don't need to see gameplay in December. Once the calendar turns, yeah then I'll expect some. With the pressure on the MLB 2K team, I hope for their sakes that they put out a good product this year.

That was a funny fluff video there
It seems that they have put more emphasis on the batter/pitcher dynamic if you take what Longoria said at the end as gospel. I'm REALLY hoping this game does well or else X360 owners are truly screwed for years to come when it comes to baseball gaming.

Hopefully they've learned some lessens and decided to actually promote some of their sports games earlier than 2 weeks before release.
I really want 2K10 to be a good baseball game. I love analog fielding. It's a big enough thing for me that I'd consider 2K10 over The Show.

If the game is out in 3 months, surely we should have some screenshots by now?
But this is 2K's way. Check out the forums for the rest of their sports games and you'll see the same complaining for all of them.
Their marketing department is reactive, not proactive.
The Show is arguably the best sports game on the market right now and yet 2K acts like they're the only one making a baseball game.
David might have beaten Goliath with a pebble, but 2K will have no such luck.
They should have been the first one to release screenshots and video. Not the other way around.
I really want 2K to be a good baseball game. The Show is growing stale for me. So if 2K screws up this sport too (hockey looks like it could be done), I'll be ticked.

It is because, in their eyes, they are (360/PC). It seems like they almost write off the PS3/PSP. Especially with the "lack of a patch" for 2K8 on the PS3, but the 360 received one for the same issues.
