The relationship gamers have had with the MLB 2K franchise in recent years is similar to one that can happen to people with significant others they no longer truly care about. Those people in now-loveless relationships hold out hope that their wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend will change back into the person they originally fell in love with in the first place. They try to find false signs of hope in insignificant events because they really want to believe that the person they fell in love with will return and just needs to be brought back to the surface somehow. Unfortunately, it usually ends up being smoke and mirrors, and those people just have to accept the fact that they need to move on and find someone else.
And perhaps MLB 2K10 can be that new “flame” in gamers’ lives. Maybe it can be that new girlfriend or boyfriend that rejuvenates your belief in love -- not that I think dating a game disc would qualify as a healthy relationship, just so we are clear on that front.
Still, there is another group of people in the above scenario who will be so jaded by the initial failed relationship that they will no longer believe any relationship can work, which is perfectly acceptable as well.
Regardless of where each gamer fits into the above scenario, during my limited time with MLB 2K10 I at least saw a glimmer of hope and a reasonable chance that MLB 2K baseball is finally on the right path.
