Hey guys, just a reminder that we will be forwarding more community questions to the developers (tonight), so if you want to get some last-minute questions in you can use this question. I figure some of you might have some fresh questions after playing the demo.

I would be very surprised if the jaggies in the shadows are removed in the retail version. I expect them to be there.

Do the scoreboards update other scores around the league in real-time?

# 23 MJeter02 @ 02/23/10 09:15 PM

Is the bat cursor still an option this year?!

Last year there was an option of having to move a bat cursor to where the ball was pitched in order to make contact, which was great because it required skill to do, not just timing the pitch and swinging.

# 24 Metroalex @ 02/23/10 09:57 PM

Will the player photos be more updated? For example, it is very annoying to see Halladay with a Jays hat or Ben Francisco - who got traded last year - with an Indians cap. In real life and MLB The Show, they photoshop the hats. Small details, but important.

Also, will the stadium scoreboard been updated? Last year it would show a player's stats for the year, but wouldn't update during the game. Also, it sometimes shows career stats, which is unnecessary.

ive hit a walk-off, and the team actually celebrates with you

Are there sliders for fielders arm strength and fielders speed? Throws from the outfield are way, way, way, too powerful. That will kill extra base hits.

# 27 tril @ 02/24/10 12:35 AM

will there be real time working scoreboards? like the scoreboard at Fenway Parks green monster (PC version)

Maybe I just didn't see it in the demo vids, but will there be dirty uniforms?

Jeter laid out for a ball in one vid, the dust came up, and his uni looked spotless afterwards...

Hmmmm, I fear this could be a game killer for me, jagged edges and low level crowd is the price to pay to have solid frames per second?

	Mark Little: We made big improvements to the visual quality on the PS3 (and 360 for that matter). We definitely reduced the jaggies and sizzle in the game, but we didn't stop there. We also improved many other areas like players, lighting and overall color balance.

Do I have to believe this 2K guy then?

What's the point of a demo with that stuff cut out exactly? It doesn't give a good first impression.

What baseball game has ever had a true cutoff man? Most games use relay men only. It would be nice to have this option but I've never seen it (although I haven't played every baseball game out there).

Did they update any or add any uniforms?

They are. I hit one with Swisher. The crowd didn't do anything really, no extra noise or anything but the rest of the team waited for me at the plate and mobbed me.

Really? Might be your tv because on mine they get dirty.

# 35 Juiceman @ 02/24/10 10:47 AM

Is the demo gameplay considered "final build"? There have been some reports of AI fielding issues, the D- walk rating, etc. So I'm wondering if these things will disappear because the demo is not part of the final build. Hope this makes sense.

# 36 Scooter3 @ 02/24/10 11:24 AM

Great work VC!

Any retro uniforms this year like the 1956 or 57' Redlegs with cut sleeves?

Maybe in the future you would be open to the idea of us voting for the top 2 classic uniforms of each franchise?

Are both National Anthems offered in 2K10?

Thank you,
scooter...

Is anti-aliasing turned off in the demo/are the graphics in the demo the same graphics we should expect in the final version?

Clarification would be appreciated

^ This. The IE ratings seemed to be the cause of the over agression in last year's version, and it's showing up again. That said, I have walked a couple of batters in the demo.

Another question...

In a batter's IE, how can a batter be Cs and Ds in each of the categories but still have an Overall rating of a B? All of the batters have a higher overall rating in the IE than what their ratings in each individual metric might suggest.

# 39 samuri26 @ 02/24/10 04:35 PM

Hey, during the demo I noticed a lack of anti-aliasing on the players and other features of the stadium (i.e. crowd). This resulted in really noticeable jagged player models and bodies which is distracting from the game and created an almost "rough and unfinished" look to the game. Will this be the same in the final product, or will there be anti-aliasing in the release game?

# 40 WarDawg58 @ 02/24/10 11:24 PM

I am hoping that the demo doesn't have the polish that the final game will have. Maybe they had to keep the demo a certin size or something.
