It looked to me like human (Rockies) vs computer (Phillies)

From what we have read so far to what I just saw I was expecting more to be honest. Its decent but not what I expected.

Well then where is the better management they've spoke of?

Don't see it if Jose Contreras isn't getting yanked, and CPU Charlie Manuel isn't playing matchups in the 8th inning of tied 1 out ball game. Ugh.

I didn't like the HR "tell" because the gameplay went into slo-mo and the batter showed no reaction as the ball leaving the bat that it was a HR, he just ran out the batter's box as if he was going for extra bases.

No game can EVER get crowd noise right.....this is frustrating!!!!!!

NLCS......Coors Field......a Grand Slam......annnnnnnnd.............the crowd says "yay".

Still waay to quiet!

The developers said they re-did all the swing animations, but I saw no such instances in that video. I'm gonna have to see some more footage to really get a full idea of all the gameplay improvements.

Fully agree with these comments. I like mlb2k10 and am still playing it, but some things in the presentations are really wrong (other things too, but i'm focussing on presentation right now).
I'm seeing the same wrong things again in this video.
As said above where are the homerun celebrations....Its postseason and you hit a grand slam in the 8th inning of a tied game!! Come on, where are the runner awaiting the batter to celebrate.
Crowd noise is improved, but the reactions with that grand slam are very underwhelming.
The game still has the jerkiness. I mean, catch the ball, stand still for a sec, and then go into the next animation.
I really hope this year after an out the infielders throw the ball around instead of returning it to the pitcher immediately.

And then there's the replays. My god do they suck or what?
Again i'm seeing replays of an rbi, with the only focus on the runner scoring? Why not a beautifull reply of the pitcher delivering, and the batter swinging, with the cam set somewhere behind the batter?
Anything is better than this. Then there's some replays that start when the play is already halfway.
Outfielders are still making the same hop when fielding / throwing the ball.
I noticed a runner going very fast to 1st base, just as if the game had to compensate for something.

All in all very disappointing. As said i like 2k10 but they could have done a lot with this presentation wise. Sofar i'm not seeing it.

Kind of felt the same way. Game looks great but not what I expected from reading all the previews.

The new variable strike zone really showed itself off during that 2-2 pitch to Fowler.
Nice.
Very Nice.
