Major League Baseball 2K10 Debut Trailer (No Gameplay)

[SPTO]

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.

The words 'better' and 'promoting' rarely deserve to be in the same sentence when discussing 2K's marketing tactics.

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.

I take what I said back. We could at least get one screen shot before the new year. Just give us one or more of Evan Longoria because the show already put out a slew of info. 2K should counter that with some info about 2k10.

Totally agree.
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.

If I were them I would focus on the 360 and PC version just because the majority of PS3 owners don't even look at 2k as an option. They should try to make those versions the best they can be.

How many PS3 owners really do look at 2k as an option?

Not the point, they have a license, they should represent it with the fullest of their abilities. The Show, should make them strive to be better in theory.

But I do think the financial situation is really hurting them. Just look at the NBA, sure it is the best game out, but they didn't do much from 2K9 to 2K10, some say it was buggier and worse. And with NBA Live gaining major ground, you think they would have "stepped up their game".

And we wont even talk about Hockey.
