MLB 2K10 News Post

2K Sports has just posted their Major League Baseball 2K10 MLB Developer Insight, focusing on art direction.

Quote:
"We went through all the stadiums and scrutinized the architectural details and nuances, in an effort to correct anything we saw that has changed since the previous MLB season. We also introduced some new stadiums not in last year’s game. I’m sure you’ll all be excited to see the new Target Field in Minnesota. We worked off of the blueprints of the actual stadium so our stadium will be spot on in terms of accuracy for Twins fans.

We paid a lot of attention to the fields this year, introducing new technology to the dirt which better portrays wetness, degradation, moisture, rake, wear, and traffic. The grass is equally as sophisticated. We took into account the same lighting properties with our dirt, as well as the actual mow patterns for each stadium. We even went as far as taking into consideration the type & length of grass, and the direction it is mowed. I guess you can say we are a little obsessed with grass tech from our football days. We are sticklers for accuracy because we aim to please our simulation fans everywhere!

The environments capture each ballpark’s look and feel and showcase their specific celebrations, ads, scoreboards, and fans accordingly. We made sure to balance the ads within the parks and colors to mimic life, and you will see more real life advertisement slots and sizes than in MLB 2K9. In general, we wanted the environments to capture the real essence of baseball, but differently for the various stadiums across the league."

I'm a big fan of the little details, but eyes? When would you ever get the chance to notice this except for up close screen shots?

plenty of times. cut scenes. walking into the batters box. there were plenty of moments where you had close ups of the players.

Eh...I'm not as nitpicky as others, but this seems fairly simple. It's not asking for correct shapes, squint, bags, wrinkles, etc. We're talking getting the base color right...that's it...not even shades or variations of a color. Not a "game killer" or whatever, but it seems like a simple thing in order to keep immersion. No different than hair color or style, IMO.

Stadiums looking really good. I think I even saw a lot of empty seats in the top deck. Dynamic attendance?

I hope so that would be a nice touch, it would be cool, but doubt its in there is having people leave the stadium on a blow out.

NBA 2k10 has dynamic attendance, but it's just empty seats scattered around the arena. I'm waiting for 2k to have people leave during blowouts and at Land Shark Stadium the upper deck should have no fans up there.

If there is and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Nationals stadium is full.

It's supposed to come out tonight. It's only 3:25 in California though.

On Ronnie's twitter it says one of his screens were rejected. Come on 2k.

I just don't get why they wouldn't approve a screenshot.
 
# 137 jerm21 @ 01/20/10 09:07 PM
yikes.
 
# 138 ShowTyme15 @ 01/20/10 09:14 PM
This is why I take every thing Ronnie says with a grain of salt. Who runs a company like that?

Just ironic, The Show releases their franchise blog with some great updates and improvements... and 2K was supposed to have their Franchise blog, only to not do it.



I don't buy the screenshot story. It can easily be swapped or even omitted. This isn't rocket science.

I hope that's not the case, but 2k has been known to do that.
