Looks like they really did a graphics overhaul this year, stadiums are beautiful!

[markprior22]

I am going to try very hard to wait on purchasing this. Everytime late Feb-early March rolls around, I can't hardly control the impulse to buy almost anything baseball related (magazines, yearbooks, etc). I really want this game to be good but I'm not counting on it.

[MizzouRah]

Demo is out! Impressions are favorably good from over at OS.

I'll download when I get home and post some impressions.

[JetsIn06]

Just finished my first game with the demo. I do have a PS3, so I won't be getting this, but 2k10 has definitely improved. Tough to say how much it's improved with just a 3-inning demo, but I walked and threw balls, which is something I rarely did at 2k9.

The overall feel is definitely better. Game runs super smooth.

So games can't get better?

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

So games can't get better?

We need to start a MizzouRah PS3 fund and save you the beating that this game delivers to you each and every year. It's painful to watch as a friend. :)

[Sun Tzu]

The 2k Baseball series has been terrible...just terrible. I'd rather play Roger Clemens Baseball on the NES.

I can easily afford a ps3 and I've bought a psp before just play The Show and honestly.. the game is boring - damn good, but boring (I'm not big on the meter pitching)

There is nothing about the ps3 that makes me want to go out and get one, not even blue ray movies. The X360 is played non-stop by my family and 99% of all my friends who play online have an X360. We do have 2 ps2's though that still get use as well as a Wii.

I like the pitching and hitting of the MLB 2k games, and it seems from early impressions they really spend time fine tuning it to work very smooth.

It took EA awhile to finally get the NHL franchise were it's at today - and I hoping 2k gets there with MLB.

If it's not, I have ootpx and puresim 2 for my baseball fix.. but like every year, I'm willing to give it a shot.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

I'd agree with that. The Show on the PSP is pretty boring.

[Sun Tzu]

Yeah, I'm gunna side with MBBF on this one. Comparing The Show on PSP to the one on PS3, is like comparing Mario World on Gameboy to the one on NES. Not only is it not a realistic comparison, it's just flat out unfair.

I did play the demo on my neighbor's ps3 and I still like the way pitching and hitting are handled in MLB 2k. Now, the rest of the MLB 2k9 game is fubared.. but to put it another way, The Show isn't so good that I want to run out and get a ps3.

I'll never play 162 games and luckily there are good baseball text sims out there - I just want something fun and I've always said, much like Madden, if it sucks.. I'll trade it in on something else.

[TroyF]

FWIW, I haven't played 162 game season on the show with a single team yet.

Now with my created player? I went through 12 full seasons last year. From the minors to 10+ years in the majors. Reminds me, I need to pull out the game sometime this week and sim myself to the hall of fame. :)

[k0ruptr]

it is all we 360 folks have, and I do like the look this year, and I heard they are introducing a career mode similar to the show's mode. I'm sure it won't be nearly as cool or good, but its the right direction, so that helps. I will most likely be picking it up. Cause its either that or no realistic baseball at all.

[DanGarion]

I'll never play 162 games

What? You don't have the time to play 162 games? Or even a career for that matter?!?!?!?

[heybrad]

I've played them both and strangely enough they haven't got nearly the amount of time that I put into MLB Power Pros.

Maybe I'm weird.

[sooner333]

Question: Which one of these games is more like MVP Baseball (with Manny Ramirez). I loved that game for Xbox and just want to play something as fun as that.

[Sun Tzu]

Hey Brad.

[RainMaker]

Those stadiums look really sharp. They may have The Show beat when it comes to Wrigley (which is actually poorly done in The Show).

[k0ruptr]

Some impressions of the demo: I haven't played the 2k series for baseball since 2k5. So I haven't been through the rough period most have. Anyway, I truly enjoyed the demo. Graphics are real real sharp (not that I really care much, but its nice to see) and as far as the pitching and hitting mechanisms, I really like them. its awesome. As far as I can tell, I think I will really enjoy playing the game on my 360. Hopefully there are no horrible bugs, but I had a fun game of baseball with the demo. I pitched well as Pettite from the yanks allowing a double to utley and a triple to victorino in 3 innings. had 2 k's . At bat I had a single with Jeter, and a Solo Homer from Arod. (that was cool!) I walked once and K'd twice. All in all pretty realistic, but small sample size. Still had a fun time with the 1 game I've played so far. Looking forward to picking up this game on release day now.

[JetsIn06]

One thing I noticed...I'd like to know if you all agree. Those pictures make the stadiums look great. But in the demo, Yankee Stadium looks terrible.

[DaddyTorgo]

i might enjoy it, unfortunately 2k are in my shit-house because they STILL haven't released a pc-patch for NBA

[k0ruptr]

One thing I noticed...I'd like to know if you all agree. Those pictures make the stadiums look great. But in the demo, Yankee Stadium looks terrible.

I didn't think it looked terrible, but it didn't look as good as it could of. but still pretty damn good i thought.

[MizzouRah]

I thought Yankee stadium looked just fine, in fact the game as a whole looks great.

It's the pitching and hitting that really makes me love that part of this series. Pitching is harder, but works just like they intended it too - much tighter this year.

Game runs very smooth... in all, I like what I see thus far - it's only a demo, so I'll put the real game through paces when I get back from Jupiter, Florida.

[CraigSca]

From what I'm reading, it looks like 2K10 has pre-10 Show disease when it comes to doubles. No balls hit over the outfielders heads nor shots down the line that rattle in the corner for doubles.

[Terps]

Hopefully an outfielder speed slider can fix that.

still semi optimistic for this. really want to pick this up tomorrow.

[DaddyTorgo]

i might pick it up if they'd fucking put out a single patch for nba2k10 for PC. but if they won't they're not getting another dollar from me. fuck them.

MLB Today... wow...

Major League Baseball 2K10 Video: MLB Today (http://www.operationsports.com/videoview.php?id=608)

[Terps]

Early impressions over on OS are positive. Only big negative so far seems to be the fielders arms are too strong. Hopefully 2K can fix this either with a patch or a roster update.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Pretty good impression listing here since there hasn't been much. Seems like there's more posts about the lack of impressions than anything else.

CPU pitchers vs human batters are nice. They pitch to you very well and mix up pitches and locations.

Presentation is good. I hit a walkoff home run with Brad Hawpe and the game immediately cut to a different camera angle as soon as I swung to show it in all it's glory.

CPU batters still seem much too aggressive. I read they said the walk ratings in the IE screens are wrong, but I don't think so.

Pinpoint pitching remains. You can still hit your spots time after time, even with a tired pitcher. Your pitcher being rattled is the only time you will have a problem throwing strikes.

The pitching fatigue slider seems to only work for your pitcher, the CPU pitcher seems unaffected. And because of this they seem to be able to throw all night w/o getting tired. Twice I worked the opposing starter to over 120 pitches by the 7th inning and they remained in the game. This was while I set the fatigue slider to 70 and my pitcher was tired after 60 pitches. Bad.

Also bad, pitcher's fielding. They hoover up everything hit to them up the middle, and yet...worst of all....they are horrible at covering first base. I mean really horrible to the point it can ruin the game. One game I played, the pitcher screwed up 4-5 times covering first base. They don't get there fast enough and you wind up racing the runner to the bag. In most cases, the pitcher tried to tag the runner which caused him to stop instead...missing the runner completely. It might be possible you need to wait for him to reach first base before you throw, but you can't see the pitcher from the camera view so you don't know when he's there.

Rocket arms. Fixable maybe with updated rosters?

Player of the game is hit and miss. Sometimes it's appropriate, and other times it makes no sense. Same with the Top 3 Plays. The game I hit the walk off, that was #1, but another game, the #1 play was Tulo making a routine play on a ground ball.

Animations need some work. Even stuff like rounding first to goto second can look jerky and disjointed.

I saw the CF make maybe the worst gaff I've seen in a baseball video game. I hit a high fly to deep CF with Tulo, and the CF tracked back and should've settled under the ball easily.....BUT! Instead he turned his back to the ball and just stood there. And as I waited to see what would happen....the LF comes out of nowhere and makes a diving catch! Bad x2.

Overall...disappointing, sort of. It's better than 2K9, but there were so many small things that don't seem to work right that it distracts you from enjoying what could be a fun game. If 2K is able to patch some things this game could be worthwhile and enjoyable....worth waiting a month or two and see what happens and maybe pick this one up used.

[MizzouRah]

Who stole MBBF's logon credentials?

[RainMaker]

If I was the developer of this game, I would set it up so that with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th of a perfect game, the computer would always hit a slow roller and barely beat it out.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'd set it up with a "bug" where Ben Davis would magically become the batter in the 8th inning of a perfect game.

[GoldenEagle]

Good news.

[Terps]

Played a few games tonight. Really liking it so far. Only downside I have right now is the strength of the OF arms, but I'm hoping that will be fixed.

I turned the OF Speed Slider to 0, and I'm seeing a good variety of hits. Doubles in the gap, down the line, bloopers over the infield (I use classic hitting, no swing stick for me.) Just won an extra inning game against Detroit in 11, had 2 HR's with Reimold, and a 3-run shot by Wieters. Just a press of the A button on all 3 HR's, no using the left stick to influence.

Commentary and presentation is top notch. Love all the stats and splits. MLB Today is awesome.

Simmed a season, Phillies won the World Series against the Tigers. The Tigers really got hot in August and came from 12 games down to win the division. No weird trades or anything. CPU offered me trades 1-2 times a month, but I declined all of them to just quick sim. But none involved superstar players.

Sim stats weren't out of line at all. Would have liked to see more marquee players leading the categories, but I'll have to check this out a few more times.

Some people on OS mentioned a bug where a reliever would come in and be listed at a position other than pitcher, but any reliever I brought in was listed correctly.

There is no foul ball slider in the game, and IMO, it doesn't need one. I saw plenty of foul balls. A few 8-9-10 pitch AB's with me or the AI fighting them off.

Just some random thoughts. Definitely a big improvement over the past, and a solid title to pick up as a 360 baseball fan.

[SegRat]

I picked up the game today, and only got to play 3 innings. What little I played it was fun and an improvement from 09.

Awesome! Can't wait to play it when I get back from vacation.

[Terps]

I play on Pro defaults right now other than the fielder speed turned down, and the pitch meter slider maxed since I play on classic. Classic hitting and pitching, I'm not a fan of right stick mechanics.

Pitch counts are good. The AI doesn't swing at everything. I walked a few batters, and hit a few when I messed up on my pitch meter. I got up to over 70 pitches in the 5th with Matusz, and had the AI over 80 in the same time.

I hit a 2 run homer with Luke Scott and the AI pitched around him the next time he came up, and walked him.

I said this earlier but the MLB Today is awesome. I simmed to a game late in the season, and there's so many stats and overlays about what's going on in your season, with appropriate commentary. Players/teams leading in different categories, the wild card race, division standings, talking about how the players performed last night or even in the last week.

I read about another bug where the player of the game is usually someone that shouldn't win it, but I've not encountered this one either. All the games I played the player was deserving. Reimold was 3-4 with 2 HR, he was the player of the game. Luke Scott had a RBI double and a eventual game winning homer, and he won it.

I don't think there's any warnings or ejections from beanballs, because I hit a few guys, and the AI got revenge, but didn't see as much as a warning for any of them.

The 2K devs are also looking for patch feedback over on their forums, so hopefully the issue with the laser arms gets fixed. He said they're shooting for mid-April.

[DaddyTorgo]

fuck the 2k devs...the shitheads still haven't released a PC patch for nba2k10...despite saying that they were bundling the 2 console patches for pc into one and that's why they were waiting.

OS review is up. Sounds like some improvement, though author does note that last year's debacle probably enhances his good feelings about this version.

[MizzouRah]

I'm having a great time so far with the game.

[Comey]

I will be getting this when I get my new laptop. Looking forward to it. The PC review I read said that the PC version is actually the best version of this year's game (if you have the resources, which my new laptop will).

[Balldog]

Is there a manager mode (coach mode) in this game?

I'm curious too. Anyone?

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Didn't see this mentioned. Bill Abner is doing a series of posts about the game.

I'm definitely NOT!

Still baffles me that he takes time out of his day to read anything about MLB 2k10, but I'm sure his eyes light up when he reads things that are wrong.

There is a patch in the works though and I think submitted to microsoft.

Yeah I think you have been pretty fair lately. I did have you on my ignore list for a while, way back when, but now you're not so bad.

My post wasn't a slight towards you at all, which I think is how Mizzou took it, but just a joke that in the past you use to base your opinions on games (that you may or may not have played) on Bill Abners reviews.

[MizzouRah]

My issue is he will never pick up a copy since he has a ps3 and The Show.. so why post anything? Is he just being nice and keeping us up to date on the talk from someone like Bill?

I guess I just don't get it...

[Qrusher14242]

looks like the patch is only for 360, sucks to be on pc :(

[Comey]

So are they not doing a PC patch? Is this a NBA2k10 situation all over again?

Maybe I won't buy it. Sigh.

[DaddyTorgo]

i'm not buying it until they release a pc patch for nba2k10 and for mlb2k10. then i might consider it. fuckholes.

[Comey]

I could actually get it just for the graphics, which would help for the rather large promotion/relegation league I'm starting with OOTPXI at TSW. /plug

[MizzouRah]

Pitched a shutout with Adam Wainwright last night.. quite satisfying.

Matt Holliday hit a 2 run HR and added another RBI as we beat the Red Sox 4-0.

The hit variery is outstanding!

[Terps]

Looks like the patch should be out by tomorrow morning sometime for 360 owners. Pretty big fix list. MLB 2K10 Patch Notes - 360 to be released 3/16 before 5 AM PST per MS - 2K Sports Forums (http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=260152) Pretty excited. Says the next patch should be out by end of April..

Check swings and pitcher fatigue issue will be fixed in tomorrow's patch. No more playing my player and seeing the opposing starting pitcher have 140 pitches against me.

[MizzouRah]

Great news!

[MizzouRah]

Patch is live!

[Pumpy Tudors]

I've been thinking about buying this. My only concern is that the fielding issues I've read about (rocket arms in the outfield and no hits getting through the infield) aren't addressed in this first patch. Perhaps I should just wait until after the second patch comes out next month, but I'd really like to play some baseball.

Any other thoughts on this game?

[k0ruptr]

Online is really hard to hit. But still fun. There is a lot of things that need help but overall the game is still tons of fun

[k0ruptr]

dola, i was wondering though if anyone knows of good sliders for playing, and for simming. two sets is fine, i just havent got mine tuned yet and would rather just download some.

[MizzouRah]

Game is a blast..

[DaddyTorgo]

i just DLed the game last night - by the time it was priced down and downloaded it was like 1:30am so I only got to play like 6 innings. I think I get hitting (although working the left and right sticks together i'll have to get used to). I can hit balls out to the warning track and get basehits, so that's okay.

but for fuck's sake can someone explain how pitching works? Say I'm going to throw a fastball so it's "down then up." I select my pitch, select the target spot, then push the right stick down and move it smoothly up? How come when I do that sometimes I get the yellow circle that narrows in (which is a positive - those seem to be close to "perfect pitches") and sometimes I get "bad gesture?" Even on something as simple as a fastball. Don't get me started on a 12-6 curveball - I only managed to throw like 2-3 of those with good gestures last night.

The manual isn't really a help (surprise surprise), so I'm hoping some of my fellow players can be. Otherwise I guess I can turn on classic hitting and pitching.

Gamestop has the digital download for $2.99, for Opening Day.

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=76509

Have this for the 360, but can't hurt to pick it up for the PC too, especially just for all the work the modders do on the game.

Yep. Picked it up last night. If someone's gonna pick it up, they should help 21c out and get one for him and gift it to him since he can't DL it from Australia.

[Terps]

If he wants to send me a PM, I'll do it for him.

[gi]

Just got it for the nice opening day price

[Tasan]

I'm a little bummed that Steam didn't match the deal, but I went ahead and got it from Gamestop. Heck, for only 3 bucks, I may get it later from Steam when it sells for $15 or less.

[CleBrownsfan]

How 2k10 for simming games? For $3 I'm going to get just to say I got it for $3 ;)

[DaddyTorgo]

i'm going to have to work on my pitching tonight. and help out 21c with getting it and gifting it to him in australia.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I hope this deal is still live when I get home from work in an hour and a half. I am making the assumption that it'll still be live, but you know what happens when you make an assumption.

Edit: Or if you don't know, you end up making an ass out of "u" and "mption."

Damn it - tried at least 10 times and keeps rejecting both my credit cards along with another couple of random errors thrown in every now and then. Might try in a couple of hours, otherwise I'll be pissed to miss out on it.

it's doing the same to me bhlloy. it did it to me a couple times last night too.

submit a support request talking about it and mentioning the 2.99 price, at best maybe if they don't fix it they'll honor the price...

[21C]

Is anyone able to buy the game for me? I will pay you via paypal but I can't make the purchase from Australia.

DT has been trying for me but there may have been issues with the Limit 1 per household. So I'm hoping for someone that hasn't bought the game through the Gamestop download.

[DaddyTorgo]

ohhh see - nobody told me that you have to move the right stick for one of the arrows and the left stick for the other!!! now i can fucking pitch...better...not great though

Not trying to rub it in or anything, but the system took my credit card on the first try, and I'm downloading the game right now.

I just saved a bunch on my car insurance, so fuck you. amiright?

[sovereignstar]

Is anyone able to buy the game for me? I will pay you via paypal but I can't make the purchase from Australia.

DT has been trying for me but there may have been issues with the Limit 1 per household. So I'm hoping for someone that hasn't bought the game through the Gamestop download.

PM me if no one has offered yet.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Well, my point was that the system was working, but maybe it's just an intermittent thing, so keep trying.

Didn't think I had to spell it out that clearly, but internet.

[SirFozzie]

At least on the 360 the game play is VERY different online compared to the regular game.. have to decide a LOT sooner to swing.. took me and Hipocrite 7-8 innings to figure out the timing (I won 1-0 in 12, but every inning after the 8th we both had runners on)

[sovereignstar]

lol

I either use too many smileys or way too few. Was totally joking.

Done.

Now you're crossing half the line.

Damn it - tried at least 10 times and keeps rejecting both my credit cards along with another couple of random errors thrown in every now and then. Might try in a couple of hours, otherwise I'll be pissed to miss out on it.

This was happening to me too - each time it actually was sending a charge to my cards, just not registering on the system. I found this out when an Amazon purchase was denied because my charge had been temporarily locked for suspicious activity (multiple 2.99 charges). So if you were getting card errors, I'd check to see if they were actually going through. Still no game in the game purchased history for me, though :(

[DaddyTorgo]

okay...so can someone explain the two-stick pitching system? what do i do with the left stick and what do i do with the right? i thought i had it, but i'm still kinda confused i guess

[SirFozzie]

If it's like the 360:
Left stick aims where you want to throw the ball (note: this is where the pitch will ORIGINALLY head, before any break is figured).

Right stick does the motion for the pitch

Hmmm, mine seemingly went smooth, but I immediately got an e-mail from Capital One telling me to call them. lol

okay. and what controls how much power goes into the pitch? why do i keep getting these "bad gesture" things? does that mean my motion for the pitch is totally messed up?

thanks mizzou!

the manual is slightly helpful, but not great. that walkthrough made shit a lot clearer!

[mckerney]

Bought the GameStop deal and tried it out and I really can't see myself playing it when I have The Show. I absolutely hate the gestures based pitching, it's like they took the annoying QTEs that I can deal with when they're in the middle of Uncharted and decided to build a game around them.

It also didn't help that they kept the same abysmal UI that's in NBA 2k10 that they made no effort to port to PC.

[bhlloy]

Still crashing out. Very convenient timing for Gamestop. Wonder if they had some kind of quota they could/were willing to sell up to and then these mysterious errors start happening...

Either way, I'm sure they won't be crying about missing out on my $2.99 but it has ensured I'll never do business with them online again. Complete clusterfuck. If only Steam had the same deal.

[CleBrownsfan]

yep - i have multiple pending charges on my account too...

me too :rant:

[DaddyTorgo]

me too :rant:

good thing i looked though - i also noticed i have a $14 charge from a chicago cab pending...and yet i haven't been in chicago in months...:rant::rant::rant:SHADY SONS OF BITCHES!!!

[21C]

I'd like to publicly thank DaddyTorgo and sovereignstar for all of their efforts in trying to help me get the game. sov finally got the purchase done but I was still locked out from the download due to being outside the US.

It was much appreciated.

[bhlloy]

mofo - they had better sort this shit out. what a fricking joke. welcome to the late 20th century gamestop.

what makes it 10x worse is I tried using my wife's account when mine failed the first couple of times. anyone here know if it's possible to fudge a bank statement?

[sovereignstar]

So do you or do you not have the game yet? My generosity has no limits.

I can send you my gift download that was so hastily "returned" to me. ;)

[bhlloy]

still don't have the game, I did send a message to their customer support (who I'm sure if they are still there are shitting bricks by now from all the pissed off people seeing 15 charges on their cards lol)

If 21C really can't get it from down under and you don't have anyone else to give it to, that would be very nice of you. I'll paypal you if you have an account.

[sovereignstar]

sending PM

i'm going to anally rape them with a baseball bat studded with razor blades

[DaddyTorgo]

another question - how come sometimes i have the two circles collapsing into one (grey + gold) when pitching, and sometimes it seems like i just have the gold ones (and on those i can't reach full power)?

[JetsIn06]

Just downloaded from Gamestop. My first game, I was being no-hit by Liriano. In the 8th inning with two outs, the Twins up by two runs, he's taken out of the game.

Did you expect more in that requard in a console game? Heck, I think Puresim even does that from time to time. ;)

[DaddyTorgo]

okay - more pitching help: i seem to constantly get the "overthrown" message and only 81% of my power. That'd mean I'm holding it just a bit too long, right? That and my gesture-making is still not great I have to admit...

[Apathetic Lurker]

bastards charged me twice and wouldnt let me download......

[DaddyTorgo]

assholes...wtf?

i'm going to have a field day with bank of america disputing all those charges i'm sure

[SirFozzie]

DT: For the pitching, here's the tip:

You should FINISH the motion right when it hits the circle (let's take the screwball for example, which is left-downleft-down-down-right-right, I believe)

You make the first part of the motion (to the left), hold for a split second, and run the rest of the command in a smooth motion, finishing up at right, hopefully when the meter is at max.

Same with a simpler pitch.. fastball (down-up). Press down.. wait for the meter to fill, and move up, finishing when the meter hits max.

Of course, as you tire, the window for inputting the commands lessens...

[DaddyTorgo]

ohhhhh

motherfuck. i've been making the first part of the motion and holding it until it hits the circle then rushing the rest!!

no wonder i overthrow all the time!!

thanks SF!!!

on the plus side, as i play quick games to try to learn the controls better - i just hit my first grandslam with victor martinez down the LF line over the monster earlier in this game

[Terps]

The 2nd 360 patch and combined 1st & 2nd patch for PS3 were submitted to QA. No word on the PC though.

To celebrate, here's a 1st inning 3 run shot I just hit with LUUUUUUUUUUKE:

2K Sports (http://community.2ksports.com/community/media/viewer.cfm?mediaid=1738447)

[DaddyTorgo]

I've seen the 2k guys say that the PC patch may end up being similar to the patch for nba 2k10, in that it'll be a combination of multiple console patches.

which frankly, is fucking annoying and pretty ridiculous. but i knew that before i bought the game (did my homework), and i wouldn't have paid more than $2.99 to have the game now and have to wait for the patch, because I'd just feel ripped-off. But since I only paid the $2.99 for it, I still feel like I got a good deal, even though there may be issues with it.

[DaddyTorgo]

Hey guys,
Dev has confirmed to me that there will be a PC Patch for MLB. If any of you have been noticing the long process that is involved with the NBA PC Patch, it will lag behind the console patches and then go through a rigorous QA and Digital Distribution cycle. But least I can confirm that there will be one.

The PS3 patch will be a combination of the past 360 patch and future one. Read into that what you will. Thanks.

Ronnie


was the forum post about it<!-- / message -->

[MizzouRah]

Patch is our for x360.. pitching is harder.. fielders speed has been toned down, etc..

[Terps]

Good to see they finally fixed the editing limit somewhat. Now, you can name more than 150 names. It also doesn't count against the limit if it's a name in the database already.
