When You Look At Their Other Titles, Why MLB 2K10?

IMO.... 2K is seriously on the clock to impress this year because in 2011 "The Show" should be ready to introduce their new player models which should improve every weak area of their game

Not to go over it again, but the show's player models is not the biggest problem with that game. Actually it's a minor fix compared to the fielding in that game.

Basically what I would type verbatim.

I thought 2k9 showed a lot of promise. If they improve the pitcher/batter interface, which seems to be the big focus this year, then this game should be much better. It also goes without saying that the fielding needs serious work. I believe they will address that.

I love the Show, but I always buy both as well. I hope this game makes a leap this year.

I was able to play mlb 2k9 on a freebie and it was unplayable to me as once you played the show its hard not to judge them on their own .
2k IMO really lost alot of ground when they tried to recreate the wheel each year instead of just building upon each season kinda of like what 2k nba does .
I still dont understand how the game looks worse each year mlb 2k that is but if they can just put out a average game I know I would at least try it .

I won't be able to judge the game until around the first patch.

If they have some sort of Q&A session this year, I think this will be my first question. I think it'd be great if like 25 people asked the exact same question as to show them that we are not putting up with their half truths that they dish out every year.

"As with past versions of this game, will this this years title require a major patch/title update before it is completely playable as intended?"

1. It's not a minor fix. You don't know what you're talking about.

2. Stop bringing up The Show in this forum. You seem entirely too focused on discussing it's "problems" here in the 2k forum.

I'd phrase the question differently; that just comes across as smart-azzed. I don't think any developer willingly puts out a game that needs major updates. As others have noted in the past they've been too willing to attempt to reinvent the wheel and implement new gameplay dynamics without fully exploring what they were attempting to implement previously. Granted I like right-stick pitching versus the k-zone pitching (or whatever they're called) but now the expectation is that they have both as an option and expect both to improve, for example.

I think if they attempt to refine what they have in place instead of implementing new features that would improve the overall quality of the title. I'd frame a question around that. I think it's very important for them to have the game refined as much as possible for release

If they would stop trying to make so many different types of baseball games and just focus on one maybe they could make a good product. Take all the good from the bigs, front office manager, and 2k9 instead of dividing it all up.

Especially Power Pros. How can that game have a deeper franchise and better hitting than the "sim" version, is baffling.

Well, you have a very good developer in Konami making the game. 2k just slaps their label on it.

I worded it incorectly, and "YOU" didn't understand what I was trying to say. The dude was saying that the player models is the shows biggest, and only problem, and I said he was incorrect IMO. That was all. I didn't bring up the show. My responce was towards the person who brought up the show. I understand that this is a 2k forum, and I never bring up the game in these forums, but I don't see the necessity to get all worked up about the comment.

Good point. And Konami has a great infrastructure with things borrowed from their Japanese League Yakyu Spirits game.

The hitting is darn near identical.

Maybe they should have Konami do 2K too.

If they just re-skinned that game with MLB, it would actually be something ... lol.

QFT!! I know it's not that simple, but I would love to see that also (a MLB game using the Pro Yakyuu Spirits engine).

I understand that this is a 2k forum, and I never bring up the game in these forums,

As an owner of a ps3 myself, i'm not too happy with the minor changes they made with the show. Fielding wasn't touch, so fielding is still like an RPG instead of having manual fielding. The show added lighting and things that are not major at all. The most important things were left untouched it seems for the show 10. At this point I hope 2k gives us a good game. I trully hope..

Again, please stop.

Re: When You Look At Their Other Titles, Why MLB 2K10?

Reason MLB2k10 over other titles, one because I enjoy other 2k titles and hope that they can finally bring out a good MLB product.


Also I only have an XBox 360, so I am somewhat stuck with it.

So basically it is waiting on a good suprise or bad suprise.

Re: When You Look At Their Other Titles, Why MLB 2K10?

Two areas I think showed us that 2K (meaning VC) can turn this game around is what they did with the commentary and also what they did with the "real-time" presentation. That showed a difference. It showed someone else besides Kush had their hands on the game.

The just need to get some gameplay mechanics down. Obviously, the heat is on. It's not too late to put out a quality game, but I think all eyes are on how well this game does this time around. That will tell us a lot about its future development.
