Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Interview (ESPN)
"So Ben, with the disappointment that was 2k10 how can gamers trust 2k11 will be any better".
"Well Jon by having had two full years of development or is it six now, lol, we've been able to really get a handle on this game".Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Interview (ESPN)
Hopefully Jon got a Beta Copy & will post some more information like he does every year about his SF Franchise.
Robinson: Getting back to the gameplay, last year there were so many glitches, how did you address the A.I. concerns? Is there a new engine?
Bishop: I wouldn't say that it's a completely new engine, but there are definitely some areas that we went in and started from scratch. Fielding was a big one we pretty much redid the entire system. We put a lot more resources into just making the A.I. better. We also added more animations than we ever had before, trying to cover any situation that might come up just so it looks smoother. We have spent a lot more time polishing this year, where we didn't really have that luxury last year because everything came to us so late. This year feels much more like a natural cycle where we've not only been able to add all of these things and fill some holes, but we've had the time to really make them stand out and play the way we want them to.
Hopefully we can get Chase's write-up soon...Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Interview (ESPN)
With regards to fielding "we pretty much redid the entire system." That makes me feel a bit better about this game.
Honestly, for me, if they just fixed the crap that was wrong in 2k9 (notably, fielding, hitters swinging at everything, franchise bugs) and not introduce any other crap that breaks the game, I'd be happy. I'll deal with the chalk lines and bats left in the batter's box, I guess
But all these words are just pretty tidings until March comes. Last year, 2k9 was supposed to be great, now this year we hear about how "challenging" a project 2k9 was, but 2k10 is gonna be great. miamimarlins was dead on. Come on, 2k. I hope this year is good.Go BC Eagles!!!
Go STL Cardinals!!!
Go STL Blues!!!
Go STL Rams...please don't get Sam Bradford killed...Comment

My only hope now is that they kept the check swing in classic hitting (A button).Comment

wow. leadership 101--blame everyone else for every problem. How many times in that interview did he mention they got the game late, they didn't get full time with it, its someone elses fault it stunk,etc? Thats the head guy? This is the "leader 2k sports put their mlb franchise behind? Im sorry, but the guy needs to go to some classes or something. the excuses, regardless if they are factual or not, are pointless at this point. I'm telling you guys, just from, his answers and attitude, dont expect much from this game.
I know im going off a bit for no reason, but it angers me that these dudes are in this position and cant even man up. I want a dude running things who stands up and says "we have faultered in the past, but we cant sit here and dwell, we have to move forward. from here on out, its on me. Next question.Comment

Robinson: How many seasons can you play in My Player? Is there a draft? Bishop: You play 15 seasons, but there isn't a draft. When you start out, we wanted to give you some flexibility with your career, so when you create your player, you can select what team you want to play on.
----------------------------------------------------------
Why only 15 years? Seems too short. You get called up at 23 and are forced to retire at 38? Maybe you're sitting at 2,950 hits or 745 HR's 0r 295 wins and you're just done. Seems like a bad idea to even put a cap on it, and a horrible one to make it that short.
Completely mind boggling.Comment

I found a 15 year limit odd too.. I don't think it'll be much of a problem, but it's just strange to limit a MLB career to one set number.Comment

Wow, so 2K admits that MLB 2K9 was garbage 10 months after release and they were fully aware of that. I know its not likely, or logical, but 2K should offer some type of discount for those that ordered 2K9 directly from them. Hell, I still have my copy from Gamestop, but would vouch for those that ordered from 2K to receive some compensation.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Interview (ESPN)
I thought its used more for like say the pitcher is pounding in your cold area. You defensive swing a pitch until you get a pitch you like, strike out or walk. I have seen Manny Ramirez do this just about every at bat. You pitch him something he doesnt like, he will just foul it off until you mess up or he does.
People are so quick to jump the gun on things.
And I seen him check his swing every at bat. And every player in the game is not Manny Ramirez. So to do it with every player, and all or nothing approach is redundant. Especially when you cant check your swing on a suspenseful borderline walk or strike out.
And he isn't so super that he is fouling off pitches till he likes one, most are ones he is trying to smash and just missing solid contact. Having it separate is a band aide in a flawed hitting system IMO. Fouling off defensively should be in the regular swing button.
MLB players don't have the magic defensive swing button.Last edited by EnigmaNemesis; 01-27-2010, 12:28 AM.Ⓥ Boston Red Sox | Miami DolphinsComment
