    Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Preview (Gamepro)

    As for the slight bicker about lack of gameplay videos, here's how I see it from some people's perspective... if they can't get out gameplay videos before SCEA releases a demo for The Show, PS3 users are going to have a hard time convincing themselves about having 2K as a single or second game on their shelf. They kind of need that persuasion before another game locks them up the rest of the way through, especially if they pre-order as a result.

    The only thing that I worry about is that they're simply not ready to release this game yet (working countless hours in the home stretch to get what they wanted to get in), or that this is another 2K8 where there's nothing they're proud of showing. I really doubt that's the case by seeing the previews, but these previewers probably don't look for the same thing in baseball games as I do. What do I mean by that? Well so far Chase is still the only one to mention the lack of a check swing. What else have other previewers been hiding? There is still so much to figure out about this game, and we'll only get that either by seeing gameplay videos, playing the demo, reading impressions, or playing retail. Until then, we're left guessing while The Show piles on more and more media with an impending demo possibly within the week.

      I do think it's odd to wait so long to show videos though... it really does make it seem like 2K is "hiding" something, whether they actually are or not.

      One would just think that after how poor last year's effort was, they would want to show the improvements as soon as possible.
      I agree it sucks the way 2k does their stuff, but they do the same for the nba series as well, and that's their bread and butter.
      NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

            Fans of Franchise Mode have much to be excited about as well. Between the addition of a 40-man roster, rehab assignments, compensation draft picks and a revamped trade block, players should experience the most in depth mode the series has ever offered. And like NBA 2K10, players will now have the ability to announce their accolades to the world via their own 2K hosted blog. Write your own posts, upload highlight clips or scores, and broadcast it on your Facebook or Twitter account.
            ^This is such great news. Depth in franchise mode is a MUST. I just hope they've fixed the issues w/ player contracts, team budgets, and free agency.

              I think 2K may have removed Ron's checkswing as well... that guy seems to swing and miss on a daily basis

                  I am trying to accept this game because I only have 360 and would love to have a baseball game, but I am finding it hard to accept

                    I'm guess I am one of the few patient people left. People can cry all day about the lack of game play videos, the fact is they aren't out and all of the previews so far have been very positive. If my memory serves me correctly it wasn't this way last year. I like what I have been reading and I'm very excited for 2k baseball this year.

                      What's even more frustrating about the lack of gameplay vids is that goofy "Keep Longo from going Longo" promo they've been showing for almost 2 months now. I've been watching the Caribbean World Series and they run this dreck almost every commercial break, without any new additions. C'mon!!!

                        Gameplay videos will only show you how good the graphics and animations are. They don't show you outfielders not being able to pick up a ball against the fence, or tags going through players and not being called out.

                          What's the difference between seeing gameplay videos 4 weeks before release or 1 or 2 weeks before release? I'd rather they be working hard at getting the demo released than just seeing the videos.

                            On twitter or someplace Ron said they were waiting to show gameplay videos because "then what's left then except for the demo?"

                            So, I guess the marketing strategy is to only show one video, and wait for it to be released close to the date......

                            Someone should tell them that a video capture card isn't a single use item...........
