Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - Pitchers vs. Hitters Part I & II
2K Sports has posted two more Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insights today. Here is Part I, which includes gameplay video.
"My name is Sean Bailey and I am a gameplay designer on Major League Baseball® 2K10. I want to share with you a quote straight from the white board in my office. Hall of Fame pitcher Warren Spahn once said, “Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.” After winning more games than any left-handed pitcher in baseball history, Mr. Spahn is as well versed as anyone when it comes to the battle at the plate between a pitcher and a hitter. In Major League Baseball® 2K10, we have provided an experience where the gamer will really feel the benefits and challenges of upsetting timing, as Warren Spahn so eloquently put it decades ago."
Part II is right here.
"Now, I know what you are thinking… if this is so realistic, then why have I read from recent previews that there might not be a check swing in Major League Baseball® 2K10? Before we get into check-swing talk, let me clarify that the check-swing is in fact part of an upcoming patch. Pulling back on the right stick will play a check swing if you previously committed to a power swing or contact swing. Flicking up to contact swing and then pulling down will stop the contact swing. A power swing is performed by pulling down and then flicking up, as mentioned above. However, if you pull the right stick down back towards you after starting a power swing, that too will result in a check swing. This implementation of check-swinging makes it impossible to do one by accident. Pulling down on right stick = check swing. Never again will you have to ask “Why the heck did he check swing?!?!?” before contemplating launching a controller across the room. It also makes it easier to trigger when you actually want a check swing to play."Last edited by Jamin23; 02-08-2010, 04:03 PM.E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES

It may be via patch, but at least they listened to the community and are fixing their error.Comment

Re: Insight/Game Trailer Expected Today
That's good news. Now here's to hoping that they will do it in "pull-back" form with the analog stick, and not triggered by... well... the trigger (like it has in years past).
By the way, I don't know if most people would consider it a small gripe or whatever but for me it's huge... numbers are way over-sized. I know we saw this in earlier screenshots, but just to see it with this pitcher's view is just terrible. I don't know what it takes to shrink them, but that's gotta happen next year if possible.
And then a Giants nitpick: unless Pablo changed his stance during the off-season, it already looks pretty far off. Thank goodness for stance editing.

Re: Insight/Game Trailer Expected Today
With regards to the pitching in a two player game, I would assume the highlighted pitch would not show up on screen showing how to perform the pitch correct? I guess you would just have to remember the motions?“The saddest part of life is when someone who gave you your best memories becomes a memory”Comment

Yea, the number on the back of the Phillies' jersey is huge.Comment

Re: Insight/Game Trailer Expected Today
Yeah, I mentioned that in another thread. The numbers are too big and it would be nice to have authentic lettering on the jerseys.E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES
