Our next video (or one of the next, not 100% sure) will lay out directly 2K9 vs. 2K10. Should be quite educational on how far we've come in such a short time. Should be mid-next week sometime if things stay on track.

From Ron. I would like to see them side by side.

The overall look doesn't seem as nice as the Show but not bad. Just not a fan of the way the uniforms sit on the players. I like the camera angles - both in the field and at the plate.

I was a little concerned with Theriot getting the batter's eye on everything but I think that system could be good. I like the sounds of it and Derek Lee didn't see the pitch type on either of his first two pitches.

Some of the commentary was off - calling an 88 mph fastball gas. Calling a routine double play a "play of the week". But overall I liked the presentation from the replays to the specific stats in certain situations.

The pitch speed seems slow but so is the bat speed to compensate. I'm sure it's adjustable but it's kind of nice for a player like me. I always struggle to draw walks in video game baseball since I have to commit so soon.

I do hope they offer changing difficulty levels and sliders in the demo. Would be really nice.

Video was decent, there are definite improvements, but I'm pretty sure, after watching it twice, that I hate that batting view... it's like I'm watching through a scope... blech.

YEah from watching this I get the idea they concentrated on the pitcher and batter duels and overhauling the environments, lighting and player models. They added a ton of animations. But ironing out the fielding, baserunning and pickoff stuff might not be until next year. I can live with that though. I think the game looks extremely fun. I just tend to think the fielding and basebrunning will be a bit more arcadish. The game looks awesome to me though. I'm as excited about this game as i've been for a sports game in a while sadly enough lol.

Don't let anyone curb your enthusiasm. The series has many critics & well deserved, but if the game is fun in your eyes & you enjoy yourself while playing it that's what really matters

The numbers still look abnormal

I feel terrible for Xbox360 only owners.

ouch another step backwards.What is up with the numbers on the cubs jerseys they are way off.Did Omar Santos lose alot of weight over the winter or is that catcher his son.Also Omar is Hispanic not a white guy.The fast ball seems verrrry slow.On the foul ball in the stands nobody moves.All in all I can see why there has been very little out on this game.Personally I am going to rent it .I am happy i didn't pre order.Good Luck to those that did.

False, it lands up in the far corner of the screen, and you can see a small group of fans fighting for the ball.

Not digging the hitting view at all. Pitcher looks miles away, and takes out the whole watch the pitch from the hand scenario you do in baseball.

Ironic.

I take umbrage with this statement, which is really degrading to the game.

For one, it is only constructive to "watch the pitch from the hand" if the pitching animation is realistic. My eyes were opened after seeing the pitching motions in that Japanese game, and it was something I looked for in this 2k video. I was pretty impressed with the whip of the pitcher's arm, which makes it authentic to actually pick up the ball and try to hit it.

On this point, I was disappointed that the guess pitch text indicator obscured the ball coming out of Perez' hand. This may occur only with lefties.

I was also disappointed because it did not seem to me that the pitches missed so wide or high out of the strike zone, as that Developer Insight had indicated. Although this half-inning of CPU pitching is certainly not conclusive, I would have expected Perez to miss the strike zone by a larger margin (for example, when pitching cautiously to Lee in that tight spot).

Going to take me a while to get this one downloaded, lol.

Would be nice to know what difficulty setting he is playing on. If it's pro, then my concerns wouldn't be that big. But.....

1st batter, Santos. 1 pitch, 1 out. Chases a slider on the corner/perhaps out of the zone. That's going to be killer to pitch counts if it happens often. But, if it changes with higher difficulty settings... meh.

2nd batter, the pitcher Perez. Alleviates the above concern, a bit. Takes a belt high fastball right down central. Then takes a beautiful pitch at the knees. fouls off a bad pitch. Then goes down hacking at a good 4 seamer on the outside corner. 4 pitch AB for a weak hitting pitcher? Not bad.

3rd batter, Reyes. Takes a beauty pitch for strike 1. Swings at the next pitch.

A 7 pitch inning. Hope it's an anomaly and not the rule.

Yeah I actually think the game looks really good, other than the jersey issues. The crowd could use some work, as well as the shadowing.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Gameplay Video (Mets @ Cubs)

Really liked a lot of what I saw in the video. Graphics popped a little more than I expected; shadowing looked nice. A few rough spots w/the animations but nothing horrible. Really like the new batting view; gives a sense of the dimension of the stadium. And can likely be changed as was the case last year - just glad they came up with a new look. Happy they got rid of those rigid player animations that would occur in between innings; a lot of the realtime stuff looks really good. Player/stadium chatter was great; not a fan of the new guy in the booth but not like he was horrible. Overall looks like a definite step up from 2K9; looks like a lot of fun

Uniform numbers and helmet logos are awful.

The digital artists in most games don't seem to get that sewn-on numbers will not stretch .. they'll move with the fabric but the size will not change.

They are not ironed on, they're sewn on.

I don't know how to put it... but did you guys watch the same video I did?

everyone sounds so positive about the game and I didn't find one positive out of that video.
