Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Dated, 3 Innings Phillies @ Yankees

[Steve_OS]

According to Ronnie's Twitter account, the Major League Baseball 2K10 demos have been given release dates. 360 users will see the demo on February 23rd, while the PS3 folks see it on March 4th.

It has been confirmed the demo will be 3 innings, Phillies @ Yankees.

"MLB 2K10 XBOX 360 Demo to be Released 2/23, PS3 3/4. Wanted to get that PS3 demo earlier but not on us as we got 360 ready!"

Re: Demo Details

So what does that mean?

They worked on the 360 one and got it ready, but someone else did the PS3 one?



The sentence structure is confusing.

Anyhow.

Re: Demo Details

I figured something like this would happen. Normally this is an approval issue, and this definitely isn't the first time this happened between 2K and Sony.

I wouldn't say that we can fully blame 2K for this one, but there's something about their history with Sony where they haven't found a way to change this approval process for the better.

"not on us". How about taking responsibility? I know that's a lost thing these days with these companies but yeah.

I have seen the exact same things happen with EA and others with MSFT.

Just the sentence structure through me off, and sounded like they worked on getting the 360 ready, while the other...

Yeah, I just think what he meant was that this wasn't on them, as they sent both in for approval at the same time and obviously Microsoft was okay to get the demo out the door on the alloted date. Obviously Sony wasn't quite keen on what they sent them, and probably had to go back for some type of memory optimization or something of another.

Honestly, it could just be that they don't want it to be released the same day as the demo for The Show (Sony, that is). I don't know if they're allowed to do something like that, but it could certainly be a lingering concern of theirs all the meanwhile.

Hopefully I'll have both games in my hands next week anyway, so that way the demo won't be of too much concern for me. But I can see why a lot of PS3 users can be skeptical at this point.

Well, we don't know if it was their fault. To me, when he says that it's "not on us", it sounds like they tried to get the PS3 demo out the same time as the 360, but Sony wouldn't release it till the 4th, and if that's the case, then it wouldn't be 2K's fault, so there would be no need for them to take the responsibilty for it being late, but we don't really know. It's all speculation really.

Man PS3 users sure seem to get the short end of the stick one these multi-platform titles. A shame. Looking forward to trying out the demo on the 360 though.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Sorry. Had to get that out. I wish there was a bundle for MLB 2K10 like there was for NBA 2K10, though I'd probably put the Longoria items on ebay or something.

I was hoping for a PC demo, but it does not seem the case. Maybe after the season starts.

i will ask about that, but he's at lunch atm. I think they mainly wanted to get out that the 360 and ps3 demo's are on the way.

I wonder if Sony just wanted to get their product out first. ITs a smart move by Sony. ITs something MS would do i know that. haha'

*edit* he just posted on the 2K forums that he's goign to check into a PC demo, but he's having issues with no computer right now. So i am sure that makes your work a bit harder.

Ronnie also said he doubts you can change the difficulty or slider settings.

2K knows they could have prepared the PS3 demo even earlier if they really cared about the sales on the platform.

But, whats done is done..
