It's definitely not my TV. When you are hitting get a little closer to your tv & tell me what you see.

Then when pitching look @ the mound & tell me what you see..

I played the DEMO in both 720p & 1080p & the jaggies are there with no noticable difference

This day and age there should be no jaggies at all, but many developers are just lazy imo.

havent played played this game since 2k8, but after playing 2k10 i can't tell if it still affects the fielder's throw based on how straight you hold the right analog stick.. does anyone kno if this is still in the game?

i enjoyed that little touch

While I agree with you.
I didn't know what I was doing with the pitch gestures and such....for 3-3 inning demos I threw all weak pitches...all aimed down the middle...by accident..I was trying to figure out why everything was weak, thinking I was doing the gesture incorrect each time....and gave up only one hit(a homerun to Ruiz)....
When I did miss the gesture..it was a wild pitch(thank God instead of a meatball)...
They swung at almost all my weak pitches regardless of location(except the wild and those WAAAY out of the zone)
...so it is a bit strange to see.
I chalk it up to the pro setting.

Maybe it has something to do with the week pitches. I was just mainly ticked at the posters that seem to take it personally when others enjoy a game. Either way..for me it seems if you pitch decent and in good locations I see no "CPU Swings at everything" problem. man I hope I can grab the games Friday!

VC is very notorious for not adding any Anti-Aliasing in there product, which is very frustrating. I mean you get 2x AA Free within the 360. Is it that hard to activate it when developing your product.

I really hope this Senior Producer that said Anti-Aliasing was in is correct

Mark Little: We made big improvements to the visual quality on the PS3 (and 360 for that matter). We definitely reduced the jaggies and sizzle in the game, but we didn't stop there. We also improved many other areas like players, lighting and overall color balance.

I think it is....because when I figured out the pitches....the CPU started taking more.

The replays when actually available in the demo are quite good. I'm very interested to see how much improved the presentation will be in the final build when all restrictions are removed.

If you think that is bad..........go without a 360 for several months and play a 2K game on the PS3 where some 3rd party developers like 2K are too lazy to fix the jaggy issue.

I have the demo d/l right now, I can't wait to check this out after hearing positive reviews.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Another stupid AI issue. I was taking a huge lead off second, and they clearly had me picked off, and I accidentally hit LT to go to third. The SS ran towards me, and then got about a foot away from me, and threw to third. I turn and go back to second, the throw comes back from third, and the SS catches the ball, doesn't tag me, and lets me just walk right back to second.

Also, sometimes the CPU baserunners on my own team are too aggressive, and other times not aggressive enough. I know I can control the latter, but if someone starts running home from third on a routine ground ball, it's too late to turn around.

Saw something just a while a go that I hadn't seen before.

I was the Yankees down 2-0 with 1 out in the bottom of the 3 inning. Brett Gardener steps up and hits a weak grounder to Chase Utely at second. As Chase fields the ball, the camera goes to a behind the back view of Utely while he throws to Howard for the out. As the ball was halfway to Ryan, the game does a slow motion thing like it does when stealing. I thought this was pretty cool.

Yea, that is cool. I have seen one form the SS to 1B. You also get this when you're a catcher making a throw to 2nd on a close play. I haven't seen any of these new camera angles from the OF though. I'm betting there are some more in there, it's like a My Player view in slow motion on close plays. It's a really good addition.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Same here. LOVE the view. Can't wait to try out My Player Mode....

Ugh...I HATE the view. I can see why some people like it (it is easy to read pitches), but man...it really makes the depth-of-field look distorted for me. No biggie though as that can be changed.

The biggest thing I took away from the demo is that it really does appear the pitcher/batter duel did indeed get some love. I had several ABs that made me get that good baseball feeling that's been lacking for so long with 2K.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

i'm not going to download the demo...i've been reading the impressions here, and i've already pre-ordered this game. i can't drop the cash on a ps3, and since i love baseball i'm gonna get this game no matter what.

i'm also guessing this demo is not the "final" build so i'll just get the game on March 2nd and I'll probably enjoy it. 2k9 was a bad game, but i could still stomach it. if 2k10 is better (which it appears it will be) i can live with that...

appreciate everyone chiming in here and providing your insights...

MK, glad to hear you are getting the game. Are you planning on doing rosters like last year?

thanks! i'm going to see what the word is regarding anyone else who has the 360. if Tomba does rosters he will do a MUCH better job than me.

I waited until the June 28th official 2k roster before i did mine...saved me a ton of CAPs. But I am looking forward to the release of this game, but I'd prefer to hold off on my roster update as I'm hoping 2k will add players that will no doubt need adding.

I'm also hoping that NYROCK will be getting this game, as his CAPs were very, very good.
