Re: MLB 2K10 Official "My Player" Thread
I just started playing this mode last friday and i am officially hooked. I've had the game since release but stopped playing because of random annoying issues in franchise and this mode never worked. I just want to say that i think this mode was a huge success and it captures baseball in a way other sports games don't because of the individual nature of hitting, and how you're only really involved in some plays.
I started as a centerfielder for the mets, and i quickly moved up in the organization's rankings. I intially hope i would be the CF of the future with beltran moving to RF, but i figured i would play RF for my first couple of seasons in the bigs. My plan was to stay in the minors long enough to be a top player in the bigs when i finally got called up so i increased everything except my players catch rating until i decided i wanted to get called up. I haven't played infield yet, but outfield was a lot of fun and even though MP had terrible arm strength i was able to play a decent CF.
I got bored eventually with AA, and also i think the game started robbing me of hits as some sort of fail safe to keep a player from being to good in AA to achieve a crap load of points easily and increased my catch rating and got called up. I found myself as the starting C for the Mets in the bigs, at which point i accidently realized i made my secondary position catcher instead of right field. I learned how to field the position almost immediately, and in my first full season after a month and a half i'm on pace for 92 homers and 223 RBI.
Rediculous numbers aside, the game has been overall lots of fun. Still, making players better defensively initially, or allowing more defensive points to be earned could make the game more fun.
Also, as a catcher i'm limited to fielding bunts, catching pop ups and fielding accidental bunts (crappy hits) and throwing to first base. I've never had to throw a guy out or block the plate, which could make the game fun. If there could be an option to play the whole game defensively instead of simming every play it might be fun for some users.
Otherwise, i was surprised at how much fun i had with this game mode, and if anything will pick up next years title just to playe it again.
