Re: Will MLB 2k shock the world?
As someone who played MLB the Show for at least most of the summer, then picked up MLB2K10 when I got an itch during the playoffs last year, I think this game is a lot better than advertised. I'm still playing 2K10.
I think the pitching is great and even with what the Show is doing, the added difficulty of throwing breaking pitches is a lot more realistic than just pushing back and forth on the stick with timing.
The swing stick has been refined to become almost natural as opposed to button swinging. Now the baserunning and fielding are sketchy - but very few baseball games have been able to capture those aspects. I had Mo Vaughn playing CF with no penalty back in MVP 2005.
When I hear about dynamic hot and cold streaks and pitcher fatigue being refined, as well as injuries requiring thought to manage, I am thinking this game might actually play better than it's rival on the field. And this is someone who has played the crap out of the Show for the past 4 years.
