Back to your original topic, I really hope 2K gives us PS2 guys a pretty good offering. I'm going to try it out and have some hope that it's a little more than a roster update. I'm cautiously optimistic for some reason. Sarge

Hey, bw and anyone else interested,
Quick impressions of the PS2 version: Very much a roster update. AI is a bit tighter, I think. It's a bit more challenging, but not by much. No, bw, you cannot control all 30 teams. I've only gotten in about 15 innnigs so far (all on All Star, no slider adjustments)and only gave up one homer. CPU gets extra base hits. I spent alot of time the past few weeks with 2K8. This is a lot like it. Will write more over the weekend when I can get a few more games in.
If you have any questions or want me to look for something, let me know.

Thanks guys for the update. Let me know once you get the show on ps2 if it has 30 team user control. Does either game have HR Derby for ps2?

Yes, MLB 2K10 for the ps2 does have the home run derby. They also give you several options of how to play it: Traditional, Team, and I think the 3rd way is called showdown or something like that.

So I take it you can still 'control' 4 teams like the previous versions. But is there anything in there that allows you to manually make CPU team changes like lineups, transactions, etc? My goal is to keep rosters as real as possible throughout a season and it's frustrating come August when all the trades happen (in actual MLB) and you cannot control the other 26 teams rosters.

bw,
Roster control is the same as previous versions. I think you could work around it by trading guys to your team and then trading them along. Basically three team trades with your team always being in the middle. I haven't really tried that yet, but I think that's how to do it. But you still can't control the non controlled teams lineups, etc. Bigtime downer.
Ok, I got in a game last night and this morning. Here are some random thoughts:
I like it so far. I played on Legend on did not adjust sliders. Lost both games, 5-0 and 5-2. CPU still needs to take a few pitches, but not bad. My pitch counts were about 90 for 9 innings. Hit variety is not bad. Even without tweaking fielder speed, a few gappers got in. CPU has terrible baserunning logic. Maybe a slider could help. Man on third, bleeder up the middle, runner stays put. They do take extra bases appropriately. I have seen injuries. CPU pitch count is unknown - I swing at everything. I need to work the count better. Have seen no errors yet. In a nutshell, my opinion hasn't changed. It's a decent game. Not as realistic as other games, but it's a good game. Again, for my purposes, it's working so far.
I'll play again tonight and write more then. If you have anything else you want answered, please ask!
