MLB 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
Baseball season is just around the corner (we are just a week away from Spring Training games!), and 2K Sports has been hard at work on its latest hardball offering, MLB 2K10. Operation Sports recently previewed the game, and now the masses (at least on the 360) will be getting their hands on the demo tomorrow. In other words, with just a few short weeks until release, it is now time for a What's Hot/What's Not feature. So what has got me excited about MLB 2K10, and what has me scratching my head? Read on to find out.

Re: MLB 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
Good analysis. I'm just waiting to give this game another try again. I own both systems and both games but I can't help but admit that I am a 2K fan stemming from the days of Dreamcast. I just want them to make a great baseball game because I enjoyed their basketball and football games for so many years.
Can't wait to use the MLB Today feature and even My Player.Yankees & Nationals - The American Way!Comment

Every year, with all sports titles, I worry that what the producers/developers say is going to be in the game, usually isn't the case. Frame-rate issues with MLB 2K10 is a valid concern, as you mentioned with their track record. I do expect better graphics and presentation from one year to the next. I believe that graphics and gameplay are equally important in determining my joy while playing video games. Reason being, I've played video games since the late seventies, so I've seen generic graphics evolve into amazing graphics on the current systems as well as the PC. So, to not have good graphics just shows laziness to me.
So, with that said, I hope MLB 2K10 has amazing graphics, smooth frame-rate, enjoyable gameplay and a few other surprise bells and whistles. That's all I ask for. I tried MLB the Show the past two years and while the graphics/presentation is amazing, the gameplay seemed way off to me. Batters hardly ever swing at a pitch off the plate, too many pitches hitting the strike zone were called balls and the announcers would always say, "Don't know where that one missed!". And it seemed the computer would ALWAYS score early inning runs and late inning runs, as needed, in a close game. It had to be the most frustrating sports video game I've played in a very long time. Not sure if I'll try MLB the Show10 again this year or just go back to MLB2K10. I will certainly be reading the reviews this year and waiting a few weeks to see what average gamers are saying about each game.Comment

Everything we have heard is the framerate is good this year at least from Game Informer.Comment

I completely abandoned 2K9. I rented it and loved the simplified gesture pitching, but hated everything else. It was quite literally unplayable. I still play 2K8, but would be lying if I said I didn't have high expectations for 2K10. I don't expect it to be a great game, but I expect it to be miles better than 2K9, and have way less problems. It'd be nice to play a baseball sim on the 360 that didn't require a patch to enjoy it, you know?Comment

I would say frame rate and overall game AI would be my two concerns at this point. We have been promised a smooth 60 FPS since 2k7 but to date we still have not had it.“The saddest part of life is when someone who gave you your best memories becomes a memory”Comment

When Chris previewed the game it was still being finished. Optimization (Getting the game to run smoothly) is always the last thing done. Andrew Reiner from Game Informer has said the game is running very smoothly as he had a finished copy during his running blog of the game @ GI.Comment

Re: MLB 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
I dont expect the framerate to be a solid 60 at all times, but as long as it doesnt slow down like it did when you hit pop flies in 2K9 towards the foul lines then its fine.
There will always be periods of times where that slows down, but as long as it doesnt dip into a slide show then all should be well.Last edited by kcxiv; 02-22-2010, 01:43 PM.Comment

Re: MLB 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
hmmmm, I thought the online play was very good last year. The lag wasn't bad at all, and playing online actually bypassed alot of the game's problems (such as the AI issues).
2K8 on the other hand was simply unplayable online. But 2K9's multiplayer was like night and day compared to 2K8.Comment
