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

I really can't hate on 2k. I hope the PC version of the game has all the glitches ironed out.

Quick question after playing a few more games and experiencing the same issue (swing stick lag).....

Is it possible that a larger tv screen could cause lag?

Could it be the game itself?

It's just weird. I want to swing, but there's a noticeable (and game-killing) pause before the swing. The result is that I'm late on 80 mph changeups and lucky to make very late contact on fastballs. I try jumping the pitch and the same result. any thoughts?

I just scored 10 runs off Joba in 1 1/3 innings before they pulled him and put Hughes in. I thought that was a bit weird.

Some HDTVs do have input lag, so it sounds like that's what you're experiencing. Check and see if your TV has a "game mode" for your input you're using for the 360 because that usually helps.

I haven't noticed any lag on the swings, so there's a good chance it's your TV lagging a little bit.

my only concern is I'm seeing way too many push or sprayed hits and not enough pulls ... Most hits and hitters pull the ball a lot more in real life (and almost always pull the majority of the time)

i have to say that, while im a big fan of the show, i did download the 2k10 demo because above all else, im a baseball fan and i was curious to see what 2K was doing with this game. after playing a few games, i must admit that i was starting to really enjoy the analog pitching. it feels like you're really in control of your pitches.

I've seen alot of positive comments about the game and it seems that 2K is getting things going in the right direction which to me is the most important thing. As a consumer, having some good competition between the two games can only benefit us, no matter which game you buy

Is this across the board or just on the user's end? I found that too at first, then realized because I wasn't used to the view (which I still don't like) I was late on a lot of pitches.

More recently (as I adjusted), I found it to be about right. As for the AI, they seemed to hit to all fields in a fairly realistic manner from the beginning.

yeah it's just on my end.

I could be late, but it's weird because it was only on contact swings. It seemed like any contact swing was going the other way and close to the foul line. I know I can force a pull, meh....seeing the my player video sold me on this though it looks like a lot of fun.

I'm even calling around looking for it early.
