MLB 2k10 was a good game to me. The best baseball game I have ever played, but I have only played one Show. MLB 2k10 was definitely better than any baseball game EA released in my opinion. I bring that up because you could say the last EA baseball game was 5 years ago, but thats almost the same for 2k football and I still find 3k football better than any EA football game released.
As for the passing game being a weakness. Thats not true at all. The passing game in EA's game has been a weakness. 2k nailed pass trajectories. 2k also got it right with bullet, lobs, and even touch passes. EA just has unrealistic bullets and punt-like lobs. The way the ball bounces from a tip, deflection, etc. in 2k is 10 times better than anything EA has ever done.
I know I probably sound like a huge 2k fanboy, but I'm a realistic gameplay fanboy and when it comes down to it, 2k had and still has more realistic gameplay in their football games.
As for uniform quality, I thought the baseball games were pretty good. They looked nice and realistic. As much focus as 2k has always had in the small details like uniforms quality and variety, I think they would do a good job with them. I also think they could get at least 15 stadiums in year one if not twice that. It depends how many people they have in that department. If they spend most their focus in getting the stadiums in, they could get a lot more than we think in just one year.

2k10's unis were awful. Look no further than the Atlanta Braves. Their alternate road jersey (like many teams that wear navy blue) is completely the wrong color. Their hats never matched the right uniform, and on the road alternate hat, the copy and pasted a square of a completely different shade of blue. It was sloppy, lazy, and looked terrible.
As far as passing games, 2k's felt like the QB was running in mud. It's not nearly responsive enough, WR and DB play is not good, and playing as a QB had almost an Auto-feel to it. NFL 2k5 had fantastic uniforms, there's no denying that, but recent games have, imo, fallen off in that category, while EA has done a pretty good job, for the most part.
As far as 2k10 being the best baseball game ever, I was extremely disappointed in it. Is it better than MVP 2005? Probably. MVP has become overrated over the years, much like 2k5, because of an exalted status it earned from getting shut down. But 2k10 was riddled with bugs. The fielding was atrocious, and franchise mode, as has been a trend in this serious, was a huge failure. Being a guy that plays mostly franchise mode, I've always been disappointed in 2k's efforts. 2k7 froze after the last day of the season unless there was a one game playoff. 2k8 froze for me all the time. 2k9 froze all the time before a patch, and after the patch still froze for some people. I could never get past May. And then, this year, franchise doesn't freeze, but progression is so broken that pitchers become terrible in year 3 and beyond. Not to mention the fact that there are no injuries, and errors are EXTREMELY rare. Pitching was too easy and the contact/power swing mechanic made it so that there are WAY too many singles from the CPU, and it's too easy to hit HR's using the Power Swing. It's got potential, but it is far from a good game.
Outside of the NBA series, 2k hasn't produced great sports titles in a long time. So I think it's a bit of a fantasy to think that they'll automatically produce a title year 1 or 2 that is every bit as good as the title EA has been working on for 5 years.
