    “We look to partner with the top emerging talent every year to assist us in shaping our MLB 2K franchise,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “Working with these seven elite players to ensure our product is up to their standards presents a fantastic opportunity for 2K Sports. These players embody the 2K Sports brand, and we are excited to work with them on Major League Baseball 2K10.”

    As part of their partnership with 2K Sports, the athletes will consult with the development team at 2K Sports’ Visual Concepts studio to provide their expertise and recommendations for how to maximize the realism of Major League Baseball 2K10 and create the most authentic pitcher–batter battle experiences.

          I wish I could afford a PS3 for the Show because I don't think even an "expert" panel can save this game.

              Man, Im still hoping for a solid title this year. Although I am a PS3 owner myself, I desperately want 2 worthwhile titles this year. I think this is 2k's last chance considering that SCEA is way ahead of the game. If 2k10 does not implement 40 man rosters, arbitration, etc. IMO they are done. It's going to take more than some of the games biggest stars for me to purchase this year. Much more.

                I don't know how much they paid these guys, but they could have taken 5 or 6 guys from the 2k forums, had them visit their studio for a few days and find out what really is needed for the game. I really don't think these pro sports stars are as rabid gamers as some of the guys here and the guys here could have meant a heck of a lot more to the game than this advertisement.

                  That would be a smart idea.

                    Couldn't have said it better Jim. I'm still holding out hope that they are just waiting to "shock" us with their new amazing features and gameplay.

                      I hope they have not planned a lot of those trailers. They have to be the most uninspiring marketing pieces I have ever seen. Where is the built up drama to make you want to purchase this?

                        How about the devs coming on here and the 2k forums and taking ideas from us the gamers ala SCEA and EA? It's that simple.

                          Not the news most people were looking for, but it's news none the less. I really hope they mo-capped these guys both Fielding, Pitching & Hitting because those animations just add to the problems this game suffers from as they are not that great & haven't been that great for a long time.

                              I think soon means the week before the game comes out.
