"The last new feature that was shown to me was also one of the coolest, provided it can be tuned properly. It's called Hurry-up Baseball"
Ummm...this was in last years game. |
Re: Hands on preview
Franchise Mode has seen a few revisions as well, though my time was mainly spent tinkering with the core gameplay. Your season now starts in spring training where you'll be charged with whittling a 40-man roster down to 25 to start the season.
I wonder if they got rid of Single A clubs. I hope not. |
Re: Hands on preview
John Kruk has been added? I think that if he can sound lively and mesh well with Thorne and Phillips, I'm all for it... but I don't know if I've ever heard him call a baseball game, I've only seen him on Baseball Tonight. :nocomprende:
I think TrevyTrev will like the defensive swing mechanic, and it sounds appropriate with the control gesture you have to do. I hope they worked on cursor hitting, though... I'd much prefer that over the swing stick if there's no left stick skill for making contact. I have no desire to play My Player mode, but I think it's kind of nice how it really wants you to progress far into it instead of playing every game, so hopefully people will post about being in their sixth year, blah blah. No real mention of a new HUD or upgrades to real time presentation (including camera angles). I don't think this is the year for me to look at renting 2K10 and at least be pleased by it, but I certainly hope that this is a playable game for 360 owners this year. Quote:

Re: Hands on preview
That was a horrible Hands on. No mention if they changed the animations. Last year all the players moved like robots together when the game was over or the end of an inning.
I could care less about the my player mode. I just to play a season without getting annoyed by all the bugs. |

I am sure you can still swing left and right, its just flicking left and right goes into a defensive swing, pulling back and going diagonal up are 2 different things. We have to see though, i just dont think this dude really had a clue about the game of baseball. |
Re: Hands on preview
Oh, and I'm concerned about the Batter's Eye thing. I always turn it off because it doesn't work realistically. In years past, we get to see where the ball is before the pitch even comes (same with The Show). As a baseball player, if you guess the correct half of the plate and the right pitch, you'll hit it hard yourself. You don't need to be told that it's coming, you just have to be set up beforehand and literally look for only that pitch. We should be rewarded ourselves for looking for that pitch, not having some pre-determined calculations take place for us, especially if they let us cheat and tell us that we're correct before the pitch actually comes in.

Come on now, Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but this is because you don't want to enjoy other games. Quote:
This guys sounds "out of touch". Quote:
That is the only letdown from these big corporate sites that are not genre focused like Operation Sports. You get the guy who isnt into sports games, hanging on to nostalgia when there is many sports games after that game just as good, if not better, doing previews/reviews. Gamespot is guilty of this too. |
