    Re: Kotaku Preview

    Read the article...sounds promising. All I want is simulation baseball - hopefully this game is getting closer to that. No doubt we'll be playing with sliders, but if the major glitches are gone (ie. too many strikes thrown, outfielders dropping fly balls) and we have more freedom to edit players, i'm liking what i'm hearing.

      I have a PS3 and it's not about either platform it's about baseball.
      I love Chocolate Ice cream but once in a while I have to try Pistachio...I'm hoping for 2 great baseball games in 2010 and it looks very promising!

        The article sounds good.. I just played a few games of my season in MLB The Show '09 and I realized I'm still not over the realism in that game, BUT.. I'm lookin' forward to seeing what MLB 2K10 is gonna be like.. People say that 2K Sports doesn't owe us anything, but come on, after MLB 2K9, I'd say they owe use a decent MLB video game.

          I think part of the greatness of MLB The Show is that it has no limits being on the PS3. That is, games like this, Uncharted 2, GT5, MGS4, Little Big Planet, etc. couldn't be made on Xbox, mostly because of the way that it's made and how much content is put on the disc.

          That being said, you wouldn't wish it was on 360, because it probably wouldn't be all that it is now.

            I wish the 360 was as powerful as the PS3 so than we could enjoy the show too.

              Good read. Unlike the IGN and Gamespot previews, it sounds like this guy knows what he's talking about and actually plays baseball games. So for him to speak positive about this game is a good sign, especially since he was well aware of 2K9's flaws.

                No way in the world this game competes with "The Show".

                    Both statements are incorrect, but this isn't the place to discuss, keep the conversations on topic please.

                      There's nothing "incorrect" about the second statement. It's a "wish" followed by a fact.

                      Just saying.

                          Not particularly deep at all (especially on game play, but that's typical for these types of quick rundowns), but I liked what I read about a couple of areas of concern for me:

                          1. The more I read about changing the pitch selection to the face buttons, the more I think I like it. This description best summed up my hopes. Selecting the pitch first will take away the ambiguity of what's being thrown. Now, in theory, missed gestures are supposed to affect effectiveness, which is exactly how it should be. It was encouraging to see the mention of accuracy being less pinpoint and seeing more walks thrown.

                          2. Ignoring for a moment the obvious check-swing omission we've all been debating, the hitting system sounds like it's much more responsive (I actually like that he found it twitchy at first...it suggests its "loose" which is far better than the delayed input reaction from the last few, IMO). Also love how influence seems to be a lot less powered up and more of a gentle push, so to speak. My only other concern would be just how effective the DSM will be. Hopefully it's ratings based and not too effective. Too early to worry about it of course, but it's something to watch for.

                          3. A small thing by comparison to the first two, but it's encouraging to see the pitch speeds appear to be ramped up. I always felt the ball seemed like it almost floated to the plate. The fact that they upped that and still focused on the drawing of walks through other means is also encouraging.
                          Good observations. I'm anxious to see how the pitching turns out as well, since the accuracy issue has been a pet peeve of mine over the last couple years. I'm glad to hear the gesture analyzer is back in this year too.

                            What was the other year that the gesture analyzer was in the game? I cannot recall at the moment.

                                I'm really looking forward to the seeing the animations, especially at the plate.
                                Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.
