I think they already confirmed you can.

I hear what you're sayin', but you gotta consider something else when it comes to realism. I'd like to see tailing line drives, choppers, unforced walks, and everything else that should be in a MLB video game physics engine by now but wasn't in 2K9. To me, that adds the most realism.

I agree, i mean that was what i found boring besides the wonky animations and glitches that made you sat WTF?, i mean there was a good variety of hits, but i want more variety like the ones you had listed. And for the LOVE OF GOD fix Accuracy and outfield arm Strength. good god have they ever watched a baseball game.

I don't mean to get on your case, but you didn't even understand how contact hitting will work on the right analog stick when you made the video. My point being that you're jumping to conclusions (or at least making heavy criticisms) before you even see the gameplay.

We don't even know how the batter's eye will work at this point. Yet you're sounding like they've already failed implementing batter's eye. Wait for some gameplay - who knows?

yea ur right. ive seen choppers in 2k9 ( only like 3 or 4 times though), and chase said that his first double was a line drive that had alot of speed on it. im hoping up forced walks do play a role in this game

This I agree with completely. It was this that made me throw in the towel. People were talking about and even posting videos with issues that did happen, but it was very rare. However, the above would always happen. Hitting did not have depth. Pitching was a hassle (when pitching to the CPU).

That's where this game failed so badly. Now, look at the previews we have seen so far. Nobody talks about how the game represents baseball (outside of Chase's). It's all about pitching and hitting schemes, stadium makeovers. Very shallow if you ask me.

I tried pretty hard last year to overlook the CPU's tendency to swing at every single strike. Eventually you have to give in and say, "This just isn't right."

I never cease to be amazed at how much over-analyzing is done on game play features from a handful of pictures. I'll just say this, visually, the pics (as usual) were hit and miss. I agree that Yankee Stadium was mostly a miss. I did think (just looking at appearance, and putting analyzation of physics, home run tendency, and hit variety aside

) that this one looks great...especially by comparison to 2K9:

Same here. It is pretty funny

It wasn't that I didn't know how, I simply forgot how after reading the articles, and for some reason 2K6 stuck in my mind when I first made the video. After reading along, I re-remembered what it was.

We don't even know how the batter's eye will work at this point. Yet you're sounding like they've already failed implementing batter's eye. Wait for some gameplay - who knows?

From what we know, there are times where the better batters will be able to pick up some pitches earlier than other batters (depending on their "eye" attribute). We also know that there is a chance they pick it up as the pitcher is in their windup. That was enough for me to call out "wait a minute!" because we've seen it far too often before (even with SCEA).

I think the grass may be a little unsaturated and the dirt is definitely off, and some team colors just have some incorrect hues. Other than that and the strange orange tint that I pick up at times, they look tenfold better than 2K9.

It has nothing to do with it "looking better than 2k9" and everything to do with it looking like baseball.

You have a valid point, human.

I must not be as picky because the colors look ok to me *shrugs*.

Where are you reading that the batter will "pick it up as the pitcher is in their windup" or anything like that? I don't recall reading anything about it happening in their windup. If you did read that, then I'd agree with you. I don't recall that though.

Also, Ronnie tweeted that all visual aids can be removed in 2k10.

Yeah, agreed.

One of the screens shows the word "Fastball" popping up while the pitcher is in his windup. I assume that is part of the batter's eye, but we really need to wait until we see it in action to pass a final verdict on it.

But yes, we are supposed to be able to turn it off, so that's good, and it makes it not really a big deal if we don't like it. And yeah, for someone who wouldn't even use this feature, it seems kind of pointless to complain about it at length.
