Very impressive trailer. I can't wait to see some gameplay videos. The graphics look nice as well.

Nice trailer... They really need to fix how the uniform fits to the players... need to make it more baggy... other than that, nice animations..

Looking good! Happy VC has taken over the reigns. We could be blessed with 2 games this year.

I want to know how the PS3 game will compare with the XBOX 360 version.

exciting stuff!

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

I downloaded the trailer this morning at Game Trailers and went through it frame-by-frame. The wait for actual game play footage is killing me, but I did notice a handful of new things.

-Player models are definitely better. The cloth physics are closer to 2K7/2K8 than 2K9 (a good thing) and while there is still room for improvement, faces are also better.

-Uniform lighting is still off in places. The Red Sox batting helmet is a deep navy (nearly black) in real life, but it looks a lighter shade of blue in the trailer.

-Working scoreboards. Nice.

-Nick Swisher rounds first while looking into right; it's a nice touch. Did base runners track the ball in the outfield last year?

-The trailer shows three results of a defensive swing; a foul, a swing and a miss and a hit into play.

-Abreu's leaping play at the wall happens in a night game (his body casts multiple shadows). Night lighting is much, much better than last year.

-Lots of new throws and smoother animations. The trailer is recorded at 30fps, by the way - it misses half the frames the game renders.

-Stadium improvements - there are tons.

-I am concerned about hit variety - most seem to go up the middle or into the alleys. Chase says he ripped a double down the line that bounced around in the corner... but I am a little worried.

I love the way players look and move in 2k sports games. Something about their animation system and attention to detail is incredible. It's videogamish but it's also real. Hard to explain. They get certain movements and sig stuff down better than anyone. The music was a good choice too. Game looks fun if 2k doesnt drop the ball in some area which they probably will.

I agree about the sig stuff...overall, it's quite good and very detailed. As for basic animations (running/walking, swings, generic throws, etc) they are very twitchy and unrealistic IMO. Something that I hope they've focused on this year. They seemed to have tightened up the fielding animations though, which is an excellent start.

I agree with you there. 2k usually does certain canned animations better than anyone. That's why these trailers are misleading sometimes. All it's showing are the best animations in the game. You kind of have to see the whole game in action. Like nba 2k10 for example has tons of animations that look amazing, but the overall movement of players isn't as organic. The framerates are crappy and the speed and pacing of the players is all out of whack. The Show really nailed the batter and pitcher duels last year and i thought it felt very realistic when you were at the plate hitting hte ball. MLB 2k9 on the other hand was horrible. The pitching felt good but the batter AI was so bad and you could pinpoint your pitches it didnt matter.

This is what i want to see is if 2k really concentrated on getting that organic feel down as far as pitcher and batter duels go and fielding, baserunning, pickoffs as well. 2k games have a tendency to look amazing in spots but are very robotic otherwise. It's been a while since 2k has released a game, where they've really tightened up their gameplay..

Haven't read through this whole thread but did anyone else notice the catcher's glove and the umpire's mask color at the beginning with Tex hitting? They're both BRIGHT red.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

That's hilarious seeing a hype score of 4 for this game. I wonder if the developers of this abomination of a series take note of things like that.

Hopefully it's an early build, because that doesn't really look like Jeter.

That's a pretty blurry picture. I'm willing to bet he looks better once you see it on your own TV. Jeter is normally one of the guys who gets some love, in terms of facial accuracy.

Felix Hernandez looks worse, and he's one of their promo guys this year.

As Chase said, the faces will be nothing to glamor over this year. That's just too bad.
