ESPN's Jon Robinson has interviewed American League All-Star, Rookie of the Year, Andrew Bailey. As they talk about Major League Baseball 2K10, among other things.
Jon: "MLB 2K10 is all about trying to recreate the battle between pitchers and hitters. How do you think they've done in mimicking what goes down at the plate?"
Andrew: "The idea that it's all about the pitchers versus the hitters is awesome because there's that mental side to the game that fans don't always see. You get into the heads of the hitters in real life and you're able to do the same thing in the game by mixing up your pitches and keeping your opponent guessing.
I think the game can also be used as a great teaching tool for players in high school and little league because they can learn about the game of baseball and how to pitch. Kids aren't learning as much on the field anymore, but I think a lot of them are learning great pitching techniques online by playing these games. They learn you can bust someone in, bust someone in, bust someone in, then go away and make the batter look like a fool."

Any way most of these devs are friends too. I hope they played the Show a lot, that way they will take some of the good ideas and run with it.
