    Looking forward to picking this up. If it's fun then I'm cool with it. I'll also have The Show so I'll be perfectly set with baseball.

      Do we even know what difficulty he was playing on? Just a thought...

Someone who has no clue, playing with a new created player and still throwing 85%+ strikes when he's not nailing his gestures...is a complete joke. Especially from a company touting that the game is all about the batter vs pitcher.
          Yet when Chase played the game, he had a totally different take on Balls & Strikes as someone pointed out earlier in this same thread.

          Pinpointing will not be very easy to do either way since ratings also play a bigger role when pitching. Your outfielder will not be able to come into the game and paint the corners anymore. In addition to that, even when your normally wild pitchers are nailing their pitching motions, there is an inherent amount of wildness that will still show up. By default, Joel Pineiro is just going to be more accurate than Oliver Perez.

          This also ties into how the AI performs. During my time with the game, I walked two CPU batters, but I also drew two or three walks against my CPU counterpart. When an AI pitcher with weak control attributes is on the mound, he may miss the strike zone by a lot more on a more consistent basis than a control pitcher will.

            Just have to wait and see I guess. Hopefully the demo comes soon. I just don't have a lot of confidence after the last couple years is all, and seeing stuff like this article isn't helping things. My interest is certainly piqued from everything I've read so far, but it seems to me they are still working on features instead of strengthening the core gameplay.

              So might that have something to do with the numbers as well?

                The good part is he's pitching that many pitches. Last year you could pitch 9 innings and only have a 72 pitch count.

                And then he went back to Pro because he was getting clobbered.
                Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                  This. Not to mention we have no idea if he "WASTED" any pitches trying to get the CPU to chase stuff outside the ZONE. I know people are on the FENCE with this game due to being BURNED before & well you should be, but again we must remember that how 1 person plays a game, will probably differ from another

                    Exactly. So people are worried about the pitch counts of a guy playing on Pro? Really??

                      I think I'm overall just more concerned about what kind of players they think we are on Pro. One thing I hate about these companies is they default the game to such a dumbed down level. I don't even necessarily mean "easy", but just dumbed down. Pitches are about halved in speed, every single visual aid is up and running, and camera angles are just ridiculous. It makes it hard to do things like play the demo (no option changes) or watch people play preview builds because they don't change up anything, and it completely misrepresents the game.

                      Yet, I'll blame 2K for that. Other games don't seem to have that issue where we have to say something like, "It's because they're playing on Pro that you're not seeing that kind of hit variety." It's just weird.

                        Day 3 Update..

                        http://gameinformer.com/blogs/editors/b/gireiner_blog/archive/2010/02/04/a-live-journal-of-mlb-2k10.aspx

                        I'd also like to address the way I pitch. I haven't walked any batters yet, but that doesn't mean I'm throwing just strikes. On the Pro difficulty, the batters are aggressive, swinging at most pitches close to the plate. A lot of my strike outs come on curveballs in the dirt, or fastballs inside. On the All Star difficulty, my pitcher became so rattled that I felt like I was throwing batting practice. I couldn't place a ball on the corner to save my life, and in my panic, just threw 'em over the plate. I spent most of the game in the showers.

                          Are there CPU swinging aggressiveness sliders with pitches in and out of the strike zone like 2K4 - 2K7 had?

                            Hopefully the AI is just being aggressive because his pitch ratings are so lousy (Movement 50/Control 50). Sounds like he's a batting practice pitcher, heh.

                              just shows that he doesnt know how to work the count on the harder levels. He doesnt know when to pitch out, or when to challenge a hitter. It seems like he and the pitcher got rattled. pro is usually stupid easy in 2K games i think we all know that.

                                We don't really know without watching him play. There could very well be flaws in the game, considering last year's AI. Although, Chase said it seemed improved to him and that he pitched an unintentional walk, so it does seem like this guy might not be a very wise pitcher, but I don't want to disrespect him.
