Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Questions For 2/19

Here is my question. Will the ps3 be supported through patches the same as the 360, unlike 2k's hockey game which was not. Thanks.

Got a few questions for you:

First off, in last year's version there were problems where the franchise mode would not load and just freeze the game when I attempted to load it. Have these issues been resolved?

Secondly, in 2K9, I felt like I was playing backyard softball. It was really unrealistic (too many in the park homeruns, everything left the infield, etc.), as well as too many plays in the outfield where it wasn't fielded. Has that been fixed?

Lastly, 2K8 did an excellent job with this, and 2K9 didn't quite do as well with this. 2K8 did a really good job with all of the prospects (Jay Bruce, Evan Longoria, David Price, Andrew McCutchen, just to name a few). Even though they weren't allowed to put their names in the game, they still had real good counterparts that resembled them. In 2K9, Andrew McCutchen's counterpart was white, and Pedro Alvarez (Pirates third base prospect) wasn't even in the game when he was the #2 overall selection in the draft. In 2K10, did they include fictional players that resemble these top prospects who haven't made their ML debuts in the minor leagues somewhere?

Using the behind the pitcher view when batting against the CPU, does the CPU catcher still give away the location making it obvious as to where the pitch will land?

Last year, players stayed on the Disabled List indefinitely. Has that been fixed for MLB 2K10?

[wcrickards]

here are a few:

- The last time I played the MLB 2k series it was 2007. Every other at-bat was a home run or the outfielder robbed a home run (seriously, I've seen dozens of Kenny Loften-esque HR's being robbed from that game before junking it). Has that been fixed?

- Seriously, when will we see gameplay footage?

- When does the exclusive contract run out?

1 - Did you guys put in a better World Series Celebration? For some reason, the one in 2k9, was pretty weak compared to other years.

2- Bugs, Glitches? Have they been cleaned up for the most part?

I'm wondering if the guy I play in My Player will have some ratings drop if he performs badly? Also, if he becomes a star, will he be able to date Jessica Simpson? What happens if his ratings max out?

Here's a question: Why is the Wii version lacking online capabilities (and therefore living rosters and My Player) for the third year in a row? Heck, NBA 2K10 had it and this was the first Wii version.

I popped in 2K9 today and refamiliarized myself w/ the game. Two questions I have from that playthrough are:

(1) Is base stealing functional this year?

-Ex. While playing 2K9 today I successfully stole 2nd twice, but since the catcher threw the ball away trying to get me out, my runner was never credited w/ a stolen base.

Has that been fixed?

Keeping it to baserunning...

(2) Are take-out slides in this year?

(3) Overall I hope baserunning is fixed, especially stealing, since it was near impossible to successfully steal w/ the best of base stealers.

Do players have a potential rating in franchise mode? If not, how is progression handled?

Yes to this question. It showed it in one of the trailers.

How does fielding work in my player mode?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Questions For 2/19

Will the ability to view your opponent's line-up card and bench be improved?

Specifically, 2K9 failed to provide the R/L info for hitters and pitchers without serious digging. 2K8 brought up a line-up card with all of this information at the press of button in game.

[natsfan93]

Are the hitting stats realistic this year?

for example are there still WAY too many home runs hit?

Also, when is the demo coming out? (If there is one)

This is a very good question. I second it.

Also the amatuer draft:

(1) When does it occur in franchise mode? End of season, or in June as supposed?
(2) Are issues w/ the created players fixed? i.e. most SPs being the size of Scott Kazmir.
(3) Is the draft order fixed? It was not at an inverse of the previous years standings as it should be.
