Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - My Player, Part I

[kcxiv]

2K Sports has posted another Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insight. This is part I detailing My Player mode, part II coming tomorrow.

"One of the main goals that we set out to achieve in our design for the mode was to always be transparent and ensure that you understand what you need to do to progress through the mode. When you start out in the Minors, there is a clear list of MLB Call-up goals that you can see getting checked off as you meet them. Once you get to the Majors, you’ll get a new list of goals and career milestones that you need to accomplish to become a Hall of Famer (more specifics about the Hall of Fame system will be coming in Part II of the My Player Developer Insight). The end result is that you will have goals that are easy to see and understand, so you won’t have to just rely on an arbitrary meter bar and have to guess as to why/when it is increasing or decreasing."

Re: Dev Insight: My Player Part 1

Sounds pretty good. Pretty much just like NBA's My Player. I like having no commentary in the minors...cool touch (made the commentary all the more rewarding in NBA 2K10...I inagine it will be the same for MLB).

I don't like being rewarded/penalized for team goals like wins/losses, playoff sweeps, etc. Hate it in NBA 2K10, don't want it for MLB. If it were just for upholding your part, fine...but you have very little individual control if of how well your team does.

Overall though, it definitely sounds like it's worth checking out. I'll probably go the pitcher route if when I mess around with it.

Slightly off topic, but the player models look great in those screens.

Good read though, mode sounds interesting.

Re: Dev Insight: My Player Part 1

Nice write up. I loved NBA's My Player mode. I just hope it doesn't has as many bugs in it. But, very nice to see how they are taking out commentary during Minor league games. Makes it so much more rewarding when you get to The SHOW (sorry, no relation.) and get to hear everything.

Keep this stuff coming.

I like that fielding cam, it reminds me of the ASB series. The only concern I have with this is that I hope they don't make it too easy to get promoted to the big leagues.

I like it. Now I just need to see some gameplay and I am sold.

Re: Dev Insight: My Player Part 1


Love this fielding Camera ! It made my day I cant wait to start my 5-tool Outfielder for the Tribe.

Dang,where to start ... I really like the atmostphere here. The crowd, Billboards and ads, the dirt and textures, dugout... (this is minor league too)
Am I the only one who is impressed by these screens? & what is truly going on within them

No, you're not alone, they look very good. Like I said a few posts up too, the player models look great.

Re: Dev Insight: My Player Part 1

I'm REALLY impressed on how in depth this mode is. They seem to have covered most of the elements of guiding a player through the ranks and up to the majors and I'm eager to read part2 on the transition to the big leagues. I only PRAY that the execution isn't completely flawed, as I'm sure it won't be perfect.

Re: Dev Insight: My Player Part 1

I really love the graphics too, especially the realtime scoreboards. Did you catch that pic of Fenway with the PIT STL score posted (only one you could see) Talk about atmosphere. With the Fielding cam this game is looking like a next gen ASB 2005. Love how you can track the ball in the air! Hope this view is also available in the standard game. Very impressed with the entire my player mode, I see myself very busy come Mar 2nd!

I'm pretty sure it's just a myplayer thing... maybe next yer though!

That was a great read. No hype, just good solid facts.

I never thought I would be into a mode like this... but as info keeps rolling in, it's really starting to grow on me. Must be all the RPGs I've been playing lately, heh.

Anyone notice how good the batting view looked compared to what we have seen before?
