Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Dated, 3 Innings Phillies @ Yankees

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Dated, 3 Innings Phillies @ Yankees

Ronnie also said he doubts you can change the difficulty or slider settings.

Yeah, that's what I'm guessing too.

But as I said, as a PS3 I'll definitely have the game in hand before the 4th if I want to try and get that $1 million. So I guess I won't have any gripes with that issue.

Oh speaking of which (non-demo related), with MLB Today do you think we're allowed to change said presentation settings and save them? Hopefully we don't have to stick with all defaults... just with difficulty settings.

Does it matter that the PS3 demo comes out late? Is anyone on PS3 going to buy it over The Show?

I'll probably check out the demo, but unless it really wows me, I'm going back to either MVP or High Heat on my PC for my baseball gaming this season. I really disliked 2k9.

According to Ronnie's Twitter account, the Major League Baseball 2K10 demos have been given release dates. 360 users will see the demo on February 23rd, while the PS3 folks see it on March 4th.

It has been confirmed the demo will be 3 innings, Phillies @ Yankees.

WOW, March 4th for PS3 users, what crap that is.

I mean once again we get a demo after the game is released, just bad IMO.


Thanks for the info Steve.

They only do this because either (a) Sony wants to get their product out first, or (b) they know it won't make a different cuz all PS3 owners are buying the other game regardless.

My brother probably will. And I'd like to have seen it before both games come out. I'm only buying one game and I'd probably have to rent 2K10 to really give it a chance. I'd want to try the different levels out. Playing on Pro probably won't give me a good idea of what the game will do.

Probably not, but you would think that if 2K wanted to give their title a chance to compete on the PS3, they would've had the demo available earlier. As it is now, the game releases before the demo...which for 2K baseball has been a bad sign in the past....

Besides the obvious questions about the game, if I remember correctly in the past years the PS3 version has had issues the 360 did not...and while an update was promised it was never delivered. So a big factor towards buying the PS3 version may be how it actually performs...something we won't be able to know until it's actually released now.

i can already see this hurting their sales on ps3...smh

Maybe it makes a difference for people that need to buy the games on day one. The games will be available for purchase days/weeks/months after March 2nd. It's not like there will be no PS3 demo. And if a person is truly looking to do due diligence before purchasing the game they'll also weigh in reviews, opinions, etc. We've had lots of cross-platform games release a demo first on the 360, then on the PS3. It's also happened in reverse. One week shouldn't kill anyone if they're truly interested and not just looking for reasons not to like the game. And as others have said, for all we know Sony could be looking to give their first party game as much spotlight as possible. I don't know if that's the case, but it doesn't seem like that big a deal regardless. The over-dramatization of every single issue is ridiculous around here.

I vote A. I'm not trying to start anything, but it is kinda funny that Sony isn't gonna get that demo out quickly. I think that's why Ronnie made the comment about it "not being on us." But , hey, do you blame them? I'd give my first-party product priority too....

BTW: here's a bit of context. I am buying MLB2k10 for PC, so I'm not bashing. I had a PS3 for one week, bought it just for the "other" game. But felt that was dumb, especially after seeing what my PC could do with PES and NBA2k10. So I'm just making kind of a backhanded compliment at Sony. IMO, they are doing "Japanese Inspection"(see Days Of Thunder) on the demo, slow rolling it as not to advertize against their system seller.

I think it may actually increase first day sales for the PS3 version though. What do you think ?

Not with 2K's recent poor history and the other games good history.

If the game had been solid for years, I could see this tactic working...(Hey instead of giving them a chance to test it out via the demo, lets make 'em buy it).

It also doesn't help that the previously pretty much totally neglected the game on the PS3.

I see what your saying but I don't want to believe that.

By going that way, that may mean that they don't want people to play the game before they release it and not like it, thus people that were getting it because of the 1 million dollar prize won't buy it. But the way 2K has pushed this game and most of the solid reviews, I don't think that's the case.

I don't think this has to do with 2K at all. I agree that Sony probably wants to get their product out first. I'm really excited for 2K10 and will definitely be trying out the demo. I most likely won't change my idea on buying it, unless I hate it, on the demo however because it's not the full game. I have both 360 and PS3 and will most likely get both games but I'm probably more excited for 2K10 as I know what I'm getting with the other game.

This definitely has to be on Sony, protecting their 1st party game.
