Re: MLB 2K10 Demo Available (360) - Post Impressions Here

Well, I'll say this... Right now, after reading some impressions, this game seems like a sure buy this year. I know people's leashes for this game are short, so to read mostly positive impressions here is a great sign.

Good job 2K... I'm not praising. I'm only saying that obviously, this game is on it's way up.

The pitching is kool well improved over last year gameplay is better as well..

It's so smooth. After last year's disaster, can't believe it. It's beautiful.

Quick question... Is it possible to use the classic controls in the demo?

Nope.

Yes.

Nope.

Start > My Controller > Controller Setup > LB / RB > Back

EDIT: You have to switch it for both batting and pitching using LT / RT.

Has anyone tried to check swing, wonder if it has been squeezed in the demo....

Start > My Controller > Controller Setup > LB / RB > Back

Can you button-hit then?

Great news!

I'm a button masher so I was praying that 2K left the option for classic controls in... Thanks.

Oh. Did not see that. Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone talk about pitching......has it improved any over the last few years or is it still pretty much pinpoint all the time?

Depends on gesture.

However, I understand what you're referring to. It's not High Heat style. I miss on gesture a bit. If you're right on, it'll go exactly as you wish. If you miss a bit (on gesture), you'll miss a tad in location as well. Halladay has fantastic control, I haven't pitched with him yet, about to do that now and see if there is a difference between him and Sabathia (who has decent control, but not as good as Halladay).

Using Joba right now, missing quite a bit (good gesture too). Just throwing fastballs atm. Maybe this area has been tweaked a bit. More impressions in this area is needed.

Just did it in classic. I do not know how to do it in total control. LoL.

Yes.

Played 2 games.

1st game I mixed up pitches and lost 2-0. (Joba vs Bastardo (me)

2nd game I threw only fastballs down the middle and tied 0-0 (Joba vs Bastardo(me) - Throwing nothing but fastballs and getting 1-2-3 innings the fist two, then 1 hit in the 3rd concerns me. Especially with a lower pitcher vs the Yankees.

Both games despite no hits Swisher was player of the game.

Looks alot nicer than last year though.

After playing a game of the Demo, here's my quick pros/cons:

Pros

• Lighting Looks Improved from 2k9 Demo
• Player Faces/Models Look Good IMO
• Pitching While Taking Time To Get Used To Can Be Fun

Cons

• Bat Sounds Seem Like Mixed Bag
• Players Sometimes Slide Into Position To Make Catch On Double Plays/Throws To First
• Wall Collision Detection Seems Off A Bit

Overall I'm Impressed With The Demo, and have high hopes for this year's Installment of the Franchise. The Cons aren't frequent enough to be gamebreakers to me and I would be some peope wouldn't even notice them.

Players are taking strikes and swinging at pitches off the plate (players with high strike out totals). Good to see that . . .

Thanks, this is great news for me, in total control you should pull back as soon as you push forward. Enjoy the demo...

Thanks for the impressions.

Is this the final build, though? I thought it was but maybe I'm wrong.
