Maybe I just didn't see it in the demo vids, but will there be dirty uniforms?

Jeter laid out for a ball in one vid, the dust came up, and his uni looked spotless afterwards...

I would be very surprised if the jaggies in the shadows are removed in the retail version. I expect them to be there.

Hmmmm, I fear this could be a game killer for me, jagged edges and low level crowd is the price to pay to have solid frames per second?

Mark Little: We made big improvements to the visual quality on the PS3 (and 360 for that matter). We definitely reduced the jaggies and sizzle in the game, but we didn't stop there. We also improved many other areas like players, lighting and overall color balance.

Do I have to believe this 2K guy then?

You can throw to the cutoff man from the outfield with LB, but if you've already thrown it and want to cutoff the throw, not possible. And yeah I'm sure some of it is because it's a demo, but still. What's the point of a demo with that stuff cut out exactly? It doesn't give a good first impression.

What baseball game has ever had a true cutoff man? Most games use relay men only. It would be nice to have this option but I've never seen it (although I haven't played every baseball game out there).

Walk off homrun celebrations? Are they in the game?

They are. I hit one with Swisher. The crowd didn't do anything really, no extra noise or anything but the rest of the team waited for me at the plate and mobbed me.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Questions for Developers After Playing Demo?

Is the demo gameplay considered "final build"? There have been some reports of AI fielding issues, the D- walk rating, etc. So I'm wondering if these things will disappear because the demo is not part of the final build. Hope this makes sense.

Great work VC!

Any retro uniforms this year like the 1956 or 57' Redlegs with cut sleeves?

Maybe in the future you would be open to the idea of us voting for the top 2 classic uniforms of each franchise?

Are both National Anthems offered in 2K10?


Thank you,

Is anti-aliasing turned off in the demo/are the graphics in the demo the same graphics we should expect in the final version?

Re: Questions for Developers After Playing Demo?

Chase could you ask what is the formula they are using in reference to Inside Edge. Specifically around IE Batter Breakdown.

I'm being told (by Ron ovr @ 2K) that even though the letter grades are looking screwed up (Most players have C or D Walk Ratings in the DEMO in turn causing the AI to sometimes seem a little too aggressive @ the plate) that IE is working as it's suppose to.

Clarification would be appreciated

^ This. The IE ratings seemed to be the cause of the over agression in last year's version, and it's showing up again. That said, I have walked a couple of batters in the demo.

Another question...

In a batter's IE, how can a batter be Cs and Ds in each of the categories but still have an Overall rating of a B? All of the batters have a higher overall rating in the IE than what their ratings in each individual metric might suggest.

Hey, during the demo I noticed a lack of anti-aliasing on the players and other features of the stadium (i.e. crowd). This resulted in really noticeable jagged player models and bodies which is distracting from the game and created an almost "rough and unfinished" look to the game. Will this be the same in the final product, or will there be anti-aliasing in the release game?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Questions for Developers After Playing Demo?

I am hoping that the demo doesn't have the polish that the final game will have. Maybe they had to keep the demo a certin size or something.
