Major League Baseball 2K10 Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

[Blazzen]

Re: Another video

really, Glaus is a shell of what he used to be.

Guys that hits 30+ homeruns year after year (which gluas did for what 5-7 years in a row?) should have 90's power. Glaus should have about 80 power, which is where Chipper is at - another player who isn't quite what he used to be. A comparison to Bmac probably wasnt fair because Bmac is on the rise and not the decline like Chipper and Glaus are. Anyways thats how I'm justifying 75/80 power for Glaus.

But then again anything you say about the Braves has to be taken with a grain of salt being a mets fan.

I just watched the Braves @ Astros clip, and I'm impressed.

Outfielder throwing strength may be a tad too strong, but it is definitely toned down from the demo. The game looks, animates and appears to play leaps and bounds better than last year.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Re: Another video

Braves vs. Astros actually.

They have Troy Glaus all screwed up. 68 for Power? Puhhlease. They give these guys coming off Tommy John surgery no credit at all. Look at Peter Moyland who came off Tommy John surgery and was 2nd in the NL in appearances.

Glaus doesn't play 2b, he's a 3B/1B and his power should be around 80.

Oh and Tim Hudson isn't a 78 either. Huddy should be AT LEAST as high as Jurrjens at 84.

Wonder how they will rate Heyward once he makes it to the Major Leagues.

What's wrong with a 78? Hudson is aging and just came off TMJ surgery, its practically a couple rating points from a good 80 rating. I think the rating has every bit to do with the uncertainty with him this season and the fact that his skills have indeed diminished over the years.

With the Living Rosters/MLB Today feature, if Hudson shows that he's all the way back healthy, and plays at a high level, I'm sure the developers will give him his due. I have to agree with the Glaus rating though; a 68 in power is REALLY low for a guy who's entire career is based on the fact that he has prolific power.

i'm not impressed. The player models have taken a step back, it seems. Everyone is so skinny! The jerseys look terrible, and the numbers are awful.

Also, it seems like it's way too easy to get hits.

2K7 was awesome...what the hell happened!

Dude, it's Troy Glaus. He's washed up until he proves otherwise.

You sound like a homer.

Hopefully your PS3 is working so you can play that OTHER game, since your not impressed...

And you base that on what? He hardly played at all last year. Tim Hudson is around the same age and barely played last year, is coming off surgery. Do you think he's washed up too?

Most Phillies (or ANY Philly sports team) fans are jackasses. You appear to be no different.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

The commentary does seem ground breaking, but to be honest, it might start to get old after a while. How could they carry new things over from year to year in your franchise? For instance, if I win the AL West in 2010, I highly doubt that they will say, "The Mariners' quest to defend their AL West crown begins today," when I start my new season (2011). It hasn't been recorded so I don't see how it could be carried over... The commentary is truly excellent but after playing 100+ games, I am sure it will get stale and I'll start playing games with the volume down.

In order for commentary to be fresh, carrying over year to year in your franchise, something revolutionary has to happen and I don't think we're there yet.

I see your point, but frankly, if 2k can make a baseball game for 360 that I could actually TOLERATE playing an entire season with, I'll worry about the stale commentary issue later!

I think the visuals are good enough. Improved from last year, though I didn't have a problem with 2k9's visuals either. You see some anti-aliasing and screen tearing, particularly when the ball goes near the stands, but that could also be an issue with the demo.

The one thing that does bother me is the throwing motions. Nobody seems capable of bending their wrist when they release a ball, which looks really fake. Also, OF's throwing the ball to their left or right still always look like they're throwing to home until the ball comes out. Not deal-breakers for me, but things I wish they would've improved from last year.

Not coming off Tommy John surgery he shouldn't.

I'm a Braves fan. Born and raised in Savannah. Watched Hank Aaron hit #715. Grew up with Murphy, Horner, et al.

And I'm telling you Glaus should not be anywhere near a 75, much less an 80. Glaus is 34, hasn't hit 30 HRs since 2006 and essentially didn't play in 2009.

68 is being gracious.

There you go, Blazzen.

I agree on the throwing. some look good, but some look stupid because of the lack of wrist. at times the ball doesn't look like it's the product of the throwing animation either (as in a gun shot when the throw wasn't intense)

It is MAJORLY better than last year though.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

I think the ratings are good in 2k ALA NBA 2k, not making players ratings so freaking high is real and it's good. Some players don't deserve the ratings they get in Video games.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

This years game warrants a major roster overhaul in my opinon. I will be getting to work with minors first, then Simming rosters and finding faults there
