Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch is Live, Post Impressions Here (360)

The Show and 2K10 are quite different though. It's not such an easy decision. Besides, the first real roster update with rookies comes out for both systems in less than 48 hours. The PS3 is getting both patches combined as one and the real patch for the game should be out fairly soon (two weeks?).

I agree 100%

I am a PS3 user and own both games - MLB 10 the show and MLB 2k10.

IMO, we pay the same price for MLB 2k10 whether it's a 360 version or a PS3 version. Therefore, regardless of sales figures, the PS3 users must be treated in the same way as the 360 users.

Any discrimination makes the 2ksports look unprofessional indeed.

I can't wait for the patch for PS3.

And in the real world, businesses take care of the portions of their customer base that are the most profitable. It's not a right or wrong issue. When you spend money on a game, it's silly not to take into account what a publisher will do. Wasting time time on what they should do will just frustrate you.

This is my third year n a row buying 2K. But if I had a PS 3 only, I would not have spent the money, because I know they don't value that customer base for obvious reasons.

I think The Show has rather stale gameplay mechanics (for pitching, hitting, fielding) compared to 2K10, I do still believe it is the more complete, polished game of the two.

I totally agree with you. The Show is FAR more polished but the commentary and gameplay mechanics of 2K10 bring me back. I also love the batting and pitching camera options of 2K10 and the slower pitch speed.

So tonight's Community Developer Game thing on XBox Live is MLB 2K10. New patch today, maybe? It'd be a thought....though if it wasn't released today I bet that most of the questions asked of the developers would be regarding the fatigue and rocket arms issues.

I hope they don't touch the arm strength much. I think the issue of rocket arms is completely overblown. When you tone down fielder speed it's a non issue imo.

It's a HUGE issue, actually. It becomes very apparent in franchise mode when you see stats at seasons end. The last few years no OF has had 20 assists, I think the most was like 17. In this game I've simmed the first season like 6 different times with 3 different rosters....and Manny Ramirez has broken 20 assists each season, let alone people with good arms like Kemp throwing out 30+ a couple times.

that can be fixed by slowing down the fielders, so they don't get the ball so quick, and speeding up the baserunners. Iy can also be limited by reducing AI base running aggression. I'd like to see the rocket arms reduced a bit, but the issue is way over blown. It's more cosmetic, as I'm not finding it really affecting the games as much as I would have assumed.

we wouldn't have put so much time and effort into it if it wasn't an issue.

The real issue though was with the entire fielding attributes. that's been fixed though sans Tomba

So it's not an issue because there are ways to make it less of an issue? Sounds to me like it's an issue. I have adjusted the sliders, and I agree that in game it doesn't effect gameplay...but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed in the patch.

Also, adjusting sliders does nothing for stat generation. So in Franchise mode, every other team will have the insane numbers but you won't (if you play every game). While I realize some people don't play Franchise, and more-so might not even care about realistic stats at seasons end...but there are people that do.

So you agree with me that in-game it's a non issue. I don't know how the stat engine works. If assists are broken with regards to that then they need to fix the stat engine. I haven't really tracked that.

All I'm saying is that the real issue is fielder speed. Once you bump it down to around 25 I see guys getting doubles and triples, scoring easily from 2nd on singles, etc. That to me means no gameplay issue with rocket arms. I'm not sure how other guys are judging the arm issue but that's how I look at it. In fact, the only thing they need to change is the accuracy of the arms imo.

I still think it's a problem and that it needs to be fixed, but with tweaks you can make it not effect gameplay like it does at default settings yes. Fielder speed is definitely a problem, and lowering it will alleviate the arm issue, I had it at 35 for a while and actually recently dumped it down to 20 and have been pretty happy with it. Arm accuracy is absolutely ridiculous...especially for catchers and OF's.

Stat generation is quite broken in regards to multiple things, but the rocket arms became apparent with OF assist numbers. I found quite a few anomalies when I messed around with it, makes me wonder if anyone at 2k bothered to sim a season or compare stats to real life numbers at all.

I'm trying to get it up by Tuesday at the latest. I've literally had to do 30 new content write ups just for the relaunch and then archive all of last years edits too. Then working wth the coding of the site to make it efficient as well. Trying to make sure content can be easily accessible that's all.

Never mind having to make sure my host can handle the traffic etc.

Just a lot of work on top of doing the 360 version of MLB 2k10 by myself
