I think the cpu sits some of my guys in the bullpen if I make a mound visit. There have been a couple times the last few games where I swear I had a guy warming up only to go to the pen and nobody is. This is only something I've seen (or mis-remembered) post-patch.

I haven't seen this so you probably just "misremembered"

I wish they would have the double switch option on the quick menu for subs. I think everyone knows you can leave a pinch hitter in the game now so that was a nice fix. Just played the Dodgers in a series in LA.

Don't know if it was the patch that caused it since I wasn't there before...but my "My Player" mode now freezes whenever I try and hit "start" after year two's recap. It goes through the awards and everything, and goes to the screen showing your player's progression from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and you have to hit start to advance...game freezes there every time now.

Did you know when you go to sub a pitcher using the quick menu (pushing down) that if you hit triangle while in that menu the bullpen gets displayed? The pitcher(s) throwing in the pen get shown and it shows their readiness level as well. I did this by accident the other day and never knew it existed.

How is this game post patch vs 2k9 post patch?

I sold the Show cause I'm bored of it and like the hitting and pitching of the 2k game.

So I bought 2k9 on the cheap and it's decent so far. And I found some very good updated rosters online.

Curious to know if 2k10 is that much better to the point where I should get it.

It's much better than 2K9. I'd hate to go back to 2K9 after playing 2K10.

It depends on what you want out of the game. From what I can tell, 2K10's franchise play is not worth the money.

But for a pick-up and play game, it's pretty great. MLB Today is just a fantastic feature, and 2K has done a surprisingly good job of keeping up with roster moves and line-ups.

I play a couple of games a day, and I just find the presentation and gameplay to be addictive. I'm playing through a franchise season right now with the Cardinals and the Rangers just to see how bad the stats really are.

But I'm still drawn to the MLB Today games. I will go through and play games where that feature the guys on my fantasy baseball team. It's pretty cool, because I get up-to-date stats and standings for lots of different teams, as I play their games. MLB today has me playing as far more teams than I ever took the time to play before.

At least 2k10 doesn't freeze all the time in franchise. Even after patches, I couldn't get past May in any franchise without it permanently freezing. And that franchise had a lot of problems as well. Both franchises are bad, but 2k10's is probably a little better, as at least you can edit a ton of players in the minors now, and you get 40 day rosters, and the in game play is fun.

I think the patch helped the game tremendously.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Patch v1.2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I think the patch certainly helped on balls up the middle being gobbled by the pitcher. The pitcher can still be Mr. Super Fielder at times but I've also seen the animation of him hitting the deck to avoid the ball a few times. More balls get through the middle now than pre-patch imo.

One thing I haven't been impressed with is the default fielder the game chooses for you after the hit. On balls in the infield they often give me an outfielder. I tried to dive the other day with my 2B and Magglio dove in the OF. Reminded me of the Show when I did that since they used to have a similar problem.

I went and got The Show yesterday (9 bucks can't beat that!) - and among the trade ins was not MLB 2K10. I favor MLB 2K10's pitching and batter controls, because The Show is overall boring. It has the great presentation and everything to make it look like an awesome video game, but tapping the X button to throw and hit is just boring. Someone once said 'it is like having a hot girlfriend, but she sucks in bed' The analog stick controls are what made 2K10 fun. I just don't get that excitement that I do with MLB 2K10, so they definately did something right for a football guy like me to enjoy a baseball game. I will give MLB 2K11 a first look just like MLB 2K10.

The thing I bolded says it all. You're not a baseball fan, so you don't actually care about a baseball video game being a realistic representation of MLB.

Even secondary fans care about a realistic representation of MLB. You can't assume only hardcare fans want realism. I think the Show does a great job of that myself but it needs to improve in options like analog controls and camera angles. Realistic and fun don't always go hand in hand. Gameplay mechanics play a role.

Honestly, if I had the time, I would play both games. I enjoy what 2K10 brought to the table this year. But, it isn't the total package that The Show is. When forced to choose between the two, I'm going with The Show.

Again, not a knock on 2K at all as I think they really stepped its game up this year and produced a quality title. I may go back and pick the game back up again at a later date because it is fun to play.
