    I'm sure IT could be patched.

      You are probably right and it does not happen every time, so it's not a huge deal. It is a very fun game. It will compliment the Show nicely.

        A combination of graphics and hitting/pitching make the game seem 'cartoony' to me. I really don't see much difference from last year.

          Don't count on the PS3 getting any kind of patch.

          NHL2k10 released their patch for xbox ONLY!

            You know... even though this game is supposedly on Pro. I just played a great pitcher's duel. In 3 innings I (Tex) had 2 hits while the CPU (SF) had none. It was very fun and I can tell I'm going to really have a lot of fun with this game.

            Good job 2K.

              I really enjoyed the pitching and I can accept it not being difficult since the demo is on the pro setting. I saw some nice hit variety for the first time in this series including a chopper. The fielding is very nice, they delivered on their promises there. Playing on the PS3, the graphics are...underwhelming, but that is not why I play these games it delivers on the fun factor and that is why I will be picking it up next week! Oh, didn't notice any frame-rate problems gonna go back to playing now

                I am getting some glitches in gameplay...latest one is I hit a ball off of the right field wall and Ross caught it off the wall and although I was safe at first I could not advance at all...

                  Why can't The Show clone 2K's pitching and hitting and keep the Show visuals? Honesty though, I don't see much difference between 2k10 and 2k11. 2K11 will be a nice change of pace from the show if you want a pickup game with friends. Not sure if the 2k demo is enough to get my $60 away from the show.

                    Dude, we are not supposed to be comparing the 2 games per the mod's. But since you posted this and it will get deleted anyway I will say that I always felt like I was more involved in 2k's game because of the analog controls and not just pressing a face button to pitch, hit and throw. how can face buttons be interactive? I don't know what else you would mean by that.

                      Wow, the changing strike zone just happened big time for me.

                      I was down 0-2, let a pitch go on the outside that caught the plate, and it was called a BALL. Made me so happy haha. Ended up working the count to 3-2, fouled a ball off, and then used the defensive swing and got a bloop hit over the third baseman's head. SO GOOD!

                            Not to get into a big comparison because I was just making a general statement but just the attention to detail that is there in the Show that 2K is missing. And hitting buttons is no less involved then random gestures on an analog stick that have nothing to do with baseball.

                            Oh, and about the not comparing thing. I responded to this originally as a comment to the story on the main page of the site, I always forget that those are connected with the forum.

                              I really like the demo.

                              Lost the first game 0-1 thanks to a run scored on a throwing error. I really like the new mechanic. Not overly difficult but adds a little tension to double plays and keeps you from sleeping on those routine tosses.

                              My second game was perfect 2-0. Even with the CPU cheating and finding the button that allowed it to put in a PH for the last at bat.

                              Improved hit variety and ball physics. Players also move at a more realistic speed to ball.
                              Singles to the gap.
                              Doubles are doubles now.
                              I even caught a pop up behind home plate which I don't think I ever saw in 2k10.

                              A few line drives at infielders but didn't see any football catches.
                              Didn't see any robo pitcher fielding.

                              CPU walked me once on pitches and twice intentionally.

                              Graphics look about the same but players are improved. Not improved with more polygons - just modeled more closely to their real life counterparts.

                              Lighting, as always, seems a bit off. It is like 2K turns the HDR up to 11. It probably does make it look closer to the harsh brights and contrast you see outside on a sunny day but I think it also highlights all the graphic imperfections. I think if they went for a more muted daylight lighting - closer to how it appears on TV - then it would look as good as the competition.

                                DL'd to my PS3 and have played three games and it's a huge improvement over last year's game. I don't think the graphics are all that bad (playing on an HDTV). Used classic controls for pitching and batting. Both improved over last year. Fielding is fun. Love the batting camera but as another mentioned have a hard time making out where the ball is after it's hit sometimes. Had a man on first and hit a single to right and tried to go from first to third and was thrown out by a mile. Obviously a shallow hit single but it was hard to decide just how deep the single was. Will take Jayhawkers advice and just keep my eye on the fielder next time. Turned several DP's. Hit one dinger (Audrey Huff). Pitch counts were very good for both me and CPU. Only gripe I have (and it's minor) is a framerate drop whenever ball is put in play on occasions. Other than that I'm very surprised it plays as good as it does. Comparing this demo with Ronnie's vid is like night and day. I'll still stick with the Show for my first purchase but I'm Gameflying this one too until a price drop and then maybe do the "Keep It" thing with them. 2K Baseball is a dog no more
