Major League Baseball 2K10 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

IGN has posted their hands-on preview of Major League Baseball 2K10, talking mostly about My Player mode.

"I'm happy to say that I enjoyed the few hours I spent developing my shortstop and closer. The game runs smoothly and does a good job of getting you in and out of the action without trudging through lengthy loading menus, but for the most part My Player in MLB 2K10 seemed like a worthy addition to the franchise."

"Just before my closer was able to make his way up to the majors in September call-ups, the debug system running the game crashed."

"Of course, just as my shortstop was about to make his way to the big time, MLB 2K10 decided to crap out again (I was repeatedly assured that the bug has been fixed in the final version)."

Freezing/crashing in 2K's MLB game...why is this always an issue?

12 minutes.

Another review and my concerns grow, lol. A closer clubbing a homer and driving in runs, slapping balls to the OF at ease.... yikes.

If the hitting, once again, is too easy, it will frustrate me. If I can pound the strike zone and pitch 9 inning, 50 pitch complete game 2 hit shutouts, or never walk batters.......

I maintain the slim hope that these reviews are based on "pro" or "rookie" settings. And, should that fail, I hope the sliders can fix it.

All in all it won't stop me from buying the game, though. I maintain that I like the direction of the series. 2k9, with some adjustments and the ability to edit stances and windups.... well, I'd still be playing it.

Just hoping that the series doesn't take a step back.

I hope this stuff gets fixed. Hitting shouldn't be that easy even on pro.

While I know it's not a final build, I find it comical how (almost) apologetic and forgiving the reviewer is for the crashes.

Thanks for the link!

If I buy the game, I am one of those guys who has to wait to start a franchise, so I am sure that I will be spending a lot of time on My Player. It does seem like a good addition to the game and it should only get better over the next couple of years.
