MLB 2k10 Impressions

Brent, GTA IV won't get any playtime until August (or until I beat RDR). My wife saw it for $26 in Walmart and had a $5 gift card, so she got it for me.

Ted, I put my pitcher composure sliders back to 50 because they seemed to dominant with it set at 0. I'd be curious if you see the same thing after a few games.

Here's the video of my near triple play:



There's a better quality video of it here:

MLB 2K10 Gameplay

I haven't had any infield pop-ups, but I have gotten some foul outs and errors in "Play Now" games. I actually have to upload a replay to 2K's web site of a triple play I almost had. Here's what happened:

No outs and runner on first and second. The batter hits a ground ball to A-Rod who tags the runner heading to third, throws to second base for the second out, but the offline throw to first base by Cano denied me a triple play.

I'd rather have errors on throws than some random, computer generated error on a routine play. I know that happens in real baseball, but it's frustrating when it happens randomly in a baseball videogame. I'd rather the error be due to something I did (or didn't) do, like offline throws.

Brent, do yourself a favor and download the MLB 2K10 demo to see how much better the game plays now. The players moved and threw so fast that it felt unnatural and now they have a nice rhythm to their movements because you can actually see the animations play out now. It's fun to play in the infield again.

Is anyone still playing this? The second patch has really made this a much better-playing game.
