Stadiums look flat out amazing!!

And am I the only one that thinks the comparison pics of Pujols are flip-flopped? He looks better in the 2k9 pic vs the 2k10 pic, but he's the only one. I swear they are flipped.

Looking good. Now to see the animations.

I thought the same thing with the pujols picture. Then when I read they re-did a bunch of player head-shots I realized though he looks good in 2k9 his head/face is too small & now looks much more realistic for 2k10

And here comes the hype!

Very, very impressive first outing for MLB 2k10. Player models and such look a little rough around the edges close up (face models still look ehh), but if the game looks as impressive in motion as those still shots of the stadium do, sign me up!

And some AI tidbits, because if the batters still swing at almost everything near the zone, this shows over before anything even gets started. I sure hope the batter/pitcher AI was completely scrapped and reworked from the ground up for 2K10. As it is now though, I can't wait to see more. Bring it on

I'm very impressed with those screens, but until I know for sure that the pitcher/batter duel has been sorted I'll still be apprehensive.

Some powerful tendency sliders wouldn't go astray...

Now like everyone else, I want more info! Great job baiting the hook so far 2K.

just that the pic on the left looks cleaner.

In any event, the graphics are looking good this year. Hopefully the gameplay and animations follow suit.

The only thing that seems unsettling to me is that the pics that are being released and the ones in this write-up do not appear to come from the same vein. I really hope there is no bait and switch going on here.
