eh, thats not what i been told. Even in NBA2K they said that we have used Image Metrics becuase they have worked with Rockstar and they had a relationship with them. To me that sounded like they were connected in someway.

Well, perhaps I'm wr..I mean..maybe I'm wrrr...What I'm trying to say is I could be Wrr...Wrr..

This was in 2K7, unsure about 2K8, and completely scrapped from 2K9.

Though even 2K7 had some weird red skies and such. From the Gamestop pics, it looks like this may be the best progressive lighting system put in a baseball game to date.

Oh, and the numbers look more than massive. They do need to address that. However I've seen games with tiny numbers (MLB 2K6), and I'd much prefer bigger numbers over smaller numbers. But, I'd also much prefer regular-sized numbers over bigger numbers.

I can answer:.

First question: no it won't be dark for the start of night games since it's near summer and the sun sets at a later time, also this depends on the location of the actual stadium too.

Yes, There is progressive lighting going thru all the times of day for many weather conditions.

Thanks.

This is great news. They also have weather. I also believe this is going to be the best progresive lighting for any baseball game.

That's pretty awesome. For "all the times of day", does that mean we can set the hour of day again this year for exhibition games? (like 1:00 AM, etc.)

I'm guessing you can since 2k7 had it. You could actually set the time for each exhibition game in 2k7.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - Art Direction

did anyone else realize that in 2k9 they had slim to none of the players eye colors right? they seemed to correct that in these screens i'm seeing, (Beckett instead of blue eyes in k9 he now has correct brown, Haren now blue instead of in 2k9 they were brown)
for lots of players Youk, Dice K, i'm sure a lot more..anyone else realize this? i know its small, but i was wondering if anyone else noticed it

Dont know if its was mentioned but the more I think of it most 2k sports games took a hit graphically and player model wise a few years ago do to a frame rate issues on/offline especially on the ps3 as they went from near perfect super sharp ,clear in NHL 2k8 and MLB 2k7 but with frame rate issues and then the next versions were washed out lower resoulution with better frame rate .

I'm a big fan of the little details, but eyes? When would you ever get the chance to notice this except for up close screen shots?

plenty of times. cut scenes. walking into the batters box. there were plenty of moments where you had close ups of the players.

Eh...I'm not as nitpicky as others, but this seems fairly simple. It's not asking for correct shapes, squint, bags, wrinkles, etc. We're talking getting the base color right...that's it...not even shades or variations of a color. Not a "game killer" or whatever, but it seems like a simple thing in order to keep immersion. No different than hair color or style, IMO.

Stadiums looking really good. I think I even saw a lot of empty seats in the top deck. Dynamic attendance?

I hope so that would be a nice touch, it would be cool, but doubt its in there is having people leave the stadium on a blow out.

NBA 2k10 has dynamic attendance, but it's just empty seats scattered around the arena. I'm waiting for 2k to have people leave during blowouts and at Land Shark Stadium the upper deck should have no fans up there.
