Major League Baseball 2K10 New Screenshots (1-25-10)

[jeffy777]

These screens show the camera options in 2K9, there were 10 different height levels and 10 different zoom levels

Same options were available for pitching, plus you could move it from side to side and adjust the position:

So all in all, it had very flexible camera options. That was one of the things VC did right last year. This year should have the same camera options I would think.

Looking at the screenshots posted from 2K9, it's rotation-based, not position-based.

What I meant was... is it more like holding the camera still and bending up and down (re-positioning), or is it like keeping it stationary and going from eye-level then rotating down to your feet, for instance (rotating).

It's cool though, I'm sure there's something that we could all find. I really just wish they worked on some of those visuals though, because they are having some issues there. We have irrelevant things on the screen (the whole bottom quarter basically), the score overlay is far too low and should probably be at the top of the screen, and I honestly think that either the crowd is truly low-resolution in the outfield (as I saw in the stadium pictures a couple weeks back), or the resolution lowers as you see further away visuals in general.

Haha no worries, I was just wondering how the camera option worked.

Think of it like this... think of a camera on a tripod. You can adjust the actual height, like have the height's position increase or decrease. You can do that, and you can also zoom with the camera of course. Finally, you can also take the tripod and rotate the camera wherever you want. Up, down, left, right, etc.

Basically, I want to be able to eliminate the bottom part of the screen because that space is wasted and irrelevant, but I don't really want to change the angle too much (as people have said, it's been lowered overall as an angle, which is kind of nice).

Just zooming in should be what you are looking for then.

But that will cut off more of the top and change the depth of field.

I just wish they thought a little more about how they did their camera set up.

Is this anything like what you are looking for?

Nope, I definitely want to see the plate. Like I said, I don't want to rotate the camera, just raise the height.

I mean no one can say that 2K10's default camera makes any sense, neither did 2K9's.



2K8's camera makes sense:







Aside from the score overlay being too low (and disappearing after the ball was put in play), the stationed position made sense. Sure, we could maybe lower the angle if we wanted or control the depth of field, but why on earth would we have a camera where so much of the dirt behind home plate and the batter's feet is shown, and yet some actual relevant information is getting cut off the top and behind the score overlay in 2K10?

I mean obviously I'm complaining to complain right now. If we can adjust camera settings to eliminate the battiness on the developers' end, I'm sure that will be fine. But on the other hand, it makes me wonder what the fielding cam is like, or if they've improved the pitching cam options, or if the demo will turn me off because I can't change the options, etc. It's more of a question of... why? I hope that makes sense.
