Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

Nice to get some more video, I like what I see here. Even though this is a marketing "sizzle" trailer I can see some improvements to the game in animations and graphics. Overall the ballparks look pretty nice too!

Being a Padre fan in San Diego it was nice to see a quick shot of Petco Park (why is longoria shown, should be A. Gonzalez).

Anyway, last year in 2K9 Petco looked ok but it had the wrong signage on the Western Metal Supply building in left field (it was Alan's supply or something).

It looks like they fixed that, but I can't tell for sure because it's so dark. However, I was also interested to see if they fixed the field dimensions this year because last year the right-center wall was still at 411 ft, and they have moved in the fences to 401 ft. So I ran the YouTube video at 720P and full-screen and I can see that they did not fix the fences--still 411

Also, it would be nice if they put the Tony Gwynn statue in the park-in-the-park out there beyond right-center but the video is too blurry to tell.

Anyway, looking pretty good.

Just a sizzle trailer, but really enjoyed it and can see some of the improvements. Really liking the improved animations/stadiums, as well as the head tracking. Looks really good

Really want some game play video's, but the trailer looked good . The stadiums looked really good, looks like the animations improved too. The bat sounds sound better except that last one it sounded like that bamboo sound again. I know last year the trailer had better sounding bats but we all know how that turned out. Well just looking forward to some real game play vids

Put me in the boat as well. I mean i dont trust 2k as far as i can throw them. Dont get me wrong its nice to see the Graphics and the new Stadiums so i dont mind the trailer, guess i am just impatient to see actual gameplay since i havent had played a baseball game for a long time.

After looking more closely at the video, it appears they have not corrected the name on the Western Metal building. I don't know why there would an issue with the name. 2K8 had it right and the other game too. Maybe there's still time to correct these details. One can hope...

Great trailer...however if you look at the scoreboard when the Mariners are playing the Twinss the mariners side is not correct...Ichiro #2, Bradley #5 Griffey #33 and playing first base if I recall. The Twins side looks good rom what I gathered...i hope this is fixed!

At second look, the only thing that's different on the Mariners lineup are their names. The numbers and positions are the same as the Twins lineup. Hopefully that bug will be fixed by the time it's gold.

A sign of lighting. When the Orioles ballpark is shown, the lights are on, and the sky seems like it's just about ending its sunset. check it out!

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

Saw it in HD and the stadiums look Great ! but the players still cheese me off as parts look misproportioned , maybe its a depth perception thing kinda of like the overdone background blur.
I always loved 2ks in game music and the player movement and animations looked good at least on the trailer.
Cant wait for the demo as it will show us more .

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

I don't think the 1st baseman will ever stretch for a throw in this series. It's been like this for years, which IMO is pretty dissapointing. Another thing I hate to see still in there is that ugly homerun swing that Mark Texeira did. Ichiro still doesn't do his running swing(not sure any game has gotten this right since MVP though).

Overall, the animations look better, so do the graphics. Like others have said it's just a trailer, and it won't effect my decision, but I'm glad it's out because that will just mean more info sooner.

It seems like the stretch is tied into the effort of the throw instead of the proximity of the runner. At least it used to be. If you didn't max out the throw and Juan Pierre was running and it was a close play the first baseman wouldn't stretch, but if you maxed out a throw to say Frank Thomas, who was 30 feet off the bag, you'd get a stretch.

The logic should be based soley on how close the runner is to first and whether or not it's going to be a close play. Then they need several animations so that the first baseman can stretch to balls in several different locations so we don't always see the same stretch animation.

Didn't know that. I agree with you the logic is flawed there.

I'm not 100% sure that is the way it is, but there was a discussion on it a while ago (can't remember if it was here or at the 2K boards) and that was what the consensus came up with...and honestly that was probbaly 2K7 or 2K8, so it may have changed last year (I played so little of it, I don't remember if it was an issue or not)...hell I'm not even sure if that was the logic, but it seemed to be the common factor almost all of the time if I recall.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

I like the graphical and lighting improvements to the stadiums but I can't get past the stiff claymation like fielding animations

If they could get the fielding animations to flow more smooth and natural like "The Show" then I would seriously give it a chance

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Sizzle Trailer

Like some people have said, trailer looks impressive. It looks like they really did put some time into it. Now lets see if it will run smooth with minimal glitching. Pretty good so far.
