Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insight: MLB Today

Here's one that really shows nba today because you can see the stat overlays:

I didn't have time to read the article, so maybe it said, but how does commentary update? I doubt they sit in a booth and record lines all year, so Im curious on how it updates with real life events.

All in all, this sounds like a very, very, cool feature

Really wish they would have mentioned if they tighten-up the RTP.

This feature is revolutionizing the sports gaming industry. Those videos were fun to watch.

Does anyone know if real-time atmosphere is back? Seems like NBA 2K10 has it...

It's scripted lines..that gets fit into what's happening within your franchise.
It's pretty good stuff.
Even with this...you hear some repeated commentary....but it is this kind of thing I love....dynamic to your franchise...incorporating events in "your world".
Very cool.

Heck...even with no manage only mode for 2K10...I might just do some GM stuff....and let the games go CPU vs. CPU to see how this franchise and MLB Today content works out.

Nice job!

That has nothing to do with MLB Today though. I believe it was said there would be a presentation insight too, so I'd imagine it wold be covered there. I'm anxious to see what they've done with it too.

As for MLB Today, as I said in the other thread (the one Steve conveniently deleted) it's likely to be THE big non game-play feature to draw people in.

I LOVE how they mentioned they'd use so many splits and series, season, and matchup stats. I also really dug the overlays in that Longoria pic...really had a "live broadcast" feel. It's finally starting to look like a good old-fashioned VC sports game...which is never a bad thing. Let's just hope they did as well with the game play...then I think we'll all have plenty to be happy about this baseball gaming season!

Well in watching 20 seconds of that clip, I like what they're doing, but it sounded a bit slow and choppy. Reminded me of those voice messages left on my house phone when I'm reminded of a scheduled doctor appointment.

It varies with those guys. There are MUCH smoother transitions, etc.

I personally think the commentary (in terms of "flow") was much better in MLB 2K9 than the 2K basketball series...so I'm thinking MLB Today will less instances of that measured choppiness.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insight: MLB Today

This is a great addition to 2K baseball. I can't wait..........

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Developer Insight: MLB Today

The only thing is how it's going to match up with the stats/standings and such.

In NBA2K....I get some funky lines about stats(including the 0 points one for guys that haven't been in the game)....so hopefully they have that worked out well.

Blzer...I know what you mean..it does sound stunted in some cases....robotic almost.
Again..I hope they implement it a little better in MLB2K.
It's a nice start though.(NBA....MLB...TBD )
