A few other things worth mentioning; full gameplay sliders are available within the mode, you can turn CPU trading on/off in the mode, along with getting trade and injury notifications for your organization. You can make and play in the Futures Game with your player when you are in the Minors and you can also make and play in the All Star Game and Home Run Derby once you are in the Majors.

All of this made me happy.

That sucks then. If you're a hitter and want to break the HR record, you'd have to average 50+ HR to do so. And you'd have to average 200 hits a year to reach 3000. Oh well still looks amazing!

That's an interesting point. It's not a BIG deal but still interesting.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but it says on 2K site:

"NEXT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL 2K10 DEVELOPER INSIGHT: Fielding by Jonathan Rivera - Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010"

Maybe the max years in the MLB can be modded by the community.

Hope so... 15 years just isn't long enough.

wonder what the average MLB player's career is? 5-6 years maybe?

So you're saying that you'd have to consistently be one of the best players of all-time to break an all-time record? How disappointing.

I think what he's saying is that it's impossible for a player to hit 50+ HRs every year of their MLB career. Ya know ? Also, he's sayin' 15 years isn't enough years to allow anyone to break any career records unless you do what's literally impossible.

To some extent, you're right. A 20 year career would make infinitely more sense. But I'm just pointing out that it SHOULDN'T be that easy to break a record that will possibly hold for decades once A-Rod is out of the game.

Not the average hall-of-famer's career though, which is supposedly the primary goal in this mode. So in that sense, the "average" career doesn't matter as the point of the mode is to be more than that.

Still, while I think 15 years is indeed too short, it's important to remember this is the is the first year of the mode and it seems to be quite deep overall. The user seems to get a good deal of options both on and off the field here.

I'd rather have 15 years of a great experience than 25 years of a poor one.

I think you guys are going border line between The greatest ever to play the game or making the Hall of Fame. Yeah 15 years is short, but you could still do damage, Hall of fame isnt always Individual glory IMO .. It will be interesting to see us post our careers and stats. I think it will be interesting

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - My Player, Part II

It will be really interesting to see what people's stats will be at the end of 15 years. I hoped it would have been longer though.
