    Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

    The animations are smoother but sometimes they aren't appropriate to the situation. For instance, on a grounder to second, the second baseman does a 360 spin and winds up to throw to short, but he's about 5 feet away from 2nd. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, it looks odd, especially with the ball coming out so slowly when the thrower looks like he's about to hum it.

    I do like the new stealing animations, with the slow motion feel. Does anyone know if the CPU is throwing for you? I had a guy steal on me but It didn't feel like I arranged the throw.

    After 3 games, I'd definitely say this is 2K's best baseball offering yet. Lots of nice things happening in the gameplay, especially with hitting and pitching.

      How does the new the defensive swing feel? Does it make sense when you are approaching certain counts?

            The game feels good so far. Physics are much improved in terms of the trajectory of the ball off the bat. Defensive swings are a nice addition; There's a much better sense of control at the plate and mound. Homeruns seem realistic and contextual unlike last years game. Graphics to me are underwhelming, especially in comparison to 'The Show's' stellar graphics. Statistics are robust and more importantly useful. Graphics are dramatically improved from 2K9 but that's not saying much at all. If 'The Show' had 2K's control scheme as an option it would be the perfect game to me. Batting stances look great... much improved and quite accurate.

              PROS:
              Pitching is great
              I for one love the defensive swing. I managed to get CC to throw 26 pitches without getting a run.
              Fielding is much improved

              CONS:
              Still a homerun fest. I've hit atleast 3 in every demo
              Outfielders play way to deep, get to the lines way to fast... so much for doubles.
              CPU still hacks at everything.

              Much improved, and still a mess.

                I thought it worked pretty well in 2 strike counts. I used it a bit. Fouled the majority of pitches off while using this but also a couple of ground outs to the third baseman. Using this lead to some pretty long at batswhere i was able to work the pitch count.

                  Cool thanks. I would assume from time to time you can still mange a base hit with the defensive swing.

                    I think it does. This is the first time I am able to actually work the count and see pitches better, and I am very impatient at the plate. It just comes easy for me. i'm not sure if it's because of the camera or the help from the pitch locater. The hit stick is very responsive, so when you do have a deep count, it does help to chop it away. You just have to make sure your timing is on. That's probably the hard part, timing.

                    It makes sense to use it when you should. It's not something that is substantial on its own, but it does what it was put in place for.

                        I have to disagree there. I have struck out several just looking and this is with no slider adjustment. This is something they have fixed and it's obvious when you pitch correctly. After last year, and doing so much to try and fix that issue on my own, this demo shows they fixed the CPU swinging at everything issue.

                        I'm getting high counts and several batters looking at strikes. And that's just 3 games in.

                          Impressions sound very good. Can't wait to get home from work to try it. Quick question. ...... is that stupid dust cloud trail when running gone?

                            Love what i'm playing...I love the new steal, how they slow it down when sliding into the base. thought that was pretty cool. Only played 1 game, due to my son waking up and wanting something to eat, then not wanting to go back to sleep. So i'll have to get back on it when he goes to sleep.

                            On defense, I keep forgetting I can preload my throw, and it makes the animation look so much better. The Yanks turned a nice DP on me. Wish I could replay it myself. I'm officially hype about this game now, and glad I pre-orderded it.

                                Demo played good for me.. I liked the "Hip hip Jor-hee" chants in the background..

                                I liked that 2k also slowed down the gameplay from last year a little..

                                Pitch counts seemed realistic too.. The AI had 35 pitches in 3 innings..
