Re: Major League Baseball 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)
Played a couple of games this morning and can say the game appears to be much better than last years mess. I shelved 2K9 after about a week.
Pros:
Got a couple of called third strikes, one with Halladay with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the third and no score. Nice to see that. I've seen called strikes while pitching as well as batters chasing out of the zone. Not seeing the extreme batter aggressiveness I saw last year that ruined the game for me. I was able to work the count to 3-2 several times with borderline pitches.
Saw a takeout slide into 2nd base which broke up a double play while I was batting. Runner upended the second baseman.
Really like the swing analyzer.
I messed badly on a couple of pitches, actually reversed the motion and saw "wild pitch" flash across the screen and threw the ball to the backstop. Good to see that it didn't result in a meatball right down the middle as in years past.
Cons:
While batting I hit into a couple of double plays where the shortstop fielded the ball while very near 2nd base. Instead of just running to 2nd and stepping on it then throwing to 1st he like hands the ball to the 2nd baseman who then threw to 1st. Not very realistic and I did see it a couple of times.
Not seeing very many foul balls. I am hoping for a slider adjustment as I am concerned about pitch counts.
Infield dirt bugged me a bit with the how the dark and light brown shading was done. Not very graphically appealing but certainly not a game killer.
All in all the game appears better than last years, I just don't know if I want to buy 2 baseball games this year.Originally posted by ImTellinTimComment

I had a great situation where I was sure I was going to get a crap pitch on 0-2, and it came in just close enough to worry me, so I tapped right on the stick and (I think it was with Werth) he knocked a little looper just over the first baseman's head for a single.
Other times, I was just trying to foul it off on purpose to test the swing and I would knock slow dribblers to first or third.
Seems like a pretty good mechanic, and a faster swing than contact, it seemed.Comment

Most things I've felt have been touched on but here's a couple things I noticed.
I had a 3-0 count with swisher I think it was and in the top right corner it said he was a .445 hitter with 1 hr with a 3-0 count. Took a strike and it adjusted to .370 with 2 hr in a 3-1 count. Thought that was pretty cool. One bad thong I saw: caught in a pickle shoulda been out by a mile at second but jeter slid around the tag and the second baseman just stood there. This happened alot in 2k9 which is kind of a bummer.
All in all though liked what I've seen.2016 NLL Champion Saskatchewan Rush

That pitch analyzer is nice. I didn't realize you could zoom in on it, play it in slow motion and even change the camera. Not bad at all. Nice touch.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

IMO the pitch/hitter battles are well done and fixed from last year and this is on default. So I'm optimistic that this can be nailed down.
Played 1 game. I was Halladay and the Yanks threw CC. Victorino had the only hit in the game that ended up 0-0 after 3 innings. CC threw 40+ pitches and Halladay threw around 36. Maybe that's a little low but I found the pitching to be a good test using Breakpoint and most importantly throwing to the catcher's suggestions or at least in the same vicinity.
The catcher suggestions are much better this year and more aligned with the hitter's weak spots/pitches.
Other positives:
The colors don't seem washed out.
Hitter's Eye is great
I actually like the batter camera
Outfield play
Presentation
Opportunities for improvement:
-2k needs to redo all of the infielder animations for next year. They're very jerky and twitchy. See FIFA 10, NHL 10, or Backbreaker to understand the importance of physics and weight and how to implement them into a game.
The 1st baseman to pitcher covering first is appalling to watch. Maybe the silver lining is that the INF Speed slider will help smooth this out.
One other thing I did notice was Posada swinging on a 3-0 curveball. This is not good and/or realistic IMO.Comment
