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

The lighting is so much more improved compared to last year. I love how VC implemented transitional lighting in the demo I've seen some really incredible shadow/lighting changes not only from each game, but each inning.

It is amazing how much they cleaned up all the fielding and swinging animations I rarely have seen an animation from either type that was jerky or questionable. I had a mound visit with CC, and Joe Girardi came out wearing his Yankees team jacket and it was the most realistic manager model I have EVER seen in a video game.

What's with the four seamers? They fall off the table.

I don't have the demo, I was wondering if someone has fiddled with the difensive swing. Is there variety in the hit or it's 100% foul ball? Thanks.

Just wanted to give a big applause to 2k for a great effort in improving this game. We now know why this demo won't be released until after the release date on the PS3. I have only played one game and will get to play more tonight but it only took one inning to impress me enough that this game is leaps and bounds better than last years offering. Graphics are nice and all (which has improved) but show me the gameplay and 2k has delivered! I love the new batting camera and how smooth the fielding is now. Infact everything is much smoother and funner to play. I'm looking forward to the full release.

Depending on the hitter's attributes, using the defensive swing could result in either a foul ball, weak grounder, or even a strikeout. I was skeptical of the mechanic and thought it would be a cheap way to tire out the pitcher until you found a fat pitch to hit but I'm happy to say the mechanic is very well implemented from what I've briefly seen.

One more thing. The really big thing that is making me mad is the swings. If the batting is timing based only, then I want to put some wood on the bat if I time it correctly and it's in the zone. Too many times have I had good timing on a fastball down in the zone only to have my hitter swing no where near the ball. Overall, I'm really enjoying the demo just that one thing I don't like.
