MLB 2K10

[Weebs]

I'm just confused.  I thought The Show was awesome covered in chocolate sauce?  Why would you want to play 2K's game, even if you think the controls are good, given that The Show is "the" baseball experience?  Are The Show's controls wonky or something?

Also:  Thanks for posting the article.

The Show is by far the better game.  BY FAR.  But it's still no MVP 2005, so my search for MVP 2010 continues.

And your search is taking you to MLB 2K10?  Evan Longoria is not the savior you've been looking for.

My search will likely take me to both--yes, BOTH--options that I have.  Other than The Bigs, which is actually pretty good.

I've been buying the 2K games every year, expecting them to get better, but this is the year I stop.  I actually think the character models are better in 2K, at least until you have to see the player's face.

Maybe I will, too.  That might be the only thing that teaches them how badly their butts stink.

There have already been talks in some recent corporate report from 2K that the baseball franchise might get shut down because of poor sales.  They've already done it with several of their other sports franchises, and I can't imagine the sales will improve at all this year, and will probably fall even further.

I don't understand how 2K can make quality games like NHL 2K and NBA 2K, but put out a turd like MLB 2K.  Aren't the graphics engines the same?

The graphics have never been my complaint about 2K baseball.  It's the gameplay engine that is broken beyond repair.

You mean the robot animations when the players try to field a ball?  Or fly balls going right through you?  Or the weird animation transitions (from swing to trot to run, etc.)?  That shit hasn't been fixed since they started making them.

NHL 2k is absolutely awful.

That stuff didn't happen to me, though I didn't play much.  I just want realistic ball-bat physics, and I don't want every single game to suddenly and inexplicably turn into a home run derby in about the 7th inning.

You should probably play a real game of baseball then.

Oh, do you still play?  Because I did this fall.

Just don't ask how I did in the games I played.

Terribly!  Turns out, I'm old now.  I can still pick it at first, though.  And by "it" I mean "my nose."

Well this is an intriguing reason to buy 2K10:

2K Sports is offering a $1 million prize to the first player to throw a perfect game in MLB 2K10, laying down the bounty as a statement of confidence in the authenticity of their game's revamped pitching controls.

The million-dollar prize is believed to be the largest ever offered for this type of contest - a skill-based challenge, rather than a random drawing. 2K Sports isn't putting up the money believing its game is so tough that no one can meet the challenge. It fully expects someone to pitch a perfect game - retiring all 27 batters without a single one reaching base by any means - and cash in during the contest period from March 2 (the game's date of release) and May 2.

It doesn't say if it has to be a specific team/pitcher, or what difficulty/sliders need to be set at, but it's a pretty cool idea.  I think I threw a perfect game once in MLB 2K8, but I believe that was also the game where every player had the plate discipline of Korey Patterson and would swing at a curveball low and away.

Maybe use the $1MM to upgrade your shitty engine, douchebags.
