    It is always worthwhile to compare different elements of competing games and the visuals are initially the easiest to do so. I went ahead and grabbed screenshots of 20 popular MLB players in order to judge how well their faces were rendered in MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10. The screenshots were captured using the same method so as to eliminate any difference in quality produced by the screenshot features of the particular games. Continue on to check out 10 of the players up against each oth...

    The patch for MLB 2K10 has gone live on the Xbox 360 and the prompt to download will be presented when starting up the game. The most high profile changes that arrive with this patch include the addition of check swings, adjustments to manager AI on pulling pitchers, and fixing of the problem that has been preventing online ranked games from being played. Unfortunately it appears the PS3 version is being neglected as 2K Sports is unwilling to commit to a patch and may be planning to roll the c...

    2K Sports has released the details of the upcoming patch for MLB 2K10. The patch is currently in certification for the Xbox 360 and should be out within the next two weeks barring any complications being encountered during the process. (Update) The patch is expected to be released as early as tomorrow. The patch adds in check swings, attempts to fix the problem of CPU pitchers staying in the game beyond reasonable pitch counts, and supposedly will resolve the major issue that has prevented ...

    While MLB 10: The Show gamers lament the fact that a patch won't even start being worked on until the end of the month, 2K Sports has announced that they have completed a patch for MLB 2K10 and have submitted it to Microsoft for certification. That means it should be arriving within the next two weeks barring complications in the certification process. Details on what the patch entails have not been provided. Hopefully it includes toned down fielder arm strength, will fix the issue preventi...

    After investigating the issue previously reported on, 2K Sports now states that the fix to online play will be coming via patch. That means that ranked games, at least on a frequent basis, could be largely inaccessible for at a minimum of a few weeks. More likely it will be well over a month under the assumption that they roll it into the first gameplay patch. To give an idea of the severity of this online problem had it been discovered by Microsoft and Sony then MLB 2K10 would have failed ...

    As I continue to play the new baseball titles and collect general and online impressions I’ve also recorded some videos from MLB 2K10 that I figured would be worth posting up. In this group of videos there are two focusing on gameplay, one with the first inning of Padres @ Diamondbacks and the other an inning of Astros @ Pirates. There is also a video with my first appearance made in My Player mode in the pressure situation. Continue on to check out the videos and leave your thoughts ...

    I've been looking forward to testing out the online play for the new baseball titles given that they have struggled performance wise in the past. MLB 2K9 actually ran relatively well online so I had hope that would be the case again this year but issues abound already for MLB 2K10. (more…)...
  • MLB 2K10 Hard Drive Evaluation

    With MLB 2K10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. For MLB 2K10 the actual install process took 10:50 which is the longest install time to date and has produced marginal improvements to loading times. (more…)...
