I literally can not get into an online match with anybody and have encountered all kinds of problems. Right now there is a network problem.

I pray that nobody was as foolish as me. This game sucks.
 
that's why they have that million dollar thing, so people buy it. luckily doesn't sound like people are!!
 
I had considered buying it because I want a baseball game. But I couldn't get myself to buy it. 2k baseball games have the worst quality reputation of any brand I can think of. How is it?

Don't complain. Only helps your chances at that $1,000,000, right?

I was done with the 2K series after NHL 2K6 for the 360 would freeze the game after EVERY franchise game. Last I heard it never did get a patch to fix it. $60 to play exhibit games, this is why I roll my eyes and come and defend EA Sports when spew shit about EA Sports.

Seriously. Let's all stop buying that piece of crap. I'll admit. They suckered me in for a few years, especially when they said they were bringing Ben Brinkman on board. But that didn't do much, and the series is just...blah.

[quote name='slickkill77']Get over it man.[/QUOTE]

Never. MVP or bust.
 
I was always partial to the High Heat series back in the days I was on the IGN PS2 Insider boards. It took me awhile to switch over to MVP 05 at the end of my PS2 playing days. I had some fun with MLB 2K7 on the 360, but then in 2008 I found The Show.
 
I bought mlb 2k10 and I am really enjoying it. I haven't played online yet, and don't plan to for awhile. Im playing franchise and My player now.
 
I'm tempted to buy it using a $20 giftcard, but thats another $40+ i'll have to spend additionally on what is considered the 2nd best mlb game released...probably not worth it.
I dont have a ps3 so to get my baseball fix i'm considering mlb 10 the show for PSP or dusting off my old ps2 which hasnt been used in years. But cant play online, which would be my only purpose of getting the game. mvp 05 or even mvp ncaa being backward compatible would be ideal, but that will never happen. Kind of funny that they would make mvp 03 and mvp 04, even wsb 2k3 all backwards compatible then stop there for baseball games.
 
Honestly, I really wanted to buy MLB 2K10 just because I haven't had a baseball game since 2K7 IIRC. Since I don't have a PS3 at the moment, it is the only option. However, until 2K stops releasing bugged-out shit I am done with them.
 
I was skimming through the review on GameSpot and except for the online issues, this actually sounds like it might not be too bad. I see there are some issues with the fielding and baserunning, but they seem like something that be alleviated with proper sliders. Might have to rent it from GameFly.
 
Game is actually not that bad. Sure it cant even hold a candle to The Show but on its own, it's probably the best baseball game on the 360 yet (not saying much since 2k6-2k9 sucked hard). I'd say if you dont have a PS3 and really want a baseball game, it'd be worth it if your into the my player mode or franchise mode.
 
for all the people just wanting a baseball game, but havn't played one in a few years
just pick up an older version of The Show or 2k. Seriously, buying the newest baseball game should only be done if you do so every year. I find a way to get the newest 2k baseball game each year because I have a 360.
But 2k8 and 2k9 were not so horrible that I've not considered rebuying one of them to get my baseball fix. They weren't perfect, but they are playable.

What? 2k9 is considered by many to be the worst baseball games of all time.
 
The reviews for 2k10 have been somewhat decent. I plan on picking up a copy when I can find it for ~$40, or my turn comes up on Goozex. Hopefully, that will be around opening day, when I really start to get the itch...Go Cardinals!
 
I am constantly amused at the people who suggest people to "just buy The Show" on a 360 forum about a 360 game. How hard is it to understand that not everyone has both systems?

As for me I do have both and I bought both games because they are both worthy purchases. Is The Show better? Of course. But 2K10 is a totally different game than 2K7-9 and has gotten more of my playing time while Sony works out all the franchise bugs with The Show. Unfortunately if you like playing online then yes, 2K10 sucks right now but it should be fixed soon.
 
[quote name='wildcpac']What? 2k9 is considered by many to be the worst baseball games of all time.[/QUOTE]
Really? I couldn't even get through a game of 2k6-7, but I thought 2k8 and 2k9 were much better. what did everyone hate about 2k9 so much?
 
While it seems like it's a good improvement over the trainwreck that was 2K9, there are still plenty of small things VC has to work on and it seems like they're slowly trying to get to those things.

Just from a few games in My Player and Franchise modes:

-Players on third in a sacrifice fly situation constantly get off the base when a fly ball is hit into the air so that I have to send them back to third so they can then run home. They should stay on third base unless I say otherwise in that situation.
-Basemen don't react so well to infield pop ups, as I had another guy just take too long to react and get back for an easy double play. I shouldn't have to babysit these guys that much.
-Had an opposing outfielder just stop when running to a fly ball to let it drop when he had time to get the catch.
-Player models need a lot of work, as fat guys look like they have eerily tiny heads or they look like all of the skinny players (Johnny Peralta is not a skinny guy as any Indians fan will tell you despite being an SS for most of his career).
-Animations are sketchy at times, as Westbrook did that one type of throw that SS's do when they have to go deep to get a ground ball and leap to throw it back to 1B, but that also happened for guys who should never ever do that (mostly 1B and P).
-Jake Westbrook looks like a Latino player with a large skin rash on the back of his neck. This is what he really looks like

and this is kind of what he looked like in the game

.
-Your My Player character doesn't have to look like the weight you pick, so you can have a 300 pound twig if you want, though I'd say the player creator as a whole is bad with limited options for hair/facial hair and tweaking the small details on your face. Your hat isn't even taken off when picking your hair, so it's just bald, straight, curly, or braided hair that sticks out of the hat.
-The player info/stats on the big screens aren't shown in full screen, so it's hard to even see them in stadiums with smaller screens.

Overall, it's an improvement and I really like the pitching controls. I even kept Jake Westbrook in for nine innings after giving up four in the first because I could adapt to the shrinking time you're allowed the longer he's in the game to perform the stick motions more quickly. He got 12 K's and we ended up winning in the 12th inning as my pitching was unbeatable for the rest of the game. I'm really not a fan of the menus and how everything is hidden on the right stick menu, which seems like an attempt to make some clever menu system that didn't need to be changed in the first place.

My Player seems to copy almost everything that Road to the Show offers minus the smaller things and the overall polish that Sony's been able to do for the past five years that it's been a big focus for their series. It just feels like 2K's trying to tell me what my player's story is rather than letting me handle that myself, so I noted that I was somehow a top draft pick despite picking the organization to join myself along with being put into a game right after the draft occurred at the bottom of the ninth.

I actually liked that. Gave you a feel for a pressure packed moment. The game tells you that you just made it to wherever your Double-A team is, and that you're needed. Somewhat implausible, but it could happen.
 
Game prices drop so fast these days it's not worth paying full price, especially for a MLB 2k10.

2K10 is an imrproved game over the last few years versions but it's still full of bugs and online issues. I bet this game will be $39.99 before opening day.

I think it's time to just end this madness and stop making baseball. 2K is shelving hockey this year so why not baseball?

Cause they paid for the exclusive rights to the third party MLB license. I doubt they'll just sit on it even if there games are terrible.
 
Yeah, they have 100% of the market on non-Sony systems, so they at least have the people that have to buy a new baseball game each year to appeal to. They definitely won't be renewing their exclusive license since it's been a sinkhole for them financially.

It's too bad that Microsoft went to the trouble of buying the High Heat name and engine from 3DO before they stopped making sports games all together.

No, too much hyperbole.

How about, "That's like saying SPAM is better than TREET."
 
here's some advice, stop buying sports titles at launch and wait for a big price drop or to find it cheaper as used. they decrease in value quick, never much changes every year.

NHL 10 Released in September 2009-currently $59.99 new at Gamestop, 49.99 used. Same deal with Madden 10 and NBA Live 10. The quality ones seem to hold their price a little longer, so I'm not sure how spot on that advice is.
 
2k baseball series has always been subpar. then they got the mvp baseball developer for 2k7 and was hyped to make great improvements. Yet it has stagnated or gotten worse for each game since. I realize 2k10 has improved, but mlb the show has overtaken them over that time. Unfortunately no ps3 for me otherwise i wouldnt be wasting my time or money with the 2k series. If they dropped the launch price to $30 maybe, but we know that wont happen. Its kind of unfortunate with mlb2k because the nba2k series and even nfl2k series when they had it have turned out great games. Like I have done the past couple yrs I'll probably with till the end of the season and year when gamefly has mlb2k10 for under $10

I was thinking the same thing. Quality sports titles hold really high *short term value compared to other titles.

*6-9 months after release
 
Man I just played today's Red Sox/Rays spring training game and it ended up going 15 innings! Beckett and Shields dueled it out for about eight innings or so, but I mis-managed my bullpen to where Delcarmen was starting his fourth inning of relief when Matt Joyce hit a walk-off shot to lead off the bottom of the 15th. I actually should have gone ahead in the ninth on a wild pitch but at the last second I pushed up on the controller which sent Youk back to third.

Perfect mix of extra-base hits, strikeouts and walks for both teams, with 2 solo shots accounting for 2/3 of the runs.
