2K10 demo is pretty solid

2/28/2010 8:34:09 PM

Today's the day

Anyone play 162 game seasons without simming?

I always make it to August or so and peter out

3/2/2010 10:24:52 AM

how long does the average single player game take?



i think the last full season i ever played in a baseball game was on Ken Griffey MLB. My buddy and i spent an entire weekend (pre real internet) finding out all of the major league rosters and editing them into the game. Then spent a large majority of the summer playing through the entire season and playoffs. I believe we were the astros.

45 to an hour

Even if you're a fringe baseball game, you owe it to yourself to get this as a PS3 owner

Its the best sports game on the market...makes Madden, Fifa and 2K look like baby stuff in comparison

3/2/2010 10:33:00 AM

cool, i may pick it up

3/2/2010 10:52:11 AM

yea haven't owned a baseball game in years... buttttt i think i'm going to pick this up. looks realll good.

I'm going to make a video and send it to them, with me turning on the TV, logging in, starting the game in 'Perfect Game' mode, throwing a perfect game into the 2nd inning...

...then BAM...slowly my penis will enter the picture from the left side.

Just so some douche at 2K will have to watch it.

3/2/2010 11:34:55 AM

hahahaha that would be great. or have your TV switch over "on its own" to full on anal porn or some other sick shit and then you just put the controller down and start fapping off to the side

3/2/2010 11:39:24 AM

that sucks for anyone who turns the game on not really trying to make it happen then they get it and can't win

3/2/2010 12:11:31 PM

ha picked up the show on my lunch break.

now i'll be counting down harder than usual till 5pm

3/2/2010 12:24:29 PM

Played a couple innings over lunch

I knew the default difficulty was too easy when I blasted a 420 bomb with Casey Kotchman off Ben Sheets

Moving up to Legendary this year

3/2/2010 1:34:48 PM

picked up the show and 2k10 today. The show is way better but ive only played one game...been busy updating minor league rosters and adding custom into music for everyone, and custom stadium music.

3/2/2010 2:39:24 PM

getting 2k10 tomorrow

3/2/2010 2:40:12 PM

2K10 isnt that good...feels a lot like 2k9 with slightly improved graphics.

3/2/2010 2:43:40 PM

Curious as to why you would buy both

Once I determined one was clearly superior, I couldn't imagine going back and playing the lesser one

[Edited on March 2, 2010 at 2:50 PM. Reason : x]

3/2/2010 2:50:22 PM

YES.

3/2/2010 3:37:45 PM

i want to try out the My Player on 2k10...i like their pitching system, too.


Ive been playing the show all day..my eyes hurt.

3/2/2010 4:19:10 PM

I might have to pick up 2K10 because a) I don't have a PS3, and b) I am intrigued by the ^My Player option

3/2/2010 4:42:08 PM

I created 6'11" 255 Slovenian pitcher Primoz Brezec (6'11 was as tall as you could make him)

90 mph fastball, 77 mph 12-6 curve, and 50 mph eephus are his first 3 pitches I chose

his nickname is The Chosen One

3/2/2010 6:08:08 PM

2K10 has had decent reviews so far

Most of the gripes are about My Player and fielding

Simmed stats seem a bit wonky

Pitching and hitting are supposedly A+++

I'll probably pick it up this weekend

3/2/2010 6:27:07 PM

Ernie I didn't know you liked baseball

3/2/2010 6:43:30 PM

Can those who plan on picking up 2k10 soon let me know how they like it? I'm considering buying a new PSP and getting The Show '10 for that just I can have a baseball game to play.

3/2/2010 7:05:45 PM

I LOVE baseball, but I haven't played a baseball video game since MVP Baseball 2004, one of the greatest video games ever. I keep hearing a lot of great things about MLB 10 The Show for PS3, though. Is it worth it? Is 2K10 a better game in anyone's opinion? How realistic is the simulation? I don't usually like to play out the entire seasons...I like to simulate a lot and play the role of fantasy GM, but this is only fun if the stats are realistic. Would I enjoy The Show or 2K10?

3/2/2010 7:20:22 PM

I've only pitched a couple games in My Player mode in 2K10 but I like it...its a brand new game mode that no 2K game has had, so thats obviously a good thing...but I haven't even dipped into the regular gameplay so I can't say whether or not it seems like a repackaged 2K9

But the My Player mode is pretty cool...I just started my second game in DoubleA and threw a complete game shutout...6 hits, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts...I added the knuckleball to my repertoire after giving up 2 earned in my first game while striking out 7

I can definitely see myself doing this again with a position player or two...SO FAR I would say the My Player feature alone makes this game worth buying if you don't have a PS3...although if you have 2K9 and money is tight, it might not be worth the $60 to you

3/2/2010 7:28:51 PM

if you have a ps3

there is no reason for you to buy 2k10

no reason at all


its like buying a ferrari and saying, hey i might buy this ford fiesta because they both have tires

3/2/2010 8:30:43 PM

Haha, fair enough. So The Show is great, though?

3/2/2010 8:46:01 PM

yes it is great.

it makes madden and other sports games look like childs play

and 1080P is supported

3/2/2010 8:47:20 PM

would blockbuster have "the show 10" right now......don't have a lot of money until pay day.

3/2/2010 10:54:51 PM

Somehow this game (The Show) keeps getting better each year.

Home Run Derby is formatted just like the real one. A+. Watch the pitches, just like real-life, the pitches vary.

This game is enough reason for any baseball fan to buy a PS3 over Xbox.

3/2/2010 11:54:40 PM

damn they chop that shit up

heres the original

3/3/2010 1:35:18 AM

got the show yesterday. am i misunderstanding, or is there no way to do a full season multi-player online?

3/3/2010 8:34:39 AM

Smashed a shot into the bay in San Fran (with Aubrey Huff of all people) and it showed the splashdown and the in-stadium counter went from 50 to 51

Also played a game with the Mets and Reyes tore a hammy,, good thing it was just an exhibition

[Edited on March 3, 2010 at 9:05 AM. Reason : x]

3/3/2010 9:05:28 AM

i'm loving the show but is it me, or is the learning curve kinda big? it's probably just me

(i haven't played a baseball game in a long, long time)

3/3/2010 9:42:16 AM

^^even with the HGH he gets from that doctor he still gets hurt

3/3/2010 11:09:39 AM

hands down, best sports game ever made. by leaps and bounds (the show 10).

3/3/2010 11:09:56 AM

^You sir have never played Ken Griffey Jr Major League Baseball

3/3/2010 7:45:13 PM

yep, it is

but that's part of what makes it awesome

3/3/2010 8:32:54 PM

Road To The Show is really freakin' addicting. Cant pry myself away.
One more series....

3/3/2010 8:57:34 PM

somebody let me borrow the show. i'll trade you NCAA football 2009

3/3/2010 10:13:55 PM

I bought it yesterday and played a game. It is fun but damn pitch recognition is REALLY hard... I strike out way too much and have trouble working the count.

Pitching is pretty darn realistic. Johan had thrown 103 pitches in 7+ innings and left the game losing 3-1 to the Nationals!

I typically wait to start my franchise until I get the full minors from OS to download... I assume that'll be about a month. I'm sort of a "prospect guru" so I know a lot of the guys who most people have never heard of.

I LOVE the realism of having a Rule V draft, 40 man rosters, arbitration (Type A/B and compensation picks), September call-ups, etc, etc...

V i have no clue... I'll just go there every so often and d/l the one that is listed in the OS minors thread.

[Edited on March 4, 2010 at 9:44 AM. Reason : x]

3/4/2010 9:36:26 AM

Who's roster from OS? Knights, I'm assuming...his are the best

I'm really going to try to be more patient this year and work the count

Tired of having the likes of of John Lannan throw 67 pitch complete games against me

3/4/2010 9:43:22 AM

I finally broke down and bought a cheap PSP and the Show '10.

3/4/2010 11:56:26 AM

2k10..

hitting is hard and I'm waaaaaay too impatient. I seem to be early a lot. I don't remember hitting being this hard in 2k9.

anyway, anyone want to play in an online league? I don't know how it works and only saw it as an option in the main menu..

3/4/2010 12:39:26 PM

I would probably be down...yeah hitting is tricky but I think some of it is just rust...you just have to get your timing back after the long offseason...I hit my first 2 homeruns with my created 2nd baseman in My Player mode today...quite satisfying

3/4/2010 1:34:10 PM

^
I saw you had a perfect game going yesterday on xbox live and almost messaged you. Does the no speaking to the pitcher etiquette carry over to video games?

3/4/2010 1:41:29 PM

I probably only had it through 3 or 4 innings...Primoz Brezec is still learning the ropes

and the perfect game thing is ridiculous...check out Slave Famous' large quoted text block above for the requirements

edit:

according to the xbox.com forums, multiple people have already thrown perfect games and sent in the DVDs...oh well

3/4/2010 2:00:16 PM

if any 360 folks want to get in on an online league: message_topic.aspx?topic=589757

3/4/2010 7:14:31 PM

My Player is addictive in 2k10.... and i just played a 13 inning marathon against the Orioles in The Show. Had to save the highlights...was an incredible game.

3/4/2010 9:27:31 PM

RTTS is awesome... even though I'm a utility INF for AA Binghamton. Addicting...

"I'm assuming you have to play on default everything, highest difficulty.. still, i'm guessing with a couple thousand games sold (i have no idea how many they'll sell immediately) and everybody playing 10-20 games/week, somebody's bound to throw one pretty quick. right?"

They've probably got some cheater AI built in where if you're still pitching a perfect game and reach the 9th the computer AI is guaranteed a hit. Kinda like the wacky stuff that happens at the end of Heisman difficulty NCAA College Football games.
