JoeRudi26 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 2K has released more than enough info (thanks Meastro) about their upcoming title, but it's strikingly obvious that they're not clueing us in on the most important aspect of the game. Not only was "game play" their major downfall last year, but they continue to dodge the obvious while trying to market their product so far this year. All this, with only a little over a month until the actual release. They've given us screenshots, a few writeups, and a game trailor. But no game play? Why not? I picked option #3. Other than a few minor changes, I have a feeling were going to be getting pretty much the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood70 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 How can anyone possibly answer this 6 weeks before it's even released? Once I've played several games, I'll pick an option. Speculating about what info they are releasing is kind of silly, isn't it? Wait and see, my friends.. It could be terrible, it could be great, it could be adequate.

Once you've played several games first, you can then answer as to why they won't release vids of the actual game play? Sounds like you missed the point.

JoeRudi26 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 That's a heavily edited trailer. I didn't want my post to sound overly negative, so I didn't say anything about the trailer. I just thought it was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm surprised you haven't dug up some game play footage yet, M. As much as you've been posting lately, I figured the vault was endless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGatto Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I guess if they give us half of those thing they stated and the game is the same, but everything actually works and games are playable maybe jusy maybe we can be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as you've been posting lately, I figured the vault was full. Man, if any real gameplay footage was out there, I would have posted it here for sure. It's amazing that so many over at 2K's site think that was actual gameplay footage. I've been trying to post everything I find for both games. As for Take 2... they have always been horrible at marketing their games and keeping their customer base informed. *I like the direction they are trying to go this year, but it all doesn't mean a hill of beans if the core gameplay is not there. :sorry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Z Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Gameplay video right here That's a trailer. I wanna see raw gameplay: a video of what a person would see holding the controller and playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxxfan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 i hope we can have a chance to see how the gameplay works about early to mid-february.. the only things i'm impressed about is the new franchise mode, player models (but i still doubt that the lighting and shadows wee see in the trailers is really as good in the game). i'm really hopeful about lessening the influence of the left stick would work nicely(last year it has too much influence regardless of pitch location).. i find their "batter's eye" feature can be really good or really bad, because in the screenshot they released, Sabathia hasn't raised his arms yet but the "batter's eye" tipped what coming is a fastball, well maybe when the demo comes out, we would really know about the gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkmanAnt Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I totally got the point. I just think it's a dumb thing to speculate about. Sorry to offend. If 2K9's gameplay was solid, then it would be a dumb thing to speculate about. But it wasn't even close to solid. JR is right, enough with the write-ups and images. This is the only thing that many people want to see. Write ups and screenshots won't fool a lot of people like 2K9's did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleChange11 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 2K has this habit of making their ads feature the cover athlete (Reyes, Timmy & Virtual Timmy) without ever showing actual gameplay. Then the game comes out and you see why. Gameplay has been the major question at 2k, and at their own site, they're avoiding those questions like the plague .... asking everyone to wait for the "Insight" preview for that aspect. To me, it's not a good sign, but I'm willing to try the new my player feature, etc. The overlays and menus look much better than 2k9, and I see from the images that the dust actually looks like dust instead of brown circles (that was horrible). The thing that bothered me most was the realism, and the horrible angles the bat would be at during the point of contact. I would imagine that collision detection issues have been mostly fixed. What I would really like, aside form the obvious, is that performing the gestures incorrectly would result in pitches that end up out of the zone instead of over the plate. I'm doubtful that will happen because people would throw a poop-fit if they were only able to throw 65-70% strikes, while being 'good' at the game. I understand it has been, and always will be, designed for quick action, online gaming. I understand I'm a dino and not the target audience. I also don;t understand why they put so much effort into online experience, but then do nothing to the quitters that rack up wins on the leaderboard by quitting games they are losing. From what I have seen, it destroys the online experience for a good number of gamers. I can tolerate some small flaws and even some graphic hiccups once in a while, but each version has had a major flaw that has outweighed any good or progress.

CircleChange11 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I freeze-framed the trailer video at about 0:31, where the LHB fouls one off over the 3rd base coach's head. The arms and bat looked mostly aligned, which is a big collision improvement. In previous versions, the arms would have been parallel to the ground, and the bat would have been angled with the barrel pointing toward the ground, with one hand going "through" the bat. It also appears they added "breaking up DP" collision. Hopefully, it's not overdone (too frequent, too successful) like MVP. The throwing motions of the players are MUCH better than the "from the ear" motion that EVERYONE in MLB10 uses (I hate that). Pitcher's motions have been traditionally very smooth in the 2K series ... that's been one of the few positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG the dust was disturbing since the 1st time I saw it. "Particle effects" was always off! 23 more days 'til it's released...I guess they think My Player and 40 Man Rosters will equal successful sales. They know what needs to be shown.
