Impressions

Recommended Posts

I didn't see an impressions thread for the full game, so here's my synopsis:

I'll try to be brief:

Playing as the Rangers (home) against the Cardinals. Lost 1-0 on all-star default to a solo shot by Pujols in the 8th. Suspect pitch to put out, but not a horrible HR (I'll try to UL it later to 2K). Had 4 singles and K'd 7x. Struck out 12 Cards who had 6 or 7 hits. Pitch count was in low 100's for both teams. My K% was mid-60's and cpu's was low 70's.

The Good:

*Double plays look and feel pretty nice

*The defensive swing comes in handy sometimes

*The cpu took a walk

*Spray of the ball was pretty decent

*BR speed is pretty good on this level

*Decent cam selections for pitching and batting

*Nice underhand toss throw animation

*Make a mistake pitch and it'll get hit

The Bad:

*Cannon arms

*Throw meter seems useless (though I could care less about it)

*A few throwing animations that make you go wtf

*The camera sitting on the dead foul ball excessively long

*The cut scene for the RP coming in from the pen is almost laughable

*No manual throwing the ball around after an out

*Throwing on the run almost always results in pushing off the wrong foot

*No check swing as of yet

The Ugly:

*No fielding cam options

*No fielding cam options

*No fielding cam options!

---- and what's there on a gapper is brutal.

I didn't have 2K9 (once I read the reviews), but there is an option for quick play, if that's what you mean.

K check out 2:08 of this vid

See how after the pitch the camera wanders around between pitches. In 2k10 videos, I never see that. It's always skipping to the next pitch.

...Git r done!

God please let that die with "wassssuuuupppp".

I can do w/o the walking around the mound. If you don't skip through the batters' routines stepping into the box for each pitch, it puts a nice pace to the game. Any more and you wouldn't be able to finish a 9 inning game in under 75 mins. The one I played took about 45.
