Posted by AndyP on 02/27 at 12:22 in Baseball |

OS forum moderator MillenniumOS recently had some hands on playing time with MLB 2k10. Here are his impressions.
"My first impression is that this is not the same 2K baseball game that became a punch line during the past couple of years. Now, it is not a perfect game either, but it seems to finally be a step in the right direction" |

| Road to the Show Enhancements |
Posted by AndyP on 02/27 at 12:15 in Baseball |
|
In possibly their final blog update before the game is released, the official PlayStation blog has posted a preview from Designer Aaron Luke where he talks about the many enhancements that the SCEA developers have squeezed into the "Road to the Show" mode of MLB 10 The Show.
"Not only have we included the new Catcher Calling the Game mode to RTTS, or the new Pitching/Fielding trainings (post coming soon), but also we've put a big emphasis on a lot of little things that have a big impact on the mode. As stated in a previous post, the All-Star Futures Game and Home Run Derby also find their way into RTTS. We’re very excited about this year's offering, and hope you are as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I wish you all the best of luck on your Road To The Show." |
 There are a ton of options in the "Create a Player" section |
 Spend some time in batting practice - it should make you a better player |
 There is no shortage of stat tracking in this sports game |
 Progressing in Road To The Show is all about meeting goals |

| Realism of MLB 10 The Show |
Posted by AndyP on 02/23 at 16:27 in Baseball |
|
Realism is one of the characteristics of the MLB The Show series from SCEA that makes it a shining example to other sports games of how to implement the fine details of a sport in a videogame. The latest iteration, due for release shortly, aims to build on what has gone before. In their latest PlayStation blog update, Greg Batalucco explains how they have set about achieving that.
"Beginning with last year's version of The Show, we wanted to make the game even more accurate. In MLB 10: The Show, we have taken it further and added more to your gaming experience. New for this year's edition are real-time players in the dugouts and bullpens, fireworks, rally towels, thundersticks, working digital and analog clocks, and much more. All these realistic enhancements to the game make MLB 10: The Show feel and sound like you are actually at the ballpark. Throughout this post we will focus on the stadium enchantments and how they make The Show come alive!" |
