MLB 2K10 Adding Check Swings With Patch

lol 2K getting defensive about their decision to take them out. its sad that they still dont think they are necessary.

what the hell is with the giant uniform numbers?

That whole paragraph with them trying to make it seem like check swings arent needed. The camera angle, how good hitters supposedly rarely check swing, and so on was embarrassing to read.

People complain when they take them out and people complain when they put them back in.

Wow no kidding. Looks really bad.

Everyone has a right to complain that they took them out. They had no choice but to put them back in. They don't get credit in my mind for putting something back into the game that never shouldve been removed in the first place.

Who cares?

No baseball game has ever done them right and they hurt gameplay more than help it.

I can't ever seem to get them to work correctly in The Show. Half the time I swing when I wanted to check and check when I wanted to swing.

It is a messy feature that doesn't work right, anyway.

The Show has refined the check swings for this year. But even before most of the time I found it to be effective.

Basically they're saying they made hitting so easy that you won't need to ever check swing. Just great.

2K's baseball game needs a patch three weeks before its release…is anyone surprised by this?

Maybe they are just patching the check swings. You don't know.

totally agree…regardless on how good u r, if yur facing 98+ fastballs, and suddenly get a changeup on the corner, u cant tell me that some hitters wont check swing on that. glad 2k doesnt really understand the common gameplay aspects of baseball. scary to think what the gameplay is gonna be like

I agree. It's illogical to give 'em credit for this.

They work naturally for me in The Show. I intentionally check my swing like 10 – 15 times a game.

wonderful….because in my opinion, the hitting was already too easy. regardless of the difficulty

I can't be the only person who is concerned because they feel like they're being forced to put check swings in, not because they realize it's a big part of baseball…

no, and I'm sure it will be delayed as always…

It's still a patch, and one that is needed nearly a month before the game is available to be purchased.

I know almost every game gets a patch these days, but to have a patch add a basic part of baseball that they had in their game before!?! You don't see Tiger Woods games having a patch to add chip shots…

Only 2K can pull this off.

Once again here is another example of the best sports franchise truly listening to it's fans. MLB 2K is a first class all the way.

I just can't wait until March 2 to get my preorder copy of MLB 2K10 for the PS3

What about The Show's inability to simulate check swings online without glitches and hiccups? I've seen guys do a full swing and it counted as a check swing. When are we going to report on those aspects?

Bob said, ” I just can't wait until March 2 to get my preorder copy of MLB 2K10 for the PS3. “

What a fuckin' douche. There is no other word for you. And oh yea ! 2K is first class all the way. Could you be any more of a fuckin' idiot ?

It's because they dedicate so much time into production and research and development that the only time they have to review everything is close to release. This was a minor hiccup and the MLB 2K team came through by adjusting it's product and paying attention to it's fans.

Let me ask you why you get 2k and you have a PS3?

I agree with Bob. They are listening to the fans and giving them what they want. Looks like I will have a great baseball game on my PS3 to play afterall.

Ball with no seams realistic

LOL Bob if they were listening to their fans they wouldn't have taken check swings out in the first place… you're the type of moron they're appealing to, the kind that get excited when they remove an important feature then literally say their going to patch it back in (and you get all excited about it).

REALLY??????? Does anyone give a flying F$%& about this game. 2k should just stop making this game already. They cant compete with MLB the show and EA will do a better job with baseball.

mlb 2k10 = home hun derby just like 2k9 i bet

From the blog:
“Prior to playing Major League Baseball® 2K10, I had to decide before the pitch was even thrown as to whether or not I was going to swing. Forget knowing if it was a ball or strike…that had been impossible in baseball games before 2K10.”

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time. It only takes a few games playing The Show before being able to pick up pitches. What a joke 2K baseball has become.

Nobody cares about your opinion. Bob. Move along.

Nice article from their gameplay designer on some of the hitting/pitching mechanics…

Hey Bob since you seem to be so high on the MLB 2K series, do you mind explaining why 2K publicly said that their poor MLB 2K9 game was the reason for a poor fiscal year?

the 2k developer says he couldnt tell balls from strikes in past games. this is the type of person working on this game? guess it explains alot

I hope you got your hip boots on Bob, cuz it's getting pretty deep over there!

Bob, what good is a game that didnt work offline, to have it run smooth online. You still have a crap game both online and offline with 2K9. At least, you had a state of the art game offlline with The Show.

Check swings worked great offline with The Show and have the last two releases. Hopefully, they will this year with online.

Obviously you do, because you are posting in a thread about their game. If you truly didnt give a flying fuck, you would have just bypassed this thread.

This is really a non-issue anyways, cuz the swing stick hitting model 2K uses has been broken for a few years now. Check swing never worked AT ALL previously when they did have it, so what's the big deal about putting it back in. Obviously 2K realized this when they didnt include it to begin with, because it didnt matter in the gameplay anyways.

This is just a PR ploy to put something back in, that didn't work to begin with.

Thats a fair assessment, in which case they should have found a better method rather than remove it and put it back in the way they did.

This isn't surprising. I had a feeling they would do something like this. There was just too much uproar coming from those who “might” play the game about not having a check swing.

What is wrong with them?

Man, I could read pitches is games like MVP, All-Star Baseball, RBI Baseball and basically any baseball game ever made…even previous 2K baseball games!

This “developer” should maybe look to making other games in which he has an understanding of how the fundamentals work.

more like whats up with that huge ass softball? thought this was MLB…

wow the game hasn’t even came out yet nor shipped to stores and already there calling a patch to add one of the most important elements of batting in baseball…

I can already imagine this years baseball game to be a total disaster like the years previous…I’m done with 2k..Gonna stick to MLB 10 this year.

I think people in general are looking for any type of reason to jump on 2k and turn their nose up towards this game. Yes, it’s not going to be the show. That has already been established, but a logical thought process would be to wait until gameplay video’s come out before we completely write this game off.

or wait until you play the game yourself. If you aren’t going to play it than there is no reason to come on here on post on forums in the 2k section. People should spend more time playing the show than bashing mlb 2k.

Gotta love the huge softball they call a baseball… no seems either.. damn this games sick Bob, definitely going to buy this..

wa wa waa

You’re right, it could be a good game. The video in the blog makes the game look pretty nice actually. If it is good enough, I’ll buy it over The Show. I always thought the pitching/hitting mechanic was much more than a gimmick. It seems like a very reasonable way to add analog control to the game of baseball.

That being said, I think gamers are sick of 2K using all this crazy rationale to defend themselves. If they would have said “hey we messed up, we’ll patch it, sorry”, they wouldn’t be getting all this backlash.

Lol..the game is already a joke and it hasent even come out yet, but atleast they are trying

I think that's the Pirates at bat.

Giants wear white at home.

So if it's the Pirates logo then those are correct.

forgetting something like check swings is like the art designers forgetting to give the players cleats for the game

that's called sh*tty planning bob. they didn't organize their time, and because of it, they have glitches and late patches to make up for their inability to make a quality game.

who can possibly complain about having a check swing system in a BASEBALL game!?

Ok, so here’s my official statement about MLB 2k10. I want it to be a good game. I want people who only own xbox’s to finally have a good baseball game. I know MLB 10 the show will be a better game, I honestly think Bob will be the only person going to gamestop to pick up the 2k game for the PS3, and the store clerks will be shocked and go, “sorry we don’t have that in stock”, Bob will go, “oh so it sold out, just like i expected?” and the clerk will go, “no we didn’t expect anyone to buy it on PS3 since the show is a much better game, and sold over half a million copies last year and 2k sold… dismally.

check swings maybe in the real game, and it should be in a video game, but in all reality. NO ONE USES IT. NO ONE CARES. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HIT DOUBLES AND HOMERS. Dont act like you would check swing in MLB SHOW, cuz you didnt. Dont nitpick little things that normally dont bother you, just to rag on 2k. Check swings gets a big article from you pasta? I notiiced your shitty site is just UFC, Madden and the Show…what happened? you only cover games you liked and did well in sales? You’re a clown and most of your little cornball readers are losers with nothing to follow

those are pirate uniforms…..if you know anything about baseball then you know they dont wear darks at home….
