MLB 2K10 Adding Check Swings With Patch

There has been a high level of discontent towards MLB 2K10 based on the information that check swings had been removed from the game. After all 2K10 is being promoted with the focus on the pitcher vs hitter battle and lacking check swings, a staple of baseball video games and a critical element of every MLB at bat, is a serious knock on credibility.

Today 2K Sports announced that check swings will be added into the game in an upcoming patch. Unfortunately it was not specified whether it will be in a release day patch or if there will be a wait time until it arrives. The addressing of the topic took place in a blog released today which can be read in full here.

The explanation that because of the new camera angle “you will rarely find yourself in a situation where you are trying to check swing” is completely shallow and doesn’t identify the reasoning why they should be in regardless. It is certainly good news that check swings will be patched in but it should never have come this in the first place. If they are in a release day patch then nothing has been lost but if there is wait time to getting them in the criticism would remain valid.

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.

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
