Major League Baseball 2K10

Reviewed by K T (April 12, 2010)

Wherever those games were taking place, the baseball of 2K10 usually appears to be unfolding here on planet Earth. When batting, you will have to be patient in identifying pitches, rather than taking a rip at everything thrown. Pitchers often straddle the outer-edge of the strikezone, and a batter caught trying to pull a ball way out there will often tap weak grounders to the pitcher and second baseman. Derek Jeter’s most enviable quality—the ability to sit back on a pitch and go with it to opposite field—is rewarded here. Pitches low in the zone can no longer be piledrived for stratospheric homeruns; seeing-eye singles are of a surprisingly realistic frequency.

Like so many other sports games released this season, MLB 2K10 is guilty of failing to break new ground. My Player mode won’t appease everyone. However, it’s pretty clear that 2K Sports designed it with only one kind of player in mind – the kind who has always wanted to be the individual star of a baseball team without having to worry about all the other nonsense.
