    This game is an abomination and everyone who was responsible for it should be ashamed. I hate the fact that EA has a monopoly on the NFL, but at least they deliver a serviceable product. 2K sports is just raking their customers over the coals with this game trying to milk a buck out of the fact that they have no competition in the baseball market and therefore don't need to produce a This game is an abomination and everyone who was responsible for it should be ashamed. I hate the fact that EA has a monopoly on the NFL, but at least they deliver a serviceable product. 2K sports is just raking their customers over the coals with this game trying to milk a buck out of the fact that they have no competition in the baseball market and therefore don't need to produce a quality game. Where to begin, OH WHERE TO BEGIN!? A.I. - Utterly repugnant. Makes me want to fist fight my dog. Computer making insane and unrealistic throws time and time again on one hand, only to drop fly balls or steal a base at inopportune times. It's all over the place. Graphics are passable. Not the prettiest game, but it's not bad by any stretch. Sound. Clear and well presented. I might be blinded by my rage in other areas but I haven't noticed any problems with the audio quality. Gameplay - This is the hate filled money shot right here. I can't even begin to guess what they were thinking with some of this stuff. First of all the menu system is easily one of the wort I've ever seen. There is no inherent logic to any of it. You will have difficulty getting from mode to mode ... but why would you? Because let me tell you right now the modes are terrible. Quick Play lets you play an immediate game against a computer opponent or a friend. Cool. That works too, so hey, more power to them. If only anything else did. My Player mode sounds awesome in practice. It's like an RPG career where you build a guy and work him through the minors at his position, growing him until you make it to the big leagues. That's all well and good except for the fact that it's smashed up like Billie Joel's Lexus after an open bar wedding. There are reports all over the net about people's save files being locked or corrupted. LOCKED OR CORRUPTED. It takes forever to level a character up, can you imagine the frustration you would feel if after you put 10+ hours into it, the file on your box just arbitrarily decided you weren't allowed to use it anymore? It's like the game is telling you to go screw yourself, at random, because it hates you. And achievements might not as well even be in the mode since they are all bugged out and glitched (like most other parts of the game). Half of them don… Expand

    While MLB 2K10 takes small steps towards fixing the problems that made last year's game such a disappointment, it still doesn't come close to delivering the definitive baseball experience that we all want from the oldest baseball franchise around.

    MLB 2K10 is heading in the right direction, but it’s not quite where it needs to be yet.

    But this much is certain: when you put the game in and start playing, you'll actually be able to play a game of baseball. That alone is a huge improvement over last year's title.
