Last year's edition of Major League Baseball had two kinds of fans – those who totally got into it and those who felt it wasn't nearly the game it could've been. The reason most folks fell by the wayside was the game's lack of difficulty. It was just too easy to belt home runs out of the park, despite the improved field settings and online options.
There were also some minor glitches, although 2K Sports ironed most of them out for the game's first day of release. Oh, well. Last year was last year, and it's time to step back in the batter's box with a much better game of baseball, Major League Baseball 2K10.

"MLB 2K10 is an improvement in many ways perhaps, most importantly, it won't be an embarrassing butt of jokes on the Internet. At least it won't be the source of an array of GIF images showing things that definitely shouldn't be happening. What remains is a good game of baseball that isn't great, but it gets the job done if you're looking for a baseball fix and don't want The Show. There's still some work to be done, but if 2K Sports continues on this path they're going to get it right eventually."
A young Alabama man has been awarded a cash prize of $1,000,000 for his baseball videogame skills.
Wade McGilberry, 24, of Semmes, Alabama was given the prize this morning by 2K Sports, after he successfully won a contest to be the first person to pitch a verified "perfect game" in Major League Baseball 2K10.
Thank god it's over...that commercial was annoying as hell
"get all the cheese...all the cheddar...all the doe...all the money", I wish a baseball flew at that guy's head whoever was doing the commercial
This was one of the few reasons to actually pick up MLB 2K10. The Show has been blowing it away recently, same goes for NHl 10 vs NHL2K, and hopefully 2K takes some time off (I know they are in hockey but baseball also?) and start from scratch. I used to be a huge 2K gamer until they started to drop the ball in the late 2000's.
Come to think of it they lost the NCAA BB license too I think. So maybe it's just the sports genre thats taking a beating.
Point is, competition betters the industry and so far EA/Sony have seen none of it.

"2K Sports stepped up to the plate to deliver a bold prediction of how the Major League Baseball season will shape up based on a simulation using MLB 2K10. They predict the division winners, playoff results, and the World Series winners. It even goes so far as to predict who will in the major awards for both the American and National leagues."
