I highly recommend attending a game at Boston’s Fenway Park if you ever get a chance to visit. The next best thing is to . Yes sir, I watch all the action on my computer.
You could watch the Sox on your PC, too.
That way you’d get to watch games between Sox arch enemy and division rival New York Yankees. These teams have legendary match-ups every year where Sox stars like Dustin Pedroia and Mike Lowell but bat to ball battling the Bronx Bombers. Since it is the Al, you can watch veteran Red Sox great David Ortiz step to the plate as the team’s DH to work a little hitting magic in a clutch situation. Pitchers Josh Becket and Paul Byrd fire fastballs past unsuspecting opponent batters who can but shrug a head and shoulder heading back to the dugout.

MLB News question by kenshin: Is there a web site equivalent to hoopshype.com for rumors & news for football (NFL) and baseball (MLB)?
Hoopshype.com has news from newspapers and websites on pro basketball (NBA). Their format is really good (a few paragraphs and a link to news stories). I’m trying to find a site that has football (NFL) news and another that specifically deals with pro baseball (MLB).

Much better than 2k9,
I really like this game. I spent the time to tweek 2k9 and finally got it fun but 2k10 is all around much better. Right away I configured the controller buttons and scaled down the video (had to go to 800×600 with x2 antialiasing because I have an older video card, geforce 6800 GTO). I recommend doing these two steps before playing. After that it was game on. The graphics are smoother, pitching is better, load times are faster, and it has not crashed on me yet. The announcers are good, hitting is tough as it should be, and this is just an all around fun game. I know 2k has struggled to produce a great baseball game and has taken a lot of criticism in the past. I am greatfull for their continued efforts and their commitment to produce the game for the PC. My days of mourning the loss of the EA sports MVP series are finally over… This game is fun and tough in all the right areas.
The graphics do not seem quite as detailed as 2k9 but I much prefer the faster load times and smoother game play of 2k10. Even with my lower settings the graphics are very good. There are a few quirks as sometimes players don’t do what they should and seem confused. This is rare, however, and hasn’t taken away from my enjoyment. I play hardball in a 35+ league and see players much more confused than this in real life. Baseball is one of my passions yet I am willing to overlook a few quirks as long as they don’t interfere with my enjoyment of the game. My $29.99 was well spent and I’m glad I went and bought it on openning day. Thank you 2k Sports!
(I have not tried out the network play yet so I can’t comment on that)

|Not for n00bs,
I’ll be the first to admit that I suck at MLB 2K10 for the PC. This is my first baseball video game and while it looks great, the learning curve is extremely steep, to the point where it’s not fun.
The pitching and batting mechanics (using a Xbox360 controller with the PC) are interesting, but you have to be so perfect in the timing and execution that it’s a killjoy. While hardcore fans or someone used to the mechanics from a previous MLB 2K not have problems with this, you’re going to feel lost if you’re a newcomer. Like I said, everything’s about timing and execution and the game’s drills are very poor in helping you hone your skills. For example, in a pitching drill, every time you throw the ball (a total of fifteen times or so before you need to re-load the drill) you’re supposed to do a different pitch. How is that going to teach you anything? It should be set up so if you want to throw a fastball, you can try throwing 200 or so fastballs in a row until you get it right.
My other gripe is the fact that a Xbox360 controller doesn’t seem to be 100% compatible with the game. The game mostly works with the Xbox360 controller (mostly, that is; sometimes you can’t advance to the next event like pitching the ball because the “A” button doesn’t register, although you can drop back to the menus where “A” works fine. This is with a wired Xbox360 controller, btw), but “C” and “D” buttons? Why can’t they display “X” and “Y” on the screen? Or have an “Xbox360 mapping setup” config screen where they show a picture of the controller? I’m being nit-picky but you’d think with an Xbox360 controller, controls should be plug-and-play flawless, and they’re not.
I’m hoping MLB 2K10 is like typing, a pain to learn but resulting in great rewards if I stick with it.

|Big Learning Curve,
Although the box says you can play this game with a keyboard, it’s patently untrue. I bought it with that as a condition, then I had to come back and buy an Xbox for Windows controller. Do NOT buy one of the Amazon-recommended Logitech controllers – they fail regularly and quickly. Spend the extra $10 for the Xbox one. It’s reliable, sturdy, and comfortable, plus it’s much more of a standard among other games.
The game itself is visually good, with tons of features, but it is taking me forver to learn how to play, as this is my first try with a PC baseball game in about 10 years. I wish there was a beginner/kids level of play where I could just get right into it. Hope this pays off eventually, as I’ve really waited for a decent PC baseball action game.
