Mariners player ratings on MLB2K10
MLB2K10 comes out next Tuesday, and operationsports.com has a ton of screenshots out, including Mariners players.
Unsurprisingly, it thinks Ichiro is awesome. (you can click through to see the rest of the Mariners players as well as other screenshots, including seeing Rob Johnson. sorry!)

Jack Wilson is a better hitter than Griffey
That makes me sad.
How do you figure?
He’s worse in Contact v Righties, Power vs R&L, and Eye. Wilson is one point better than him in contact v. lefties.
The Eye stat is actually important in this game too
It gives you an occasional tip-off as to pitch type and location, with a frequency based on the Eye rating.
I'm just really glad I have a PS3

Actually, 2K10 looks a LOT better than 2K9 from the demo at least
And there are a lot of things that I hate about The Show, starting with their antiquated pitching meter interface.
I’m really hoping this is the year that they finally get 2K right.
Gesture pitching was in the game last year
But this year’s version is much more refined and easier to use.
And it punishes you for not doing the gesture correctly, which adds an element of variability that I like. In The Show, if you can manage to time a button press correctly, you can execute every pitch perfectly every time.
I've had the exact opposite experience.
Even when I absolutely nail the pitching motion in The Show, the pitch almost never goes exactly where I want it. (I’ve only played 09, for what it’s worth.) Whereas in the 2K games I’ve always felt like I had pinpoint control of every pitch.
Forget Classic Parks
Ebetts Field, the Polo Grounds, etc are always used, screw those.
I wish they’d put stadiums in the game we grew up watching, 80’s and 90’s stadiums. Who cares if they sucked, I want some outdoor turf!

The Show is amazing, and I don't mind the pitching meter at all.
I just don’t see it as being possible to make any decent argument for 2K over The Show.

However, "I don't feel like buying a PS3 for one game"
Is a pretty good argument for 2K over The Show.
Same.

I actually bought my PS3 two days after buying MLB 2k8.
The framerate issue was so bad I dumped $500 on a console I really had no intention of buying before that point.
And to clarify, I buy two or three video games a year and play the shit out of them.
I’ve played nothing but FIFA 10 since I got my PS3 and I’ll get the Show when it comes out and play nothing but those two games until the next installment of FIFA comes out. Given that a baseball game is one of the two games I buy, it makes no sense for me to buy a console with a shit baseball game. Especially since I have a Blu-Ray player now too. If I was a more diverse gamer, I might have chosen differently.

I haven't bought a 2K game since 2K8.
Went to The Show and haven’t looked back.
Video game sports fans are some of the most bias ones out there
probably because alot of them are 14
5 MORE YEARS OF FELIX!
In other news, don't bother checking the stats for The Show this year unless you want to punch walls...
Mets have better team defence than the M’s. Guti the 8th best CF … Figgins only scrapes into the top 10. No love for Jack Wilson at all. Usual over rated stats for the usual big name big team stars, little love for smaller market players especially those with high real life defensive value.
Oh well I'll just edit players.

How awesome would it be if they tied into Fangraphs
And gave you wOBA, etc, with the option to have it updated daily (unless you were off generating your own season’s worth of stats).. Oh, well, you’d want tRA for pitchers, sure.
But video gamers would get exposed to these stats. Most would ignore them, but some would get a visceral sense for how the better stats capture the value of the player even as things like ERA and RBI bounce around. Video game exposure can have surprising consequences (the demand created by Gran Turismo 3 caused Mitsubishi to start selling the Lancer Evo in the US; many kids thought Red Bull was a fictional drink with super powers when first encountering it in Wipeout XL).. But mostly it would just be cool for playing around with lineups and other things, like weighing UZR when, I don’t know, contemplating playing Jose Lopez at third and Chone Figgins at second.
Yeah, I'd love this.
The 2K game from last year had a stat section labeled “sabermetrics”, but from what I remember the stats they used were pretty laughable, using things like VORP.
Aardsma is only a 78? Hmmm....
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I'm much more interested in The Show's ratinsgs....
Have those been released yet?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Yes, if you go to the IGN message board for the game they are on there.
And they suck.

Baseball game developers really need to hire some good stats people to work on their games.

The closest thing we've ever had to a baseball game with decent stats was the old High Heat series.
I think the last one came out in 2002, so I’m not sure what kind of advanced stats it had, but I do remember it having alot of stats.
