Its a good game. Its true that can be better in graphics and interaction with the game but its a good experience to play Baseball.

Once again, The makers of the MLB 2K series have reached a new plateau for stupidity. The MLB 2K10 game is probably the worst baseball video game it's ever been my displeasure to own. This game is not designed for enjoyment. It's been designed by developers with over-inflated egos who want to show how clever they are. The most despicable attribute is that you as the player cannot make changes to any player's attributes and/or skills and expect them to be implemented in game play. I can live with that if that was their intention. But why have the skill sliders to increase or decrease their skill levels in the 1st place? Why not just grey out this aspect of the menu? No matter. This will be the last time I purchase anything from the MLB 2K. This deplorable crap was not designed for the average gamer who plays for enjoyment.

same as any other year on ps2. I hate it wasted my money. Terrible graphics If you want a real good baseball game for ps2, switch to the Show.

What ever happened to the good old days when the technology was cutting edge for the time? This game might be cutting edge for maybe 2000. I have outlined a few of the reasons that I would not encourage anyone to purchase this product:

-Player graphics are terrible. I am pretty sure that the Players in Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball in 2000 looked more like the real players than in 2K10. And as someone else has mentioned the images on the back of the case are from the PS3 version not the PS2. So do not think that the images that you see as examples will be what you will actually experience.

-Commentary is terrible. Multiple times per game the announcers: mistake the game for a world series game when it is not, state that the starting pitcher is coming out of the game when in fact it is a reliever that is coming out, say there is an error when there is not, say that it is the final out of the ball game, and players hit for the cycle at times with only one or two hits. The list is much longer than what I listed.

-The crowd is always either standing or sitting. Standing when cheering constantly, or sitting. There are maybe 3 or 4 different people repeated over and over in the audience. There is nothing outside of the stadium at all.

-The sky is blue during rain.

-Even a game i had in 2005 showed dirt stains after a player slid.

-Yankees hats are dark blue instead of black.

-Rosters have not been updated since December 2009.

-The minor league rosters are extremely empty, and are filled with fake players. I would like to have at least seen triple-A with the real players. And at least not have double-A empty.

-You cannot take a saved roster into GM or Franchise mode.

Overall, very inaccurate and poor game play. Save your money.

Okay, the game was only 20 bucks I know, but still this is a product where the graphics during the game are worse then what I've seen then when baseball games came out on the PS2 in 2000. I know that all the developers and programmers are focusing on the PS3 brand and trying to detail that game, but you can't forget about the millions of people that still haven't upgraded to the PS3 yet, and release just a stick and ball game for us.

Let's get into some game detail:

*The latest roster update is from December 2009, and I don't believe they'll bother with releasing another one for this version.

*The stadiums have each of their basic features with hardly any detail outside of the walls of the park, for example, the sky is either a solid blue all around the stadium, or solid black. There are no other buildings. A specific example is when playing at fenway, you usually see the prudential building in left center in the distance, and a few other buildings, but the stadiums might as well be floating in space with this game. Also the crowd is very lame, as their are all of three differenct hazy characters that are at a standing ovation throughout.

*The commentary is almost well done except it doesn't recognize the play sometimes, and will often say things like "it's drops for a hit" when the ball was caught.

*All the players are built about the same size, regardless, and the face doesn't come close to looking anything like them. If you look at the back cover of the PS2 case, you'll see a PS3 version of Longoria.

*The defensive gameplay is a bit confusing, as sometimes players will watch the ball drop right in front of them even if your positioned within the ball tracking circle.

Final Analysis:

Really the only good thing I have to say for this game is their menus look good, and they give you a lot of games within the game to play with. This game I would probably just recommend if you don't mind having updated rosters for this year, and just like to simulate seasons, and the off season. Even then, I would just try a different game, or go back a few years (6 to be exact to 2004!) to the last baseball games that were done before the PS3 came out, these would be MVP Baseball 2005 and MLB 2005, which were officially the last two that a full development staff worked on creating in 2004, before they began working on ps3 versions for the systems release in 06. I know you'll have old rosters, but you'll definitely have a better quality game then this pile that is MLB2K10 aka the thing that keeps the chair from rocking side to side now.

The really great news is you can buy those two games above for about one dollar on amazon. nice!

Not worth my time writing a lengthy review. A total waste of time and money. Buy something else.
