Pros- not too laggy this year which is good
Cons- Team 2k is a joke, no penalties for quitters, games slows down close to baselines, still too many awful errors in the outfield
Suggestions- Get rid of Team2k, it encourages people quitting and makes the game a waste of time
The choice to play a game online during the day or at night.
Fix the slowdown at the baselines and the outfield errors

Pros:
* Team 2k adds challenge and dedication to online play.
* League feature is awesome, it allows us to play more of a season then just individual games, which gives more of a baseball feel.
* Connection compatibility is perfect 96% of the time.
*All and all functionality of online play is fun and enjoyable.
Cons:
* Online Quitting.
* League Quitting. (meaning when someone drops from your league, others cant join unless invited, or even see the league on the available leagues lobby)
* Menu organization / game lobby / unranked match.
Suggestions:
* Online Quitting: Penalize people who quit. This way there will be some message that quitting is not allowed. Either through giving points to the winner, or taking points from the quitter, or a combination of both or an alternative. Even perhaps going into dividing online matches, meaning people who quit get matched up with quitters, and people who have low DNF% are matched together (basically your just matched with people who play like you).
* League Quitting: Perhaps in the menu for leagues add a feature for "joining a quick league" where the leagues available are full excluding one or two teams, and the leagues with people who quit could be included in this list. This way, hopefully, the good leagues will always stay full, the small leagues will not last long (no flood of leagues like now), and people will have options as to who or what they want to play.On a side note, possibly implement a "search for team" where you can look at leagues who have a specific team available and then decide if you want to join.
* Better menu navigation: Simplify the menu's both in leagues, in matches, and in lobby. Possibly even add a quick match for unranked matches. Perhaps add some detail to leagues and online play. Like detail in leagues showing what teams are available upon looking.
* Add a tutorial for how to play online: It seems like most the critics of this game have an issue adapting to online play, it seems theres a sense of needed assistance. (This ones a joke)

My pros and cons are about the same as alreadu mentioned. However, I have some suggestions:
There should be a quick match option for people who use mics. Not all of us want to play mute users. The lobby system even no longer lets you know if someone is using a mic. I think both ideas should be implimented in 2K10. I wouldn't mind quick match ranked games if I had the option for "Quick Match Voice".
I think there should be a "Hurry Up Baseball Online Mode". Basically, the online mode should still have batter walkups, but I can agree with most cutscenes and replays being shut off. Right now, as it stands, you have not much idea on who you're pitching to, and sometimes, you have no idea on who's batting without checking the lineup card while batting.
When choosing a starter, a user should no longer be able to choose another for relief. You choose a starter at the beginning of the game, and the relievers only afterwards. However, the starters should be ommited as a choice after the third inning (in case of injury before...though I think injuries could be shutoff during exihibition and ranked anyway).
When viewing others setting in the unranked lobby, we should be able to view that individiuals slider settings. It just says "custom settings on", but we have no idea what is changed.

I think and would love to see an option for the league creator to be able to turn on or off LIVING ROSTERS for an online league. Maybe the creator of a league can first do a ROSTER update themselves offline then be able to somehow come online with it and create a league with the ROSTER they made. Of course the creator can not adjust any RATINGS so we dont have people makeing players all 99 so this feature should be GRAYED out on the RATINGS but the creator have the option of changing,age,height,wieght,jersey#'s, pants high or low,BATS,GLOVES and especially skin tones. Let the creator also be able to edit batting stances and or add pitches to pitchers reptiore. League play is why most people play this game and we need everything the offline franchise has but just make it ONLINE for leagues. I would love to see CALL UP & SEND DOWNS,WAVER WIRE like in ALL STAR BASEBALL. Please bring all the ONLINE presentation MLB 2K7 had such as BATTER WALK UPS,MOUND VISITS,STATS s what a batter is doing is the course of the league as the season goes on. Pitcher MATCH UPS. WALK OFF HOME RUNS,When a pitcher is getting alot of K'S. I would love to see presentation such as going to the STUDIOS with Jeanne Zelasco having her sitting behind the desk type thing with other analyst talking about the current game at 7th inning stretch.What about having the NATIONAL ANTHEM before each game played or sang by someone and on the field showing players from each team lineup like they do in real life or maybe have the USA flag stretch out across the field. One thing I like about MLB 2K9 is the COMMENTARY and i would love to see all 30 teams home stadium actual ANNOUNCERS calling the game. Last but not least would like to see weather back in MLB 2K10 seeing it RAIN,Hear lighting strike or screen flash a bit making thunder sound or something,when its cold see fans bundle up with coats or blankets. Also when theres a large lead (BLOWOUT) see the stands getting empty by fans getting up and leaving.
Hope to see any of these added for MLB 2K10

That will more than likely NEVER happen. Do you know how much time that would take to have 60 guys(2 man teams) go through all those lines or how much space that would prob take up? I just highly doubt that would/could happen. With the weather, you do know that if it lightnings they delay the game? so would you want that delay in there too, like an accelerated clock but you get to sit there and watch it rain and storm? Weather never really comes in to play in video games besides for visual effects, and id honestly rather see them improve other areas of the game besides those.
A good idea would be to have the online lgs last for multiple seasons ALA NCAA football 09 and their dynasties. Thats the best online lg system there is to date. Everything you could possibly want to do with your online franchise you are able to do. I played in one with 12 people that last 4 seasons, with all correct NCAA players named in the lg and fully editable besides ratings.

Pros: Less lag than last year, pretty realistic homerun numbers after patch, league setup
Cons: Too much lag on balls hit to corners, sometimes impossible to get leadoff or steal on the basepaths because pitchers can pitch before it is possible to do so (this is my main complaint with online play, as a top-tiered base stealer can be stopped by quick pitching), no online lobbies, no penalties for quiting, starters can be brought in in relief with no penalty, stats erased every month
Suggestions: Either make pitchers wait for the runners to get their lead or let the runners start with their original lead, instead of taking that lead while the pitcher can get ready to throw.
Add online lobbies and opponent feedback for ranked games
Don't erase stats every month
Give more time on the pause timer for games that go into extra innings
Don't let starters be subbed into the game after it has started or give each starter that isn't chosen a decrease in stamina at the start of the game (have them at 50% or lower)
Add an all strikes match outside of leagues

Pros: For the most part not incredibly laggy. Able to have an online draft.
Cons: Many glitches including, dropped balls in the outfield, constant umpire blown calls (especially at home plate), alot of "Networking errors" messages which prevents a game from even getting started.
Suggestions for improvement: Fix the glitches. Biggest suggestion would be to bring the franchise mode to the online play. So this way you can start a season with friends online and have the other unused teams be controlled by AI. This allows for trading and free agency and minor leagues etc. That would make online play amazing!

Pro: Online play is fun and as long as the player you are playing actually plays the game like it would be played in the real world you can have a good time competing against others.
Cons:
give a message screen online that can be pull up during play without having a time penalty. Make online talking available. If it is... I cant ever talk or hear anyone when I am plugged into a headset. Make it easier to communicate to with the other players. Placing the game on pause to go grab a drink or hit the potty should not be a guessing game!!
No ability to quit game when someone is playing outside the normal play of baseball. Sliding to first, throwing pitches in unrealistic manner. No pitcher throws high pitch after high pitch after hig pitch in order to "fool" someone into swinging. In Real baseball you can judge a pitch thrown away out of the strike zone when it leaves the pitchers hand. Not possible in the game.

Hes got a good point. Most pitches out of the zone are obvious to real life baseball players (granted, they are professionals), but it should be the same for this game too. The best pitches are ones that start inside the strike zone then fall out (its said in the game!). If this were fixed, along with the fact that you can pound corners with perfection all day long, I think the level of "cheep play" would drastically go down. Meaning people who basically throw everything outside the strike zone until they walked 3 of your batters and the next walk will get you a run. A solution for the issue of people pitching out of zone all day could be, in the game if everything lands out of zone your pitcher will be more "fatigued" because really in real life most the time when someone has a crazy fastball out of zone its because they didnt pitch it right, so from that fatigued the percentage of the ball landing inside the zone when your throwing it out will go up drastically. Easy to say, the more you throw out of the zone on a consistent basis, the more of a chance your next one will land in it. Theres a difference between throwing some inside the zone then following on with one that lands out (making me work for it), then throwing everything outside of the zone (most the jerks who play online).
I think that this game should reward you for good pitches. Meaning if you have good to great timing on your pitching gestures, your throwing the correct pitches in the correct location, and your using different pitches and speeds to confuse the batter. I say this because you have people online who just throw the 12-6 so it barely lands in strike zone (picking the corners) and the next one will but barely out of the zone (or they throw every pitch out of the zone). In my opinion that isnt real baseball, and with certain pitchers it gets incredibly hard to spot. Perhaps even make it so if you use one constant pitch with your pitcher, it will make him more fatigued, and from that he will have less control of where the pitch hes using will land (easier to hit), and it will not have as much drop (easier to spot).

my suggestion is for the 2k weekly not to be used anymore and use for example the top 10 home run hitters at the end of the regular season .this way there will not be multiple name creators trying to get the whole 10 weeks and it will illiminate the quiters.also if 2k actually thought with their minds and not with their wallets they could make it the top hr hitter then the top rbi man then the best error free etc etc this would be great to try and get at least one of the top spots for online just like the real pros do for the best batting average etc anyway i think it would be fun to have to play this way because everyone would have to play for the entire season and there would be still alot of players online by the end of the summer.

Con: extremly excited to play the card battles with friends and other people but it has never worked. i understood that there was a server problem but when it was fixed it still didnt work. then when i called 2k they didnt know anything about mlb 2k9 and couldnt help me out at all. i might as well have just called xbox because they would have given me the same answer, "Oh sorry we don't have specific information on games." i mean come on its your own game. one guy acutally told me that they barley have any information at all on anything and he couldnt really ever help anybody out with anything. so i suggest that if your going to have card battles online that it actually work, and two to give the people answering the calls at 2k more information so they can help us.

Make hitting hr's harder. In one of the patches they lowered the contact and power, but just by a little bit. It is still way too easy to crush hr's. I have hit 5 in a row before, 3 many times. I have never seen so many ball throwers before. The reason they throw so many balls is because it is too easy to homer. In 2k6, 2k7, and 2k8 I threw over 90% strikes, and I only gave up 1 or 2 hr's. In this years game, a lot of players are just scared every strike will be crushed, hence all the balls. When they throw all balls, I make them pitch.
I also think if they are not going to bring back the lobbies, they should atleast let us see our opponents feedback and record to see if they are a quitter without being able to skip past it.
I traded in my mlb2k9. I miss playing baseball, but not enough to play mlb2k9. Hopefully mlb2k10 will be a great game.
I forgot to use the proper format, kinda like 2k/VC forgot to use the proper format for a baseball sim.

PROS: Less lag than last year
CONS: NO ONLINE LOBBIES!! I go into quick ranked matches and get wrecked by some veteran player with 500 wins- it's not fun- No team play, still laggy
Suggestions: Look at EA's NHL 09 Online 'Be a Pro' League, and make that in this game, where each player is one person on a team.

Cons: Do something different with the home run derby. It isn't fun online because you hit a homerun everysingle time and the person who wins is the person who hits the A button the fastest
Suggestion:Make it like the single player homerun derby. Have the players watch eachothger at the plate, get 10 outs, and switch b/w the players after every few outs they get. Just please make it fun

Thats not a bad idea. I know when me and my friends are playing together, if they swing at one of my pitches to early ill usually say "ohhh what happened there", or "was that fastball to fast for you"... something stupid. Anyways, my point is when friends play this game it should be designed over the atmosphere, that when people play together they like to comment and have fun. Homerun derby doesnt provide that atmosphere.

Please developers, don't follow this mans suggestion. Remember that nostalgia can sometimes bring skewed remembrance. 2K7 was a terribly flawed product as well, and the online balance in the game, I'd say, was much worse.
Try 2K7 again if you haven't. Even graphically, it looks terrible now. The gloss and graphic power is there, but the movement, frame rate, and overall flow just looks bad. Even the batting/pitching was hurt due to a poor framerate, which made the game move fast and complicated the ability to read balls and strikes. Everyone was a super fielder, and on normal settings, you could hit about 5 to 10 homeruns a game, while maybe snagging at least 3 or 4 of them off the wall.
Yes 2K, please bring back these "features". Remember, we want a terrible framerate, chronic wall snags, super hero like fielders, more batting power, and bad camera angles for fielding.

That is exactly how MLB 2K9 is too.

Taking MLB 2K7 and fixing the framerate, wall snags, fielding, and batting / pitching physics would've yielded a much better product than MLB 2K9, so you need to chill out. It would've been a smarter move too, but when it comes to MLB, 2K Sports are a bunch of f'in idiots.

No, if you know anything about game development, you wouldn't want to try and fix someone else's coding and game. While 2K9 is not the game we wanted, it will warrant much better results from the development team than taking the other route.

Yea, well, I'm speaking from a consumer's point of view. We expect an improved product every year. When we keep getting a product that is clearly decreasing in quality year after year, we start to think the company making the game doesn't know what they're doing.

The online play is fine. Learn how to pitch, field, hit and you'll all be fine. The only complaint I have is that people are stupid. Don't swing at balls out of the strike zone, maybe I won't throw them there. I expand the strike zone on occassion but I am not going to swing at garbage. Make the player throw the pitches you want. Get them in the counts you want them to be pitching in. I try and always get ahead and hit when its 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, and I maul people in those counts. Learn how to play please. Thats all. I can even accept the quitting early when the other player is getting blown out, but damn this really isn't that bad.

lol, online play is not fine. It is way to easy too crush a ball out of the park. You say people need to learn how to pitch, I do agree with that, but let me put it to you this way: Have you ever watched home run derby in real life? Those guys are getting hittable pitches mostly right down the middle, all of them about the same pitch and velocity. They still only hit a few of them out of the park. In mlb2k9, if you get a fat pitch you are probably going to crush it most of the time, more so if you have a great hitter. So lets say you get 20 perfect pitches down the middle, In mlb2k9 you will probably crush a higher % of them for homers than you would in a real life home run derby. Thats what I mean about it being too easy to hit hr's. Do you see what I am saying?
I do agree that people need to make people pitch to them. But playing online still has a little lag, so you need to swing a little earlier than you would if you were playing the computer. So because of this, It is harder to read pitches online than when playing the computer.

Pros:
Online is addictive, it's all I play anymore
Cons:
Stats system is lame, need something better to build sense of real competition ("unstructured" seasons would be cool among randomly assigned frequent online players by "skill class"). You could get promoted to different leagues A, AA, AAA, etc based upon quality of online play. NOT a hard schedule, but definitely some form of record keeping and standings.
QUITTERS SHOULD BE PENALIZED with more than just a loss. But a "agreed to" quit should not count as a DNF.
JUNK BALL pitchers should be penalized as well. I get that a big part of the real game is pitch location and ball/strikes. But it's very hard to determine pitch location as a batter and some players take advantage of this by pitching nothing but junk balls. So if a pitcher is throwing more balls than strikes the game should give a warning. Something like that.
ERRORS in outfield. Sometimes I seem to lose control of my fielders. Don't know why.
LAG, especially when catching baserunners in a run-down. This creates an advantage for the baserunner.
Too many home runs when pitching "down the middle". Not realistic.
More "classic" ball parks. How about a park editor? I remember this from WAAAY back (Larussa Baseball I think it was). Would be cool to have a "home park" to download to other players when initiating online play (especially in "card battle").

One thing i would like to see for online play in 2k10 is the ability to start a season/franchise online with as many or as little other human controlled teams as you want. For example, if you and just say 1 other friend want to be in a season/franchise together, you should be able to do so and then just have the rest of the teams be controlled by AI like it would offline. This would allow you to esstentially take the franchis mode that is playable offline and bring it to XBOX Live and be able to play with friends. I think that would be alot of fun and alot easier than being forced to get a min of 4 people to start a league online. This feature would make online play much more enjoyable.

It was the first year the game was released for the PC. It was sold at a bargain price of twenty bucks. I know not having online play can make a game stagnant. I hope they bring it out next year. Keep an eye on NBA2K10 for the PC. If the game has online play, then MLB will most likely have it as well.

Leagues
Cons
The LAG (you must swing much earlier than you when playing offline) the timing is completely different online you are not even swinging at the ball its silly
But playing online still has a little lag, so you need to swing a little earlier than you would if you were playing the computer. So because of this, It is harder to read pitches online than when playing the computer.
I completely agree i hate playing online for the sole reason of that lag mostly for batting put it effects pitching also

Most ridiculous thing about this game online... I just played some guy who was down by 2 in the 8th inning so he started switching his hitters to the opposite side and then back. As soon as he made contact my fielders were locked while he ran around the bases and score TWENTY runs that inning.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME 2K?
How is something like that NOT FIXED WITH THE FIRST PATCH?

Basically my feedback is that I would like to see an online mode in the Nintendo Wii version, or at least online roster updates that are updated regularly. That would really be a nice improvement for the Wii version. I never really understood why the Wii version couldn't get ALL of the features, especially since, in my opinion, the Wii version is more fun since you actually get to do the swinging motions and stuff. Well anyway, it is still a good game.

Pros: Playing against human competition - $40.00, playing baseball on Xbox 360 -$59.99 playing against someone who isn’t afraid to lose a game from just being out played by their opponent - PRICELESS!!! 2K, you gave us a baseball game. Thank you.
Cons: No player match selection similar to the one in NBA 2k9. You should be able to jump right into a predetermined player match to weed out the kids who jus want to play for a few innings and then quit! You should not be able to switch hit after the 1st pitch like in high school or rec league. LOL! You never see any pro player do that! The tag button leaves a lot to be desired as well. I understand you can’t make a perfect game.
Suggestions: PLEASE PENALIZE MORE HARSHLY QUITTING and DISCONNECTING!!! PLEASE!!! If people want to quit, or think they might quit in the middle of the match when mommy calls, or have the propensity to quit because someone just jacked a homer on them, then make them play a player match!! Ranked matches should come with MUCH more stricter rules. The majority of 27 and older guys don’t have enough time to play enough to even reach the top 500, let alone the top 25, so why reward people with nothing but time on their hands that simply want to cheat? I would assume the quitters and cheaters are below the ages of 27. At 27, one can easily assume maturity is starting to set in and "real world" issues drive them/us to take out our frustration through solid, fun, online competition! That’s impossible to attain when having no choice in dealing with the large pool of quitters and cheaters. Possibly tag the quitters with an icon, or color. Maybe pink? I’m not like the majority of people who complained endlessly about the flaws of this game because the game wasn’t put in a beta test where we could all give you the feedback you needed to put out a polished product. But what I can say is that if you do something MORE deterring about the cheaters, and quitters, you could gain a lot more respect aka MONEY from your customers and loyalist for not having a 10/10 product. Please make quitting and cheating less attractive, less appealing, and like some STD's stay with that user forever!!
