When it happens no less than five times, all within the space of a month (in the career mode – aka, an afternoon of intense gaming), the first reaction is disbelief, followed by some baseball-based epithets, and then the AI is questioned.
Come on – Julio Lugo has been playing in the Major Leagues for 10 years; he certainly is not so thick-headed as to try to steal second base when a teammate is standing there and no double-steal signs have been put on.
And yet Lugo will do that. The only way to get him to stop is to boost skills and career numbers and then move up in the batting lineup, but even then there are problems."

"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."
