As April is upon us, it’s once again time to break out the gloves and partake in America’s pastime. With last year’s controversially awful product turning fans off of the 2K franchise, many gamers will approach Major League Baseball 2K10 with great caution.

For instance, throwing two consecutive hits with runners on board will create enough stress to speed up the pitching motions, which is more likely to cause a pitcher to make mistakes and throw something regrettable. The whole process is fairly intuitive, consistent, and works extremely well. (more…)
