    To be consistent with the game while making this throw Evan disappeared only to reappear trapped in the crowd with the ball ending up in the outfield as the left and center fielders collide and the ball then bouncing up and hitting the right fielder in the head as the hitter runs home for an inside the park homerun, only to be then stuck in an animation loop running around the plate

    @THEMISSING: No kidding.

    The death of the Triple Play series has killed baseball games the past few years.

    Sadly, the Bigs and The Bigs 2 are the best of the bunch.

    (Yes, yes, I know The Show is *awesome* and all of that... but the presentation was brutal, and I don't have a PS3 anymore )

    @Yossarian: Did you play "The Show 09"? That was an amazing game. For some reason, not too much was added from 08 to 09, but it seemed like a lot. It was a fantastic game and I'm still playing my Road to the Show guy to this day. I'll be picking up 10 in March on day 1.

    @ttocs: I played 08 and was underwhelmed.

    I desperately wanted The Show's gameplay and 2k9's graphics. Seems like they can only deliver one or the other.

    That said, I didn't give it a very good shake. I think expectations were too high, popped it in and was just immediately bored.

    To be fair, I may have just burned myself out on franchise modes in sports games in general. I went from playing 10+ seasons in EA's 05 game, and 7-10 seasons in each Madden, to not bothering with football at all the past three years, and being so pissed by the baseball games that I'm swearing them off as well.

    Evan is a great pick for the cover. He's a fresh face, young and upcoming star, and by no means shrouded in the steroid light. He's what baseball should be turning into. We need to get away from the Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriquez style players who have tainted the sport with steroids. Good choice by 2K to put Evan there. As an Oriole fan, I know that my team won't be putting up any stars anytime soon, so might as well root for the new blood.

    And by the way, 6 is my favorite. Most game covers seem to have batting stances on the covers. Would be nice to see some defense thrown in. And it has to be a silver background...God forbid some company make a red cover and have Mario all over their asses!

    Whenever celebrities or public figures announce that they play some game it's always one of the most mainstream games out there. Always Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Mario Bros., etc. It has the feel of PR and posturing.

    @Bouchart: Well, if there is one athlete who isn't a fan of media attention it's him. He quit baseball at one time because he suffers from social anxiety disorder and couldn't handle the attention and expectations associated with being a MLB pitcher.

    It's kind of nice for someone like Zack to show people that all "gamers" aren't un-athletic. I played soccer and tennis all through high school and college and still give tennis lessons for extra cash when I have the time.

    The red backdrops make me think that they're going to do a CE for 2K10, which would be insane since they've been struggling to make a mediocre baseball for a few years.

    The bigger issue is why these covers say 2K10's the tenth anniversary of the series since it started with World Series Baseball 2k2, which only means that this is the eighth anniversary and ninth entry in the series. #mlb2k10

    @fauxbravo: Oh, agreed, but I mean, that top picture is one of the most awkward, misplaced cover images I've seen. With sports titles, you need the action shot. The game isn't about the player; it's about the sport. #mlb2k10

    Every year I look forward to this game, thinking it's going to be good. Every year I have been massively disappointed.

    Fifth time's the charm. #mlb2k10

    @Tom Servo: You should probably start playing "The Show" instead. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than 2K. #mlb2k10

    @bangbangblah: I would love to play that, and always gush over the screenshots when it comes out, but I only have a 360. If somehow they could secure the rights and get it ported to the rest of the systems I would definitely get it, but that seems unlikely. #mlb2k10

    @Tom Servo: If you had given up on buying MLB 2k for the past five years and used that money to pay for a PS3 instead, you could have it right now. ; )

    Or you could just hit up TV's Frank for one . . .

    I doubt you'll get it ported, though, since it's a Sony product. If you have a PS2, you could check out last year's version. Sure, the graphics aren't quite the same, but even the PS2 version is better than the current 2K games, in my opinion. #mlb2k10

    I really don't like the red in the cover. I'd prefer one of the two white designs, probably the bottom left choice.

    Of course, I'm probably not going to buy the game anyway, so what does my opinion matter? #mlb2k10
