You have only so many attempts of a certain pitch type to hit that target, and the more areas you hit, the more skill points you'll earn at the end of the drill. With the former, you have to hit certain areas of the strike zone with a certain type of pitch. I saw control and velocity, as well as contact and power, in action. Ĝontrol and velocity (pitching) -Ĝomposure and stamina (pitching) -Ĝontact and power (hitting) - Plate battle (hitting) - Lead off and jump (running) -Ědvancing and sliding (running) New position drills will let you focus on specific skills away from actual game situations. Producers told me that an evenhanded approach to progress is probably best because if you dump too many skill points into a few areas in order to get an early call-up, your resulting deficiencies in other areas of your game might mean a quick trip back to the minors. Or you can spend a big chunk of points and add an additional pitch or two to your arsenal (you start with three pitches in the beginning). As a pitcher, you can spend skill points on your current pitches to improve their speed or accuracy. You can spend skill points on whatever player attributes you like-dumping all your points into one or two areas or spreading things around and trying to progress a bit more evenly. I haven't played enough of the mode myself to see if this means you'll get an earlier call-up than you might in the Career mode in Sony's MLB series, but it certainly seems that way in the early goings. However, if you meet all of the requirements listed on your My Player menu, you are guaranteed to get called up. Your first moments in My Player mode will put your on the spot in a clutch situation.ĭepending on the situation of your organization, you might get called up earlier than expected-such as when a key member of the MLB roster is hurt. There's even a meter that gives you an ETA on when you're expected to get the call up that is based on your current attributes-the more that meter is filled, the closer you are to getting the call. These included having two pitches rated at 60 or above, a composure rating above 60, a stamina rating above 65, and a pitching rating against both left-handed and right-handed batters above 60. For example, in order for my pitcher to get called up, he had to have at least five starts under his belt, as well as some very specific attribute and statistical goals. A handy menu screen will present you with the precise criteria you'll need to meet in order to earn your way onto the MLB roster for your team. Getting called up to the major leagues is any baseball player's dream, and in My Player mode, there will be very little mystery about what you need to do to get promoted. And while there's little that's utterly new in 2K's version of a baseball game Career mode (beyond the high drama of your debut, with its slow-mo camera pans and tense musical score), the mode does look like a fun alternative to the more traditional modes in MLB 2K10, like exhibition games or Franchise mode. As a result, including My Player in MLB 2K10 was a virtual certainty. My Player mode was included in last year's NBA 2K10 and career modes have become increasingly popular in sports games.
But completing your goal will earn you extra skill points, which you'll put toward your player's attributes on his way to getting the call up to the big leagues. As a pitcher, I actually let a runner score but managed to send the game into extra innings, where my Tennessee Smokies eventually lost. It's not the end of the world if you don't come up big in the clutch. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
