It's nearly time for baseball season to begin again. With Spring Training about to take place for the MLB, gamers are about to get their practice swings down, too. 2KGames and Visual Concepts took the problematic MLB 2K9 title from last year, drafted a few new prospects and better tuned their talent from 2K9 into more well-rounded players for 2010 season. Coming off a rough year with a glitch ridden 2K9, 2KGames and Visual Concepts took better care of America's pastime with 2K10. The big question this year is though, even with some refinements and better tuned overall gameplay, is MLB 2K10 a contender for this year's baseball crown?

XMNR: With the American and National League Championship games still to go, 2K Sports ran a simulation to determine who will capture the conference championships and go on to win the World Series. The result is a prediction that, after dispatching the home town Atlanta Braves, the San Francisco Giants do likewise with the Philadelphia Phillies before going on to meet and defeat the New York Yankees in the World Series.
Andrew Reiner: "Each year, I simulate the season in any baseball game that hits the market. Outside of telling me that the Yankees have a shot at winning the World Series, most simulations are way off the mark. But in a season that doesn't make sense, how close do the games come? Let's take a look to see how accurate Major League Baseball 2K10 and MLB 10: The Show are in their simulations."
