Jay Iwahashi, online producer, brings you all the things 2K  have in store for you in terms of Online play in Major League Baseball®2K10. The biggest change they made this year is Seamless Online Integration. 2K have torn down the wall between the online and offline worlds so that those of you who love to play online no longer have to jump through hoops just to play another human being. 

On the revolutionized Team Select screen, you will see two new options – Ranked and Invite Friends. Simply choose one or continue on to an offline game by toggling the Quick Game option. Although 2K limit the Ranked option to exhibition Play Ball games only, the Invite Friends option is included in MLB Today, as well as your own Franchise. So now you can invite your friend to play as the opposing team rather than playing against the AI over and over. That keeps Franchise mode fresh and exciting.

This is the main link to connect you to online play. You can access the Who’s Online menu from most areas of the game. You will be able to quickly find Party members, Friends, and view other gamers that have made themselves available for a quick game. We show you their reputation icon as well as ping/signal strength, and you’ll can access their 2K Sports Profile to get even more detailed information. All this information allows you to make an informed decision as to what your gameplay experience may be like. Select any gamer shown and you’ll be able to send an invitation to play a game tailored to your preferences, including Strikes Only and Classic Controls. If you want to use your Card Team, you can set that up as well. 

Leagues

Online Leagues continue to be a strong choice. Play with 4 to 30 teams in a 10-162 game season or create a tournament with up to 16 teams. Creation options include fantasy drafting, flexible schedules, and custom difficulty sliders. Like Strikes Only? 2K have got you covered. They included the option to change the DH rule so you can have your league play by your rules.
