Baseballking999 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I wonder in this game they will have the classic uniforms like the other 2K games do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDudleyDoWright Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I played it, def an improvement from last year. Few thing that bugs me though. -Fielding is a bit sluggish -some player movements during cut scenes are a bit blocky. Other than that, i didn't notice anything wrong with it, looks good, plays good. Not a VAST OMG IT'S STUNNING improvement, but the game is playable something 2K couldn't do last year. Everything like hitting, pitching seems to be balanced. Hopefully the final product can smooth out the aformentioned flaws. The game seems like it could be a hit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 im still going to rent it first. only because of 2k's track record with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynNets24 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 the demo didnt impress me much. I liked the fact that i would mess up pitches and it wouldnt go 500 feet but the fielding is terrible id try to charge up my throw before i recieve the ball but the player just stutters and you have to charge up your throw again.The graphics are meh the pictures they had looked way better then what was shown in the demo.The bat sound actually doesnt sound bad it sounds a little different from the sound in the videos. I dont like how you have to Press A to switch fielders it doesnt give me enough time to switch fielder then run after the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titleistxxx Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 For those of you that have played the demo, how does it compare to the MVP 08 mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball13 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm going to buy 2K9 first baseball PC game since ea's MVP baseball 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil1182 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not to crazy about it. I played it four times and it doesn't seem right. It's definitely better than 2K8, but that's not saying much, 2K8 was a mess and unplayable. The things I don't like were in it last year and still there. Swinging animations look off, bad collision data, after a pickoff the 1B throws it back to the pitcher and his whole body goes right through the player, the dugout guys upper bodies goes right through the fence. Most of the time when the fielder throws the ball it looks as if his hand is aiming in a different direction than where the ball goes, I don't know, it looks weird. I don't understand why the players run like that, they just don't look right. The sound of the ball hitting the bat is horrific and annoying, the cyberfaces are just plain awful again, they should hire some of the guys from here to do them, but at least they updated the portraits. I'm still going to rent it and possibly buy it, I'm getting sick of playing MVP and since there will be no Citi Field anytime soon, that's my deal breaker. I think they could have done more, but at least for the time being, the framerate looks smooth, except for foul balls, but NBA 2K9 was like that during free throws and they fixed that with a patch, but not entirely. All in all, it's an OK game. I could only imagine what MVP would've been like these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSabathiaEra Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 What i really like is how they brought the NBA 2k9 menus in the game. Like many have said this is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titleistxxx Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 it would make no sense to compare. I should have clarified. I understand that the graphics are better and gameplay is different. I meant on "fun factor" and "replayability". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Would OS know if that was a 50% build? I have not played the demo, but that's a great question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Would OS know if that was a 50% build? I have not played the demo, but that's a great question. From what I can gather thru all the sniping going on over there... I believe the demo is older than the build Steve was posting his videos from.

baseballfans Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Someone post that when batting your teammate who is behind you or coming up to bat for some crazy reason start standing in front of you.

RaptorQuiz Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Reminds me vaguely of how annoyed I am every time the homerun celebrations in MVP05 (and 06 and 07 and 08) are ruined by the catcher coming up out of his squat and stepping to the plate.

Pirate Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 We can laud the positive aspects of the game, but where does that get us on making sure the inaccuracies and deficiencies are corrected? When MVP 2004 was released five years ago it had some issues, but it also had many features that are lacking in this game. If the ability for take-out slides was available in a game five years ago, then why is it not in this game? When a player throws to a base, that layer should look at the base he is throwing. Again this was in High Heat back in the early part of this decade, but is absent here. Collision detection should have been more refined. Some of the collision issues are terrible. A player just stands over home plate while another bats… this is unacceptable for a major company. As I have pointed out, Wall height is not a nitpicky complaint; it’s a real game play issue. It’s lazy to let this pass. Missing animation frames when a batter moves to put the bat on his shoulder is another feature that should have not been overlooked. Then there are issues that many of you are calling nitpicky: Clouds moving too fastBall being too bigToo many of the same adsAdding in buildings for the sake of advertisement Many of these issues seem small and insignificant, but games many years ago had these issues ironed out. For the sake of technological advancement this game should too. I don’t understand why people are giving this game and company a free pass to produce a game that is inferior to its counterparts of today and yesteryear. If these issues are not voiced, 2K will have no reason to fix them and produce a more complete videogame experience. Seeing as they hold exclusive multi-platform rights to Major league Baseball, we can only hope they take our concerns and act on them. Avoiding the inaccuracies and deficiencies will only get the consumer another poor game for your $60 or even the $20 PC price-point. In this economy, I want a quality product for that kind of money. MLB 2K9 is not that product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
