Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 First Look Preview

I'm taking a completely cool and unattached approach to this game. Last year's was ok but it wasn't what it should've been.

I do like some of the presentation aspects that seem to be coming our way though.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 First Look Preview

I really believe the only thing stopping 2K from releasing significant info is the fact that Front-Office Manager is to be released in 2 weeks. They have done this with games in the past as well...this includes the best NBA simulation, the NBA 2K series...after hockey was released we got a pretty good amount of info pertaining to NBA...I believe MLB 2K9 info will be released starting Jan. 29...who knows, maybe the first info we get will be a demo....that would be worth the wait.

I can totally see that logic, but there has even been limited info about FOM from 2k. Its what, 2 weeks from shipping? No vids, no demo, the dev diaries stopped and the screens have been limited.

I have bought every installment of this game dating back to WSB 2k3 on release day.

This year I will be waiting until I see the reaction of this board before I pick it up. I have confidence the Show will be good enough to hold me over.

I own both systems and love The Show but I am hoping to add a baseball game to my 360 library.

I am concerned that there has been zero screen shots or videos of 2K9. The last two games, to my knowledge, with this little information released so close to release was NBA Live 07 and MLB 2K8. We all know how those two games fared.....

The more realistic and SIM 2k makes it, the better it will be received...

People can always turn down to Rookie if they want easy.....

Pitchers should throw more balls(including humans), and better use(as in actually using) of the bullpen by the CPU are just 2 big things I can think of...

And the steals and H&Runs fro the CPU offense

I want the camera system changed to User/CPU instead of the Home/Away system. Home/Away changes and it's a pain to keep flipping the cameras around.
