It just leads me to believe that this won't be a one time occurrence, even for players weaker than little Nicky.

- you are going over the top now. never played a basketball game and seen someone dunk who never dunks? ever seen a WR burn a db who they'd never burn in real life in madden?

so now we are holding 2ksports to a higher standard than we do other sports video games? an almost unrealistic one at that?

- it's the videos. the HD gaming website has videos up, and they run pretty smooth. so do the ones at gamespot...

It's not that. Since 2K5, it seems as though pitch location, player capabilities, Inside Edge... all of that is pretty much irrelevant. No joke, I've blasted 435 foot home runs with Rich Aurilia in RCF at AT&T Park. That's not just impossible, that's unimaginable. Players like Jhonny Peralta cranking an inside pitch the other way with full authority like Ortiz would with a "meatball" in real life is a simple indication of stuff like this being pretty off.

Remember, a lot of it has to do with the fact that they have an implemented Inside Edge feature not properly working. The other lot has to do with this game's history of having this issue, and that, when comparing to the Ortiz home run that people had a problem with earlier, this one deserves to have a flag thrown.

BTW I have a problem with flashy Derek Fisher dunks in basketball games as well.

Derek Jeter dunking would be even more unrealistic. If Derek Jeter were a basketball player he would be Tony Parker. Totally unrelated.

I hope they got copyright permission from Mattell on the runners moving on the bases graphic. Most of you are way too young, but for those of you who may have played electric baseball, didn't it remind you of that??

Yeah, I shook my head when I saw that as well. Had the ball cleared the fence by a few feet, I would have been ok with it, but that thing cleared the fence by a good 30-40 feet. No way.

Thanks for all the videos Steve. However, I'm getting more and more sceptical as I watch them.
