Nice read thank you Chase. I am definitely going to give the game a test drive this year!

Hmm...you may be right. I mostly passed over 2K8 and put 2K9 down fairly early, so maybe I "misremembered"

You're right about the steals too. Very frustrating. I LOVE the concept though. If they got rid of the delay and made it more responsive it could be a big plus for the series IMO.

That and the auto picks by the pitcher once you exceeded a three step lead, IMO, killed the system. My guys getting back standing up from a three step lead on a lefty with a "slow as molasses" move to first and if I try to extend my lead to a fourth step, I draw an infinite amount of automatic throws over from the pitcher. As if he didn't realize the last 5 times he tried that weak sauce move it wasn't even close...so hey, lets try it again.

As always Chase thanks again. I am optimistic from your preview, that the series is finally heading in the right direction. Glad to hear once again that the team really did a lot of polishing & fine-tuning this time around.

I am really forward to seeing these NEW ANIMATIONS in action. 1 thing VC is very good @ is creating really solid animations. Looks like we just might have a very playable game this year.

I don't want to start a debate about how it's not needed, how it is needed, as that is up to the gamer who is playing and spending his dough, but some confirmation if it's totally out.

Looked good for the most part, but I still see a bit of the jerky movement showing it's ugly head still, not as bad as years past, but I still see it.

I hope that the CPU AI didn't remove the CPU pitcher after about 4 innings of work while having only thrown 40-50 pitches. :-)

All-in-all, I'm looking forward to this game as I saw the potential in MLB2K9 (even through all of the bugs and glitches). Keeping my fingers crossed.

Chase, you didn't mention anything about presentation. Rumor has it that there'll be an MLB Today feature like the NBA game. Any thoughts on commentary, in between innings boxscores, post game wrapups?

i'm interested in knowing if the fielding camera has been lowered, or if there are more than one fielding camera now? I hated last year's cam.
