Re: New Screenshots!

The chalk line doesn't show wear. Why is the bat blue?

Consider yourself lucky. I had this ....

Re: New Screenshots!

Who cares? Seriously? That's like people complaining about the quality of the face's of the players in a NFL game when you can't even see thier faces...who gives a rip. I'm not suggesting all would be cool if the graphics were RBI basball quality but come on...Look ma!!! no I black!!! How did we ever survive?

correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't our goal to get the most realistic representation of the sport of baseball?

And I care.

I noticed the glasses and eye black in 2k8 when I played that game, mostly while the person was batting, but sometimes in the field. I really hope they give us an option, like in 2k, for the player to be able to just wear the sun glasses in the field or just while batting.

Re: New Screenshots!

for those of you that play on top of the line or near top of the line pcs with the money for top end graphics cards cant judge the graphics in this to any of that. we are still on our consoles still MANY generations behind what the best graphics cards on pcs can or will produce... i understand this, i see it and understand... it isnt that hard to understand... until we get to where our game consoles , no scratch that no matter how far our consoles go someone will always say that it still loooks old shcool or not real enough... well unless yoru going to pay $3000 for a game console made by Alienware you will have to deal with the less than perfect graphics when it comes to certain aspects in yoru games... as in bushes etc...

I think these screens look fantastic.

There is NOTHING in them showing any steps backwards. The textures are as crisp as they were in '08. And it appears the color pops a bit more, which to me, is an improvement.

Also, you can clearly tell the lighting and shadowing have improved. Especially the HDR lighting off the players and field from the time of day progression.

It is going to be sick graphically. 700 added animations with 400 more presentation screens. The HDR lighting more prominent due to the 'time of day' progression, and it is a winner in my book.

Personally you will NOT see a huge improvement until the new player models. But for the fact it didn't take 10 steps backwards graphically like 2K8 did from 2K7, but rather some nice steps forward is a HUGE plus for my baseball gaming.

Deja Vu part 2001 in a series of a million. Each year screen shots released same statements. And for those who say PS3 can't push textures is just silly.

I agree I think this game is going to be a marked improvement over 08 just based on the lighting and shading effects.

Just to get this straight their are going to be 700 new gameplay animations and 400 new presentation screens.....re cutscenes?

That is what was released in the press-release.

Screenshots rarely do anything for a game, normally the game winds up looking a lot better

[bfindeisen]

nobody is bashing the game, only providing their opinions on what they see.

I agree with just about all the "negative" posts in here thus far. But as I said, last year, the screenshots didn't do the game justice and I suspect that will be the same this year. I'll reserve my judgments on the game and how it looks when I either:

A) see video of it in motion from a third party(someone other than Sony)

B) when I play and see the game for myself, on my television.

I don't know why people are getting bent out of shape because someone isn't singing the praises of the graphics. And one more thing, I like the fact that people are having to be nitpicky to find fault. Shows how great the game is already.

I rarely agree with any of Countryboy's posts, but he is spot on here...all the Show Defenders are the ones who need to relax...what's wrong with discussing what we seen in the damn screenshots? It's not like we're gonna say the game sux...it is just natural to look for improvements over last year, and besides the colors and day lighting, not much looks improved in these screens even tho it is early

Re: New Screenshots!

Wow, good job showing me a picture of an unfinished stadium.

They haven't put up the blue padding yet. Do you really think they are going to play baseball with concrete walls painted green? Come on.

sorry dude... i wish you was right but thats not paint on the wall. thats dark green padding.
you cant always go by the renders they put out. for example the mets have yellow foul poles in the renders but they are orange in real life.
