It's weird because when they swing and hit the homerun, their shoes are black. What the hell are you talking about?

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

The more I watch the videos the more I realize I'm probably going to love this game as much as I did 2K7, even with all the nagging flaws that haven't been fixed. The pitching system and fielding fixes look like it will really help.

I'm looking forward to playing the demo.

what is racist about his comment? The word black

. He said he thinks when they hit HR's the shoes turn from black to white.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

I love how IGN is still clueless about the screenshot situation, you think we would be able to see those remaining screens by now.

It's the weekend so they probably don't have anyone around to update it.

You can see them- just look through what's there and keep pushing "previous" at the first screen (it seems they have the "new" screens as 1-10, but just aren't listed or clickable). It will take you through them- however I will say there's nothing special there.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

The above is correct.

wow, you're right... on both accounts

no wonder the didn't want to link them easily... nothing special.. quite ugly actually as they are just taken from the videos

looks much better in motion than those stills

your right, it works...The screens still did nothing for me...

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

Why would 2k put so much faith in IGN? Why not send a disc to Operation Sports, these guys know baseball. IGN has butchered our first look at this game.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

Not impressed. Waited all that time for this? Ugh.

Seems like they spent a lot of time fixing the average gameplay from last year, so that's always good...

Uni's are still flapping like they're playing in a windstorm (and the ball doesn't seem to be as effected as the UNI's are).

Love how the man on 2nd breaks for 3rd on the throw to first... great stuff.

I love the whole look... very ESPN-ish... but the stuttering on camera angle switches is downright TERRIBLE.

Looks ok... but I'm VERY happy there is an alternative, that's for sure.

Ok good, so I'm not the only one. Can one of the developers visiting the forum make a comment about this?? It's not the video (like others have commented.), and yes I have viewed both the HD and standard version of the videos. Others might think it's not a big deal, but for me it is.

Let's hope it gets optimized for the final build of the game, and the stuttering in the infield once a ball is put into play is fixed. To me it's unacceptable in today's standards, to have a next gen game that doesn't run at an acceptable fps.

Look across at the competition, and you will see that this is not evident.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

After watching the videos:

positives

* The presentation is very good.

* The lighting is just gorgeous. Playing a game in Fenway while the sun is setting is beautiful.

* The player models are looking good as always.

* the stadiums are gorgeous.

negatives

* Commentary is dull and boring

* when Reynolds hit the ball into the right field corner and the RF threw the ball from the wall all the way to 3B without the ball ever losing momentum is a little worrisome.

* every ball hit sounds as though its going to travel lightyears

* the wind effects on the uniforms is overdone.

* the stadiums still seem "small". I don't know why but they do.

But at this point everything, especially the negatives, have to be taken with a grain of salt because there is no telling how early of a build those videos are from. There's still the demo as well as the final product. Time will tell.

Very good points. The biggest problem I have thus far from what I have seen is that they failed to address the fact that there is friction when the ball hits the ground. That throw from RF to 3B was ridiculous. If you watch, the cutoff man never caught the ball and the ball landed in the OF grass and skipped and rolled all the way to 3B without losing any momentum. Its almost like there is no point to a cutoff man because you can make that throw without losing anything. Ugh.
