Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
I agree with the above comments as well, in the video with the 3B dive, you barely see the 3B get momentum to throw the ball to first, it is like they skipped frames in animation to throw it. Man the throw from the RF was REDICULOUS, there is no way that he would hit anywere near 3rd base it would stop rolling. Try doing that in MVP and the 3B would need to come and get the ball which is REAL LIFE. UGH gets me soooo mad its like 2K never watched baseball.
IF and this is a big if, that framerate is anywere near that bad there she be a boycott to end the 2k exclusive contract. Its rediculous that THE SHOW can bring us a deep sim that lacked graphics but caught up a this year. And we get 2k which looks just like last year, and supposedly the gameplay has been reworked and i see the same exact fielding problems like last year. The demo better play better then i saw or its over for 2k. And then MLB2k8 has become the MADDEN of EA.
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.

The fact that the AI takes advantage of an opportunity like that was really great to see. 
This would mean you need to look down the runner, then go to first, something never really done in baseball games before.
