    Am I the only one who thinks it looks awesome?

    We saw four pitchers...and four different custom pitching windups.

    The new homerun camera is AWESOME....although I would love to have seen the fans catch the ball, I can deal with it if they dont.

    I thought the lighting at Fenway looked awesome. Is it just me or does the night game look a little darker and more realistic now?

    I loved Big Papi's follow through.

    The new throw meter looks difficult. That's what I want!! I would win games 10-15 to zero every game last season...even on high difficulties. I want a challenge.

    I think the dirt effect is cool.


    I cant wait to see more of this game. The animations looked smoother too...60fps!!!

      I agree, I took a lot more positives from the vids than negatives. And the negatives that bothered me were mostly presentation (the sucky-*** HR celebrations especially, how they ignored this is beyond me).

      The throw from RF to 3B was gameplay related and bugged me, but that was clearly due to the person playing being a moron. In that situation you throw the ball to the cutoff man, not to 3B! Even if you accidentally throw it to 1B, I saw the icon for him to press the button to get it cutoff. He let it roll all the way to 3B. User stupidity. I'm positive the AI won't do anything like that.


      All I know is that I'm in love with the new HR camera. The 4 pitching motions look sick. The new pitching system looks fun. The throwing meter looks awesome, and the graphics look the same as last years. All positives.

      We would probably get a better sense of improved gameplay if IGN puts the game on Legend and plays CPU vs CPU. This way we can see if the CPU will walk people, draw walks, field smarter, ect. Gimme 3 innings of that over 2 jerkwads playing on Rookie throwing 75% meatballs.

        Also, why on earth do people putting out vids always pitch with Wang? It really bugs me. I want to see Hughes' sig style so badly. Wang's sig motion is perfect, though. But it was perfect last year, so nothing new.

            I agree! I think they just use the #1 pitcher on the staff. I cant wait to see his.

            Also, last year I found that Ian Kennedy and Roy Halladay have a very similar motion in real life. If Ian doesnt have his signature style, you should give him Roy's

                I don't know why it's getting ripped either, I love it.

                  I thinks the graphics look great. Hopefully we get to play the Demo soon.

                    I think the HR camera looks pretty good too. On another note, what is going on with the people sitting in the monster seats at Fenway? Everyone is dressed in black?

                        Flaxseed,
                        No your not the only one who thinks that this game is awesome and that the initial negative on slot was a bit much...

                        I'm all for genuine critiquing, it's what helps to build a better game,but the personal attacks are uncalled for...

                        The 2K people are dedicated to put out the best baseball game they possibly can, I believe this game will surprise most critics...

                        I think the Short Stop with his hands in the air trying to get the cut-off from a fan in the bleachers, was there because someone pushed the wrong button...

                        I of course love everything visually about this game, from the stadiums warm glow at twilight time, to the new animations, the incredible faces and player models...We all know this game is hard to beat visually, although The Show has made great strides this year...

                        I have faith that Ben and Kush are straight with us when they say that game-play is greatly improved...

                        So sit back, wait and see for yourself...

                        I'm blown away with what I've seen so far, nothing is perfect, so keep posting your improvements...

                        Scooter...

                          Maybe they all just came from a "Metallica" concert. Who knows?
