    More of what we saw but they did say the game will be in stores March 2nd (2.50 mark). I wonder when we get to see real screen shots and video...

            Why would you assume it would blow? By focusing on Signiture Styles implies to me that they are trying to make the game look as realistic as possible on the field.

            Hopefully they tweaked and messed around with ball physics, etc too.

              I don't understand your logic. Haven't they focused on signature styles the last couple of years (along with their ever present need to change control configurations of course). I don't see how it will lead to a more realsitic game. I would prefer that they really focus on tightening up the gameplay elements this year.

              Not saying you're wrong, I just don't follow your logic on this.

                Yeah, I should have edited that.

                But to make the game "look" more real, not necessarily (sp) the gameplay more realistic but physically make the game look real.

                That's why I added in the ball physics line, because I want both. lol

                  when are they gonna focus on making the ball move like a real ball, and sound like a real ball when it hits the bat? They difinitely need to focus on ball physics....

                    Nothing wrong with making it look real, but sig styles just shouldnt be the number 1 priority heck it shouldnt even be there 50th priority, I know they didnt say that but one thing youll know if youve been following the 2k series is that this sounds like the cover story, theyll go on about how great certain things will be meanwhile the gameplay is still in awful shape.
                    Its just typical of 2k, if signature styles is all 2k9 has going for it they are in big trouble. But dont worry theyll come out soon enough with gameplay vids but I still wont trust them yet.

                    Listening to 2k sports press is like listening to a stripper, theyll tell you everything you want to hear but really its all BS they too just want your money. lol

                      It doesn't say our number one focus is sig styles. It just says they are focusing on it. I am sure they know they have a lot to do with the gameplay. Guess we will find out soon.

                        I know how 2k is but I'm giving them cudos for coming out with this stuff already. It wasn't until January something of 2008 before heard about 2k8. This is a new company working on the game, I'm giving them a fresh start marketability wise.

                          The end animation worries me a bit. I guess they said that was the girl that was mo-capped? To say that "she throws like a girl" is a huge understatement.

                          Half of the time, their mo-cap stuff has them looking like they're going to throw 30 MPH as the ball zings 90 MPH. I hope that isn't going to be the case this time around.

                            I agree bud.

                            Some animations are a little awkward.

                              The more realistic lifelike animations, the better. I'm sure the gameplay will be altered in a number of ways. Whether it will be for the better or make the game even worse is anyones guess. It was quite shocking how terrible both the graphics & gameplay really were in 2K8..... especially the PS3 version.
