I'll give it a shot later on.

Thank you. Could you check if you can do zone hitting without using the swing stick (ie, by using classic/one-button hitting) when you do? I think it was said we couldn't, but one of the control option screens made it look like it was possible. You are a real American hero...

TJ or chase,

My question(s) is this:

1. Are the graphics and lighting much better than the demo. It seemed like it was washed out a bit.

2. Is the black fade out and in between innings in the game or is there an actual transition?

3. You answered the pants question but I have to piggy back and ask you said there was a baggy, and a low set of pants. Does this mean like over the cleats low or is it more to the top of the cleat. And baggy, I guess the question is when you look at big pappi or better yet manny ramirez, does it look like him and the gear he wears or is it wierd lookin?

4. Did you find out if the himerun celebration animations with the teams were in b/c as eluded to earlier it was cut from the demo. Things like the bell animation in citiznes bank park and such. Did that change or is it bland

1 - Looks the same as the demo to me.

2 - It's between innings, just like the demo.

3 - It's like rolled over the top of the cleats, sort of. Ortiz wears the "Baggy" style pants.

4 - The only HR's I've seen so far came from the visiting team and there wasn't much celebration at all, really.

as another person who did not play last year's game, are there tutorials or at least a pretty good manual?

That's going to raise a firestorm of complaints!

Are there any replays shown during the game, like after a double play or in between innings?

Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&A)

When a player is coming to bat and they zoom in on him, does his shadow (from his helmet on his jersey for example) look jagged like it did in the demo, or is it smooth?

Sorta jaggy but not terribly so.

TJdaSportsGuy thanks for your answers

alwayz0npoint you're welcome for my answers

Well, since you didn't play much of the demo, can you give some general impressions of the visuals with regard to player faces, animations, stadiums and field, etc

I stated earlier in this thread I'm not really going to get into giving opinions on stuff...I'm here more to answer questions that have a definitive answer, like "Is that there? Is this jersey right?" sorta stuff. The visuals look good, stadiums are nice looking too. But I'm much less critical than many of you in regards to these types of things so take that for what it's worth.

Just basically if your fielding the ball and want to switch guys is it going to pre load a throw home?

Well, I just tried to do that and it didn't have me throwing home. I'm not sure if it's exactly the situation you were talking about, but so far so good.

Thank you. Could you check if you can do zone hitting without using the swing stick (ie, by using classic/one-button hitting) when you do? I think it was said we couldn't, but one of the control option screens made it look like it was possible. You are a real American hero...

Yes, that appears to be an option.

Don't have the technical capabilities, sorry.

as another person who did not play last year's game, are there tutorials or at least a pretty good manual?

LOL, the manual is 8 pages long. They must've went to the EA School of Manual Writing. There is a practice mode though.

Are there any replays shown during the game, like after a double play or in between innings?

Yes, there are in-game replays.

I won't be.

Anyway, installing this thing to HDD then I will begin answering stuff.

Good to hear

I actually like the between inning fade in and out.

Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&A)

This is kinda off the wall TJ but has anyone played or even heard if the game plays and looks the same on PS3?

Re: Why Do I Do This To Myself: I Have a Copy of MLB 2K9 (Q&A)

Here is a randomly specific question:

When you get a chance, can you play as the Yankee's and once a ball is hit to Damon, run to middle/deep CF and throw it home at his max strength (fill up the meter) and let us know:
A) If there it has some air under it (a bit of a rainbow)
B) Where it bounces
C) Where it ends up at

or just

D) If you think it is realisitic

In some of the earlier video's, his arm (and everyone elses) were too string...and there is not fielder throw speed slider this year.

Thanks!

Is the rain delay bug fixed?
How do you fix it so the AI takes more strikes?
