+1 on this. I will have that set to "0" day one. I want to time my hits and earn that ball hit to the right side to move a runner. Not make it based on a joystick.

Of course, I may just not even touch the L-Stick, and it won't matter.

Being able to aim where you hit is a big part of real life baseball. Hitters do it all the time.

Thanks TJ

I'll definitely give this game at least a rental at this point.

Yep...if I was a Phillies fan, I'd be having Joe Carter nightmares looking at these.



Looks smooth to me.

Smooth animations, that is a relief, very stiff in the demo.

TJ frame rate? does it appear to be 60fps?

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

Does the framerate seem solid?

EDIT: JoshCA916 beat me to it

TJ, can we create our Olympic Trojans with coach Bob Rhodes? J/k but a serious question is can you use the Dodgers alternate jersey with the 50 year patch they wore last year?

TJ, last slider questions(s) I hope:

1) Can you confirm the sliders have numbers attached to them to show how far they have been moved? (FYI-Last year there were no numbers so every slider change had to be given in the # of clicks from the far left).

2) When changing a slider, is there any sort of definition/description of what each slider does and how moving it left or right will impact the game?

How are the cutscenes like batters walking up to the plate and coming back to the dugout, that is were i notice alot of akward animations like jogging then stopping moving weird etc..... is it smoother then the demo....i dont know if you played the demo.

Did play the demo...and this looks smoother to me. Yuniesky Betancourt just went yard on me (Halladay pitching) and everything about that cutscene looked nice and smooth.

Halladay giving up a homer?

UNREALISTIC

1 - Not that I can find.

2 - Yep...the options are Baggy, High, Low, High Stirrup, and Low Stirrup.

3 - The sleeve length options are Normal, 3/4th, None, and Short. Short is cut off just above the elbow but not at it.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate u answering my question. Unfortunately it looks like the player edit options this year are limited, which really sucks to be honest. It was the one thing I enjoyed the most over The Show. Now, it looks like The Show has updated their player options to be better than 2K. What a bummer! Thanks again. Later

UNREALISTIC

True, lol. He does give up a scatter solo homer, he is around the plate so much. best pitcher in baseball IMO, underrated by the american biased press.

LOL, I can't really say. Because this is my first try at using the little motions to select your pitch, I'm understandably terrible at it. Most guys are swinging...and getting hits...on the first pitch. I'm going to have to hit the practice mode up to learn how to do the pitching, for sure.

TJ frame rate? does it appear to be 60fps?

Yes, it's 60...or close to it.

TJ, can we create our Olympic Trojans with coach Bob Rhodes? J/k but a serious question is can you use the Dodgers alternate jersey with the 50 year patch they wore last year?

No, you cannot create the O-Dawgs because then the game would exceed the maximum amount of awesome that Microsoft permits on their console.

To your other question, nope. The Dodgers' jersey choices are home, road, batting practice, 1913 home, 1913 road, and cool base. All the teams have the cool base jerseys.

TJ, last slider questions(s) I hope:

2) When changing a slider, is there any sort of definition/description of what each slider does and how moving it left or right will impact the game?

Yes, the sliders have numbers. No, I don't see any sort of definition or description pop up when a slider is highlighted.

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

Are there instant replays after nice plays, or are they only showed in between innings?

[jeffy777]

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

Yes, it's 60...or close to it.

Nice. It's a relief to know the framerate isn't going to be an issue this year
