    wow, PNC Park looks GREAT in that video. Much more accurate than the other game. I might have to pick this one up this year.

      Just to show 2K and the rest of these evil, terrible designers and big-bucks companies that I WON'T take it anymore, I pulled out the Sega Genesis from behind the stack of National Geographics in the hall closet and will be playing World Series Baseball this season.

      Well, that is, after I pick up 2K9 on Tuesdays if it IS this bad then you're damned right it's World Series Baseball for me.

      Probably.

      Maybe. If I can find the darned thing and the controllers still work. I suppose I could just keep playing 2K8 then...um, if I hadn't thrown out the Xbox that is...crap.
      Hilarious rant.

        PNC Park looked better in 2K7 imo but, it still looks good in 2K9. The bright yellow P behind plate should be dimmed a little bit from what I've seen but, it's ok.

                All right, I'm resuming the QA now. I'll go back to where I left off and go from there, answering other random stuff along the way.

                    Set the difficulty setting to the highest setting and start a CPU vs CPU game. Let it rock for 3 or so innings and sum up what you saw. LOL, sorry if I seem demanding.

                      hey chase i don't know if you have the answere to this but i know you said you e-mailed 2k a couple of times and had ps3 questions you asked about, i asked kcxiv and he never answered me, but does the ps3 version have custom soundtracks like the 360 version does?

                      Oh and i do have something i know you can answere what is your opinion on zone hitting? all these people have the game and nobody has used it makes me wonder if it isn't what people are expecting it to be

                        ChaseB,

                        Someone posted a video of the Pirates wearing their new black uniforms and a shorter video of them wearing their away gray uniforms but, can you tell me what throwback jersey's they have in the game ?

                              My time with the game is still somewhat limited (see: my opinion could change) -- and I'm playing it on the out-of-the-box settings -- but I would say the demo is a solid indication of what the final holds in terms of the batter/pitcher interaction (pre-sliders, and on the default difficulty).

                              And to be clear, I don't think the issue is so much that you cannot get guys to swing and miss at balls out of the strike zone or anything, but rather, far and away, swinging strikes outweigh strikes looking. It's somewhat compounded by the fact that there is not enough foul tips and stuff along those lines.

                              While hitting, I do like how the pitcher comes at you for the most part. In my games so far, the pitchers really try to work you low and away much of the time, but I've seen a few relievers come in and change it up and challenge me high in the strike zone. It's too early and I'm too rusty to really tell if the balls to strikes is solid because I'm probably swinging at a lot of junk, but I would like to swing and miss more than I do.

                              I think the MLB 2K strike zone is still debatable too, sometimes I want to call QuesTec after some of the low/outside strikes that are called.

                                how's curser hittting (yellow bat) and classic pitching and is it true classic pitching with no icons on screen or does it have the expanding yellow circle etc. like 2k7 had (never played 2k8), thanks.
