Does anyone know if the Swing Stick 2.0 (or whatever 2k8's hitting mechanic was called) can be used in 2k9? (Just right stick hitting)

Are the Reds Home uniforms correct? The number should be on the chest not the belly.

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

I know that 2K9 will have a name database what I don't know is does it have a first and last name database?

Thanks....

It has both first and last name. Its setup pretty much the same way College Hoops 2k8 had the naming system. You could enter the name, but then pick a name from a list after typing in a few letters.

For instance I created a C named Larry Taylor. After typing "l-a-r" i moved down and selected Larry. Then did the same for Taylor.

Road - Grey with Arizona in the middle.
Alternate - Red/maroon with a white D-Backs in the middle.
Alternate Home - Black/Dark Grey with an A on the left breast.
Batting Practice - D snake logo and red/maroon
1998 Home - White with Diamond Backs diagonally across the chest.
1998 Road - Grey, pinstrips with Arizona
Cool Base - Similar to Home.

I highly doubt that. The graphic on the uniform selection screen probably just isn't as detailed as the in game uniform.http://gamecinemahd.com/asset/i/d37e...8ff8b3bd52f8bb

Options on the Xbox Live menu:

Ranked Quick Match
Exhibition (Ranked Quick Match, Play a Friend, Custom Match, Create Player Match, Leaderboard).
Card Battle
Home Run Derby
Leagues
Online Features (avatar, player card, leaderboards, online options, faq).

Leagues can have as few as four people and then need to have 2 players all the way up to 30. (so 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.)

Can't tell if the other teams are computer controlled or if a 4 team league means there are just four teams period. This would have fantasy draft implications as well (do you pick from all teams, or just the four in your league?)

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

Can you see if there's a way to turn off the colored flash after each pitch?

Took me a minute to figure out what you meant. I don't see any options to turn that off.

The default batting uses the right stick for your swing. Its a bit different from last year in that you use the left stick to "aim" and the right to stride and then swing.

So last year if you were a righty and wanted to pull you needed to pull back and then swing up toward 10 o'clock. This year you pre-aim the left stick to 10 and then just going back and forward with the right stick.
