Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

You've probrably answered this question already but, will their be an in game instant replay cam in the full game?????
The Demo does not have one and i would like to make sure the real one does.

there is an instant replay feature. its what I used to take those screenshots above.

you also have the ability to save a replay to your hard drive.

and at the end of the game you have top 3 plays, "great grabs" (basically web gems) and then also highlights for any players who have a worthy highlight.

i'm going to try and get these up on YouTube tomorrow.

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?)

Thank you! first time ive seen people mention anything about online play.

How are the menu? Im always botherd by 2k menu set-ups .. Im assuming its the same as NBA2k9?

Also, is there any way you can play an online match and general impressions on that would be sweet .. Does it play the same as offline?

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

since you can no longer edit stances and deliveries, wondering if you also cant edit accessories anymore?
thanks!

you have full edit abilities as far as accessories, ratings and even contract - even while in a franchise.

and as mentioned you can't edit stances/deliveries. You also can't pick one for a created player, which kind of stinks.

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

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

btw it only seems to do this when you're hitting the A button and skipping any action between pitches.

you don't have different sets like hitting and pitching (total control vs. classic for example).

but you do have a few ways to move guys around with the standard configuration. you can use the right analog to point toward the base you want the guy you're controlling to go to.

so say there's a ball in the gap and you're on first, you can push to 9 o'clock on the right analog and you'll go straight to third.

The triggers will also control one player station to station. The shoulder buttons control all players station to station.

And you can use A to switch between runners.

IMO running is pretty well done, especially stealing.

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

this was said on Wikipedia Players will react properly to such events as a walkoff home run, a no-hitter or a World Series celebration have you experienced that?

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

Even though it's only a season long, can you have two human owners and 28 computer owners in an online league? I'm assuming it's like previous 2K games and you can't.

This was skipped.

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

In the demo, the analog and button fielding controls are both available at the same time. Is it the same way in the retail version? I'm hoping it isn't because I use the analog/total fielding controls and have had my player throw the ball home instead of switching players when pressing the "A" button. Thanks.

Thanks for the info Guru.

Re: MLB 2k9 Questions Thread ...

Is there a way to tone down the ease of pickoffs? I was able to pickoff runners from first pretty much whenever I wanted in the demo?

Also, along with toning down the AI, can you manipulate the sliders to see if the CPU will throw less strikes and/or increase foul balls. I want to see if it's possible to get realistic pitch counts.

Thanks
