Dare I ask about the PS2 version...

Re: Dare I ask about the PS2 version...

Truth be told, judging by my first impression, if you already have The Show 09 or another baseball game your pretty happy with....I wouldn't recommend anyone get this one. The game just had a "funky" feel to it imo.

Well, at least 2K sold a copy. That'll supply the development team with donuts for the coffee room for a day.

Thanks for the reply, bsb. I sort of expected comments like that as well as baa7's about the amount of attention paid to this. Between HH and The Show, I will be in baseball heaven for the rest of the summer and beyond. Thanks, fellas!

I knew it was a gamble buying this game. You win some, you lose some.

Cant go wrong with those two games. I actually used to love 2k baseball games back in the day, but after 2k5 it was all down hill.

Between HH...

Sammy Sosa HHB 2001! One of my all-time favorites. And the players didn't look like alien invaders ala HH 2002 and 2003.

You know, I was thinking of finding my old PC copy of Sammy sosa 2001 and re installing. Didn't that one have old stadiums like Ebbets Field?
You want to talk about players looking like aliens? Remember the first baseball games on the Atari 2600? I think it was called Home Run or something. It was like they took the Space Invader characters and put them on a diamond.

HH 2002 and 2003 had the old stadiums as well, did they not?

I'm unfamiliar with any console game before 2004. I was a PC gamer for years, then one day stumbled upon NFL 2K4 being played in an EB Games store, after which my gaming life was changed forever!

I've appreciated 2K's baseball games for many of the same reasons I loved HH. I love for example how in both you can lower fielding ratings, and teams will commit a dozen errors an inning. Now THAT'S customization! Unlike The Show, where I literally haven't seen a single ground ball error in the past two years of playing that game, even after lowering players' fielding ratings to 0.
