Not sure how I feel about MLB 2K5...

Re: Not sure how I feel about MLB 2K5...

I disagree with a lot of your points. A lot of the player faces look amazing (schilling, randy johnson, arod, etc.),

"- I don't like the way the swings work. There were occasions where I swung BELOW a pitch, and the game would say that I swung too high. WTF? This existed in last year's game, too, it is something that Kush should have fixed."

I'm having this problem to occasionally and I don't get it either.

It's because you're pressing A before you're actually moving the thumbstick. This is possibly the hardest part about having pitch speeds at 100... you have to try and learn to first move the thumbstick and then press A. It's all in one quick motion, though.

Final Grade -> C+ / D+

A D+ wouldn't even make the game playable.

It is really waaaaaaaaaay to early for indepth reviews. I haven't even gotten to all the sliders yet, but this game is very tweakable. If I would have written a reveiw PRIOR to sitting and practicing fielding and baserunning I might have given it a rotten score, but this game has a higher learning curve.

This game is a step down from last years? That's why all of this is purely subjective, to be taken with a grain of salt.

Anyone giving this game a D+ needs to get off drugs. Nuff said.

i think he just has his grading key the other way around. he has it like "last years grade/ this years grade" but in all his summarys he talks about how mlb improved this year at least one letter grade. i think he meant to put "this years grade/last years grade" read his post and it will all make sense.

Well, then he should quit the booze, this is FAR better than a C grade product. It has a few probs, but it is overall a GREAT baseball game. I bought this AND MVP and abandoned MVP after 4 games to try this as MVP was too much like last year's version. Haven't gone back yet because the graphics and presentation are just too good in this game.

Wow, for someone who is "not sure" how he feels about the game, he seems to have formed quite a few opinions.

Re: Not sure how I feel about MLB 2K5...

I agree. This is one thing I never understand. Why people feel the need to adhere an established slider set, instead of customizing to their own skill. The only think I can think of is that they feel the need to compare their talents and acheivements with others. I am talking about the threads that go "I just won my 5th straight championship using so and so's sliders". Maybe it is because I am older and I learned a long time ago that nobody really cares how good I may get at a video game.

I wish that I could have the patience and testing skills necessary to create my own slider settings, but I don't have the patience for it. Therefore, I just hope and pray that someone else plays a style similar to mine. For the most part, I think that blzer's settings are well thought-out, except for pitching control. One thing that REALLY annoys me right now is the small variation in types of foul balls. They all seem to just hook out of the stadium, and the camera doesn't follow the foul ball. The ball just disappears. No collision detection, etc.
