IMHO, MLB 2K5 was a major step back this year !!!!! I bought it on release day and did'nt like it right off the bat. I have tried on a few occasions to give it another chance (this past weekend for example I played about 8 games against a friend) but each time I get even more frustrated. The ball physics in the MLB 2K5 is the worst that I have seen in a video game in the past 5 years. It seems like every hit made to the outfield or fouls down the lines take a very unnatural slice or angle of attack. The ball hits the ground at an angle that does'nt make since based on how the player made contact with the ball. And then when the ball hits the ground, it takes an even more exaggerated spinning type slice toward the foul lines or the seats. VERY BAD PHYSICS !!!! In one game, I hit a fly ball to right field, when my friend made the catch, the ball came down at an angle that made it look as though the left fielder threw the ball to the rightfielder.......that is unexcusable !!!
This game should be recalled !!!

Re: This game should be recalled !!!
Holy smokes, I'm no fanboy of ANY game. All of them can offer enjoyment, all of them have their own glitches/bugs/nusances, but you have to be able to sit down and enjoy a video game and over look somethings.
I find the ball physics OK, love the variety of hits. Perhaps there are too many linedrives to the infielders, but I overlook those things because there are other outstanding things in the game. The AI, as far as I've seen, makes all the right moves, brings in the relief guys, pinch hits, steals. There appears to be an absence of bunts, but..........recall?
You may not be able to enjoy any game that's out.Comment

Re: This game should be recalled !!!
I would have to agree. This game should be recalled. You can't enjoy games on just presentation alone, it has to have decent gameplay. And that is what 2k5 does not have...IMO.
I have all 3 games and 2k5 is by far the buggier and most inferior version. I have played close to 30 games in the past week (which I feel is more than enough games in order to judge), and that is the conclusion that I have come to.
- Everyone is raving that the presentation is so great and it is. But at some level I believe it is a joke. 2k Sports try to present this game as being a polished game, but whenever you get to the serious amount of flaws it is like the presentation is trying to cover up their flaws. It also seems like it gives everyone a false view of the game: you think the game will be great, but once you get into the gameplay (the heart of the game) it is choppy and flawed.
-Animations stink. Seriously. That is what takes away from my enjoyment of the game the most. It makes a choppy gameplay even choppier. You feel like you are playing with robots instead of humans (computer generated of course!)
- Faces are horrible! Some of them are right on, but many of them look hideous. You would think that they learned their lesson from last year, but obviously not.
- Pitching meter is too long. It takes way to long to finish a normal game due to the pitching meter. If they are going to rip off EA and their meter, at least do it completely.
There are other flaws and good things about this game, but the bad outweighs the good...by far. I am sure you guys see it, but may chose to ignore it.
I took back this game yesterday. I didn't even give the EB employee a reason, he just understood. I guess I am not the only one.Comment
