Major League Baskeball 2K9 Features List

[beau21]

Pasta Padre has posted the features list for Major League Baskeball 2K9.

"As expected it appears that they’ve attempted to simplify several aspects of the game. The trading card system looks to have been improved and more has been done to add to the authenticity of the experience. Providing the basics such as a smooth framerate and solid online performance are a necessity for this year, but other than those things is there enough here to deliver the game consumers have been hoping for?"

2K is a day late and a dollar short with this one....all of these improvements should have been in 2K8....

I think I like that there isn't any "big new feature" though..

Maybe (hopefully) that means that they're focusing totally on fixing up the game engine and gameplay... that's really where they need to start... not on any gimicky modes or features...

Totally Agree. It would also of been nice if they would've mentioned something about Franchise Mode..

Screenshots please!

Vendors in crowds mean nothing, if the people sit 3 seats apart.

Re: MLB 2K9 Features List

why did they need to improve the trading card feature? They need to focus all of their efforts on gameplay, not gimmicks!

This is true. I'm really hoping they fix that. My guess is they are gonna go the NBA 2K9 route with this Real-Tine World addition

I think the list sounds good. Glad to see Zone hitting. Willing to give it a chance.

I'm sorry, but posts like this come off as pure hate. 2K8 was crap, we don't need to rehash that over and over.

I actually like this list. It seems (and it's to early to tell for sure, of course) that they focused on meat of the game and not some big, new, flashy feature. Some of the gameplay ideas intrigue me (being able to eat a throw, zone hitting-yay!, quick throws, etc) as well.

The thing that stood out to me was the "living ballpark" portion of the list. This type of thing is right up VC's alley and sounds quite promising if they hold to there presentation standard.

That said, it all means little if everything still looks washed out, the crowd looks jacked up, and the game hasn't changed from an "under the hood" standpoint.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this game looks in motion. I still won't be buying (there is nothing they can advertise at this point to sell me on the game...lol), but I'm rooting for it to be good. I'll definitely give it a look via rental

Re: MLB 2K9 Features List

I like that the list doesn't have a big WOW!!?!! back of the box feature yet. The game needed to be re-built and as an XBox 360 owner I hope (because I have to) that 2k9 will come out and play a good solid game of baseball.

Thats the same way i feel. IMO zone hitting is the most realistic way to bat in a baseball game. I just hope the gameplay is tight.
