There are 4 practice modes this year:

The change in the INTRO was well overdue & boy what a way to make that change... Not sure if this is a FINAL Copy Steve has, but the only thing that I see wrong is the minor studder between camera transitions..

Everything else screams TV Telecast...

Yes, I love how it actually shows the pitcher throwing some warm up pitches this year. Previous 2K games just showed him stretching (with the same animation every time). Looks MUCH better this year

It's nice to see some good game play footage. My impression is that it's going to be a big step up for MLB 2K8, but still a long way behind The Show. It looked like it might need another year of development time too before it's really polished.

Sorry, not trying to pick on you, but I've been seeing this more and more on the forum. It's starting to drive me crazy:

"studder" is spelled "stuTTer"

Ahhhh, there, got that off my chest.

Awesome videos by the way! Looks like 2K baseball is finally heading in the right direction.

Looks like a T.V. broadcast. Way to go VC.

Well things look greatly improved from 2k8 But a few things bothered me , Zambrano fielding the albert popup and soto not moving behind the plate but 2b and first base came in
Not liking the blow up helmets or generic catchers masks .
Vc really did alot of work cleaning things up and this seems what 2k8 should have been .
Glad VC is buliding all their games off of NBA 2k series giving them consistency to bulid on each year , love the Playoff mode !
