Major League Baseball 2K9 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[NEWYORICAN]

Anyone know if there is going to be a PC Demo?.....I'm telling you guys, the sleeper is going to be the PC version of this game. I'm picking up the PC version regardless of some of the issues and features...(ie, no online play).

It's been a long time waiting for a PC baseball game and finally 2K has heard us PC gamers!!...lol


peace

Also i probably will go back to the 2k8 version seems a little to easy for me but i think if i can adjust how fast it goes then that might be a different story. I like the hitting to might love the cursor though since i loved it in 2k3. After this pitching mechanic was implemented i can never go back to button pressing, just cant.

What i do is move the pitch slightly outside of where the glove is on the corner so just a smigden of the ball is over the strike zone. You get a ton of called strikes that way and swings and misses. you also throw more balls because you are more likely to miss. I really try to pinpoint it. On increased difficulty levels it should be even better. I'm also getting batters to reach for balls outside the strikezone at this point. I had pena try to climb the ladder against me when i just kept moving the pitch slightly higher. He eventually swung on a pitch high and upstairs outside the strikezone.

damn that's a shame cause i feel like moving the joystick feels good and fun and actually makes me concentrate more then simple button pressing.

You find moving the stick on the controller a chore? WOW. It is more realistic and fluid then simply pressing a button.

I tried it for a few days with 2K8. I'd give it more time, but I can't stand the yellow pitch circle either. The combination of the two makes Pinpoint pitching my option of choice.

Im a fantatic about baseball, and stoked about this game. however the ratings in the game are diffrent then screen shots, seems like every poisition player is up two player ratings overall, for example bj upton is 81 on the screenshot but 83 in the game. Which is Which?

David Price only throws 91..is this because he is a starter now..or is it wrong?

Great job, i think everyone deserves a lot of credit becasue it looks like a great game
