***Official MLB 2K9 Retail Version Impressions***

[HK-47]

I just want to know how the crowds are in the playoffs...I'm currently in the ALCS in my franchise and after I eliminated the Red Sox in the first round, there was no celebration, and throughout the series the fans sucked.

Alright 1st thing with Sliders & I don't understand why they kept this, but every difficulty causes the Sliders to change.. instead of leaving them all @ 50 when you move thru difficulties... Also once you move 1 Slider they become "CUSTOM"

Not happy about that right now. Wish they would've use the NBA Slider Model where everything stays @ 50

Looking forward to your impressions Joe... Quick favor though, could u start a game with CLASSIC pitching and tell me if the circle slider is the same as Right Stick?

Also, if u choose button fielding, will you still see a slider when you throw?

I'm really looking forward to your impressions Joe.

I've read through most of the posts in this thread. Some good impressions but more bad impressions.

My question for those who have the game is, from a lot of the issues your are seeing on the field do you think the majority of them are fixable with slider tweaks?

I've read a lot of negative feedback on ball/strike ratio, fielding, and other on field issues that seem fixable. I mean, are we to the point where we just know the game is not going to play well out of the box? When's the last time that happened?

OK here's another-1 I'm baffled about. If you change a Slider in any difficulty you will not be able to earn any cards. I'm not sure if this also goes for setting Sliders from the "CUSTOM" Setting..

You also cannot turn-off the Dynamic Ball Indicator

Bigfnjoe, just wondering... did you get a title update when you first launched the game? Or is that only going to be available on 3/3?

Do slider changes prevent you from earning the player cards this year?

Thanks.

You mean there's no way to turn off the flashing colors after each pitch???If you look at this screenshot it shows an option called dynamic landing indicator http://www.operationsports.com/image...008-media.jpeg
