if you have a pc, get the pc version

[kumala]

for all the mods. from uniform changes, to stadium updates, bat and ball mods, etc. its been worth having two versions of the game. I find myself playing more of the pc one than 360 due to the mods. go to mvpmods.com and check out the different updates.

Dang, those mods do some fantastic work. Unfortunately the game (demo) runs crappy on my new computer, sigh.

Well, you're not missing out on too much so far (in terms of the mods). They're mostly visual enhancements and can't really do much about the inconsistent gameplay. The big thing from the mod standpoint is still to come though...a roster editor is in the works.

It will hopefully bypass the editing cap and allow stances, etc to maybe be changed (I say "maybe" because apparently the stances/deliveries are tied to the player face. That would make for some interesting choices with CAPs and rookies...lol).

For me, I've edited the Nats and Sox uniforms (to a darker blue for both) in addition to installing plenty of the other mods available. Just having a hard time digging into it though. Still, it was free for me (gift) and even for the normal 20$ tag, it's at least a decent little diversion to pick up and play.

If someone can get a datafile out for the game it will totally change the gameplay. The bad thing is if it can be done for 2k9 it probably will be awhile for it to be out along with a slider set that compliments it.

I have heard good things so far about the mod progress already. PC games def allow people freedom to make games last.

Ran my resolution down to 800x600 and it looked absolutely awful and game was still a little stiff.

Re: if you have a pc, get the pc version

If there's one mod you get...go to mvpmods and get the "realistic pitching" mod.

It removes the ball cursor, gets rid of the "HOLY EARLY SWING BATMAN" logos, and gives you a little better icons about where a pitch was.

It makes pitching pretty difficult. I've walked more than one batter unintentionally by trying to work the outside of the plate. Sometimes you make the pitch, sometimes you don't. But without seeing the cursor, you don't really know where that exact edge of the strikezone is on the pitch. And if you go too much over the plate(at least with default all-star batting sliders), they will put it out.

I am glad you like my mod I got rid of those little icons showing where the pitch was, ,also made the baserunner icons really small so they don't bug me anymore.But did those edits after my realistic pitching mod haven't uploaded an update yet though.

Re: if you have a pc, get the pc version

Hi

I live in the UK and have a UK 360 and PS3. I have imported The Show for the PS3 - great game. I tried the demo of MLB 2K9 on the 360 and really enjoyed it - reading some positive post patch impressions now too. It hasn`t been released in the UK and I can`t import it for the 360 as it`s not region free.

Just noticed MLB2K9 is on offer at direct2drive for PC at £4.95 until today - Is it worth getting for the PC and how close to the 360 version is it ?

Cheers

Yes it is well worth getting for the pc. Just the modding community alone makes it worth it.Its a port of the 360 game should be the same although I am seeing ppl report bugs, on the 360 version that I have not seen on the Pc.
