if i don't like swing stick 2.0....and use classic hitting....will i still see the same results in:

hit variety
foul balls
the same ball physics that will appear with swing stick 2.0

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

Edit.

Never mind that was another game

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

will there be 2 strike foul tips to the catcher, and tipped balls that barely make it past home plate?

[blkprince04]

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

will players lean into the stands to catch foul balls?

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

I have no questions but i'll be really looking forward to this. This is the kind of thing that 2K should've been doing a long time ago.

Has the check swing been fixed this year? If I recall correctly one would have to press the trigger to activate the check swing on the Xbox 360 version.

i'd rather play the demo than ask questions about it, cmon just release this bugger to let the consumers have a shot at it.

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

1) As someone else mentioned-have the check swings been fixed? Can you pretty much "attempt" a check swing when ever you want?

2) When hitting, is there a difference from facing a top pitcher than a mediocre pitcher? And can you descrive this difference as best you can?

3) Is it easier to determine pitch/type location this year when hitting?

4) Can you verify that they ditched the pitcher making a running barehanded grab and then making a perfect jump throw to first animation.

5) Does presentation feel stale and repetitive?

6) How are the in-game sounds (ball hitting glove on catches, players running, contact sounds, etc.)?

7) How difficult is it playing outfield with the new system in which you don't see the balls icon when your player is not looking at the ball? Does it feel right? Too difficult?

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

what about a 'pitch history' GFX...in-game, not a cut-scene

[DaoudS]

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

please for me check the a variety of swing animations when contact is made. Last year there were only a couple and it was as if the hitters did not followthrough and it looked awkward.

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

I do know that Kush was asked the other day (I just cant find exactly where the post is) about Day/Night progression and he said YES it is in and better, with it acttually getting darker earlier. The out of town scorebords will not work this year, and the crowds do not catch or reach for foul balls according to him.

Figured out how to find them.

Re: Crowd doesnt go after homeruns anymore?

Fans reacting to balls in the stands went the way of framerate. There wasn't enough memory to go around to keep it in. Believe me, I fought hard for it. In the end, it had to go.

Re: Ben Brinkman is about to answer some real questions

Yup, its still in and tweaked so that it is darker earlier. Last year, it wouldn't get dark until around 9 pm. This year, its starting to get dark right at the beginning of a night game.

Re: Crowd doesnt go after homeruns anymore?

The fans are much more into it. Especially in close/late games. There's also new code in there to make them react progressively throughout a play. I don't think its been tuned as well as it could...

Re: Operation Sports to Demo Major League Baseball 2K8 Tomorrow

Are there many stat overlays during the game?
