Re: The MLB 2K9 Developers Are Listening

Agreed, get rid of the red arrow pointing out the home run. Like I said, remove all the garbage that's there only to remind me this is a video game. Immerse me.

In Sega's 2002 effort, the camera followed the ball so you didn't need a graphic to point out what was happening.

Simplify, simplify, simplify. Every added on-screen help takes me that much further out of the game. Again, pop in your own games (2002-4) to see why we're all more confident that it'll be easier to recreate what you did, then reinvent something that comes close.

We're all tired of "1-step forward, 2-10 steps back." Then again, if you take enough steps back, we'll have a great video game (Sega/2k 2002-2004).
