Meh, not really impressed to be honest.

Wow. Graphics = yuk. But that's nothing new, I knew the graphics would be on par with 2K8 when they released those early obviously touched-up screenshots last month. You don't heavily doctor screenshots unless you have something to hide.

I can't wait for the gameplay vids. Hopefully the framerate will be solid and the game will play like actual baseball.

I'm not seeing much difference between these meters and the pitching meter in The Show.

As for things being critiqued, I learned that I can't even offer constructive criticism in The Show forum without the fanboyists jumping on me. I mean for goodness sakes, I'm buying the game... I'm just trying to find ways for next year's game to be even better.

I'm not saying that it's you, I'm just saying that they exist, and it's much worse than here. It could be because the developers are floating around there all of the time and they're defending them, I'm not sure.

Of course they exist. On both sides, that much is obvious. But you also never see me jumping on people on The Show section with their own critiques with the game. I dont even jump on the mindless trolls. People are entitled to their opinion.

And no, I do not think these are anything close to the meter for pitching. But again, that is my opinion. (For the record I uses classic pitching in The Show)

These are bubbly car looking oil gauges. The confidence one, etc .. I am not talking about the throwing meters.

The bottom line is dude always has something negative to say about anything posted about this game. It's tiring. There are things I don't like about the other game, but do I insert my opinion about it in every thread created over there NO.

Why because I'm not a big fan of The Show. It's obvious dude prefers the other game, so if that's your preference why come here & nit-pick every screen/thread posted about this game..

Wanna here some funny *** ****?

The same was said about me in The Show forums last year, when I had criticism there as well. I was called a 2K homer, etc.

Also I have made a total of 5-6 posts in here in the past couple of weeks. So wow, glad I am "always posting in here negative things".

Maybe I find it tiring ones who are hardcore fans of a series, franchise, game company, or system, gives so much over-hyped praise, and attacks anyone with differing opinions on the matter.

Where is the law that states you can't post your opinions on a game? If he thinks the meters look horribly, he has the right to say that. What is the point of these forums if people can't post their opinions?

And as a mater of fact, I agree with him. The meters look like the turbo meter from one of the Burnout racing games. It doesn't fit in with a baseball game, if you ask me. If you like the way the meters look, fine.

The problem here isn't people posting opinions, it's people taking offense to people posting opinions. Why does it bother you that he, or anybody else, critiques the game? If you think the game is great and looks great, why on earth do you care what he, or anybody else, thinks?

I agree that the meters are similar to The Shows pitch meter in terms of arcade-ish-ness.

Also I definitely agree with what your saying about The Show forum. I was belittled over there because I said I wished Sony would improve the graphics on the psp version. I genuinely like the game and want to see it improved, but it seemed that any opinion that was critical wasn't welcome.

No, not ALL DOCTOR SHOTS. That is the same cliche people use when they try to support and make amends to the fact that a certain company does it.

But 2K takes it to the next level. They are night and day different. And get people deceptively excited, just to have them crash and burn when they see the "real shots"

Every post I made, is from my personal critique. I am entitled to my opinion as much as the one salivating over them. Give it a rest will yea. The world is not so black and white.

And who cares what Kool-Aide, I or the majority of baseball gamers drink? How does that make my opinion any less valid? Am I not supposed to critique the graphics? Take everything for what it is, and not in hopes have my comments read, for them to *gasp* improve on them?

Give it a rest, the same can be said for you... pot meet kettle.

If you are that much of a Graphic Whore then this game is not for you. Obviously the Graphics are terrible or not up to your standard, you made that painfully obvious..

You've also made it obvious that this company has wronged you the last couple of years. If this is the case why are you here? Why not move-on?

Good grief.

Anyway. I love the bright colors of the menus and the create-a-player screens. ABSOLUTELY loved the clouds in the one photo of Fenway, outstanding looking.
Looking good so far. Videos, please.

Guys, everyone has their own opinions out there, and it doesn't involve any kool-aid drinking. I think the screens look solid. Others don't. Does that mean I'm a 2K fanboy or everyone else is a Show fanboy? Not necessarily. I want to see their games succeed, but as Gordon Downie once said, "I smell a rat when it's a rat". 2K8, to me, was disappointing. It was by no means the disaster everyone around here made it out to be, though. IMO, it was just not a game I would play every day, and we'll leave it at that.

I know people here have short fuses after what happened last year, and because of that, I totally understand all the nitpicking surrounding the game. 360 owners don't like playing one game every year, and PS3 owners wonder if a choice is even necessary with the state of SCEA's game. This title is going to be scrutinized by hardcore sports gamers regardless of what the final product is like. The third-party exclusivity deal did it all.

It bothers me because it's the same BS time after time after time. The graphics sux. The screens are doctored...blah blah blah..

Can't you people come-up with something else to complain about, instead of b***** & moaning about the same stuff

Their was a bunch of good stuff posted by Steve, yet that wasn't talked about was it. NO because people can't let their anger over what this series has been for the last 3 years go..

I am very impressed and I can't wait to play this game! I love the camera options! I have been wanting this for three years now! Thank you.

Man give it a rest. Lets get back on topic. Everyone has the right to post their opinions. This isn't the 2k forums. If you don't like the negative posts, then go to the 2k forums and enjoy the positive posts by the kids over there.

Yes, it would be nice if we could get back on topic.

You can't be a baseball fan and NOT want TWO great games. It makes no sense. What happens if one company, or the other, suddenly goes belly up? I agree with your post and also think the PS3 crowd wants this game to succeed, too. Well, they should.

I believe this also, but they way they show it sometimes makes me scratch my head sometimes

Thanks for the offer, but I've been there & done that already

All they have given us is images, so you are only going to hear things about the images.
