          Basically they did not age too well, and lost detail (more than likely to obtain 60FPS).
          Yeah i see your point as well thats why i put in the ? mark cuz' i just don't know why it's somewhat ok compared to the show.

          yeah when you start to nit pick it's bad but for me i'm just looking back and seeing that even though the shows good it's easier to see the wrong in the shows models compared to the mlb one. For me the squashed look is worse than a bloated one.

                Are we looking at the same game? 2k9 player models look better to me. The faces look way better in the show
                NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

                  Is it just me, or do the player models kind of resemble 2k3 and 2k4's player models?

                    Okay... wow at the real time! I doubt anyone noticed, but Wainwright is warming up in the bullpen before he goes out for the bottom of the first. Now that is real time detail!

                    There are some weird slow-down/speed-up transition animation things, but everything else looked great!

                        I remember the first time I loaded up NBA 2k9

                        I was astounded at the detail they put into the arena and fans

                        This game seems to share that level of detail

                          The slow down is on the cut scenes only. The same thing happends in NBA2k9 but the actual gameplay is 60fps smooth.

                            Well, the graphics do look better in motion, still "ehh" on them though. There is just something wrong. Animations look pretty good though and I love some of the camera angles (especially the slightly overhead, behind the pitcher one of Zambrano warming up).

                            Gary Thorne is as awesome as I thought he'd be. Phillips sounded less scripted than in the other short, but jusat okay (I will refrain from going too deep in criticism of Phillips, as I'm sure my real life hatred of him might cause me to not judge him responsibly...lol).

                            Overall, a very good intro. I do miss the exterior stadium intro and the toss down from "the studio" but this intro, while simplified in some ways, seems much smoother.

                            My only gripe (I think it was Nemesis who mentioned it first) was the weird voiceover at the loading screen. It screamed "monster truck rally." I half expected a "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY,"...followed by a row of cars being crushed...lol.

                            Jokes aside though, it looked solid. Looking forward to seeing the gameplay tomorrow (or later today, I guess)

                            EDIT: To add, the "real-time" environment does indeed look very sharp. Plus, I continue to be impressed by the crowd...HUGE improvement and well done

                                I think the video quality is very nice, and it looks like this game will be a step up in graphic quality from 2K8.

                                The intro does seem a little "light", I too miss the external views of the ballparks.

                                Is Jeannie Z. not doing any intros or commentary this year? I liked her last year in 2K8.

                                This must be a quick start game as I didn't see options to choose ballpark, time of day, weather, etc.

                                I noticed there are 4 controller icons on the startup screen, 2 on each side. I wonder if this means we will be able to have co-op play, 2 vs. 2 etc. That would be nice.

                                So far it's looking pretty nice.

                                The rest of the game intro is nice and I really like the new commentary team.

                                Going to watch this again.
