Yeah, the bat sounds are still bad. Thought for sure that would have been fixed. O well, I can live with it. Game looks very solid to me.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
I respectfully disagree, regarding the atmosphere.It's only footage of one-half an inning, but I feel immersed. The numerous real-time shots are amazing, although hitchy in some spots. What I really enjoy is the chattering of the fans. It has a "first-inning" feel to it, and like I said, I was immersed.+Smooth framerate all the way through
+Thorne and Phillips sound great...Awesome job there VC. How come they cant do this for NBA?!
+Like most of the fielding throws...Look good.
-Batting stances, especially Pujols looks absolutely terrible.
-The atmosphere seems kinda meh but I could be wrong.
-That damn organ..
-Bat sounds...Come on VC. Really?!Comment

Game really does look solid...Im sure they did their best to build it back up. 360 owners seem to have a solid baseball title on the way. I'll for sure give this a look when the roster guys fix it up!
Thumbs up to the 2k crew.*Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
that's exactly what people are saying about nhl 2k9.....3 years of horrendous performances by KUSH, last year was the first year back for VC and the gameplay got a big facelift....fell short of the finish line, but I think will have a great chance to be hockey's best game next year.
I''m hoping MLB 2k9 can rival the show this year....
but I'm big on the hitting/pitching game and that bat sounds is just a killer. The bad sound takes away the great feel of hitting if u ask me....
for example the pujols foul out, it sounded as if he got good wood on it. In the show, when you connect, you KNOW you connect by the sound.
I'm really hoping they add better sounds before release....
After watching the video again:
real time IS great as blzer said
crowd very lively
I actually LIKE the organs.....
The in between pitch is really sweet with Zambrano and his mannerisms
I didn;t like how Zambrano fielded that pop up in the infield though...
I really dig the double....and the whole angle of the play while ball in mid air...nice touch.
2k.....PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....FIX THE BAT SOUNDComment

The running aniamtions need some work as well. They seemed robotic. If they can smooth them out a bit, that would be great. This is the first attemp for VC at baseball and it looks way better then last years. Looks like ill be having 2 baseball games this year.NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
The commentary is alive this year... but i dont understand how they cant fix the bat sounds. It seems like it would be something basic to do. Some of the animations still have a robotic look to them which makes this game not as fluid as the other baseball title.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
Is the bat sound that serious????, does it affect the gameplay or does it throw you off when you hit the ball. I know it make you ears bleed so bad you have to the go to the emergency room right.Comment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
It does effect gameplay, because it sounds unnatural, and sounds like you hit moonshots with a piece of bamboo. So when you hear it all the time for a liner, a grounder, a foul, a tip or a pop-up, just feels,well again, arcady.Ⓥ Boston Red Sox | Miami DolphinsComment

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st
The videos look very good to me especially for the fact that there is still some touching up to do before the game is released.
Thorne and Phillips sound dang good so that is big. I really like Steve Phillips insight. I know a lot of people hate the guy but I like him and he sounds pretty good in this game.
One thing people really aren't talking much about is Wrigley Field. This is one of the best stadium models I have seen n a video game no doubt. The ivy looks great this year. The scoreboard looks perfect (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The buildings in the background look terrific and not to mention the fact that you can basically see every seat in the stadium. Wrigley looks huge which is great because if you were standing at home plate theres no doubt the field would look gigantic from your level. 2k did a good job capturing it.
The last thing to do with Wrigley and I'm sure was changed in every stadium is the grass and dirt. In 2k8 the grass was dead the entire season or they were trying to make it look like dirt was going onto the grass because the field was being used. I don't think that was the case though because you could see it ifrom the first pitch of the game. In 2k9 however the grass is completely green and just looks awesome. It's freshly cut and you can actually tell where the dirt ends and where the grass starts.
The live background is awesome as well as it feels real. Obviously there are parts that need to be cleaned up a bit but I'd have to say it looks good so far. As for the guy on Gamespot who said there was no Around the Horn he is incorrect. When Schumaker got thrown out at second you could see it in the background while they showed a closeup of him. Hopefully the gamespot guy will be incorrect on the progressive lighting issue as well.
So far this is a very good start and I am very hopefull that some of the animations and what not will be cleaned up.NHL-Minnesota Wild
