    to me it obviously is.....

    anymore questions ??
    No cause i really dont care about the bat sound but if it affect my gameplay which it hasnt since i play 2k baseball. its at the bottom on my list of concerns.

    The only thing i dont like so far is the diamond icon with the horrible baserunner icon on it. Why they have to touch it was fine. Now that can affect my gameplay when im caught trying to steal or baserunning. That wasnt broken why they touch it.

      I think i may be the only person that listens to music and turns down the actual game. lol

          That seems like it would take a lot away from a sports game.. to each his own though..

            For me its the opposite. when i play games like GTA i have to listen to the game. I turn off music whenver i am in a car even. When i play sports games, i play with music on tv down. Doesnt matter what game. All Pro Football, Fifa, NBA2K or MLB2K.

              Beside the bat sounds and the jerky / robotic animations, the game looks damn good.. Things could be patched to a certain degree anyway.

                Ball seems like it's coming of the bat legitimately. Even noticed it in Pujols pop-out.

                    I always put gameplay on top...but ambiance/atmosphere is number two for me, especially if it affects the hitting feel.

                    I mean, let's just make the uniforms say a red st. louis and a blue chicago.....doesn't affect gameplay right??

                    Immerison is huuuuge in a baseball game for me ...It's such a rewarding feeling when you make that contact with the bat and you know you connected as soon as you hit it....right now that feel is not present in 2k's game...why?? bat sounds.....

                    it's not just the sound it's affecting, it's affecting the whole hitting feel, u lose the visceral aspect of hitting experience....

                        I like the crowd.

                        I love lamp.

                        Seriously though.. the game looks good. Y'all see how the batters snap into their stances though ? I don't really care about it. It just looks weird. Honestly, it's more than I expected. I give 2K Sports credit. SCEA is one mean mutha to compete against in the baseball video game arena, but it looks like 2K found a solid foundation to build on at least. They need to smack the animation crew though.

                          I hate the bat sounds as well, hardly a game killer though.

                            I also noticed the fields are bigger in 2k9. 2k6-2k8 the outfield looked small. The grass looks like grass unlike 2k8 green paint on the ground. I want to see some night games as well. Hopefully some yankee videos
                            NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

                              I'm very impressed by the real-time virtual director stuff - if Steve had been batting from the pitcher cam it would have been tough to distinguish from a real broadcast with the cuts and everything. This looks like something I could just sit and watch and it would seem like I was watching it on TV.

                              Really impressed by the commentary too. But like Blzer, I wonder how long it can go before repeating. Still WAY better than the last few years - Thorne does a great job.

                              Nice slide on that steal attempt Steve. (sorry, had to say it)

                                Stadiums are bigger; fields are the same.
