Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Mets @ Phillies Top 1st

The length of the bats seem too big. Could just be camera perspective but they seem overly long.

Yes......something kept bugging me on every hit.
It SEEMS(just an "illusion" I guess) like the bat is quite large when a batter makes contact.
Of course it doesn't...it just kind of looks that way.
Something was distracting me...and that's what it is...thanks capa....I couldn't put my finger on it.

Overall though, I must admit...I'm pleasantly surprised at the strides made so far(game play aside...until we play it). I'd really like to hear Steve's opinion on the feel of the game play...but I realize that is verboten to ask right now

Remember, "They're our sponsors, we owe them one"....

So we should expect Pepsi logos on the bases next year? Is that what it's coming to? Yeesh.

I personally think it's kind of the opposite. I mean, not literally the opposite as in the bat is too short, but I think that one of the problems is it always looks like the ball is being hit off the end of the bat, and when it's hit hard it just looks awkward.

I don't think the contact sounds are helping either.

The thing that I hate is that the computer never takes a strike. I guess there will be some fast games if I have my control on that day...or if there's a way to tune it with sliders that'd be much better.

The game looks cool , I just hate the sound they use when the bat makes contact with the baseball. It doesnt sound right. SOunds more like a door slamming.

It would be nice if they added a realsitic sound of contact.

These videos are really getting me hyped. I just hope it doesn't disappoint.

I'm dissapointed by the bat sound, but that double play looked sweet!

I agree with this, but that's likely why it appears the bats are too long at contact (because I get that sense too at times).

The hitting seems to have that same kind of suctioned feeling (the hitting always felt kind of like a sling shot to me) which the contact sounds don't help allieviate as well (they even sound like they're being suctioned in a way).

Either way, hit variety is a bit of a ? for me. And those swings...yikes.

The presentation in this game is second to none. The announcers sound like they are closely following the action and play well of off one another. The real time atmosphere is a brilliant addition. I'm loving everything that I have seen so far.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Mets @ Phillies Top 1st

My concerns are everyone else's concerns: everything being hit hard, not enough hit variety in videos, computer never taking a strike. Every hit I've seen so far is either a frozen rope, a bloop single, a gap double, a double play hit hard, or a fly out. No seeing-eye singles, not one triple yet, nothing down the line, very few SLOW groundballs or dribblers, no choppers, no singles in the holes (SS-3B or 1B-2B), no fly balls off the walls, etc. I know the sample size is small, but I think we should've at least seem a few slow groundballs.

Honestly, I think we're not seeing anything slow because the default pitch speed is so slow. It allows the user to have plenty of time to see where the ball is going and make solid contact by aiming with the left thumbstick. If the pitch speed is faster, I'm pretty sure we'd see a lot more variety, but this is just an idea. I would like to see the CPU take a few pitches here and there as well, not seeing them take ANYTHING inside the zone.

This game looks great but the only signature styles i have seen are batter walkups i meen i want signature stances and windups not walk ups. i wish 2k would release like a signature style and windup sheet lol

I don't see a separate thread for it yet, but there's another video up with the 9th inning + postgame of a Pirates-Rockies game. And it looks to be CPU only.

Gameplay looks way different in that one, when the human element is removed. Swings and misses, weak contact, fouls, etc.

Postgame stuff looks awesome too - Player of the game, highlight reel, stuff like that.
