      Awesome Steve, thanks. No other site posts the AI only videos like this one - just one more reason I love this place.

        NBA Live 09(at least IMO it was), even though I think your question was rhetorical.


        and while I cannot accurately judge how much a leap this game has taken(since I haven't played it), it does appear to be vastly improved so far...

          You're damn skippy it's not real baseball. It's a video game. As a wise man once said, "it is what it is".

              Yeah, it's hard to say since like you said, none of us have played it but man those videos look awesome. It looks and sounds like a totally different game. The only thing I can compare it to is 2k9 this year for me.

                I used a similar analogy in the NHL 2K forum - this is the first game with a new developer, almost like a team with a new head coach. The team will be shaky at first, but once they become familiar with the new methods and philosophy, the team will eventually begin to show improvement. 2K9 will NOT be a perfect baseball game, so take it for what it is: a first year effort. I've already seen improvements, many for the better. But at the same time, it's almost guaranteed there will be shakiness and inaccuracies.

                Well, all I can say is...we'll see how it plays either on or before March 3rd.

                  that developer is a total BS artist. When asked about the choppy walk up animations to batting stances he just plainly said "i don't think they look bad" and ended his answer...

                    Man, that actually felt like a 9th inning, I like how the crowd was. I would love to see a closer game, which is more intense. Like to see how the crowd would react and the players. Hope the next vid is like that.

                        I like this real time thing, but after the game was over the players were walking off the field. The guy in the batter's circle decides to stay in there and take some more practice swings. I hope they fix that.

                          Stewart's post-game reaction was definitely curious. He didn't appear to be all that happy about hitting a grand slam and leading his team to victory.

                          It reminds me of the cut-scene animation from last year when a player on the bench would go angrily shake hands with a teammate and the teammate who's face you could see made it seem like he was talking the guy off the ledge.

                            Yeah, one said that and another dev said they were working on smoothing it out.

                            The way batters snap into their stance looks so ugly.This has to be fixed.

                              Care to give examples? Seems like you are one of the few who feel this way. So I am just curious as to why.

                                Yeah I think it looks better than last year. That is all you can ask for. Some just want to put games down, because they aren't perfect. Oh well.
