    I, too, notice the choppiness, though. I wonder if some of the twitchy transitions are a result of compression to video format, or if they're actually there.

    Ideally, things would be smoother, but I like where this is going.
    I think this game is doing what NBA did when it hit next-gen with players running and stopping awkwardly. In this video, after the pitcher gets hit, he jumps up from the hurt animation and it looks very odd. They are very nice but raw animations needing some polish.

    The dugout stuff is nice though. It all reminds me of the sideline stuff NFL 2K5 did with players interacting etc. Very much the style of VC.
    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

        Anyway...

        Personally, I feel every Phillie projected to start should have his signature style. After all, they are the world champs.
        If you think Werth is absurd, look at Carlos Pena. He has a generic stance too.

            Didn't one of the devs say that the crowd will be even louder in the final build?I could have swore I read that in the 2k forums community chat with the devs thread.

            Why don't Victorino,Werth,Coste and Pena have signature stances?They said they added 300+ more and yet they couldn't give these well known players their sig stance?


            And enough with the east coast and central teams!Let's see some Angels,A's,Giants, and Dodgers...Ya know, baseball is played on the west coast too.

            Angels vs A's in playoff mode ALCS

            Giants vs Dodgers NLCS

            Or Angels vs Giants in the World Series..Rematch of 02'!

                Yes, I remember reading that too

                I agree. You figure they would've covered everyone who was in the World Series at least....

                    It may be possible that in this beta copy the developers hadn't put all the signature stances in just yet? This would be similar to what the SCEA developers were saying about how not all of the signature styles had been added to the beta we had seen in the recent Show videos.

                    Those developers asked that we be patient and wait for the final build before we make wrongful assumptions. I just wish the 2K developers were more involved on these forums because they could quell a lot of concerns some of us are having about the beta footage we're seeing.

                        It's entirely possible. Adding an animation routine at the last moment isn't that hard and is done often.

                            Having been at the SCEA event, this is absolutely true. For example, they had not finished the grass textures and were actually "fixing" things that we brought up while there.

                                I really hope they fixed the herky jerky animation, but I doubt it. I love the pitching animation.

                                    So what we are seeing now is not the final product?

                                        No, it's not.

                                        The BETA code likely had to be pressed and shipped about a week and a half ago. MLB 2K9 likely doesn't go gold (code finalized and mass produced, packaged and sent to retailers) until the end of this week.

                                        So, what you see here is about two weeks older than the final product.

                                                WOW, that is great news. I like just about everything I have scene so far but if things can look and sound better then it's only a plus.
