Here is another video from Major League Baseball 2K9. This one shows off a few things, including an in game injury.

Loved just about everything except when he jumped up after being injured. Looked a bit weird, but that's usually in most of 2k's games for some reason. Would like to see him stand up in a more normal way. I'm still loving these videos nonetheless, and the play by play with the real time atmosphere is breathtaking.

Just take a long look at the video and look at the fans and the players and coaches in the background. WOW!

And for those that want early inning crowd participation, they sounded great and even had the "here we go phillies" chant and they were up by 2 runs.

Notice the crowd going silent on the pop up out and the final out to stop the big inning.

More great videos.

i think that video all but confirms there are no take out slides this year. First thing that I'm really bummed about. Oh well, if no take out slides is my only complaint i'm really happy.

gotta say i'm really getting a MVP 04 feeling. I know we haven't played it yet, but I really feel like this is gonna be like 04 where everything was there for a perfect game minus a couple things that needed to be fixed.

Watch out for MLB 2k10

Very well stated. However, I am still noticing that the CPU literally swings at everything in the strike zone. If there isnt a slider to fix this, I can imagine people throwing balls on purpose in order to generate realistic pitch counts.

Loved it all except the part where he got injured and just jumped up. Hopefully in future games when a player gets hurt, a trainer and/or coach will come out.

Yeah, I really hope there is a slider for this. I do throw balls on purpose just to try to get them to chase (especially when I'm ahead in the count), but they shouldn't be swinging at every strike, especially borderline pitches.

um...why did the dude just get up after being injured...things like this test my patience with mlb 2k9 lol makes me wanna get a ps3 for the show.

Holy moly!

Did I just see a looping, gap shot double where the ball stopped before reaching the wall. In a 2K baseball game? Nice!

Yeah, I would suspect there would be slides to remedy this.

The jump looked strange but other than that everything looked nice.

This game has massive potential. The real time thing, Thorne's playcalling, etc. is just truly amazing. But like I said earlier, it may be a game killer for some if the CPU swings at everything in the strike zone. If there is a slider to combat this, looks like I'm getting 2 games this year.

Looks like this game is going to give The Show a run for the money this time.

[buzzguy]

Wow! Looking better every day! Wasn't thrilled with how fast Kazmir got-up after being injured, or the batboy walking through the batter, but that's about it! Everything else looks really good.
Now I'm really on the fence.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Rays @ Phillies In Game Injury

I can deal with the weird injury reaction stuff...but the CPU needs to take strikes in this game...must be fixed for game release, if not, hopefully sliders can do something.
