Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Giants @ D-Backs

Yes, they are still swinging, no worries there, lol. Not much less than before, but it is less.

Contact, Success and Inside Edge. Just something is missing...

How LOW/HIGH do you have success? We've thrown some ideas around & think success might be how a player approaches an AB

Thanks Steve, and keep them coming, if you can.

Maybe it's just the hopeless sports video gaming geek in me, but I'm really looking forward to this game, as I've yet to experience a good baseball game, since I own a 360.

Steve, Have you seen any other Double Play animation besides the one in this video??

It seems like it is the same animation in all of the game play videos I've watched. It would be nice to know if there are different double play animations and take out slides.

BTW, thanks for all the images and videos!!

After the adjustment what are they still doing that seems off?

Still seeing them swing a bit too much in the zone. But like I said, it's getting better. I'm seeing them actually start to swing at balls outside the zone now as well. So things are getting a bit more promising on that end.

Same DP anims, for the most part. I mean there is one where the 2nd/SS look home, as they throw to 1st, but then you'll see some where they actually do look at 1st before firing. There are no take out slides, as mentioned in my hands-on preview.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Giants @ D-Backs

Thanks again Steve. I am extremely impressed with what I have seen so far. Would you say its pretty safe to say its leaps and bounds better than 2k8?

Oh and can you please show a vid of the tribe in Progressive field.

Awesome! Glad to see them take a pitch.. Can you get King Felix on the mound for a video? =)

I am seeing an huge number of double plays. I know last year it was a problem that you just couldn't get a ball through. Are you getting some of that? Great news on the pitches, gives more hope. I am still hoping that VC will have it tweaked, but if not at least we can do some work on it.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Giants @ D-Backs

Did you listen to me and make this video!? Anyways, great video and game looks great. Although from the other video, it seems like there are a lot of double plays.

I am not the biggest fan of baseball, but is the amount of double plays a good number to what happens in real games, or are they excessive?

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Giants @ D-Backs

Is anyone else in love with the commentary? Just the first batter alone I heard more things about baseball than any of the crap that I heard last year.

I'm very impressed.

Nice lighting in the stadium. So glad to see a called 3rd-strike.

Especially from Chris Young, who'd swing at the rosin bag if you threw it up there.
