Is this an earlier copy? Because it seems to be running at 30fps. I know the g4 video was very smooth.

I just bought my ps3 this week so I can get the show, but this game is looking pretty good. Has a very good TV presentation fell to it and the crowd seems very life-like and reacts appropriately. I think I will have to buy this on my 360 as well

Thanks for the vid Steve. Man that commentary sounds really good, and it's great to see you were able to adjust sliders to get the CPU to swing/look

The video was encoded at a lower framerate than the actual game. But yeah, the game in the G4 was almost certainly a newer version of the game.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Tigers @ Indians

I'm seeing more strike 3's "looking" as well as swinging.

I think I saw one strike where the batter watched it go by, the rest were swinging strikes. Nice to see deeper pitch counts.

But the real problem remains flyballs. Four flyballs, zero groundballs in that vid. It looks like Steve lowered the Power slider, resulting in "looping" flyballs. But as I said before, this is the #1 issue with this series, and there's no fix for it other than lowering ratings. Sliders won't do it.

So, I guess you can remove all the graphics for pitching? The gesture selection and big circle graphic is nowhere to be seen in this video. That'd be nice.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe the only reason you didn't see the gesture selection and big circle graphic was because Steve was not controlling the pitching. It was AI vs AI.

It certainly would be nice to be able to pitch this way as well. We'll see.

Excellent news

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Tigers @ Indians

SLOW DOWN!!!

We'd like to see the presentation as much as the game play.
Please allow the broadcast elements to play out for those considering the game!
The user just buttons through every cut-away.

Take it easy. There has been other videos that show the living world atmosphere. I'm pretty sure the objective of this vid was to show as many at bats as possible without creating a monster of a video. Therefore, Steve may have skipped over these intentionally to shorten the video.

Actually, it was 2 .

one was in the first at bat I beleive and one in the last

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Tigers @ Indians

And is Steve Phillips Canadian? In every video I've seen, I swear that he's slipping into an accent a bit. It sounds just a wee bit different from how he sounds on TV, that's all.

Do you mean he's sounding more awesome?

I can't view this video at work and I'm dying to see some Tigers footage of any baseball game. Maybe Steve could put this video on the OS TV link on the main page? I can actually view those.
Edit - I'm an idiot. It IS on the OS TV now (am I blind or did it just change). Thanks Steve!

I do LOVE the pitching camera angle from the Lincecum videos. Hopefully the Show can add a camera angle like that next year.

I agree.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Tigers @ Indians

Great to see the Tigers in some videos, unfortunately Verlander continues to give up runs lol

The video was nice and a couple of the batters took some pitches very close to the strike zone, so like Steve said, we should be able to tweak that along the way.
