Yes in fact it is. Why would any real pitcher ever pitch the ball anyplace but low and away if it could never be hit out of the park? Do you think that every HR hit is pulled? How are HR's hit the opposite way? I could go on, but I think you get the point. Good pitches, bad pitches get hit out. Like I said, if it happens all the time and guys hit 80 HR's a year which has been the case the last couple of years then you have a case. To write off the game because someone drove a pitch low and away JUST LIKE HE SHOULD is laughable.

This is what I'm talking about. C'mon dude, never once did I write the game off, nor did I intend to come off that way. It just was a little concerning. I already have this thing preordered, it looks fun, and I want both games... But I can discuss the good AND bad can't I?

Haha I could say the same things to those of you who defend it 'til your last breath. You hvent played the game either so how do you know it's NOT a problem.

And for god's sake, we're just pointing out what MIGHT be concerns. No one said the game will now suck. Here, Ill bold it for you so you guys can hopefully understand.

THE GAME VIDEOS SHOW A FEW CONCERNS AND ALL WE ARE DOING IS DISCUSSING THEM. QUIT GETTING SO DAMN DEFENSIVE. I'VE SAID A MILLION TIMES THIS GAME LOOKS TO BE MUCH IMPROVED OVER LAST YEAR... VISUAL CONCEPTS HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB FOR THEIR FIRST YEAR EFFORT.

Of course, according to your logic, since I can't say things I don't like without having played the game, I shouldn't be able to say things I like either.

Well said, I was actually going to post something similar, thanks for saving me some time.

For the record, I took a screenshot of this video BEFORE the ball hit the bat. I'm not a complete ******.

What do you mean a complete ******? Also, I wonder what level Steve was palying on? That pic you showed was easy to see that soemthing is up with the bat and ball physics.

Thanks for backing me up on this one bro. I was out for the night, and didn't want to make this one a text battle where I started running away with paragraphs.

Basically, this is and has been an issue in the game. I'm just addressing that the Papi thing probably wasn't attributed to him being Papi, and was more so attributed to the game being the game that it is and has been.

To tell you the truth, I've seen a similar occurence while playing The Show as well. In fact I hit a homerun with Werth today while playing the 09 demo and something about it just did'nt seem right so I watched the video replay in slo-mo and the situation was almost exactly like the homeruns in question here with 2K9. Based on the pitch (ball) location just outside the strike zone, it should have not resulted in the homerun that I hit. Also, the position of the bat at the split second it made contact with the ball was off as well. Based on the bat to ball contact point, the ball should have landed in a much different spot in the outfield bleachers.

Point is, this does happen in both games although it may be more prominent in one versus the other.

It's been said before, but no game will ever be 100% perfect and do everything precisely how we expect it to.

How could that be? He didn't hit a ground ball or liner, it was a fly ball home run. The ball is at this point already at equal height with the bat, so he would have swung over the ball to hit it.

Either way, it doesn't look good.

now, FF to 3:21 in this video...tuffy rhodes playing in japan now, hits a homerun EXACTLY like markakis did in this video, pitch is in the same location and everything...and this ball didn't just barely clear the fence either...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqsiZ2fPfbA

are we going to argue that real life has bad programming too? will this even DEAD the argument? I doubt it. carry on kids.

With three differences:

1) Markakis crushed his ball. It didn't just clear the fence, it went 400 feet with ease.

2) Rhodes didn't hit it off the end of the bat. He hit in on the end side (as opposed to the handle side), but still fully with barrel.

3) And this is the biggest one... the pitch was nowhere close to being the same. It was knee-high over the middle of the plate.
