    I have the Show and Mlb 2k, all of them and I know more about baseball then you, 2k9 is good, do't pull that, "You don't understand baseball", condenscending crap, that is a cop out. The show is vastly overrated, very simple. People like you trying to act all high society on the ney make me sick. You think people who understand baseball only play the show? What an idiot.

    I am 30, been playing games and watching and Playing baseball for a long time, STFU.

      Computer hitters definitely battle more than last year's. I've seen some terrific, 8 and 9 pitch at-bats.

I have no issues making plays in this game, so that's obviously just an issue with not being good. Impressions based on that stuff drive me nuts. Because that's not really how the game actually is or an impression. It's just that you aren't good at it. When I read those posts i see one of those guys i play with, that hates a game and throws their controller and calls everything cheese that isn't because htey suck at it.
        Apparently, if you like MLB, you don't understand baseball, imagine that. Hilarious the stuff people say to try and make themselves look smarter and right.

          I agree that the fielding is a bit amped up. That's different. But if you are unable to make plays that's not because i don't know baseball. Sorry. That's an issue with the player and not the game.

            Back to the impressions. Like before, give impressions all you want, good/bad, whatever. But when you bring in "people who undrestand real baseball won't like 2K", that's not going to fly.

            Carry on.

              This is insulting in some respects. I know, love and have a deep understanding of the game -- and like 2K baseball. Doesn't make me any "dumber" about the game.

              The demo for 2K9 is very solid. I'm confident that the full version -- with access to sliders -- will provide a great experience.

                I know, it was in reference to the idiot who said people excessivley complaining understood baseball and people who like MLB don't. Which is, an arrogant, moronic falacy.

                  It is, I have played baseball for a long time, and been a gamer for longer, i know my baseball. Ridiculous comment. Show fanboys.

                      Why won't anyone tell me how to bat?

                      Anyways, so I bunt.

                      Bunt single with Longoria. I steal 2nd and 3rd without a pitch thrown. I got into a rundown between 2nd and 3rd, and it was quite easy to trick them. lol.

                      I then bunted him home. lol.

                      I have 3 bunt singles, and 1 reached on an error bunt. Kind of odd, no?

                        The cpu will run on you. Not sure if this has been mentioned as last year they never stole bases. This year they do.

                            could be because the demo is on "pro" level which is pretty easy.

                              You need to use the right stick to hit. Pull back, then push forward.

                                Unfortunately, you're in the same boat as every other casual gamer who hasn't been following info on this game since day one, and downloaded it for the sake of downloading it.

                                But to answer your question, it is an influence hitting system, though I don't know to what extent. As far as I'm concerned, any pitchable that's within reasonable bat's length is hittable with proper timing. That doesn't mean your ball will be hit well or that it will even be hit in play... but I think it's at least assurance for contact. Now this is done regardless of which way you point the left analog stick, though that is used to help sway the ball a specific way: up for fly balls, down for ground balls, left for left field, right for right field. Timing and pitch location will then determine the quality of contact made and the literal direction that your ball will go.

                                As a test, I recommend that you go up with every batter in an inning holding down while swinging, then the next inning left, next inning right... etc. Find out exactly how influential it is and how much [good] contact is dependent on the hitting system.

                                The retail version is supposed to feature a cursor hitting system as well as one-button swinging, so you won't be so limited if you don't like this current system.


                                EDIT: Oh haha, do you literally mean how to swing? Use the right analog stick, similar to the Tiger Woods video games. Back to load, forward to swing. My bad.
