plusses and minuses

- the fielding controls are sluggish and flat out horrendous

- baserunning controls same thing

- bad and inappropriate animations that look stupid

- the AI is horrible. i just got in a pickle and spent 5 minutes and 200 throws running back and forth before i got tired of it and just ran into the out. saw carlos pena decide to go for a triple with 1 out for no reason in a scoreless game and get thrown out by half a basepath. fielders missing balls for no reason because the controls are garbage

- they dumbed down the pitching which i thought was a neat feature.

- there are no replays in the demo and i'm guessing that's because
they run at 5 frames per second

+ inside edge is cool

+ some of the presentation is cool, but i really don't give a crap about it if i can't field a routine ball without it turning into a ridiculous slow motion horror show

+ the quick menus with the dpad are nice

+ they improved the framerate from "wtf were they thinking" to "terrible"

2k needs to re prioritize how their game works. it's like what's going on in the field during the game is just filler and the cutscenes, and whatever stupid crap the announcers are saying is what they want you to be impressed with.
What does that remind me of. Oh yeah NBA2K9
