      I can't believe it got a worse rating than 2K8. This game is better, but not perfect by any means.

      EDIT: at least they agreed:

      "The core gameplay is better than last year and provides a strong base on which to build a great franchise."

            If you read up the numbers at the end of the review, it makes 0 sense. I really think that 6.8 is really low.
            Go BC Eagles!!!
            Go STL Cardinals!!!
            Go STL Blues!!!
            Go STL Rams...please don't get Sam Bradford killed...

              Yeah, if you take the average of the numbers, it comes up to 7.4

              But they say their final rating is not an average, so whatever I guess.

                Alright, you got it now man. I think that the review was right in many places, although I haven't noticed the outfielders running around the ball on the ground in any games I've played thus far, though some of the fielding controls are a little off at times. Although I would've given it a better score, maybe an 8, I can see how some of the glitches might mean more to others than to me, so 6.8 is fair enough.

                  Right now, I'd probably give it a 7.5, but if they can fix some bugs, I may kick it up to 8.....maybe.

                    Seems like a good review. Unfortunately they didn't have enough time and released a buggy unfinished game. Hopefully in a year or 2 the series will be back. I won't be buying until then.

                      ...if I had a nickel for every time I disagreed with Hilary Goldstein...maaan!

                      If I were a developer at 2K, I'd either be embarrassed or ready to send a defamation lawsuit.

                        Casual baseball fans may not notice some of the problems with MLB 2K9, but those who dedicate themselves to the franchise mode and playing dozens if not hundreds of games will find the AI issues and bugs mounting up to unacceptable levels. The most egregious happens on occasion with balls that hit the outfield fence and die near the warning track. I've witnessed a few occasions where the outfielder continually runs in place against the fence as the batter is able to trot around the bases for an inside-the-park homer. One time the left fielder clipped through the fence and disappeared for a few seconds, only to reappear and make a throw to home.

                        These types of odd anomalies occur too often to be ignored. Just last night, Ichiro managed a triple against my A's squad. However, the cut-off man overthrew third base and the ball went into the dugout, giving Ichiro a free pass to home plate. Only, Ichiro was never credited with a run (or an out). He was no longer on third, but not technically safe at home.
                        I've seen this happen to me as well. Player wasn't able to pick up the ball against the outfield wall and the player scored. Was credited with a HR. WTF??? This was in my first game as well.

                        This bug needs to be patched asap or this game is going back!

                          I don't know. I'm not much of fan of Goldstein either, but his review seemed pretty fair for the most part.

                            Yeah, I'd say the same thing. I found no fault in his reasoning, we just differed in how much the bugs effected gameplay.

                              A fair review but I can't believe he didn't take about the AI being hyper aggressive. I think this is the biggest issue and I'm praying 2k is working on a patch to release this. I honestly can't pitch anywhere up in the zone because this means an automatic double when playing on allstar.
