    wow! the game atmosphere felt really great, as well as the feel of the bat when it makes contact with the ball...

    Love the commentary!!!

    this franchise is taking steps in the right direction.

      Not too bad. I too loved how the camera stays with the hitter a bit longer after the ball is hit.

      I think presentation elements are lacking though... It's just kind of awkwardly focusing on players when big moments happen that should be getting big reactions from the teams/players (like the grandslam).

      I only played my copy of 2k10 for a couple hours so I can't really say how this game compares to last year's, but this looks pretty decent. I also liked the hitting camera, it seemed to make it quite a bit easier to pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand.

      Also, the pitching changes seemed kind of odd and unnatural too. It would show a shot of Jose Contreras and put up a graphic for Ryan Madsen and they'd just start talking about Madsen, without any graphic of him 'entering' the game or any mention of a pitching change. Maybe it was just me, I found those parts especially awkward.

          Manuel looked like a zombie...still seems a lot of hits are line drives...game still seems to play more like 'fastpitch softball'...

          It was fun last year, it'll be fun this year, but I don't see any marked improvement

            Great video, but was a bit bummed that I didn't get to see the USER pitch or field. I wanted to see the new pitching meter, the new throwing meter, and even the Rockies pitching cam (I wanted to see a ball hit to the OF as well to see how the new fielding works).

            Love the commentary though and definitely look foward to trying this game out.

              It maybe a coincidence, but isn't it a little odd that they said they toned down opposite field homers and in the first video a opposite field grand slam?

                    Actually I believe they did show the Madsen "coming into the game" cutscene or at the very least the JC Romero one. So it's there, the person playing may have cut it out.

                    I thought they said there'd be no "tells" on HRs and immediately in the first video you can definitely tell that was a Grand Slam homer.

                    I did like the atmosphere and the commentary is definitely beefed up.

                    Overall this game is looking pretty damn good.

                      They said the no-doubters would still have "tells", it was the ones that only go a row or two in that it would stay with the regular camera.

                        Oh thanks, I thought they meant no tells at all.

                          Hate to say it, but if someone told me that was a video of 2K10 I wouldn't even argue. I didn't really notice any of the improvements I kept reading about. The swing animations still seem stiff and jerky, the real-time presentation is still awkward, and where are the "4,000 new animations" I read about? The developers said they re-did all the swing animations, but I saw no such instances in that video. I'm gonna have to see some more footage to really get a full idea of all the gameplay improvements.

                            I'm not sure what to think......Would have liked to see more as others mentioned the "new fielding". One thing mentioned in the "What We Know Thread" was there was suppose to be rally towels for playoff games......Didn't see any of it?????

                            Someone tell Ron from 2K to show us the top of the 9th!

                              I was impressed with the crowds as well. Like that they are interactive as one of the fans actually caught the HR ball and held it up afterwards. Very impressed with the game graphically compared to 2k10.
                              EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
