That doesnt look like a high res picture either.

oK, now goign back and really looking at them pictures. YOu can tell they are really low resolution pictures. Everything looks really distorted.

"Two of the replays stand out. The first is on a triple by Winn, the throw was wide of third, and the Brewers third baseman caught the ball, then dove at the sliding Winn to try and make the play. The other was a ball hit to second baseman Kevin Frandsen. He was running to his right, put a glove on the ball, bobbled it, then bare-handed it off the dirt and threw off balance to still make the play at first."





I wonder if the meatballs are still there if you use 2k8's pitching, cause I'll most likely use it for 2k9(the new pitching controlls seem too easy), and I'm worried that if I mess up the ball will fly out of the yard like in 2k8.It would be great if they listened to us who loved 2k8's pitching(but hated the meatballs), and just made a messed up motion or release turn into a ball instead of a 450ft HR.

man, I hope you are right! Just noticed the Fred Lewis one too...so jagged and I guess they are going with the "flat grass texture" again this year.

Agreed. Trevy is right though, it looks the Wii version of the game.

They are, Ronnie just told me they are really low res. You can just tell without any confirmation from him anyways. lol

The grass doesn't look flat in the trailer.It's not at the same level as the dirt like how it was in 2k8.

I don't want to sound like a know it all but I can guarantee they are high resolution pictures scaled re-sized to fit the screen. You could blame it on the software he used to make the images smaller.

Sounds pretty good. It's hard to get a grasp for the "feel" of gameplay in an article like that, but it sounded like he was immersed in the game and had fun, which is extremely important. Also liked the menus for franchise and the depth of the metrics they've added...making stat depth a real plus for this game.

Now, just give me a gameplay video or two, and I'll be on my way...lol.
