Hmm... well since you've played and I haven't, for now I shall trust your insight

I actually thought NBA 2K9 looked essentially the same on both, but seeing as how this is VC's first attempt at baseball on both, I could definitely see the scenerio playing out with the 360 version looking better.

Guess we'll find out Thursday, haha.

I wonder how this thread will hold up if the PS3 version sucks... yikes.

I've played about 6 games now and have seen barely any homers, yet there have been plenty of singles and doubles....basically the ball was going all over the field. I was amazed (and very happy). I then popped in 2K7 and played a game and there were 8 homers hit in one game (even with the power and contact turned way down). One of the reasons I play 2K7 is because it has even less homers than 2K8....

The hit variety in this game is MUCH better this year

VC did a HELL of a job in 1 year!!!

Graphics are better than 2k8, but not as good as 2k7.. BUT OVERALL, the game is smooth and I love the pitching and hitting. I have no doubts that once I get the game and play on the next highest difficulty.. I will be in baseball gaming heaven.

I don't care about the goofy stuff.. I just want to have fun and with this demo, I'm having fun.

It's a 360 port so I think most are aware that the ps3 version will be weaker of the two...

I know it's only a demo and I hate to break up the party but this game is SOOOOOOO BORRINGGGG! (for the record , I thought The Show was pretty boring last year too).

Maybe it's me, but I can't just get into it. What would 9 innings do to me in the full retail version when I'm getting bored with 3 innings. Got to say the presentation is excellent, and 2k did a great job this year in all it's sports games w/ presentation , especially NBA2K9.

Maybe I'll pick it up when it' goes down to $19.99 later in the summer.

Only thing that kinda bothers me is that I can't skip all the presentation features when I'm in a hurry, or tell the pitcher to move his *** and show me where he wants the pitch already, I wanna throw the ball! So that makes it a bit boring. It only bothers me a bit when in a rush...
