I think most are just hoping that it closes the gap.

Sadly, I think that more and more people are going with the Show. Even those who may not have made the plunge - will - once the PS3 price drops occurs as it has been rumored to be....

They need to hustle up...I want to know something.

This series has so much potential, but i have a feeling it will end up being a AAAA player in the end.

I love that it has all 3 minor league levels...but the system is broken.

I love the player models..but the gameplay is broken.

I love the custom music and stadium music...but it doesnt sound right.

I love the right analog pitching system, but they made it too hard.

I love the swing stick, but they screwed up the ball physics and there are too many homeruns.

I love the signature styles, but the faces looked jacked.


I love all the sliders, but I hate how I fight with them all the time to get a decent game (been doing this since 2k5).


I am not going to get this series again until this board is impressed with it again.

i am so tired of waiting with bated breath only to have the wind knocked out of me year after year when it comes to this game. yes i love to play baseball and yes i pray this will be a good release because we have no other choices, but seriously why so hard to make a decent baseball game? Also the lack of any mention to franchise and multiple seasons can not be a good sign. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised but the sad reality of the sports side to video games has been utter and complete disappointment thus waiting for a patch or as cubs fans like to say "next year"

Yeah. Im not too worried since I have a PS3 and have the luxury of trying both games. If I didnt then I might be a little bit worried.

I'm confused, wasn't Visual Concepts always involved with making this game since the 2K series first appeared on the Sega Dreamcast?

2k did not release a demo early last year and you have to wonder about the lack of promo again this year.
