Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Orioles @ Bluejays (Hits)

[SwinginAs12]

I want the demo like now, this game looks dope.

I like the way gamespot thinks their videos are like 10 min long. Tie all the related videos into one long video. Thatll be sweeet.

Dang, I just wanted to see a replay of that HR lol for the record it looked kinda akward, owell though...

looked like it will be a fun arcade game...the way they make the super-crashing bat sound when you get a good hit (actually sounded like a gunshot) is an interesting twist on the real game.

Stadium was a decent interpretation, you could tell it was supposed to be Rogers Center.

It doesnt seem like it represented real baseball as usually you have to hit the ball with the bat for it to go 400 feet. I am being a bit sarcastic, and I know its just the way the game has played for the last few years, but I really like the realism of seeing the ball hit the bat and seeing a ball hit where its pitched.

commentary did seem sort of canned, but its hard to complain compared to the last few years of the same dialogue over and over. At least its new.

seems like a definite step in the right direction. They have a few more years with the license, so maybe next year or 2 they can wrap it all up into a game worthy of the exclusivity.

LOL. I was trying to put my finger on what that reminded me of

Now it comes back to me... I know the baserunning graphic reminded me of something!

I actually played that electric baseball game, the graphics were a little stuttery

I hope the yellow runners are placeholders in the beta for something better looking and hopefully animated. It's not the end of the world if it looks like this in the retail version, but it does seem out of place with all of the other excellent graphics.

no need to troll....bat sound dont make a game arcadish....you just seem to want to entice a war between this and the show....eventhough you were careful not to mention the show....we know where you are going...so please keep bashing to yourself and talk about the game or dont

Stadium looks really nice...no one sitting in the seats directly behind home plate for some reason, but other than than it looks awesome (would be nice to get the video boards working I guess, but if they don't have out of town scoreboards I'd rather they put that up than something that isn't actually on there ahem).

Overbay looks weird wearing 35 again
