Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Two major problems I've already found.

First, I was trying to pick off Rollins and had him three times but Pena decided to jump towards Kazmir as he's catching the ball before he tries to tag Rollins. Finally picked Rollins off on the forth try after he decided to take another step off the bag.

Second, I was trying to track down a foul pop up with Howard and for some reason he couldn't get near enough to the ball to catch it. It was as if he hit an invisible wall. That could be a problem.

Other than not knowing the controls the demo was good. I didn't expect perfection and since the AI actually steals bases and doesn't swing at everything in the zone it was a little better than expected. Was a little pissed Ibanez wouldn't try and score on a passed ball and when I tried to make him it was too late and he got thrown out at third. Also, Howard made a few defensive plays he could never make in real life but I can live with that.

Not to beat around the bush, When I was the phillies I seen the AI take 4 strikes in one half inning
I really like the feel of the game, The commentary as metioned is flawless
I havent seen any players run through the wall, With sliders I think this could be an ultimate game,
I personally would adjust the batting camera, lower it and zoom it more

Another person who sees what I see. This game is looking really good so far. The CPU hitters showed a good amount of patience against me.

I already posted I got 9 straight hitters throwing NOTHING but curves.

And only threw 27 pitches.

Which is what you want them to do. I am easily able to retire everyone on 2-3 pitches. 17 pitches in 3 innings? Ugh.

I notice people seem to like the faces but they look quite similar to 2K4 in my opinion. Griffey looks nothing like himself in this game.
So... you're saying 2K9 is a beta for 2K10? What if 2K10 is a beta for 2K11?

Could be the level this demo is on.
