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

I think I remember this being discussed earlier in the day, but I can't find the comments now. So I apologize if this is a dumb question.

I can find the demo in the marketplace, but when I select it, the "download demo" box is grayed out, and a dialog box next to it says "this feature is temporarily unavailable". Then if I select " all files" I can select the demo, but I immediately get an error message. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

Some of the player animations look very stiff and unrealistic.

Everyone has realized by now that this games tv style presentation will rival any next gen sports title, however, has anyone noticed that even with the good quality of the presentation, that the replay feature is not active for the demo, meaning that zoomed in replay cut scenes are not even being shown yet along with in between inning highlights which were confirmed to be in the final retail version by devs and people who have beta copies.

I am pointing this out b/c the I really think that the retail version of the game will realy blow people away.

I think we should all just forget this impression thread ever happened and wait for the full game. I'm still enjoying the demo to be honest. I have tried to go into it with an open mind, and there are certain things I still think the game is lacking nad leaves certain things to be desired as far as wow factor and just overall competitive play and that feeling of really dueling on the mound and at the plate. But it is on pro. Crank this up a few notches and mess with some sliders and this could should be pretty sweet. We know this game is going to have a ton of modes and options so let's just wait and see. I was reading impressions over at 2k and it seems to me like the overall consensus is that the game is a step up and pretty promising.

i think also that the level or frequency of HR's hit in the demo compared to what you can see in the retail version will change if you use the zone/cursor hitting option as it wont be just timing the swing you also have to have a good location on it to get a good bang

Damn, I almost forgot about the Zone hitting, as 2k calls it. That makes me more excited.
