Ok, but that's not really relevant to discussion about MLB 2K9. All you're really saying is how great you think The Show is going to be, and there's another forum for that

Your first impression post was alright, but then to add two more posts just saying how much better The Show is going to be is overkill.

I think the two things that are really hindering this game's greatness, demo-wise, are the lack of customizable options and the jaggies (I'm assuming this is only prevalent in the PS3 version much like NBA 2K9). This is a great first step past the unplayable MLB 2K8, and I can't wait to rent this. But like I've been saying, I think 2K10 is the real gem. In the end, this is one of those games that's whose play:watch ratio (on a "fun" scale) is greater than maybe that of The Show. I don't mean that in any other terms than The Show is fantastic to watch, yet 2K9 shines best in itself when you play it. Commentary is fluid, natural, and sort of one of those games where you're not really listening to the lines as much as you're listening to them talking. This could add to less "repetition," if that makes sense.

I Dl both versions and the 360 version has no jaggies. the ps3 version has jaggies and it's the first thing i noticed.

I'm hoping the PC demo comes out tomorrow...I'm anxious to see how that looks. I'm also curious to see the patch notes for the game (and if it applies to PC as well-it should) to see what else besides the budgeting got fixed.

Overall, I'm on the fence about the game, but impressed with how VC is addressing this rebuild. The game is being taken seriously by the developer and I haven't felt that from the 2K series for a while.

i would have to say i don't agree with that, jaggies didn't come much into play on my tv, graphics not being up to par on the ps3 version i would say bingo, but i didn't play the 360 version, i have a pretty good hd tv and saw no jaggies on the ps3, just bad graphics

Oh and ps, its a legally prescribed drug to me.

I think I've heard of that, but.. what does it do ?

I gotta say, I'm pretty darn impressed by the demo.

GREAT, I repeat, GREAT presentation, especially the commentary. I also find the batting/pitching to be very fun.

The negatives, like all have said, are based mainly around some of the wonky animations.

Kudos to VC though... what a turnaround.

It actually serves a lot of different purposes. Mine is used as an emergency med when I have a panic attack or have severe anxiety.

Its also used as a sedative for ER patients, and is used to treat epilepsy.
