Now that we have seen gameplay video and have read about the improvements, changes, and franchise mode, who is buying it?

I personally have bought every rendition of this game for several years, so I will be getting it. I'd imagine Ill be playing the Show a bit more, but it is nice to get a little different experience once in a while, so I'll probably pick this one up too.

yes I'm going to buy it. If it has show-stopping issues like 2k8 that go unchecked again though I'll never buy another 2k product. This is literally the last chance for them with me.

However, having said that it looks like this title might be just what the doctor ordered. Looks pretty good to be honest.

Me to i have bought every 2k game since world series baseball for Genesis, last year i rented it and thank god i did. This year there are a couple of issues that i am still warry of and will read everyones impressions before i go out and buy it. But overall i am pleased what i see, but that only gets so far.

I'm very interested in the PC version, but to be honest I need to play it first hand and wait out some PC reviews before I make the plunge. There are too many little things that are bugging me, so I need to make sure they don't dampen the overall experience before I buy.

Mark me down as "undecided" for now.

No, unfortunately! Maybe next year.

Yep, purchasing. The information from the past week sent the game from a likely buy to a must buy. I think the new takes VC (seems to) have on Presentation with RTA and customizable gameplay cameras have the potential for having as much impact as Signature Styles has had, where it's something that's desired in other sports games. Also like that they've simplified/improved the gameplay interface while retaining it's interactivity. And really looking forward to how they seem to be doing Practice mode. Game should be a lot of fun
