Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

Graphics mean NOTHING. Zilch!

I think by now everyone knows this. I hated the graphics in 2k8. Atleast this is looking nice so far and I'm sure VC will do a good job at getting this game to be good. I want to see this game in action though I agree.

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

They need to release a trailer to show gameplay. I guess it's good that the lincecum screens were decent. Can't tell much more from those however...

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

Hmmm....graphics sure seemed to mean a lot to most people last year, as there were numerous complaints in that department.


PS: I love blanket statements

People need something to complain about.

2K hadn't released any screens, everyone bitches. 2K releases them, they look good, and everyone goes "graphics mean nothing". They can't win. I ask this, why did everyone want media and were complaining that none was released then? You have info and now some screens. Still not good enough.

Trust me, when/if they release a video, it'll be the same thing.

Actually that's the first thing that hit me last year. The ugly visuals and then the framerate etc.

Oh come on now OhCanada, don't get your beaver all bunched up in a knot. This isn't about gameplay at this point. It's about the first screens being released, and they look great.

It's freaking hilarious. People want screenshots so they can see the graphics, then bitch that graphics mean nothing.

And the people saying graphics mean nothing is crap. If we had 2k3 graphics people would be bitching. Graphics are one of the primary factors of realism. These pictures look pretty damn good to me. Hopefully the gameplay follows suit.

Anxiously hoping that we would get a good baseball game on 360. It's good to finally see something get out that does look pretty good and hopefully we get more and more good things in the upcoming month. Maybe their strategy is more to bum rush people at the end so instead of thinking about that steady stream of info you got from The Show, you remember the crazy blitz of info you just read on 2K and buy it instead.

So very true EG, I think the screen grabs look very nice. I would like to see some of players who were not in house to be designed though. Impressed with what I saw though, and my hopes for this game continue to accelerate.

Now, as someone mentioned, it will be nice to see the game in action...but I understand the term "babysteps", and appreciate the screen grabs today.

Very true. People are never happy and will always find something to complain about.

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

Man, I think the screens look great..

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

Due to 2k's track record on the PS3, I can't get excited until I play the retail game for myself as I only have a PS3. I'll be watching the 360 screens/videos hoping it plays/looks the same on the PS3.

But as a fan of the sport, I hope this game is great for all those who have (or only have) a 360. No fan of the sport should go without a good console baseball game to play.

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

lol...I find it funny that a group of people (not saying everyone...but I recognize some names) clamoring for screenshots get a couple, and now are saying things like "graphics mean nothing."

Let's get this out of the way. Graphics DO mean something. If they didn't people wouldn't have b*tched about the graphical drop off last year. It's accurate to say they mean significantly less than gameplay (and I buy the statement that they mean nothing if gameplay is terrible).

Anyway, with that small gripe out of the way...they looked good. I was actually more impressed with the life in the bullpen and dugout areas than the focal point of the screenshot (I now expect the players to look good...and Timmy did).

For me, and I've been saying this for awhile now, I withold real judgement on the visuals until I see this game in motion. Last years early screens looked pretty good too, as I recall. Obviously, we won't know anything about gameplay until we play it ourselves (I mean, at this point I'm not taking anyone elses word for it...lol).

It's good they finally have something out there for people to overreact to though...lol. Hopefully the info will start flowing now.

Agreed Art, by far the the biggest complaints last year were the two you mentioned. The secondary complaints such as the lack of base stealing, hit variety, etc..etc came in a distant 3rd, 4th, 5th for most people.

Re: First Screens on Pastapadre...

hey bro, wondering what you see thats weird in the body? I play The Show so much that I get used to the box shoulders and short arms so at times it takes me a bit to adjust to real proportions. But to me, this looks pretty darn accurate.

i think i wasnt clear...
but i actually dont mean the proportions, i was thinking mostly of how the clothes and such look...
just dont look like real clothes imo...

btw, im not comparing with the other game...i hate comparations..
