The immersion is huge for me, and the "real world" looks like it is going to deliver on that aspect. As far as the bat sounds and other little quirks, it's just not an issue for me. Its a video game, and I just want to have fun playing it. I understand that these may be big for some, and I respect that, but they are just minor to me. For the first time in 3 years, I feel like I will not have to defend or explain why I enjoy the 2k baseball game. Maybe if I only had a 360, I might have a different point of view, but for now, I am very happy with what I have seen from the small examples of what we have been shown.

Well said Bluengold!! I agree with you in that I want a decent playable game as a second option to The Show. Would be nice to mix it up some. Like you, I can look past the minor things in 2K9 as long as the game delivers a fun experience and has a problem free online component.

The "other game" has me really concerned in the area of online performance. I just dont have a lot of confidence that they have corrected the issues from last year. BUT I HOPE I'M WRONG ABOUT THAT!! Would be nice to get into a few online leagues this year (on both games)

Can somebody post the video here?For some reason I can't watch videos or enlarge pics on this site.

Is there another site where I can see the video?

[Pared]

I am in LOVE. Game looks very playable. Certainly needs some work (you can see it already) but WOW... looks really damn cool.

Next year could be something special but the foundation seems to be there!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the delay in camera change after the ball goes into the play. Freakin' fantastic.

Yeah I noticed that too Theriot didn't have a stance Neither did Shumaker etc... but with 300 sig styles I'm sure we can find some stances for them.

James Loney didin't have his stance in the other video either.

Which 300 players did they focus on?The Rob Quinlan types?

Haha Yeah I was gonna mention Loney and Kemp as well. I'm not sure probably some of teh big name players they didn't have in last year probably. EXAMPLE: Longoria, Carlos Pena etc.... But don't worry I know a few stances to use from last year on the players seen in the videos without a sig style.

Yeah Hoos, my concerns are right there with you on the "other" games on line ability. I am hoping that we see something similar as far as leagues go, that we have seen in NBA 2k9. I am still in my 3rd league with the same group of guys really( Kodiak, Auburn Alum, Stewatt, Roch, Ruff, JohnDoe, bornindamecca) and half of the reason we still play this game is because the coolness that is the on line support and leagues website.

I did have a question...twice now I have either read or heard that this is last year for MLB 2k9....( I just heard and saw it with my own eyes in the in house video that EB plays in their stores.

Does anyone have any insight to this, I have a hard time beleiving that EB made this big of a mistake in their own in house video???
