Here is another Major League Baseball 2K9 video. We've posted a few more screenshots as well, just to show off the zone hitting.

For all of those commenting on the lack of crowd noise. Please take a look at this video and know that you can sleep well now. VC has a monster on their hands. Great crowd noise on the double play. That reaction after the run is scored at the end of the video is nice. This real time atmosphere thing is SIMPLY BRILLIANT. Just watch everything going on, particularly the reaction from the dugout on the foul ball. VC has raised the bar with this game.

Video was great

Zone hitting icon looks a bit weird though in the screens?

I'd still like to get a glimpse of the homerun derby.

First of all go Phillies!! I'd like to see phillies mets at citi field and secondly you can see there is a clipping issue between the ball boy and jimmy Rollins but i'm sure a patch can fix that

Thanks Steve!

Another nice video. MLB 2K9 looks much better than 2K8, and while it may lack some of the "punch" of 2K7, the real-time world more than makes up for it (for me).

Gary Thorne's play-by-play is fantastic and Steve Phillips is wonderful as well. I'm hearing more "generic" stuff from him, that could work with other teams. After Thorne mentions Kazmir on the mound, Phillips says... "This will be interesting. A lefty on the mound against a lineup with a lot of good, lefty hitters."

That is not a Kazmir specific line. It just sound so damn natural.

Thanks again Steve!

I think we'll need some slider tweaks.. Rollins should have made it home with no throw, imho on that double.. but I hope we only have to make some minor tweaks for a playable game out of the box so to speak.

You're really doing a great job posting all these videos.

The game shows a ton of potential.

Thanks Steve. The videos keep getting better.

That one had the best audio so far.

We must have watched different videos. I tought the crowd reaction after the RBI double sucked. Usually a play like that sends a home crowd into a frenzy, the reaction in the game was passive. And the fans didnt even stand up to anticipate the play at the plate.

What's getting on my nerves more and more is the ridiculous missing frame rate when the pitchers release the ball. This has me worried that there will be an overrall framerate issue in the game.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Rays @ Phillies 1st

It's absurd that Jayson Werth still has a generic stance. I thought it was cool that MLB 09 has his signature style.

Anyway...

Personally, I feel every Phillie projected to start should have his signature style. After all, they are the world champs.
