I mean the commentary is great they are very fluid but i just don't hear the enthusiasm. The crowd is cheering which is awesome. The celebration by rollins at the end is very realistic. However other than the fans cheering where is the excitment? You don't see the umpire waving his arms "SAFE".

Dude it was the first inning, Plus as many have posted the audio is not fully implemented in and Would you rather have a discrepency or a Home run in May by Ryan Howard in the second inning to make it 1-0 sound and feel/look exactly Like Ryan Howard hitting a Walk-Off in september against the division rival Mets? Granted they do get very excited dont get me wrong but check this out

I'm sorry to do this, but I gotta correct you on this word. This is the second time I've seen this word spelled wrong. It's granted. Granite is a material.

The thing is this: it's being played at an NL park, and the game doesn't seem to recognize the concept of a neutral field. If the Orioles, for instance, turned a triple play at Yankee Stadium, would Yankee fans cheer?

In this case, the fans were behaving as "NL fans" instead of a neutral fan base and were stonily silent at the visiting team for turning a TP.

Never thought of that makes perfect sense kind of

What sports games need - not just MLB 2K9 - is the third option of fan reaction.

Yes, there's Booing and Cheering, but there's also the Startled Gasp, which is basically "oh!" and gasping in an OMFG mode by the fans.

The Startled Gasp would occur when a strange play occurs (ie. triple play, weird dive) - which would be followed by cheering if it benefited the home team, or an injury on the field (which would be followed by cheering if it's a visiting player at Citizens Bank Park or Fenway).
