Major League Baseball 2K9 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[brendanrfoley]

I just found a work around for people having problems with XBox Live.

Sign into your XBOX.com account and add the demo to your queue. As soon as you power up your XBOX 360, it will start to download (as it is for me right now)!

Really. 2K must have heard the bad reviews and decided to pull back the demo..."No more demo for you" Nah, all jokes aside, that is strange.

this thread is great. Everyone is all over the place. Some love hitting, some hate hitting, some think you get call K's, some think you never get called K's. And on and on and on.....

I havnt played it yet since im working, I always hate it when people give a 1 sided view. No game is ever a 10 and no game is ever a 0. If you cant find one pro or con in your opinion, then your only looking for the good or bad.....and your opinion offers no value and even less credibility

i aprieciate the people who are posting both pros and cons. Keep it up :righton:

its been like that all morning.....i ran into the same issue but was able to start the DL before leaving for work

goto games marketplace>>>>demos>>>>>new Arrivals
you will see 2 options, 1 is the greyed option for not available and the other is for ALL DOWNLOADS

Click ALL DOWNLOADS and you will get the demo

As a brief aside... Microsoft has had MLB 2K7 and 2K9 mixed up on the Marketplace for a week and a half. Doesn't anyone at Take2 notice? It will likely lead to potential customers downloading a 2 year old demo and leaving unimpressed.

i dont think they are regressing, but to me, the game play improvements are not much of an upgrade. the throwing, fielding etc just is stale to me i guess. same with nba 2k, they make a great b-ball game, but just is stale..

I'm very impressed. I was expecting to be let down.

Well I am impressed so far....there is just a "fun" factor about this game. I really like the hitting and a lot of the negatives from last year seemd to be gone. The commentary is top notch, and the presentation/living world is really well done.

It may not equal that of the competition this year, but if VC puts the same effort into next years game.......could be very close.
