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

[Houston]

I hardly post anything on here anymore but SERIOUSLY guys are you are you kidding me with all this complaining and nik picking??? I mean MLB 2K8 was so horrible that they new the game was horrible and didnt release a DEMO until the game was already out. This year we have got alot of advertisment for MLB 2K9 early,Screenshots etc... Instead of complaining be lucky they even gave us all this info this year. WHat if it was like last year and still we havent seen or heard anything about this title yet?

It is up to you to reasearch before buying, all the forums and reviews said how bad 2K8 was, your stupid for still buying it without researching. A ill-informed consumer is a dumb consumer. All companies will say their product is good man you are so naive, you expect them to say "Sorry, or gae is not good this year, do not buy it"?

I was in a two and a half minute rundown with Rollins and I was safe. Seems a bit stupid, it would never hapen in real life. I also noticed that the fielders were controlled a lot by the computer...lame. The game looks great, I just wish we could see some options as far as changing the pitching style back. I hope you have more control over the fielders, it just seemed way to computer controlled.

You have nine posts and all of them are antagonizing someone. What's with THAT?

There definitely are some funky fielding animations going on. I dove for a ball....scooped it up with Iwamura and the guy was on his feet as if he was on a trampoline. It was missing some animations. Not a big deal...but it was there.
I'm sure guys have seen some quirky things....maybe they just didn't post it(I wasn't until you started jumping everyone)......
This is an impression thread...not an impression and ATTACK thread.

What are you filling in for Eddie until his next shift starts?(j/k Eddie )

The problem some of the impressions are BS. Obviously some have an agenda against 2k and MLB. The amount of nit-picking and flat out BS in this thread is amazing. The game has some issues (What game does not), but it is leaps and bounds better then 2K8.

Fair enough.
But not every guy posting a negative has an agenda.
Renegade is merely pointing out he's not feeling the fielding.
It's a demo....I'm hoping the animations are cleaned up(good chance they will be!) and some of these things are history.

So far the game sounds mediocre at best. Typical sports game release. Why am I not surprised?

Well I got a chance to play a couple of games. I'm not a huge fan of the hit stick (in fact I hate it) but it seems to me the pitching mechanics is a little more forgiving this year then it was last year and I may toy around with using the default pitching on the retail release.

I really love the light/day progression in this. Anyways I lost my first game (I was Rays) 5-1 and it was a bit of a homer fest and lost the 2nd one (as Phillies) 1-0

Overall I think the game is much improved from last year.
