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

[dlasp66]

I also noticed that u when throwing the baseball towards a base u can use the joy stick or the face buttons(very similar to mvp baseball); Too be fair and honest this game is a great improvement from 2k8 ( o yea u still can use the 3 step process of pitching from 2k8 for those who like challenges like myself), I love the demo, and soxfan probably has the best review out of everyone here (but come on man ads as neegative.....who cares lol!). But yea some certain animations and the fielding seem quite flawed

Fair enough, but if you been on the internet awhile, you know some users Do have agendas against certain games, this is quite common, but, I digress. Some had their minds made up long ago despite the final product.

After three games, I haven't seen a homerun yet, so I'm glad it doesn't seem to be the homerun fest that other 2K games have been. Hitting does seem a bit too easy, but we'll be able to adjust the difficulty sliders in the full version, so I'm looking forward to that.

Can someone elaborate on the computer swinging at pitches in the zone so I don't have to go through all the pages?

So far this demo is pretty fun. Hitting variety while not awesome, it's pretty decent. Pitching is too slow , and the cpu does take too many swings at strikes but pitching is well-done.

Animations are hit and miss but also passable. Graphics and real-time are really good.

Everything looks to be good except the gameplay which to me is incomplete because there are no options to fiddle with.

If we can somehow make the cpu hitters behave realistically and user pitching is difficult enough that we will issue walks....I really do think this game will be a winner in all facets this year and will be a stiff challenge to the show in years to come.

Let's hope the final version with sliders will take care of these 2 problems I mentioned....

This is just so funny. If he came to the 2k board and read all the "positive" reviews and comments and bought the game and it sucked. He would come here and complain and you would say the same thing. He's reading and giving his impressions so others can benefit yet you're the one bashing him for it. What's the point of pointing out his ignorance when you show you have just as much if not more byonly caring about your point of view and completely dismissing what he;s saying as utter BS?

My point is that theres to much bashing over a DEMO when its not the actual game. The DEMO is nowhere perfect. I talk to christian from 2ksports on a daily basis and have been for the past year and I already knew what to expect with this DEMO. Again the demo is simply what it is a DEMO.

But this is the DEMO impressions thread. We're supposed to give our impressions based on the demo. If VC decided to release a demo based on a very early, buggy build, why shouldn't we be truthful about it? This is what they gave us and this is what we'll comment on. I find it fun but there are many many lil, and some not so lil, things that need to be fixed...
