What's your point?

MY point is they're f'ing wasting time on analog crap when they COULD be spending that time WORKING ON THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL PART OF BASEBALL: THE HITTER/PITCHER CONFRONTATION.

I'd rather have them work on making it so that I can work the count as a hitter and have hitters fooled as a pitcher than the idiotic analog stick, and the even MORE idiotic pitching analog which doesn't feel like baseball one whit. It feels like a minigame crammed into the game to give someone with no attention span something to do.

It doesn't feel like baseball.

yes, use the directional buttons, think down is for substitutions, up for defensive alignments...

Don't have the demo, not a gold member. Hopefully I can download the PS3 version in a couple days, but from watching this....

The game is definitely workable, definitely. I remember buying 2k8 (twice, lol) and both times I had to put it away because the presentation was so repetitive and boring. This games presentation, warts and all, is a vast improvement. One thing I noticed BIG TIME, I saw some pitches called balls that would have definitely been called strikes in 2k8. That's a good sign.

Does the game look unfinished? Yep, to me looks like the first/second year of a three year plan, but, that hasn't happened due to a change in command.

I think it looks like a big leap and if I can update my PC a little bit (actually going to wait and see how other PCs handle the game), I'll be picking it up. Should be tweakable to make everyone happy.

I really dont see what the complaints are about the graphics i mean it looks great to me and its just an old build of the game so i know how polished the final product will be this is a pretty solid demo hell if you ask me this demo beats out the final version of 2k8 thats just my input

My point is that some actually like the analog controls. Like me. There are options though.

If you don't like it then don't buy it man. That's all I can really say.

Phillips talking about how the manager should consider the squeeze play with a man on third, less than 2 outs.

Of course, there's 2 outs.

Then again, Phillips has always been a dolt.
