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

It would of been nice if the demo had a option to view what the controller buttons can do in the game.

After playing some games of the demo i can see why the demo was not put in the new arrivals section but left hidden like it was an old release.

The jerky animations take away from the gameplay. The outfielders seem like there running in quicksand at times. A fielder right under the icon will drop the ball at times like he is manny ramirez. This issue might have to do with the camera angle.

The control schemes for batting and pitching are still lame. At least they made it easier with the pitching so your not trying to pull off street fighter moves like 2k8.

The one positive is the commentary. I wish the show had commentary like this. It gives the game a realistic broadcast like your watching espn.

Is it POSSIBLE to tell someone to steal without them being off on first move and getting easily picked?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

This is really bad: I pitched a perfect 3 innings throwing nothing but curves. 27 pitches.

I think they said it sounded, but did not move.

my bleep moved when it sounded. Does that count?

My biggest worry is whether the Liberty Ball sounds or not, too.

Man, this thread has gone downhill & the Demo has been out for how long?

Well I just downloaded this piece of disaster demo. I was bored by the 2nd inning, it feels like I am playing a game on the Wii. The colors are too bright and the grass looks pathetic. 90% of the pitches I threw were swung at!! wtf is up with that? I will admit it is better than 2k8, but it still has problems. Oh well.
