Something needs to represent that on the video game baseball diamond. 2k chose meters.
As for the demo. I liked it a lot.
Why are the controls impossible to figure out? I have no idea at all how to hit.

For the guys repeating themselves, find something else to do. Do yourself (and us) a favor and delete the demo and move on and find something productive to do. Either that or put all your posts in one. Posting 43 different times how the CPU won't do this, so and so looks stupid and the controller won't work when upside down is a disgrace to baseball gaming is getting old.
This has to be one of the worst impressions thread in OS history and it isn't because of the game.

Have any of you press the directional button down arrow when you're up at bat or pitching?
It brings up the batting order and you can pinch hit for any batter batting with pressing the player to substitute and then hitting the right button to the bench for the batter to bat.
For pitching it brings up the batting order again and then you hit the right button and it takes you to the pitchers and you can either warm up or substitue the pitcher. When you warm up a pitcher, you can view the bullpen too.
This is a neat and fun game.

I suggest everyone takes what Pared says to heart. Infractions will start being handed out if people can not stop repeating the same stuff over and over.
I mean seriously. I have seen some people posting almost exactly the same thing over and over again. Are you just hoping to reach a new batch of people to get under their skin?
If you don't like the game, that's perfectly fine. Say your piece and move on. Its really quite simple. If it angers you that much, then write Visual Concepts, 2K sports, Take Two Interactive or, your freakin congressmen, Just don't go on and on about it here.
Thanks.

Moving on. I like the demo, but I also liked the game last year, for the most part. if they fixed the stuttering issue and the stealing issue, I'm happy. I'm not quite as up in arms over the CPU swinging at all balls in the zone and none outside issue, but I have noticed it. I think there were sliders for this type of thing last year so I'm sure it can be tweaked. I'll live. I will also switch back to last years controls most likely. I liked the pitching and batting the way they were. Overall, judging from the demo, this game will be as I had expcted, a better version of 2K8, which is a positive in my eyes.
Along with the in-game saves, this is a day one buy.

I gave a demo impression earlier in the day, however, after several more games of playing I want to point out 2 important things with regard to the visuals.
- For those of you playing this game in 1080p on your hdtv, the game looks much better with regard to animations, frame rate, and overall visuals when played in 720p (tried it on The Show a few weeks back and decided to do it to this game as well and it improved my experience big time)
- The clould movement in this game is revolutionary, those of us that played VC's NFL 2K5 will notice that we have not seen anything like this on any game since then, as this effect changes the lighting of the game constantly along with the shadows as if it were a dynamic lighting effect, most clouds are just a painted back drop in other games. If you pay attention to Gary Thorne, he will ACTUALLY POINT OUT WHEN THE SUN IS TRYING TO POP IN AND OUT WITH VARIOUS SUN LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE GAME.

Trolling and incessant game bashing without being constructive is not, and will not be tolerated.

For those who need the help:
It's a demo.
The demo is on a low difficulty level.
It's a demo.
The demo is unfinished.
It's a demo.
This game is obviously in year one of a rebuilding phase and it's not going to be the most perfect game out.
It's a demo.
Again, I can't be the only one annoyed to see posts from individuals back to back like this:
ENOUGH MAN, damn. OS now has a blog feature where you can keep a running tally of your games. And that doesn't mean you can't post your impressions but it would be nice if people post just that: IMPRESSIONS. It's obvious if guys don't like the game. But to keep posting about it if you really hate it that damn much is getting downright obnoxious. Have the same level of respect you'd like others to by not spamming the thread. If you don't like the game, say your peace and move on.

You are wrong on one thing:
Your posts are continuous and about the same thing. It's called trolling.
I am all for constructive criticism, but to constantly bash and bash and bash with no thought is just mindless clutter, and people tend to ignore you after the first 3-4 posts.
This is to everyone:
From this point on, anymore trolling (read: non-constructive criticism) will be red carded, and the person carded will be subject to a one month ban the 2K9 forum based on the moderating team's judgement call. Yes, I said judgement call, and if you don't want us to have to make that decision, I suggest you think long and hard before posting.
As for the MLB 09 fans: Stay out of this thread. I don't care what the reason. If you are here to tell 2k9 fans "what they are missing", don't. It's not needed in this thread or forum.

Let's attempt to clean this up without the mod team stepping in again, folks.

My first game ended in a 4-4 tie with 6 hits for each team, and I struck out 3 batters. I had one double, but there should have been another but I didn't figure out the base running controls until later. Only big thing that concerned me was every run I scored was with a HR, and there were 5 in the game total. It looked pretty good and the presentation was excellent. Player faces were hit and miss, some looked great, other not so much. I did think the fielding was a little jerky and the players moved too fast. If I was a xbox gamer only, I would pick this up. Looks like 2k really stepped up this year and put out a good effort.
I finally got to play the demo when I got home from work.
I'm not ecstatic--- deep down I desperately want a new engine. I still see sluggishness in the outfield, and weird choppy transition animations. The running controls are clunky... Overall the controls feel out of touch. Bah.
Still, I'd love to play the full game so I can tweak the settings to my liking. But I refuse to pay full price again.

#1 This is a early build version of the DEMO......A DEMO!
#2 Easy mode on any game of any genre will be EASY!!!
meaning that my 6 year old son can pick up the "sticks" and play right away which was the intention of the developer, lets be realistic with expectations here, the demo was free for a reason and not $60.00......this is a pick up and play experience, hence no demo user control guide, no difficulty setting aside from easy mode, 3 innings, and demo came out 1 week prior to release where there is no way for the dev team to get demo feedback from the community to effect game before release.
