Say what you will about SCEA's baseball franchise- but they have a gameplan- and they have stuck to it. It's one of the biggest reasons the game is as good as it is......And 2K should be right there with them had they not mishandled this asset so poorly. Just really frustrating.

Either way, those that are frustrated have every right to be so. But the team in place is showing they have a decent base to work off of going forward.
It's sort of like MVP 2003. It wasn't the best baseball title but the base was there, and the expectations were high. Sure, there's plenty of "stupid" in the demo... but there's plenty to be excited about as well.

I'm enjoying the demo. I was just wondering how much time they've probably had to iron out some of the quirky things that people have said they've seen.

I hear ya nomaaaah. It's a shame it took them this long to get the game to VC in the first place. They should have been working on the game for a while now.
That development studio has proven to put out games teeter enough on the brink of realism where the general public enjoys the game.
I haven't enjoyed a MLB game from 2k since ESPN 2k4. And while I can easily see this game won't be perfect, much like MVP 2003... there is an upside there. It has me, as a baseball fan, excited.
EDIT: bah is right in his usual, curt way. Back to the impressions.

Though i love the demo, nothing has wowed me in sports games at all, maybe the graphics on the show but that it the graphics.
It stinks that it takes to long to develop games and also it stinks that VC is finally working on the game cause they have the resources now.
Here is what really worries me is the fact that we are on what year 4 of the 360 and hadnt had a decent baseball game or even football, hockey yes finally. What worries me is that the new systems are coming out soon which means back to square 1 soon that blows. And games havent even used the tru power of the 360 i think the sports gaming is in serious trouble and i wish there was a way to fix it but there is not. The economy, what fans demand vs profit vs politics, it's all relevant since the 360. Shame really.

My impression of the game is that it isn't fun. I found myself only 3 innings into it thinking how long could I hold out on not playing some multiplayer Ghost Recon.
Pitching is a chore, batting almost as bad, graphics look like 2k3 set in "HD," camera doesn't follow ball.
There were some nice touches - crowd seemed pretty next-gen as they weren't just zombies of the past. Fluff is just fluff though when a game isn't fun to play.

Also i probably will go back to the 2k8 version seems a little to easy for me but i think if i can adjust how fast it goes then that might be a different story. I like the hitting to might love the cursor though since i loved it in 2k3. After this pitching mechanic was implemented i can never go back to button pressing, just cant.

Im a fantatic about baseball, and stoked about this game. however the ratings in the game are diffrent then screen shots, seems like every poisition player is up two player ratings overall, for example bj upton is 81 on the screenshot but 83 in the game. Which is Which?
David Price only throws 91..is this because he is a starter now..or is it wrong?
Great job, i think everyone deserves a lot of credit becasue it looks like a great game
