Re: Major League Baskeball 2K9 Features List

Zone hitting is nice, but right above that was:

Influence hit – The users will be able to influence a fly ball or groundball with new controls
I hope these are either two different systems or they are saying that the zone hitting system will influence a flyball or a groundball (but seems they would have put these together if that was the case) because otherwise these two systems shouldn't work together.

Most of that list was just fluff to me-HR derby, Trophies, Reelmaker, etc.

The only things that really interests me (for good or bad) are the new hitting and pitching controls and the "quick throw" as there is nothing worse than having your player go into a slow, drawn out animation when trying to make a simple quick toss.

It would have been nice to read "NO MEATBALLS!" and something about franchise, though.

This one is laughable, though

Signature Style
  • More than 300 new signature animations, making MLB2K9 the most realistic baseball sim to date.
As if they only thing that determines a games realism is the fact that they have a players pre-bat ritual or batting stance right. Who cares that Juan Pierre can hit bombs and Johnny Damon has a cannon, as long as they move like them for a short part of the game.

How about no meatballs and a stolen base every once in a while
