Just make sure you don't take their statement as we'll actually see blades of grass grow if we zoom in close enough for a long period of time. What it means is that it is all one constant stream, as opposed to being split by pitch, or by batter, or by inning, or whatever it may be. We should be able to watch our favorite player enter the dugout and sit down after a home run, they may even run out for the celebration after a walkoff, I don't know. But basically, cut scenes are part of the same game that we're playing, only that we don't control them and they are with different camera angles.

Again, I hope that makes sense.
Yeah, I know what you mean and no, I'm not looking for blades of grass or anything. I've never been one to get caught up too much in a baseball game's details anyway (I played HH2004 for several years, after all!). The fact that the other game has so much of them is just the icing on the cake of the great gameplay to me(not without its faults, though). Don't sweat it - just a little misunderstanding.

If this real-time thing lives up to what they're promising, it's a shame that most of it will just be skipped through by a lot of people.

I'm hoping this real time thing extends to real time scoreboards A LA ASB 2005!

Re: Major League Baskeball 2K9 Features List

This may be a dumb question, but could someone explain what Zone Hitting actually is?

If this game plays a decent game of baseball and does indeed have true zone hitting I'll at least give it a try.

That's all I ask.
Exactly! If the pitch is in a location that no matter what it physically could never be hit in the air in "real life" and yet I "influence" it to the air then we have a problem. Also is it true zone hitting or like the Shows zone hitting?

Re: Major League Baskeball 2K9 Features List

Lets all just hope they execute the things well. It is one thing to swoon us with a list. It is another to have poor, choppy, and glitchy executions of said things.

Just like, I can care less if players come in and out of dugouts/bullpens, or vendors walk the isles, if the crowd sits 3 seats apart just to achieve a desirable framerate.

Just an example.

Man if something like your example is in the game, that would be the nuts.

Re: Major League Baskeball 2K9 Features List

Well, this is the first year since the NFL licensing agreement that I got fed up with the crap Madden was selling and went back to the basics and played only 2k5.

I have been a very loyal 2k fan (back to the World Series Baseball games) but this list is not even close to what I'm looking for in a baseball game. Therefore it may be back to the basics again and instead of buying a PS3 just for The Show, I think I'll end up picking it up for the PS2. Just like Madden, 2K baseball just isn't worth buying anymore, simple as that.
