Yeah, the bat sounds are still bad. Thought for sure that would have been fixed. O well, I can live with it. Game looks very solid to me.

Really?!

I respectfully disagree, regarding the atmosphere.It's only footage of one-half an inning, but I feel immersed. The numerous real-time shots are amazing, although hitchy in some spots. What I really enjoy is the chattering of the fans. It has a "first-inning" feel to it, and like I said, I was immersed.

Game really does look solid...Im sure they did their best to build it back up. 360 owners seem to have a solid baseball title on the way. I'll for sure give this a look when the roster guys fix it up!

Thumbs up to the 2k crew.*

game reminds me of 2k3. batting stances and gameplay. pujols stance looks okay but different from last.

well tomorrow at 2k forums. The Devs will be answering questions. I hope someone can please bring this up about the bat sounds. What's so hard about changing the bat sounds?

that's exactly what people are saying about nhl 2k9.....3 years of horrendous performances by KUSH, last year was the first year back for VC and the gameplay got a big facelift....fell short of the finish line, but I think will have a great chance to be hockey's best game next year.

I''m hoping MLB 2k9 can rival the show this year....

but I'm big on the hitting/pitching game and that bat sounds is just a killer. The bad sound takes away the great feel of hitting if u ask me....

for example the pujols foul out, it sounded as if he got good wood on it. In the show, when you connect, you KNOW you connect by the sound.

I'm really hoping they add better sounds before release....

After watching the video again:

real time IS great as blzer said

crowd very lively

I actually LIKE the organs.....

The in between pitch is really sweet with Zambrano and his mannerisms

I didn;t like how Zambrano fielded that pop up in the infield though...

I really dig the double....and the whole angle of the play while ball in mid air...nice touch.

2k.....PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....FIX THE BAT SOUND

The running aniamtions need some work as well. They seemed robotic. If they can smooth them out a bit, that would be great. This is the first attemp for VC at baseball and it looks way better then last years. Looks like ill be having 2 baseball games this year.

[videobastard]

The commentary is alive this year... but i dont understand how they cant fix the bat sounds. It seems like it would be something basic to do. Some of the animations still have a robotic look to them which makes this game not as fluid as the other baseball title.

Is the bat sound that serious????, does it affect the gameplay or does it throw you off when you hit the ball. I know it make you ears bleed so bad you have to the go to the emergency room right.

It does effect gameplay, because it sounds unnatural, and sounds like you hit moonshots with a piece of bamboo. So when you hear it all the time for a liner, a grounder, a foul, a tip or a pop-up, just feels,well again, arcady.
