Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: A's @ Mariners

Sheesh!

I'm definitely going to be fooling around with some of the camera angles til I find just the right one. This game is shaping up pretty well.

"crosses fingers" If there are no terrible bugs in this game it could very well be a sleeper hit.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: A's @ Mariners

This game looks like a complete package and is going to be loads of fun. Still not seeing any plate discipline or patience at the plate though or realistic batting sequences.... They really should add a plate discipline rating to each player and have that effect how a player approaches an at bat. So each player plays true to life. I wish they could do this by release time. That would make this game a dream come true.

Nice video, game seemed to run smooth and we saw some week grounders which was a positive. Still dont like the fact that one of this generation's greatest hitters Griffey Jr. was showing no plate discipline but I hope that can be fixed with sliders.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: A's @ Mariners

This video seemed to be not set on the "quick play" setting. I loved how the camera angles show Griffey in mid pre-swing routine, the camera shifts back and he is still getting ready, and then the pitching camera shows him getting set-without the animation snap we saw in the earlier builds. The crowd was chanting at the right time to get him to do something, and those weak grounders sure looked like the result of being out in front of those off speed pitches...

Shaping up nicely. I would like to see a 3-4 inning video(s) or at least once through the lineup for both teams. Flow is very important in baseball, and it would be nice to see some longer videos.

Yeah, that's one animation I could do without -- the off-balance rushed throw for no reason only for it loop over to first...

I said it before, but the game looks good, and I'm not just talking graphics/animations. From what we've seen it just seems to have a 'baseball feel' to it, but that could be wasted if the gameplay nuances like plate discipline, smart AI baserunning and lineup/bullpen management aren't there to support it. Not saying they won't be, but those are the things that would cause me to stop playing...

Re: Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: A's @ Mariners

I think this is the best video yet, the animations looked great.
Anyone notice the lack of organ? i think it played once after the play was over and that was it. Also the crowd chants was very nice and if you listened to the bat sounds they were pretty much spot on. Very good video.
