DocHolliday · 02-10-2009, 07:44 AM

That sounded pretty promising. Ill wait and see though...

It sounds as though 2K is a little more encouraged by their mlb product this year....everything in that diary seemed legit..doesn't sound like they are making false claims this year about their game...I actually think 2K baseball is back.

well, no, you see after you release crap year after year, your not "back" after 2 teasers, a few pics, and a dev diary, thats stupid and not how it works.

anyway, im looking forward to gameplay vids or some ingame pics of the new presentation.

What I've seen from 2K this year is an admission that last year's game was not something that worked. They aren't going around touting extra features and gimmicks, but rather, they are talking about where things didn't work, pitching, batting and atmosphere, and they are explaining how they have polished it.

Sounds good to me.

Man I can't wait to experience that Real-Time Atmosphere. As for hitting Baa, I guess we'll have to wait til OS get their BETA to find-out if the Step Influence Slider has been removed.When I asked the dude @ gamespot about it he had no clue & actually said he couldn't find said slider.

As for trying to make the game more accessible, I can't blame 2k for trying to simplify the game. @ least he said for us vets, the game can still be challenging.

Hopefully we can get a Franchise Diary Next..

Well its good to hear that the developers are proud of the game. I would doubt a company would come out and say that if they knew it was garbage ala 2K8. March 3rd cant come soon enough!

Please, Please, Please make this game so that it works OUT OF THE BOX!!! 2K Baseball Games have been pathetic for Next Gen systems and it is ridiculous!

I admit, I have never been a 2K sports fan. I feel like the controls are loose and sloppy. I never feel like I have control over my guy. I just don't see what you spend your time on during the offseason? Your player models are horrific and the gameplay isn't great.

STEP IT UP 2K....this is your last chance for me.
