Always back, then forward (like the old power swing).

The manual says there are 3 swing types...not sure where they got that from??

I'm liking this aerial cam! Nice suggestion.

Also, the game got A LOT smoother...

probably going to have to lower the power if using the swing stick. It was like this last year too.

Well I just got in with my copy of the game (360). Against my better judgement I went ahead and picked it up although I was a little put off by the initial impressions here.

I guess I can live with stuttering issues as long as it's not any worse than 2K7. The stuttering didn't bother me in 2K7!! I'm all about the gameplay and if the stuttering doesn't affect gameplay then I'll be happy.

In all honesty, if this game ends up being a stinker I will be done with 2K baseball for good!!!

Getting ready to fire up my first game right now. Will have impressions in a bit..........

I really didnt want to have to buy a PS3 for my baseball fix, these framerate problems are just terrible to hear about.

Well, if you recall in 2006 the Dodgers hit 4 home runs in 5 pitches...


So, are the bat sounds the same as we've seen in most videos, or do they sound more like that trailer?
