New Screens & Ratings @ Gamespot...

[bigfnjoe96]

I've had a few requests for rosters/ratings for MLB 2K9 so here we go. Below, you'll find the top ten players at each position in the game based on overall rating, plus the top twenty pitchers in the game. I've also included some in-game screenshots from the game for each of the top players at each position.

In other news, we've received the go-ahead from 2K to post more screens, so if you have things you want to see, let me know in the comments below and I'll do my best to grab them. No promises on honoring every request, however. Finally, I plan on putting up some video on Friday, so stay tuned for that.

That or it's the PS3 version.

McCann's helmet looks like it's inflatable.

[Shakedowncapo]

those player faces...absolutely terrible.

Sadly, I think this is supposed to be Angel Stadium. Again, stadiums are lacking their "feel" where, if you've seen them live or on TV, you would know that something is off with this game, its lighting, and how it captures stadiums. I'm telling you that the sun's position has a lot to do with it, but I could be the only one.





On the plus side...








You'd be very hard-pressed to find a repeat fan in this shot.

One thing I do like about the ratings is the fact that few players are 95 or above. A wider spectrum is always nice.

[DaveDQ]

Looks great.

[mrj513]

can you show some pictures of various shots of reds players and Great American Ball Park like the scoreboard

[coachpars]

The guys kinda resemble the nba 2k9 game.That is a good thing. In the basketball game each guy in some way ( to me anyway) feels like that player, I got a feeling this might be the case in this game.
