Major League Baseball 2K9 Beta Screenshots (2-12-09)

Looks great, love the slider options, especially for hitting -- although I didn't see a step influence slider, hmm. Also, no fielder arm/throw strength slider. Given that's been a major issue with this series for years, I'm worried about that omission. But very niiice.

Viewing those pics Boston looks nice the lighting is not to bad, nothing really dynamic about it does the job, sky looks good one one of the shots. I am impressed about the camera angles for batting and pitching, that is awesome and it is about time they put that in a game.

Still disappointed with the visuals overall and am disappointed by what seems to be proof of no step-influence slider/option.

That said, I'm very happy about the contract editor, the "player draws walks" attribute (guess that puts our little concern earlier to bed) and the wealth of CAP options (particularly the face editing options).

Also, the depth of the dugouts look good and I love the camera angle possibilities. The player models look mostly very, very good at their base, it's just the lack of detail and "washed out" look of uniforms, accessories and stadiums that bug me.

I think the statistical, scouting, slider, and ratings depth will be a big plus for this game if all work well and in cohesion with eachother. Overall, I'm mostly pleased (Finally, some useful shots...good job OS).

Now we just need some good gameplay footage and we'll be rolling. Thank goodness OS knows how to present a game...lol...a lot of questions answered (both positively and negatively) from these captures.

CUSTOMIZABLE CAMERAS FTW!!!

I can't believe they put this in the game! Amazing! I requested this feature in one of the "wishlist" threads and they implemented it exactly how I wrote i out. Sweet.

2k finally has a face editor! no more 9 generic looking faces to choose from....psyched about this, but too bad it comes when you cant play the minor league games anymore!

You can still play AAA games from what we've heard....

I didnt even notice that, ugh PLEASE oh please we dont go through this problem again. I hope the final build has it, i think that was one of the most annoying things about MLB games. Hopefully with the meter it helps things.

True, but it will be nice to get some realistic mugs for those lower minors prospects for when they get called up.

The CAP customization is a HUGE plus for me.
