Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Rays @ Phillies In Game Injury

Holy moly!

Did I just see a looping, gap shot double where the ball stopped before reaching the wall. In a 2K baseball game? Nice!

Yeah, I would suspect there would be slides to remedy this.

The jump looked strange but other than that everything looked nice.

This game has massive potential. The real time thing, Thorne's playcalling, etc. is just truly amazing. But like I said earlier, it may be a game killer for some if the CPU swings at everything in the strike zone. If there is a slider to combat this, looks like I'm getting 2 games this year.

Looks like this game is going to give The Show a run for the money this time.

Wow! Looking better every day! Wasn't thrilled with how fast Kazmir got-up after being injured, or the batboy walking through the batter, but that's about it! Everything else looks really good.
Now I'm really on the fence.

I can deal with the weird injury reaction stuff...but the CPU needs to take strikes in this game...must be fixed for game release, if not, hopefully sliders can do something.

Nice vid. Like everyone else has mentioned, dont like that the CPU hacks at everything close, also dont like that the camera follows the ball on a basic foul ball behind the catcher. Other than that it looks good.
