Oh 2k.. why do you do this to me?

I can't stop looking at those stadiums.. I really want to see Busch!

That has never really been the case with games developed for the 2k Games moniker by VC.

Yeah i know me either. I also am in line with Pared and don't think that has ever really been in VC rep to do some sort of that.

Thanks to 2k for saving me a boatload on a PS3. Everything the article talked about has me very excited. The working scoreboards are a little thing I've wanted for years. The details about the lighting and grass sound incredible. I'm a stickler for minute details in baseball games.


Trying not to get too amped up so I'm not let down later though.

The next time we wont have to wait a few days for MLB to approve of the damned insight. Ron already has 3 more approved. they will all be dropping at the right time.

we got about 10 more insights to read.

I bought a ps3 for the Show, but I also still have an Xbox360. I'm staying with the show, but Visual Concepts looks as if they learned their lesson after last year. Although, I'm wondering about the hat models and that. The hats are pretty weird looking at the brim and stuff, hopefully they fix it, because if I want to talk to my xbox friends but still play a baseball game, I'll rent it with my blockbuster pass on long as it's somewhat good.

I wonder if this is the case. I agree, the outfield looks different. Which brings out an interesting point. In 2K9, and previous versions, there was an awful slowdown that took place when a fly ball would enter the outfield. I wonder if they are rendering less in the out field stands to keep that slowdown from happening.

It's kind of blurry, but if anyone can see does it say target field, because it looks like it says something different, but it's hard to see.
