It's not even a "light versus dark" issue, there are some colors that simply aren't correct. The Phillies' red in this game is almost a burgundy, it's that off.

Yup. It was the same for the Red Sox in 2K8 (burgundy reds) and their "new" Blue alternates in 2K9 were too light. Looked awful. The bright side for PC users at least, is the uniforms are pretty easy to edit and a slew of fixes got posted for 2K9 within a month or so of release. Still...it shouldn't come down to that and console players are obviously stuck.

Well that stinks. Would be getting this on the PC anyhow, but in general, not cool.

for us xbox 360 users, we have no other MLB to get, so we have to look towards this one

Why? Middle inn and thigh high.. That pitch should be crushed.

Looks good so far. Would be nice to get MLB 2K on the same level as NBA 2K.

Off the end of the bat (yes, that's the end and not the fat part) and hitting the top third of the ball. That shouldn't be lifted or crushed.

That's what I mean... despite the pitch location or what have you, they have had issues having the ball hit the bat in the right place. Ugh, I remember WSB 2K3 have the most awkward looking contact on replays.

We will just have to wait for game-play videos.

You do realize that hitting down on the ball does not = ground ball all the time right? Hitting down on the ball creates backspin and backspin means the ball will carry a lot further than one struck on an up swing ( unless you are ridiculously powerful ). Why do you think Sheffield has hit tons of line drive homers?

And no that isnt off the end of the bat. Thats right on the edge of the sweet spot. Depite popular belief the sweet spot is NOT in the middle of the barrel.

Move along mr pretend baseball pro.
