It's like an entirely new game... and I'll be honest, it reminds me a LOT of my favorite series ever... MVP. - Graphics - much more crisp, clean, way better lighting, etc. I love the player models (although yes, the numbers are a little big... except on the Yankees unis?) - Sound - NO MORE ORGAN PLAYER, bat sounds, crowd/ballpark - Animations - it's like they went through and smoothed out every single animation they could find. Obviously still the OCCASIONAL strange one, but GREAT work here. Double plays, pitching, fielding, etc, all MUCH improved. I would like to see more interaction between players though - Pitching/batting - they weren't kidding that they worked on this for this year. Feels extremely tight and responsive, and is a lot of fun! - Presentation - obviously no commentary, but I'm glad they fixed the intro stuff. Very nice looking graphics leading in, and the girl sounds much better than the guy. It doesn't feel like we are getting ready for Friday Night Fights anymore, lol. I'll definitely be getting two games this year, and from the feel of this little demo, I'll be playing both a LOT... feels great to be able to say that again! Great job 2K!

I agree bro 2KSPORTS IS BACK !

They had to be back because its's an anniversary year what a way to start the anniversary with a bang...

That would be advised. Or just cancel it and try again. I'm guessing lots of people are downloading it this morning, causing a bit of slowness.

Glad to hear that the OF fielding was fixed and sounds like it won't be an HR fest like last year. I'll have to download the demo and check it out.

I really enjoyed the Demo! An upgrade in every possible way!

Ummm...why did the catcher throw to 3rd on the dropped pitch? Weren't there already 2 outs?

Nice little game..

As far as the demo

- minus no ability to change the difficulty
- also no commentary

at least there are replays though

The pitching and hitting controls seem great to me so far. I actually lost my control with my pitcher at one point was overthrowing everything and walked a batter. It's more difficult to pinpoint your spots.

batting seems equally as good. a bit easy to make contact with the contact swing, but the power swing not so much, which is the way it should be. i did hit a hr but wasn't that easy but the jury is still out.

players on the basepaths are a bit wonky. that speed up on pickoffs is definately there.

graphics look similar to 2k9. At first look i was somewhat unimpressed but the physics and collisions are much better. The animations are a bit arcadey and fast though. It is smooth at least.

overall i enjoyed my first game. Looks like we have a solid baseball game here.

What's amazing is from the gameplay video everyone talked about the graphics, but the gameplay is what impressed me here. Which is a good thing.
