correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't our goal to get the most realistic representation of the sport of baseball?

And I care.

I noticed the glasses and eye black in 2k8 when I played that game, mostly while the person was batting, but sometimes in the field. I really hope they give us an option, like in 2k, for the player to be able to just wear the sun glasses in the field or just while batting.

for those of you that play on top of the line or near top of the line pcs with the money for top end graphics cards cant judge the graphics in this to any of that. we are still on our consoles still MANY generations behind what the best graphics cards on pcs can or will produce... i understand this, i see it and understand... it isnt that hard to understand... until we get to where our game consoles , no scratch that no matter how far our consoles go someone will always say that it still loooks old shcool or not real enough... well unless yoru going to pay $3000 for a game console made by Alienware you will have to deal with the less than perfect graphics when it comes to certain aspects in yoru games... as in bushes etc...

I think these screens look fantastic.

There is NOTHING in them showing any steps backwards. The textures are as crisp as they were in '08. And it appears the color pops a bit more, which to me, is an improvement.

Also, you can clearly tell the lighting and shadowing have improved. Especially the HDR lighting off the players and field from the time of day progression.

It is going to be sick graphically. 700 added animations with 400 more presentation screens. The HDR lighting more prominent due to the 'time of day' progression, and it is a winner in my book.

Personally you will NOT see a huge improvement until the new player models. But for the fact it didn't take 10 steps backwards graphically like 2K8 did from 2K7, but rather some nice steps forward is a HUGE plus for my baseball gaming.

Deja Vu part 2001 in a series of a million. Each year screen shots released same statements. And for those who say PS3 can't push textures is just silly.

I agree I think this game is going to be a marked improvement over 08 just based on the lighting and shading effects.

Just to get this straight their are going to be 700 new gameplay animations and 400 new presentation screens.....re cutscenes?
