They alluded to the WS in the pregame but this was not a world series game. There was no mention of it by the announcers after during of before the geame, the menu would have a playoff logo or say something like game 3 of world series(last years did). To me it was just an example of dumb cpu AI

Lots of Whiny Nitpickers here...

IMO the gameplay looks solid, animations are great...I'm not crazy about the downgrade in graphics but then again I'm a certified graphics whore...But after last years gameplay debacles I'll take gameplay over graphics in a heartbeat.

I'm seeing far more good than bad with the animations, pitching/batting interface. Guess work seems to be over when at the plate, far more animations seem to be in the game. The cut scenes seem far more varied etc. You guys are killing me complaining about bat sounds, crouched stances and some of the other ridiculous complaints that seem to dominate these boards.

I'll be playing this and THE SHOW and will be enjoying them both...Its not about which one is better..Its about will you enjoy both...

Why does it look like the pitch slows down and then disappears when it gets close to crossing home plate? Is that a frame rate issue or something? It seems like everything is choppy as far as pitches approaching home plate.

There was another "choppy" incident I noticed where the pitcher was backing up 3rd base (I think it was in the 2nd or 3rd inning) and it looked like he skated all the way across the diamond and took only 2 or 3 steps.. the rest of the time he glided in a herky, jerky motion.

What is up with all the choppiness?

God I hope so.. pitching looks way too easy.

no offense oldschool but you have the option of playing The Show. At the end of the day 360 owners are stuck with this game for better or worse. Tiny nitpick to you are basic things which 2K should be delivering n. Mine are a lot of the player animations, cpu AI putting in Paps in the 8th. Morgan and Miller, crowd, bat sounds, he seemed to locate fairly easily, and other little things like how every homer is a moon shot or jut over the wall

How anyone can make a comment about the graphics from these videos amazes me. They are highly compressed and viewed in non-HD on the web. If they were in black and white i wouldn't care.

View these only as gameplay videos of a non-final build.
