Why did Varitek go after a pop fly behind the plate like a Crab-Man? He never fully got out of his crouch, and just shuffled his way to the ball. What the hell was that? The commentary is horrid. And one thing that really others me is that the fans are just as bad as last year. The fans don't react to anything the right way. Why did they erupt in applause when Ellsbury flew out to RF? Why did they cheer for 2 seconds and then stop after the Lugo HR? Visually, look at the fans behind the plate, that is a total joke. Why are there bleacher seats back there? And why are people sitting 3 feet apart? It looks terrible. Just...yuk! What made me laugh was when Fuentes threw a pitch and the screen went black, the fans went silent, and all you saw was the ball and Varitek. Then they zoomed all the way in on the ball as it dashed to the plate. All with "cool" motion and blur effects combined with sound effects as Varitek swung and missed. Seriously, what the HELL was that?! Is that 2K's idea of good presentation? Instead of getting things fans want in the game, like maybe information on the freaking pitcher who was just brought into the game, that would be useful! Instead of him just appearing on the mound. Nah, "Hey, let's add this ultra-awesome sequence for strikeouts! With screen, sound, and motion effects! It'll be so awesome!" Please. Leave that arcade garbage to The Bigs.

People keep acting like this video was made from the finally build of the game and it wasnt.
This video is from a very early build of the game, alot of the things that upset you in this video will be fixed before the final build is done.

brendanrfoley........Yeah, about the bullpen management...

I can say, with relative confidence, Francona would probably leave Okajima in to face Holiday in that situation. Tito has a slow hook and Okajima is a damn good reliever.

even after Oki gave up that bomb to Holiday in last years WS game?...doubtful


paps gets the call in that situation

I don't know if this has been mentioned but if you download the higher quality video, those stutters and framerate problems aren't there... For those of you upset with the framerate...

They have posted links in "better quality" if anyone wants to download them. I cant because I am at work, but I am assuming they are in HD.
