Major League Baseball 2K9 Screenshots

I sort of like them and sort of don't. I also noticed that they sort of have the plastic type look. But, as long as this game runs at 60 FPS I'll try it out.

By the way... I think it's been mentioned already, but the guy leaning over the dugout railing with the glasses is a dead ringer for Joe Torre.

I blew up the picture, so you can kind of make it out...

What I'm saying is that you are coming in here and saying that the beauty of in-game visuals have no appeal if the game plays like garbage. Unfortunately, we have no evidence of how the game plays, so meanwhile we can only say how the game looks at this point. I don't know where you're getting off implicating the game's potential disastrous play in a screen shot thread, especially when this is the first real bit of evidential media that we can at least judge or compare to The Show.

The first info released was just talk, these are just screen shots. Next will just be a video tease. Until we get some real gameplay footage or have this game in our hands, it will be very difficult to be able to make comments about why a game's graphics are irrelevant when compared to its core mechanics.

And it's funny that you said the last thing you said to me, because if you asked everyone around here, I would probably be the first person to actually do something like that.

Yeah I said it, and I stand by that statement. Their uniforms still look purplish, though.

hahahah. Anyway, it's no biggie. I have a 360, loved MVP, and have become angry at the lack of choice a la the 2k Football fans. I feel like I'm in an arranged marriage.

Discuss the screenshots, nothing else.

I was just clarifying. I thought the pics looked good overall. I payed less attention to the crowd (as it was too hard to gather enough from it, IMO) and more to the "living ballpark" type stuff like the full dugout and bullpen.

Not that I could tell anything about the overall quality from that either...lol...but I like the fact that they were there. hopefully we'll see this game in motion soon and see how all of this stuff works together.
