Also, shouldn't the crowd in 2k9 be wearing mostly orange and black?? On a positive note, the lighting in 2k9 looks better (smoother, not washed out), but I think Roy O. is in a day game and Lincecum is in a night game so it might be deceiving. 2k8 2k9

nice work! thats a good comparison. I think 2k9 looks better overall. I agree though the crowd looks better but i will reserve judgment for some more screens or videos but i like what i see.

Wow, now that I've seen the two compared side by side the difference is night and day (and I don't mean the time period either). The graphics looks MUCH cleaner, MUCH smoother, and the skin tones are MUCH more lifelike. The body proportions seem to have been improved by a considerable deal, and you can really see how well the crowd fills up the ballpark in the 2k9 picture. If they were able to make a buttery smooth 60fps with the same great pitching and fielding mechanics, true MVP-like zone hitting, with THOSE graphics, I'm going to be a happy camper.

It is some information or pictures, it is better than nothing, I know, it isn't what you wanted, but deal with it and we will be getting more soon. I think it looks alot better, now hopefully the game plays solid and we will be a happy bunch, minus those who always complain about everything.

I was gonna say "It looks like Arizona's uniforms, but then again they changed the color last year." The other issue is I recall them wearing black hats on the road, not purple.

Haha I think people are confusing what this "real time" aspect is about. Quite frankly, it has little (if nothing) to do with the crowd.
