not quite sure what you mean, They simplified the pitching controls made it 2 steps instead of last years 3 step process
All that zone hitting is just another style of hitting it can be toggled on/off in menu
Swing stick is improved, hit influence is just whether you want to try to hit a fly ball or grounder.
Tell me what you mean?

that would be awesome! does it update roster pictures also? this would come in handy for some midseason roster moves and call ups

I'm not sure what you mean here. Simple isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. The Show and Power Pros both offer "simple" control interfaces that offer a great deal of depth.

Care to elaborate?

Do you guys think this game will play well on the PS3. I have both consoles, but would like to get this for only one of them. Not sure if this is where i should ask this question.

Generally speaking, the multiplatforms tend to be better on 360. The 2K baseball games have been a shining example of that...lol. Plus last year, as I recall, there was no support for 2K8 on PS3 while the 360 got it's fixes (to a degree of course).

Now, if you'd just prefer it on the PS3 (some do, for controls or console stability for example) then you might be best served waiting it out to see how the reviews compare and go from athere. Just keep last year's patch debacle in the back of your mind.

Thanks for your help. I had 2K8 for the 360 and after the patch it played alright, then when i got my PS3 I bought it for that and was not happy so I will wait it out and keep reading this fourm to see how you guys like it, i learn alot from the serious gamers on this site, you guys really help alot.

I wish this had some kind of career mode like in mlb the show

2k share and living rosters will be a big plus. I'm a show guy all the way, but I have hopes for 2k9 this year.
