Major League Baseball 2K9 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[dorismary]

Do to their prior history in these and many other issues I wouldnt touch it until somebody plays it online and especially for the ps3 !
Plus they doctored some screens last year also

Glad I bought a used PS2 to get The Show in case this game is a flop like 2k8. VC does great work with the NBA series, but there may have been too much to fix to save this game in time.

The batting camera has been lowered and now sits directly behind the batter. No angle, no tilt; just straight-on right behind your main point of interest.

I have been asking for this since forever! This will allow you to be smarter at the plate and be able to read pitches better. I always hated that angle they switched too when you were a RH batter facing a RH pitcher or v-versa.

Everyone is talking about how horrible the framerate was in 2k8 but I thought I rememberd if you did some stuff like turn off the live ticker at the bottom as well as those horrible in game replays combined with the patch they released that the framerate was not a huge problem anymore. I found the meatballs and the awful batting mechanic to be the biggest problems.

I gotta think even if they fix the framerate a little bit combined with the ability to install the game to the HDD that it should run pretty smooth.

Mercury I can understand where your coming from, but the truth is we shouldn't have to be jumping thru hoops in order to get this game to run smoothly OTB.

If you can't lock 60fps, then you shoot for 30fps & move-on from there.

The framerate in 2K8 was far from smooth, but I never found it to be quite the problem others did. I think it's all an issue of preference.

If 2K9's framerate is better, I'll be happy. If it's the same, I'll be disappointed. If it's worse, I'll be pissed.

I came from another thread--- do we really have a contact from VC assuring us about the framerate?

Where is this guy? Where's his quote? I will not shell out $60 bucks for another game of glue. Sorry. This year is a total "wait and see" year for MLB2K9. I'm not going to get screwed again.
