Major League Baseball 2K9 Teaser Trailer #2

[brendanrfoley]

So much to say, so little time!

The atmosphere in this trailer is world's better than MLB 2K8. It just "felt" like baseball. The "real-time living world" is at work and looks awesome, as well.

Enough can't be said about Thorne either. If the commentary sounds like that in game, and holds up, we're in for a keeper.

Man, I loved it!

When it showed the view from the stands along the third base side, it actually looked like you were watching a real game of baseball.

I don't have anything bad to say about any of what I saw. Animations were excellent. Commentary sounded great, etc.

Actually there arent ads on the foul poles. It appeared that way in the video but I went through it when the video was paused and thankfully the ad was on the back of the stadium not on the wall. It was really decieving. I almost flipped **** when I saw that the ad looked like it was hanging on the foul pole.

Other than that this trailer was pretty darn good. Beckett looks way better in 2k8 than in 2k9 which I don't know how thats possible, but Pena and Longoria looked pretty good. The fans actually looked like real fans. I love how there are multicolored shirts in the stands. It's not just some pasted in crowd of all one color. I also like the little details of the fingers moving and what not.

Thorne and Phillips sound great. I know most of you guys don't like Phillips but I happen to like him for some reason. As for Thorne I've been listening to him my entire life since he announced hockey on ESPN which sadly is over. Him and Clemment were the best duo ever IMO.

I am happy to see they upgraded the Trop. I am really hoping they upgraded the Metrodome but I am thinking its a no go since the Twins are going to be in a new stadium next year. Why waste their time on upgrading a stadium that won't even be in the game next year? I would be extremely happy if they did though since I am going to be playing quite a few games their in my Franchise.

I though the same thing about the camera view. Excellent stuff.

Great, freakin' trailer!

Game is looking good. Looks rough around the edges though. Beckett doesn't respond to the ball hit and those jerseys look very "ehh."
