It's something about these baseball games. They just look a lot better on outdoor stadiums. The graphics look better on day games. I'm hopeing it plays really smooth that's all and the graphics already look better then 2k8 so that's good also.

I agree the graphics are not the greatest, but the broadcast shot they show after Longoria fouls off the pitch is probably the most realistic looking clip in a video game I've ever seen(not exagerrating). The lighting, models, and movement of the player just looks crazy real. With that being said, I still dont like how other aspects of the game look ( most notably faces and jerseys/caps.

I like the commentary from gary thorne. He brings excitement the way he calls games. I did not like how the bat sounded on the homerun though. It still has that weird cannon sound.

Thornie's great!

Nice trailer...

I hate to deviate from the norm, but thus far, I am not too impressed. Yeah, Gary Thorne is a much-welcomed change from Jon Miller and sounds pretty good, but nothing about the teaser really made me say "Wow." Graphics looked decent ... nothing special. Jerseys looked pretty bad (Boston's missing the red trimming). Animations looked OK. HR crack of bat sounded unrealistic. And crowd noise, while louder than its been, could still be improved! I hate being able to hear individual clapping after a HR. There should be hooting and hollering and whistling and such -- get loud! I can hear a little bit of it, but 2K should be striving for the HR excitement that The Show is seemingly creating.

I see a lot of "MVP 2005" in this game. Just little animations that look similar.

Sorry but you do know that those ARE Boston's new road uniforms for this year right? No more red trim...

It's kind of tough reading through the comments. Why? They're actually positive. This is weird. It's really weird.

Ok, fine, I'm impressed too! I'm really itching for some gameplay footage though...and some impressions from a hardcore sports gamer.

OS doesn't get any respect, I tell ya!
