I'm more and more excited as well. I've been guilty in the past of saying that I wasn't sure that VC could "polish this turd", but I'm looking to be proven wrong. Let's hope framerate is good, and balls/strikes/walks are good. I still have my doubts that it will be easy to throw perfect strikes again this year every time.

Oh, and great work Steve! Can't wait to see some video from you!

I really want to see this live effect they have going. The NHL 2k9 is good at it, but it is too jerky at times. So I am curios to see what they can do.

All in all i really liked what i seen, the graphics people are complaining about, if 2k7 is 10 and 2k8 is a 5 2k9 gets about a 7.5
Look at NBA 2k photos not the kg one and no super close-ups just raw gameplay they dont look that good and when you pop it in the 360 with real world and HD it looks much much better am I right?

I don't know man. I learned that Go isn't really a sentence. I just tried to look it up and I found a lot of contradicting info. Some sites said you are right others said I am. lol O well. anyway, I AM excited for this game and i will GO get it as soon as its out lol.

Trust me I am right. It is just like using a comma with and. Now some say you don't some say you do. Oh well. One thing about English grammar! It sucks! That vid has me pumped! I like what I saw and having Timmy's pitching motion. I am very PUMPED!
One more thing put a ' after your It. Blame Nem and Jim. They woke an English Major up, so now it is time to reread everything I post and help others in the mean time! lol Which is good, becasue I am going for my Masters, and I have to write a thesis, so might as well get the practice in!

I happen to like the graphics in nba 2k9. that being said, Its the constant wow factor I get everytime I play it because of the overall package...mlb 2k9 might fit in this category.For the record I love the menu system, Let hope that each players card is just like nba, click on name, Boom! stats at fingertips. Very user friendly...

OH man this thread is crazy. Keep them coming fellows. And oh yeah i like the nba2k9 menus. Graphics are good enough not 2k7 but it will do. All I care about is the framerate and the gameplay.

Good grief... what is wrong with some of you? This forum goes further downhill all the time...

Game looks very good, considering it's a new development team, they had to try and work the kinks out of someone else's code and had limited time. I'm very excited to play this.

Graphically, however, those jerseys still look terrible. Not something I'm going to get hung up on and post all over the forums but yeah, they're still noticeably bad. It's the way they sit on the player... it doesn't look believable and I know they can do better.

Hopefully they have a solid framerate and the game plays well. For some reason, I'm getting that MVP vibe with the meters (which apparently you can turn off, don't see the big deal) and seeing as MVP was such a fun game to play without sacrificing realism, I'll welcome the game with open arms.

Things are looking good!
