Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Cardinals @ Cubs Top 1st

Isn't Wrigley one of the few stadiums that plays the organ during games? Hopefully, it's just a Wrigley thing and not an every stadium thing this year. And if they are going to offer the organ, give us an option to shut it off.

One other thing that was a little concerning to me was Ludwicks double.

It looks like the centerfielder was shading him to the left and was extremely deep, but that ball was hit well to the gap and would have one hopped the fence for what should have been a stand up double, but the CF is able to get behind the ball and pick it up before it even hits the wall and throws to second for a bang-bang play.

Even with the shift they had on (CF to the left) there is nobody that could get that jump and cut that ball off before it gets to the wall.

Hopefully the shift was just more dramatic than it looked (seems when the video flashes to the OF after the hit, the CF is standing only a few feet infront of the warning track, which is weird ever with a guy with power).

It's just that easy doubles have always been fewer and father between than they should be.

I must say that the game looks much better in motion than it does with the screenshots. I like the atmosphere of the game. I noticed that there were police sirens in the background which is cool.

Are you kidding? This is what the 2k baseball series has looked like, and played like for what seems like a decade.

So far the game looks quite a bit better than last year, in terms of both graphics and presentation. Gameplay looks better too.

To be fair, it looks like a somewhat improved version of what we've seen the past 4-5 years. But the basic gameplay (when the ball is in play) itself looks very similar, and that worries me.

Did anybody notice one of the Cardinals players running back to the dugout and use the steps to get inside after the inning was over? Great touch, I hated it when they just stood there.
