I agree, it looks very good so far.

There are moments where this game excites me and others it baffles me. Did you see Soriano in the outfield side step toward the ball at the 3:43 mark. Horrible. That can't be the user. There are some major clipping issues with Ramirez at the begining.
I want this to be good. I want this to be good.
There's a fourth video up now.

The damn vids arent working for me. I just get sound and a black screen.

I think the worst thing about the video was the Soriano miss early in the video. That right there is game killing. He was standing right there and never attempted to catch the ball.

I think the best thing about the game as I see it are the replays. SCEA needs to take note, those replay angles were all really good.

I won't buy the game though. I've seen nothing to make me want to get it.

That was obviously a use controlled mistake.

If you watch the yankees vs redsox vid, you can get an idea of those terrible arm motion animations when the pitchers are warming up.

No, this happens in 2k8 too.You'll put your fielder right where he should be, but he just doesn't even try to catch the ball.This happens with infielders too, but with grounders.(Outfielders let balls roll between their legs sometimes too.)

It's part of the A.I comeback coding, cause after this happens, the A.I will string together a couple of legit hits, then a 3 run bomb to cap the rally off...And usually the HR comes via the A.I pulling a low and away fastball.

Yeah, it was a pain sometimes. Hopefully some of these repeat issues we see are due to the earlier build they're playing. I dunno.

Also in the Sox/Yanks video, no rollcall in Yankee stadium I see. and the animations still drive me nutty sometimes.

This game is just kinda all over the place for me. I can clearly see the improvements in areas, but some things just bug me.
