Twice the frames makes it ten times smoother!?! Those are some good frames.

LOL. I realized I should have said "twice" as smooth as soon as I posted.

And no, Steve's videos aren't the ones encoded at 60fps. The GCHD videos are.

I liked the Vids at GHCD much better and compared to 2k8 anything would be an improvement .
I think the real life is nice but will ps3 have frame rate problems again if so will there be support ? can anyone confirm this ? thanks .
Overall it looks fine but I played alot 2k7 and it looks the same to me which isnt a bad thing I guess

You have got to be kidding. Ludwick slugged 37 homeruns and was an all-star last year, but no new stance and his been in the like for more than 4 years! Albert's stance is okay, alittle better than last year's. And even though i despise the cubs, they should haved a theriot stance {bottom of the first video}. And why the heck is Ludwick batting 2nd?

After watching the clips...The ground friction of the baseball STILL rearing it's ugly head w/ this series. the field dimensions are STILL inaccurate. they're too damn small. the ball gets to the wall waay too fast.

Things i'm diggin' are the real-time camera switches...OFF THE CHARTS...LOVE 'EM sig styles...that's about it. hopefully this game has came a long way since the clips, & the PS3 version is on par...of close to the 360.

That's the same sound effect they've been using for 3+ yrs. After watching the videos a few more times. The only real bright spots IMO are the new camera angles & the real time world. Some dire changes are surely on the way for 2K10.

Ditto on that. I'm not sure those new cameras angles are enough to warrant a purchase, but they look real nice

I think I'm the only one impressed by this, but that might be because I thought 2k8 was a pretty good game.
