NBA 2k9 was the same way. 2k's games need a serious overhaul in the physics and gameplay department and they aren't spending money to do that. There are the same flaws in all their games that have remained for years. That isn't going to change until they invest in a new gameplay engine. EA and Sony with the show have done this and are leaps ahead in certain areas. But the thing is 2k still does an excellent job at giving a complete package. This game looks up to par with thier other titles and will probably be better because of the extra dev time, plus baseball isnt that hard to replicate. mlb 2k8 was a joke because it was in the wrong hands and was behind the curve. This game at least looks like it's ahead of the curve when compared to other 2k games, which is a good thing. 2k is pretty much getting the most they can out of an old engine at this point. It's a good engine so I'm sure I'll find things to enjoy here and some surprises as well. They do need to overhaul certain AI, physics and gameplay aspects though and they haven't done that yet it looks like.

I absolutely agree, which is why it bothers me with both NHL2k9 and MLB2k9 where we continually heard, "built from the ground up" which really isn't the case. At any rate they've definately gotten their monies worth out of what is esentially a core engine the've been using since the 2k4 titles.

At least in MLB2k9's case the game actually does look to be majorly improved this year which is a great thing for those of us without PS3's.

I am hoping it is all real time. Meaning no fast plays. Like during foul balls. I have been waiting for a game to play everything out for so long.

Hmm Well its true that I am very excited for this game, but I don't remember substantiating anything the poster he was talking about said.

Oh well, If have not been mod like, I apologize. Just remember, I am allowed to be a fan too.

You are a GREAT MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually all the mods are great here. I sometime think it would be cool if they can close a thread without getting their 2 cents in, but like you say they are human. I like the way the game is looking. I loved 2k7 and with Big Sliders that game played amazing. But I am graphic whore and those graphics were better than this game. Maybe next year they will take it to the next level.

I appreciate the complement. I am actually playing 2k8 right now. Its not that bad post patch actually. Its making me want 2k9 even more to see how much it has improved.

Yeah it will be good. The pitching animations are top notch this year. I hate the swing animation. Mostly the guy lifting his head in weird angles.

pjv...

You are a very good mod.
I'm always in step with you.
It just seemed like you jumped on that guy a little quick...kind of threw him under the bus...when he was really just posting some valid thoughts.....all the while syf was "calling out" The Show fans. It just seemed out of place to me.(syf....give me a little latitude here please, I'm just trying to explain my thought process to pjv..thanks)
I understand what syf was saying...I just got the feeling he was being a little over the top and grouping all "The Show guys"(probably mistaken on my part I'm just trying to explain things here) and when you replied to kGin by alluding to him(and everyone else!)..that he might be a banned poster.....it just caught me off guard a bit.

I'm sorry if I was wrong...It just came off like that to me.
I agree with Scott....the mods here on O.S. are top notch and you've had your hands full.
Maybe a bit of a knee jerk comment on my part. Sorry.

Its no problem. I didn't intend to jump on him. I saw that he wrote he has been posting here for years. Looking at his join date and seeing it was dec. 08 kinda threw me off. That's why I said what I said. It really had nothing to do with the games at all.

As a mod, it is our job to be watchful for things like that.
