Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: A's @ Mariners

Man, I love that video. On the lolipops to second, he was to close to zip it. From a person that plays second base in myself, if i'm that close, I throw them lolipop over there.

Great video..Would've love to see Griffey son smash one. Oh and that look just like Griffey

Griffey could never smash one off duke. Duke had 17 straight retired batters in that game, he was on a freaking roll.

Great Vid!! Now are we going to see posts saying that there were too many groundballs and not enough flyballs?

Not saying they won't be, but those are the things that would cause me to stop playing...

Those "lolipops" were in last year's game. On several occasions, I'd think it wouldn't make it to first on time but they did. I'm not crazy about hose either.

I agree though. The game looks to have greatly improved.

If you think these new animations and graphics are dope say aye!

Im happy that the players actually throw it around the horn instead of the shortstop doing a phantom throw to the second baseman and then it cuts to the batter.

Ugh, Griffey's stance is still terrible. Has been the same since 2K7. Why on earth did they change it? 2K5 had the stance down perfect.

And is it just me, or does the CPU have trouble hitting breaking balls?

Someone else made a thread about that actually..
