Major League Baseball 2K9 Video: Florida @Atlanta, Red Sox @ Yankees

Here is another Major League Baseball 2K9 video. This one shows off some more hit variations and defensive plays.

Another great video - thanks! Nothing scientific about this observation, but didn't it seem like the majority of extra-base hits were to the opposite field?

Overall, however, a great variety here. I remain pleasantly surprised by 2K9.

Maybe it is just the sample shown, but it seemed most of the extra base hits went to the 2 exact places in the outfield to the wall. Could be just a coincidence.

Speaking of extra-base hits, the one at around the 3:00 mark in no way should be a triple. There was a hit just like this in the All-Star game video that gave the same reaction. It's like the base runners squirted some of that Comcast High-Speed mystery goo into their shoes. A stand up double, maybe one that requires a slide, but a triple?

Like the vast majority of the posters Steve, I appreciate you taking the time to post all these videos, but I can't help but notice more and more wrong with the game as I watch each one. Don't get me wrong, I'm noticing a lot of improvements from 2K8, but still, the flaws in the videos, as a result, are diminishing my hype for this game more and more. Anyone else feel the same?

I'm curious what difficulty the games on.

The missing frames when the pitchers release the ball is really annoying. Any chance of this being fixed?

Other than that, it's looking good.

It's been wrong the last 3 years. MVP baseball had it down perfectly.

I was also disappointed in Posada's stance. He has an open stance and comes more over the top with his elbow.
