Major League Baseball 2K9 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[NEWYORICAN]

I'm one of those guys that was very dissapointed in 2K last year with 2K8, that game was pure garbage..really..especially after their 2K7 BB game that had a good future..2K7 was a well made and fun game.

I have to admit, I'm liking 2K9...not for the graphics, but the game play. Like someone here said, the game controls are tighter then 2K8's StreetFighter controls.

And yes, I did see the CPU get called on strikes a few times.

So, the funfactor is there with 2K9 and we haven't seen what the new Franchise engine will be like. That's where they really worked on for this year!..so there is hope!!


peace

Enjoy the presentation. Graphics look good...

Pitching and batting controls are much improved. Baserunning controls not so much. The AI keeps swinging at everything in the zone..not good. AI really needs to be tweaked... fielding controls are pretty clunky.

The rainbow throw from 2nd to 1st on the double play is STILL in the game.

A rental for me.

Sorry, but it is not there. A message from MS says "content not available, please try again later."

And me

One of the bigger positives IMO.

I believe the PC version will be the one to get. I like the anouncing in this game Gary Thorne and Steve Phillips did a great job. It does sound like an ESPN broadcast!!

I think they took a lot out for the demo, we are not seeing all of the game, no replay, no options....so really, it is hard to judge this demo right now.
