Major League Baseball 2K9 Review

[porkchop]

Thanks for your honest review. I also feel that they made some steps back with gameplay. I hope that VC gets the title back to the former glory of the series, but in all honesty I'm starting to become more and more pessimistic that will happen.

Nice review, fair and well-stated.

My only disagreement is in the statement that all outfielders have about the same speed. I sugest that the reviewer try to play with the Pirates with Eric Hinske in LF. The guy has all the speed and grace of a disabled 3-toed sloth; he's wayyyyy slower than my other outfielders. I haven't played with Manny, so he may be right about him.

Good review. I don't agree with some of the points, but that's fine. Again, my perspective comes having not played any new baseball game since MVP 05, so if, like you started with, you're expecting the culmination of a three year project, I can see the disappointment. I'm still excited for the game and will still enjoy it. Hopefully this will be an actual foundation for years to come.

pretty sure the minimum for an online league is four people.

you also have to wonder if they would have messed around with "three year project" stuff if they weren't guaranteed a certain amount of sales just by being the only baseball game on the two best selling next-gen consoles.

Thanks Z.

Can anyone confirm whether or not you can hire/fire coaches?...Either at all or mid-season.
