The fact that they have previewed the game and there's STILL a "not -hot" about this is concerning..

Meaning they wouldn't have mentioned it IF it hadn't been and issue. Unless I'm wrong to see that chris hasn't seen it?

When Chris previewed the game it was still being finished. Optimization (Getting the game to run smoothly) is always the last thing done. Andrew Reiner from Game Informer has said the game is running very smoothly as he had a finished copy during his running blog of the game @ GI.

ahh, your assuming. I always loved that quote from Under Seige 2. "Assumptions are the mother of all f ups"

I dont expect the framerate to be a solid 60 at all times, but as long as it doesnt slow down like it did when you hit pop flies in 2K9 towards the foul lines then its fine.

There will always be periods of times where that slows down, but as long as it doesnt dip into a slide show then all should be well.

hmmmm, I thought the online play was very good last year. The lag wasn't bad at all, and playing online actually bypassed alot of the game's problems (such as the AI issues).

2K8 on the other hand was simply unplayable online. But 2K9's multiplayer was like night and day compared to 2K8.

A few things to keep in mind for those wanting to jump to conclusions:

1)I simply submit the articles, I rarely write Previews/Reviews anymore as I typically stick to my blog here on OS, which I post at least a few times a week.

2)Hot or Not articles are simply used as a summation of the info we have, be it from hands on previews, other previews, etc. So the first item was merely a reflection on the point that we have thought MLB 2K looked to be turning the corner in the past and it's disappointed immensely. So it's more of a, don't believe the hype kind of mentality.

With that said, hopefully MLB 2K10 turns out to be rather good
