After playing with the sliders even more, I am confident we will be able to tweak the AI to swing at balls inside and outside the strike zone. I'm seeing more strike 3's "looking" as well as swinging. Here is a new Major League Baseball 2K9 video, that shows a little bit of it. After capturing the video, I went ahead and took control of the Indians and mowed down the AI batters, striking out 4 of 6, before calling it a night. Enjoy.

Woop!

Pretty nice video, but I'm missing the real-time stuff when you're playing Hurry Up Baseball. I'm also liking that fielding camera less and less... it took me until the last cut scene in the video to find out that it was a night game and not an overcast game.

And is Steve Phillips Canadian? In every video I've seen, I swear that he's slipping into an accent a bit. It sounds just a wee bit different from how he sounds on TV, that's all.

Very nice video, though! Not much hit variety in the actual video, but it's nice to see the slider tweaks. I can't wait for a demo!

Nice video.

It looks like watching AI vs. AI games could be more fun this year. The game looks to play a pretty realistc game, and the camera angles are sweet!

Good to hear you have been able to tune the sliders too, that should make everyone happy.

Keep em coming...

SLOW DOWN!!!

We'd like to see the presentation as much as the game play.
Please allow the broadcast elements to play out for those considering the game!

Gary Thorne just sounds amazing on this game. Seems like Steve Phillips though is Rex Hudler-esque.
