Ahh well...the joy of screenshots. If it makes anyone feel any better, The Show's screens were overdissected the same way

Here's hoping for a video soon

At first, I was also impressed with the look of the crowd...the "real living world" crowd. But then I decided to look at a similar shot from 2k8. Alas, the crowd looks slightly better in 2k9, but I wouldn't go as far to say the crappy looking crowds from 2k8 are gone. Nor would I say the crowd spacing problem has been addressed. Also, shouldn't the crowd in 2k9 be wearing mostly orange and black??
On a positive note, the lighting in 2k9 looks better (smoother, not washed out), but I think Roy O. is in a day game and Lincecum is in a night game so it might be deceiving.

It is some information or pictures, it is better than nothing, I know, it isn't what you wanted, but deal with it and we will be getting more soon. I think it looks alot better, now hopefully the game plays solid and we will be a happy bunch, minus those who always complain about everything.

I think the lack of self-shadowing, plus the look of the uniform, is really giving the "MVP" look, which was great last generation but isn't what we should be getting this generation.

Hopefully, all of these reductions will result in still great graphics (and not-as-obvious downgrades) and 60 FPS.

Not bad... Not bad @ all. The graphics look much tighter & cleaner. As for the crowd, In that shot it makes me think VC went the route of APF with the crowd. If they did then the crowds will look 10x better than 2k8.
Here's a APF Screen for comparison:

Here's hoping this is the beginning of a nice media push by 2k.. I also love the Lincecum's Sig Style & talk about detail, look @ the grip on the ball & the 1st baseman preparing to play defense

Some Positives about the 2 screens..
{
- I really like the player models and faces they look more athletic, and realistic
}
- Visual Concepts have always had phenomenal crowds NBA 2K8, 2K9
NHL 2K's and NFL/All-Pro 2K's. So what makes you think MLB 2K9 won't?
{
-Umpires wearing right colors, obviously better graphics
}
- It's nice to see real sponsors in the crowd, compared to the constant Cool base and majestic signs everywhere. I see Pepsi, New era ( or majestic can't quit tell) and State Farm. Giants Penants hangin over the edges of the decks.
{
- More Natural colors, 2K8 looks jacked and jagged, Framerate issues obviously
}
Negative
{
- Lack of maybe self shadowing
}
- No genreal depth of field, just clear and then an instant drop off to blur
{
- Maybe some still out of wack colors ? who knows
}
thats it

The character models look good, but they did last year too. The grass and dirt however look like the same low rez crap textures.

I thought last years models were too lanky and uncordinated and pretty bad to top it. Stiff necks that jerked all directions along with wobbly shoulder
and you had a goofy looking game hence MLB 2K8

I don't like the shoes at all. They look like dress shoes. Small complaint but whatever.
Looks pretty good, cant wait to see more! Hope the framerate is fixed and hope the game plays as well as 2k8 did (seriously, just finished a 2k8 season and it does play good despite the framerate)

The more I look at the high-res screens the more impressed I am with the overall improvement made over last year's version. I know I shouldn't be making this a priority given that we don't even know how the gameplay looks, but I wonder now that VC has taken over the game will PS3 owners finally get 1080i resolution? I'm one of those "1080i only" hdtv owners and it would pain me to know I coudn't take full advantage of the graphical fidelity.
