I looked at the screens some more and realized, for self shadowing Timmy is not in the proper position to generate self shadows visible for us to see. + like Neoexelor the night game effect on it all
SHADOWING the quantum realm of light can be illuminating in more senses than one. The special relationship between entangled photons of light could help us capture images of shadows being obscured on dirt textures, kinda like what we see in these screenshots.

I love how his "doctored" head does not match the skin tone or texture of his arms. Real shots please 2K, thanks.
Tired of their early bullshots. Looks just like 2K8 with some doctoring and more blur, now that I see high res shots.

A few thoughts...
-The player model looks "simplified," but in a good way. I think it's using less polygons, likely to reduce the strain on the engine
-The crowd looks much better
-Coaches/dugout players look better
-Lighting looks better, though I'm worried about the self-shadowing
-Grass texture looks flat, but it's no longer that bright green from last year
-Face and flesh tone looks fantastic
Overall, I'm excited!

Self shadowing is still in... you can see a slight shadow on Lincecum's right leg. Team XBox has a huge, massive version of the screens.. and it's clear the shadow in the leg is indeed created by the other (leg).

). Preach on though
Man, some of you guys are fired up. You would think the info everyone has been screaming for finally being slowly released would settle things down a bit...guess not. Such is life in the forums of an underperforming franchise, I guess...lol.

2k8
2k9
As was posted before, I'm not sure how the 2k9 shot isn't real. The difference in all aspects of these shots are evident. From the Player Models, Graphics & Crowds. Could the screen be "Touched-Up" of course. All companies do that, but to say it's "Fake" is being a party pooper

I loved the potential of 2K7 and tried to look past the issues with 2K8, but it was a hard thing to do. But looking at the feature list with 2K9 and now seeing just these two screens, at least there is legit hope now that they COULD deliver something pretty cool this year.
Here's what I don't understand - what is with the Show fans and the 2K fans going after each other? You go to the Show side of things and many simply mock anything 2K-related, no matter how promising some of these things sound. The Show has built up a great fan base, and they are incredibly loyal. And it is a great game. I was lucky enough to get a PS3 this year and the Show is great, and 09 looks even better. But it is as if some of these loyal Show fans go completely out of their way to try and trash whatever 2K has done or is about to do.
But this isn't like Carolina-Duke or Oklahoma-Texas, a hot-blooded NCAA rivalry. These are VIDEO GAMES. I know this is a video game site and we all have different passions in life. Everyone has their own opinions, and that's great. We all have personal preferences, in everything we buy or do for entertainment. But as consumers, we should all simply hope for the best out of both games, so we all can have a legit choice with our money this spring. 2K and SCEA releasing high-quality games are a great thing for ALL OF US. So let's see what happens. Nothing would make me, an end-user/baseball gamer, happier than having two great baseball choices to get into this March.
I just noticed something in the screensaver that we got a long time ago, and it's that the background is of an empty AT&T Park. What I also noticed is that the Coca Cola bottle is missing, which is a sign that they had yet to finish rendering the stadium.
At least this is probably an indication that stadiums were completely rebuilt, which IMO can only be a good thing.

I might be in the minority here but these screenshots do nothing for me at all. I want to see screenshots of something in game. It just feels were getting a doctored photo. Ill be happy when i see photos of the overlays and real camera angles.

You're not in the minority, but I'm happy to see something at all. I'm confident we'll see a lot more by the end of next week.

And I was also at one time, most can attest, accused for being a 2K fan and sticking up for it back before 2K8 and 08' hit.
Give it a rest, and stop crying people. Not my fault 2K bought a license and delivered poop. I can be as critical as I want, since they have YET to prove themselves. And "doctored", "touched up" or any way you want to sugar coat it photos does nothing to boost anything yet. His face tone does not match his arms. It looks out of place. The shadows that people claim are "self shadowing" are clearly photo-shopped in, because there would be a pixel indifference along the edges. There is no self shadowing in the world that clean.
And not every company doctors photos (though a lot do). 2K is known for it though on the other hand with stark differences to the final product.
I deserve the right to be critical as a gamer, and baseball fan. As much as anyone I never call out on the The Show forums are.
I can attest to Enigma being quite passionate about 2K last year.
We got into a couple of nice heated "debates"
He's no Show homer....he may love it now....but I'll tell you....if 2K delivers...he'll love that too.
Can't blame him for being a little gun shy(or anyone else)...quite a few people felt a little burned after that release last year. There was a lot of B.S. going on.
Just sayin'.

I am also glad we got to at least see SOMETHING. The shot looks great. I'm pumped to see more shots by the end of this week. I think this game will have a lot to offer. They are definitely taking a new approach to the game with the new features and announcers that I'm actually very. excited to check out this game.
