Damn Steve... you put in the work!

I absolutely love the camera options. Fantastic.

# 4 jeffy777 @ 02/12/09 05:32 PM

Batting cam looks great:

Pitching cam is good too:

Show some clips of the Angels tomorrow!I want to see if they made Howie Kendrick's stance better, and if Brandon Wood has his real face this time.Please!

These screens look way better than the poo ESPN was posting

# 7 Steve_OS @ 02/12/09 05:38 PM

No requests of anything please. Just discuss the screenshots. The time will come where I ask for requests. Enjoy.

Pic #50...Love that ESPN type pitching cam. No doubt I'll be using that.

# 9 nemesis04 @ 02/12/09 05:40 PM

The customization options with the cameras is very impressive.

# 10 duke776 @ 02/12/09 05:42 PM

Contract editor(hopefully it's in for real players too), face editor...

For being an Xbox 360 and 2009, I think the graphics are pretty weak. Maybe on an HD TV it will look much better.

I cannot believe the amount of options for the cameras, hitting and pitching. I've never seen a baseball game with so many options for what is usually considered standard camera options. The angles, the heights, it's simply amazing. Very much like the NBA 2K/CHoops 2K series.

Cannot WAIT for the demo/game videos!

Those are some good pictures man..

# 14 Fatalah @ 02/12/09 05:48 PM

Wow, the player models DO look good. You MUST answer a few questions! Framerate Framerate Framerate!

Plus, why not show some new Yankee Stadium screens?!

# 15 The Living Legend @ 02/12/09 05:51 PM

Viewing those pics Boston looks nice the lighting is not to bad, nothing really dynamic about it does the job, sky looks good one one of the shots. I am impressed about the camera angles for batting and pitching, that is awesome and it is about time they put that in a game.

# 16 SoxFan01605 @ 02/12/09 05:52 PM

Still disappointed with the visuals overall and am disappointed by what seems to be proof of no step-influence slider/option.

That said, I'm very happy about the contract editor, the "player draws walks" attribute (guess that puts our little concern earlier to bed

) and the wealth of CAP options (particularly the face editing options

).

Also, the depth of the dugouts look good and I love the camera angle possibilities. The player models look mostly very, very good at their base, it's just the lack of detail and "washed out" look of uniforms, accessories and stadiums that bug me.

I think the statistical, scouting, slider, and ratings depth will be a big plus for this game if all work well and in cohesion with eachother. Overall, I'm mostly pleased (Finally, some useful shots...good job OS

).

Now we just need some good gameplay footage and we'll be rolling. Thank goodness OS knows how to present a game...lol...a lot of questions answered (both positively and negatively) from these captures.

CUSTOMIZABLE CAMERAS FTW!!!

I can't believe they put this in the game! Amazing! I requested this feature in one of the "wishlist" threads and they implemented it exactly how I wrote i out. Sweet.

2k finally has a face editor! no more 9 generic looking faces to choose from....psyched about this, but too bad it comes when you cant play the minor league games anymore!

You can still play AAA games from what we've heard....

I didnt even notice that, ugh PLEASE oh please we dont go through this problem again. I hope the final build has it, i think that was one of the most annoying things about MLB games. Hopefully with the meter it helps things.
