I think the point was the complete lack of reaction, not the specifics. There should be either boos, disgusted reactions, etc. When a HR is hit, the crowd is rarely just "ho-hum, time to get a hot dog." .

They did have the throw it back chant, but it was canned (at least it was something, I guess)

They were getting ready to boo, until the player skipped through it.

Todd Starting the game off from the stretch has me confused also.

Just so you know, the first amendment right does not apply here.

This not the place to compare this game to she Show. If someone wants to start a thread comparing the 2 games that's fine. Although I doubt it would stay open long. The next person to mention the Show in this thread gets an infraction.

Talk about the video on gamespot. That's it.

from watching this video :

1) Love the fact that harden snagged that line shot...and also ducked out the way of the other line-drive. But the pitcher fielding that shot was impressive...certainly missing from the 'other game'.

2) HRs are full of suspense......I don't know if it's just the demo for the 'other game' but even a HR that cleared the fences by like 2 seats, by the crowd reactions and announcing you know it's a goner.

Another big plus for the ambiance here for 2k....

3) in previous years pulling a ball didnt feel right and also going with the pitch....sometimes u were early and u didnt pull and vice versa...but theirot who was very late with swing went with the pitch the other way....very encouraging

If you're a lawyer you should be educated enough to realize that OS is a membership based, private site.

If what you say violates their Terms of Service (that YOU agreed to, like everyone else when you signed up) the first ammendment does not apply.

"A" for effort though

lol...gotta love the last stretch before release around here.

Anyway, all my gripes aside (no need repeating them for each video thread) the game does look like a real improvement over 2K8. If the framerate is fixed, the game plays solidly, and presentation stays at least on par with what we've seen, it should be a good step in the right direction.

Will it be enough to sell people? Depends, of course. I'm sure if you're a fan of the series or an Xbox only owner, you'll be just fine at the very least. It does give me hope for the future of the series.

I agree, it looks very good so far.

There are moments where this game excites me and others it baffles me. Did you see Soriano in the outfield side step toward the ball at the 3:43 mark. Horrible. That can't be the user. There are some major clipping issues with Ramirez at the begining.
I want this to be good. I want this to be good.
There's a fourth video up now.

The damn vids arent working for me. I just get sound and a black screen.

I think the best thing about the game as I see it are the replays. SCEA needs to take note, those replay angles were all really good.

I won't buy the game though. I've seen nothing to make me want to get it.
That was obviously a use controlled mistake.

If you watch the yankees vs redsox vid, you can get an idea of those terrible arm motion animations when the pitchers are warming up.

No, this happens in 2k8 too.You'll put your fielder right where he should be, but he just doesn't even try to catch the ball.This happens with infielders too, but with grounders.(Outfielders let balls roll between their legs sometimes too.)

It's part of the A.I comeback coding, cause after this happens, the A.I will string together a couple of legit hits, then a 3 run bomb to cap the rally off...And usually the HR comes via the A.I pulling a low and away fastball.
