These no-doubter camera pans need to be in regular games just like they used to be when 2k ruled the scene.

Another video, thanks. The introduction looked great as did the homers.

# 4 Eddie1967 @ 02/15/09 06:33 PM

Great video, loved the introductions.

Only problem I see is that when Pujols was announced, there was no reaction from the crowd. I mean, seriously? Yeah not everyone there is a Cardinals fan, but come on! That's his home crowd!

I wish Thorne was there doing some announcing. I always loved All Star Baseball's home run derby and Brennaman announcing. He was even the one that noted the distance instead of it being on screen. I loved it.

Well, That's nice..Like how the home run derby ws introduce

Busch Stadium and the backdrop of downtown St. Louis look great.

I rented 2k8 last year and thought it blew, especially graphically. For those that still play 2k7, is 2k9 a big improvement graphically, because it looks great.

i hope to god they didnt sim half a season to get into this HR Derby. Everyone was on Par to break the HR record or come close to it. The lest amount was 34 HR's

They need to program steroid testing into the game. Hopefully they'll include that in 2k10.

Those were last years HR totals.

Did a video game ever consider simming sliders?

# 14 CarryTheWeight @ 02/16/09 08:27 PM

Why is there a State Farm bug in the lower third? That's ridiculous.

Other than that, it's cool they have a unique presentation for HRD, not that many games give the Derby a different feel.

What I don't get is In the HRD Ryan Howard Hit a bomb and it bounced off the wall and back into the seats. Now in a previous video (At Coors Field I Believe) A Yankee player hit a homer and it bounced off the ground and went through a wall. How does that make sense? LOL
