MLB 2K9 Demo Impressions

[Leftwich]

gotta give it a shot man

Why? When The Show puts this game to shame?

[Point Blank]

I decided not to download it either..lol. I know I'm not getting it.

[Bomberooski]

I'll be downloading it on the 360. For some reason I'm still willing to let this game suck me in.

[Chrispy]

I just played, takes some time to get used to the controls but what game doesn't, Overall I liked it

i have a ps3 and will compare both games later...but im pretty sure who will be the winner

I am pretty sure every single person will know who the winner would be. I am just pleased that 2k9 seems so much better than 2k8.

[Leftwich]

Well I guess if your not a total 2k guy then you'd go for the show on ps3, I thought you had a 360

I do have a 360 but I also have a PS3. It's night and day between these games. Just to keep from being biased, I'll d/l the demo just to give it a try.

What is the comparison between 2k8 and the show. Because I believe 2k9 is light and day from 2k8 so I want to know what the comparison is between the Show and 2k8.

I'm downloading it right now, I can't wait to play. I haven't had a baseball game since the Show 2007 on my ps2.

I don't really get pitching what do you do

[Houston]

Downloading now baby

[Yawkey Way]

never mind I'm getting it now

[Houston]

I wish this demo was online, like some demo's are.

[Houston]

anyone know how to steal bases?

[celtsxpatsxsox]

For anyone who doesnt get how to pitch.
The pitching is the same just there is know more meat ball. You do the first gesture and as the circle widens you do the second gesture. You wanna get the circle as wide as possible before you do the second gesture.

For hitting
You pull back on the right stick to load and push it up to swing. The left stick is used to aim where you want to try and hit the ball.

[Hasselbeck]

Wasn't very impressed with it. Still seems to be much of the same, just a better look to it.

My biggest gripe with 2k8 was the lack of variety in hitting.. I would mainly only hit home runs and shots to the gap.. sure enough my first hit on the demo was a screamer into the gap and my next a home run.
