I don't know how many of you guys are video game fans

but if you have an xbox you only have one choice for a baseball game and last year it really sucked.. this year looks very promising, I think the graphics and overall presenation look amazing

What's with the huge State Farm sign in CF?

Cool looking graphics, though.

Yeah, that ad looks really weird.

Otherwise the graphics are pretty cool. Strange to hear Gary Thorne’s voice.

He's on the NHL09 game too

Vast improvement over Miller and Morgan IMO. Even with Phillips doing color.

Last year

it was like a bright green color, looked artificial and thus, very fake. If it doesn’t change color, what they have now is STILL a vast improvement over last year.

Visual Concepts took over in the production of this one, and it’s supposed to be identical (presentation and gameplay) to NBA 2K9, which was VERY good. But hell, if it’s anything better than last year’s I won’t complain at all.

Very cool

But how come there are no scores on the center field scoreboard, including the Cubs-Cards score?

2K9 vs The Show 09

should be quite a battle

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

looks amazing

much better than 2k8. graphics, announcers, and everything.

well, i hope everything… the control scheme from 2k8 was confusing.

Wow, that looked so real

that I half expected Soriano to come up lame with a strained calf on that last play.

haha there is a video where the person playing defense accidently dropped a pop fly with Soriano, now that was realistic

Is it just me

or did it look like Fukudone did the Soriano hop?

While the graphics are amazing,

I for one continue to be disgusted that there is no longer an EA Sports baseball title. MVP Baseball was the shizz.

Umpire

Was that Joe West standing on first base when the ball was hit into the gap? No umpire was at 2B for the play so it had to be West, hustling as usual.

Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?

Whoa!

You can see my apartment building behind the scoreboard! Cool!
