pistonj92 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have a PS3 and I bought 2k7 for PS3, then returned it and later bought 07 the Show. Then in 2008, I bought 2k8, and I never play it. There is no way in hell I am buying 2k baseball this year. 2k9 to me is like the Republican party in 2008, not happening after W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanzarelli Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 How much are PS3s in America? I'm trying to work out whether it will be cheaper for me to get it here or when i come over in April. 80GB = $399 160GB = $499 If the rumors are true, then in April it'll be... 80GB = $299 160GB = $399 Also by waiting to come to the states, you wouldn't have to pay outrageous shipping charges to the UK.

rookie_rick Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 As it stands it is cheaper to buy one from here but if the prices do go down as the rumors suggest in time for me coming over then it will be about £60 cheaper to get one from over there.

el_jefe061 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 2k always had weird movement mechanics, but these screenshots are a huge leap over last year. It also looks, judging by the Lincecum picture, that the pitching mechanics are improved. Beckett looks a lot like Jesus from Family Guy, but partially because he's not nearly as fat in that picture as he is in real life. 2k8 was about halfway there to being a decent game. The gameplay, with the exception of the framerate, was largely improved over the year before. The graphics were a heavy downgrade, but if they were back to 2k7 levels, it'd be much better (We all forget that those were some pretty quality graphics). The roster editing was a pain, but that was easily fixable. This is all on top of the fact that Visual Concepts, the team behind the exceptional NBA games, is behind this game. Whether or not that translates to baseball will be seen. Count me in as someone who is going to buy a PS3 for the Show (and Blu-Ray). However, 2k9 should be a pretty decent game. Not the Show or MVP good, but a pretty fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean O Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So who are those people supposed to be? Is that Jesus pitching for the Red Sox? Jesus doesn't have blister or shoulder problems, and probably isn't a giant douche. That's Josh Beckett, who has those 3 qualities in full.

arod914 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 IGN Hands On I noticed this in the last paragraph of the first page: "...and pitches that are identifiable thanks to a flash of color as they cross the plate.

wrigleyville33 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 GAMESPY: Like last year, 2K Sports is boasting a framerate of 60 frames per second for its lead baseball sim. Also like last year, MLB 2K9 didn’t back up that promise — at least in the demo we saw. As the camera panned across the field before the first game started the view was rather choppy, the playing field lacked the texture we would expect from a new baseball title, and facial renderings weren’t extremely accurate. I honestly lmao at that. This game is going to be another slate of garbage just like last year. I encourage people NOT to buy it. The less successful this game does in sales, the better. I've bought 2k7 and 2k8. I played both for a month and a half, then shelved it for dust. Seriously, I don't care if it's the only baseball game for 360, don't waste the money and don't buy it!

JP_Frost Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 is there anyway that 2K can lose its license because of the quality of the game, or would sales be the only reason for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i dont know, mlb could end the license early if they wanted to, but that would probably result in a buyout of somesort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i dont know, mlb could end the license early if they wanted to, but that would probably result in a buyout of somesort. I remember reading somewhere that MLB insisted on quality since EA's efforts were so well received. It's probably just a pipe dream, but if the game gets lousy reviews and the sales dissapoint, then maybe MLB feels obliged to revoke 2K's license and will let other parties bid. That still doesn't mean that EA would make another baseball game for the PC since they also stopped making NBA Live and I believe Madden for that platform. Anyway, let's hope something good comes out of 2K's crappiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Considering MLB would call MLB.TV a quality product, I don't imagine their expectations for "quality" to be too demanding. I'd call having your arms ripped out of the sockets after having them nailed to a piece of wood and suspended in air a 'shoulder problem'. I laughed out loud at work when reading this, as well as Sean's comment. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 They can't even get the uniforms right. Look at the size of the sox logo on the hat and the straightness off gordon's script on the back. WHAT A JOKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/majorle...-teaser-trailer first video. game play is from 360 not wii, it was mislabeled. Watch the video all the way to the end. You will see the pc label there. Guys, I think this is coming out for the pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 That's not bad then. Despite the game looking really bad Well i'm playing Front Office Manager so it will be a massive improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDudleyDoWright Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yup, looks like it's coming out for PC. BTW, i hope thats how the actual gameplay is, or it's a PS3 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I still think i'm getting a PS3 opposed to a new 360. I can then be the nice boyfriend and let my girlfriends little brother play on it as well as having baseball games at both places :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
