Kayxero Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Quick off topic question. Should I get a ps3 with the show and 2k9 and see which I like better. Seeing as no game stores around here have demos up. Or get a newer system and go with 2k9 and mods. I have much faith in mods making this game great and the fielding and baserunning in the show leaves a sour taste in my mouth from last year. Plus I do hear that 2k9 looks great on pc compared to next gen systems. But what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If it were me...I would go with the new PC hands down..Just for 2K9 and all the great mods, plus all the other great games on the PC you can play...I just think your money will go alot farther on a new PC..Just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does than upgrade the ram or Video card. This way U don't have to get a new system. If U have to get a new system make sure it have a blu ray rom. Since future game may require blu ray disc. The mod will use your system to the fullest so the more powerful system the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ok, I'm finally getting a chance to play a complete game. Obviously very different from MVP, but without touching a single slider I'm actually having a pretty decent game now that I somewhat have the controls figured out. Again (on Pro level) without touching any sliders the hitting seems to be pretty simple. Here Garrett Atkins hits a double deep into the right field corner at Corrs: Pitching is getting easier. Again, extremely different but something I can definitely get used to. Still shaky, but somewhat effective. Francis here with his 4th strikeout midway through the 6th: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Nice screens JR. For your pitching, are you using Breakpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 As far as fielding goes, it doesn't seem to be that difficult either. The outfielders are a little slow getting to the ball, but again, I haven't touched a single slider and so far nothing out of the ordinary has taken place. Granted, this is my first complete game but I've messed with it for a couple of days now. Nowhere near perfect, but the more I play, the more solid it's becoming. So far the numbers seems solid. I'll keep reporting as I start tweaking the sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Nice screens JR. For your pitching, are you using Breakpoint? Sure am, Rob. I'm liking it. On Pro Level (without tweaking) the pitches seem to be way too slow, but the breaks are nice and fluid in the pitches. I love "aiming" at the guys back hip and watching it break across his entire body and onto the plate. Not perfect yet, but cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolie Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 yeah I got used to the pitching also, not many balls in the dirt. I get close games sometimes but there will be a couple defensive routines balls that get messed up. Kinda ruins the mood at the time and I just quit game. PLaying a nice tight game and all the sudden a gold glover bobbles the game away for an inside the park homerun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Afer a huge offensive in the 7th and going into the 9th, I've done a decent job on the defensive end despite the slow outfielders. As I said, without any tweaks, it doesn't seem like a train wreck quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished my first complete game, and I didn't notice anything that makes it or breaks it yet. The hardest part for me is to just forget anything MVP (controls, mechanics, etc) and just try to revamp the whole way the game is played. Out of the box, it does seem a little shaky, but if I remember right, so did MVP. I'm not throwing in the towel on it, if things are moddable to a decent extent, I'm sure we'll get a good solid product before it's over with.

HardcoreLegend Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My main impression is the fielding. You have to hit the throw button at exactly the right time or else you're player either stands there or floats it towards the middle of the infield. Also, it appears my players may or may not run out of special juice as the ball gets near. They slow WAAAAY down and let the ball drop. I was playing at the Polo Grounds and I hit the button to throw home too early, it deselected Mike Cameron and he ended up running towards the CF clubhouse while the ball was chasing him. A bases clearing inside the park homerun. Mike was so embarrassed. Prince thought about eating his bat, JJ fell over when Prince broke wind and the Pirates beat my skull in thanks to Ringling Brothers in the OF.

Minnesota Twins Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 With the legacy left by MVP 2005 and the community that made it arguably the greatest sports game to date, it's hard for any baseball game to measure up. I give a lot of credit to the folks at 2K Sports for stepping up and giving us a great baseball game this year. I am fortunate enough to have the hardware that lets this game shine through for what it is... a really great baseball game. I am giving it two thumbs up thusfar ( b d ) . I am excited to see what the future holds for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybann Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ditto, just played an afternoon game at OPACY and watched the shadows move in as the sun went down and then the lights came on and the sky turned dark. Simply beautiful... Go against the Angels with weather set to cloudy.........and watch those storm clouds, unreal. If the 3 glitches I've noticed are taken care of (and I believe they will be), the immersive level will probably be too much for some to take. Simply put, the game has possibilities. I'm still shaking my head about those clouds rolling in the way they did. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was impressed by one of the crowd animations I saw while playing the demo. A foul ball was hit into the crowd. You could see one of the fans catch it and when he did, he stood up and shook his fist to celebrate. I will admit that this does nothing for the overall gameplay, but it was a nice little attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
