You know, the only improvement that I expect out of 2K is the presentation...other than that, I personally think that the frame rate looks a little better but still bad, and I dont even think the the graphics look THAT good
After playing the game, which I lost to the Rays 2-1, I thought it was very well put together. There were not many drastic changes from last year, but there were many little changes that make this game so much better than 08. By the way, the signiture style and small effects such as baggy pants, batting gloves sticking out the back pocket, and even different bat colors are touches that really add to the presentation of this game. One thng that really astonshed me was how realistic the crowd looked and moved! I had 8 K's with Cole Hamels in 4 innings, and at one point the announcers showed a screen of fans putting the K signs along the stadium ledge. I thought that was pretty cool. I can not wait to play as my favorite team when this game comes out in a month!
