Teaser trailer for MLB 2K9
Pretty damn dead-on with Lincecum's delivery.
Not so much on Reyes' stats on the Jumbotron.

Meh
I want to see gameplay footage. Also why isn’t the friggin’ cover athlete pitching at home? Nice of them to show the SF area code at the end though.
I’m still holding out hope for this game because I’ve been a fan of 2K Sports since its Dreamcast days, although it’s not the plucky underdog it once was. Also, I don’t have a PS3, so that makes the decision easy.
I was really disappointed with 2K8 which wasn’t all that different from 2K7 — new pitching mechanic aside.
Yeah, I agree with you. Each consecutive game since ESPN Baseball 2K5 has been baby steps, rather than leaps they should have made. Even the commentary in 2K8 is the same from 2K5, just with new names added. Supposedly, they’ve gone back and rebuilt the game (or so I’ve been told…) so hopefully 2K9 will be a lot better. Exclusive licensing sucks. :/
I don’t think I’ve picked up a baseball game since All-Star Baseball in the N64 days.
I just don’t find a great thrill in baseball video games. I loved Bases Loaded on the NES and Tommy Lasagna Baseball on the Genesis. Beyond that, the games are really hit and miss…to borrow a pun.
Like what is mentioned, the wallet can only take so many roster updates a year at $50-60 a shot. If anyone made a MLB-type “NFL Blitz” with a old time roster, spiked cleats, spit balls and all…I’d be the first to pre-order!
it's always noonan somewhere
Video game baseball
for me begins and ends with Bases Loaded on the NES. Paste was a frickin’ animal.
Of all the big three American sports, I think the NBA handles its media the best. Instead of fighting with YouTube, they created their own NBA channel for highlights and behind the scenes video. They also keep their license for video games available to different companies. Competition breeds better quality, so having more video games based on your properties is a good thing.
they got his delivery down almost perfect
I still like MLB The Show’s graphics better, though. And PS those are Reyes’ career numbers not single season.
Citi Field looks so darn boring...
Whatever happened to the new ballparks having some personality?
Wall-E for Best Picture 2008
haven't played the mlb 2k series
actually I haven’t played a baseball game since MVP ‘05, but the NBA 2k series is awesome, so why can’t they do the same with baseball?
Did anybody else have that baseball game for the Sega Genesis with Swift on the front? It may have been Burkett, can’t quite remember.
