OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I thought IAN might be exaggerating, but he's not.  It's the same fucking shit.  They improved the bat sounds, and the pitching is somewhat easier.  Big fucking deal.  The strike zone is still too big, and the umps still call pitches strikes that are well off the plate.  The new batting camera made it look like Sabathia was pitching from Citi Field, and didn't really make it significantly more easy to distinguish balls from strikes.  There was a relatively routine ground ball hit at Rollins, which he ran several steps straight backward to catch.  And the outfielders still have dramatically overpowered arms.

I give up.  2K is a total fucking disaster.

Not a chance.  Not after that demo.  I'll consider it when it's $10 in June.  But even then, there are far better games to play.

Good.  They made the game look worse than it did last year, which was worse than it looked the year before.  The animations are very awkward, as they always were.  I hate 2K so much for this.

I didn't think it looked any worse.  It's just a bad, bad game.

Right, and I'm saying it doesn't look worse.  In fact, it probably looks slightly better than last year.  It's at least on par.  Why not pick one of the other 1,000 reasons to hate this game?

Fair enough.  The real thing that I hate about this game are the wonky animations that make fielding incredibly and needlessly difficult and the hitting and pitching mechanics that they always say they work on and tweak but never really follow through on.

The look of the game, as far as the graphical stat overlays and such aren't bad at all.  The textures on the dirt and grass are pretty good.  The stadiums look pretty shitty, though.  And there isn't enough variation in the players.  There's no way Ryan Howard is as big as Shane Victorino.

I think you got those mixed up.

I hate that after three years, they still don't have batting stances that are even close to correct for some players.  As much as I hate Ryan Theriot, I can't believe they still have the exact same stance that looks absolutely nothing like his actual stance.  It's like in MVP 2005 when they gave Derrek Lee the same batting stance as David Eckstein.

There's a gameplay trailer of the Cubs and Mets where Theriot's stance looks to be updated, FWIW.
