Things that make me happy..

But the most creative addition thus far will come into the game's season and franchise modes, and that's with the inclusion of the player morale system. It is here that you'll have to keep your team in balance by paying attention to player needs, as well as chemistry. One bad ego can easily ruin the bunch, so you'll probably need to have your coaching staff keep an eye on things to make sure the wins keep coming. Otherwise, you'll see the effects of your play come back and haunt you, especially during a loss to the Rockies. Yikes.

The game will also include "flashback replays" that play back to earlier moments in the game, or perhaps the season if you're in the middle of a run for the title with, I dunno, the Red Sox.

That's nice...I always wanted replays from the season.. like the last time these teams met or whatever!

didnt MVP have something similar where if players where unhappy it affected your teams rating

Yes it does.. but it was far from deep.. I love MVP but that was a toss in for sure..

Also winning solved all that noise.. and it didn't reallt make your team play better or worse that I noticed in my 2 full seasons..
 
They are promising "stunning" player models. They have a LOT of work to do. I can't believe how bad the models looked in the past few games. I bitch a lot about MVP's models but 2k's are just as bad. I especially loved the short billed helmets...

yeah.. just started playing around with MLB2k5WSE and looks really bad coompared.. but some of the batting animations and stances were better. I am thinking of Griffey's to be exact

One game has gotten Griffeys stance correct and that was Home Run King on Gamecube. The stances in that game are amazing for the big time players.
 
The presentation in the 2k series games is always leaps and bounds over the EA games in pretty much every sport. And as great as that is (season replays are awesome) I sure hope they fix the gameplay issues of the previous MLB versions.
 
Go play MVP 2005, the one with Manny on the cover.

Play as A-Rod. They did an unbe-freakin-lievable job on him. His mammoth swing makes you wanna smash every pitch. Feckin awesome.

Did you guys catch the article about hoe 2K is spending alot of time on new motion capturing. Awesome. 2K is putting alot of energy into this.

Maybe they could strike a deal with FOXsports net so they could have live scores too.

I played over 400 games of that one and A-rods swing is real nice.. But not have a proper Griffey swing is just not acceptable.. best looking swing ever to grace baseball

Blackace, you ever play Home Run Kings? If you have a GC do yourself a favor and rent it. Its labeled as a arcade baseball game but that couldnt be any futher from the truth. A baseball game that couldve been the best out with another year under its belt.
 
Have not played.. got a gc here but not sure if I am going to go through the hassle of getting a copy here to Japan.

But back on track things that need to happen is a proper Minor League (MVP was soooooo close to being dead on with theirs) and real position changes.. when I slap a guy out of position I want to see results bad or good...
 
sexay. I hope it's not like NBA2K5's deal where a player comes to you and bitches about something. Then you have to say the right thing or he'll get pissed off.

In MVP it was fairly good how when you changed their positions their meter went into the RED quicker.

High Heat's was the best.. their stats completely changed..

In MVP I could, if I wanted to, stick Ichiro at 3rd and his stats are the same.. sure he gets tired quicker but he is still one of the best 3B inthe game :lol
 
I'm excited about a 360 version of 2k6.

I can't wait to play a baseball game that I can leave the commentary on without constantly hearing, "Sometimes, you try make a hitter chase your pitch. That's exactly what you saw right there," when I throw a pitch outside of the strike zone.

CHEATER! :P Ichiro? you can stick that man anywhere and get good results.

Fast-Check
Arm-Double Check
Bat- next....
fielding- begining to think hes perfect...

So, yea cheater is the word.
