    • Improved framerate and visuals; easier pitching; more realistic free agency and trades; replacement announcers have new things to say.
    • Batting and pitching may be too simplified for some; dust clouds a bit much; player animations suffer between pitches; unintuitive menus.

    MLB2K9 captures the essence of baseball down to the most minute, player- specific details including batting stances, pitching windups and signature swings. Gameplay enhancements in pitching, batting, fielding and base running promise to be user-friendly and enjoyable for rookies or veterans. New commentary and presentation provide the icing to this ultimate baseball experience. Read more

    Hitting is too easy on all difficulty levels. Games often wind up being slugfests where the teams combine to clock something in the neighborhood of 30 hits. You don't have to be a good twitch gamer, either, because it's a snap to time your swings right and get big-time wood on the ball even if you're going up against a fireballer like Jonathan Papelbon.

  1. Great game, but frustrating

    This is a very fun game, but the AI and fly ball catching is frustrating sometimes.... I had a perfect game going, then in the 8th, a lazy fly ball is dropped by Ichiro, I positioned him perfectly and the ball bounced off of his HEAD! stupid things like this make me rate the game a little lower, but still a good gaming experience.
