  • MLB 2K9: Videos, Screens, and Team Ratings

    Today's the big media day for MLB 2K9, as the curtain has been lifted on video footage. We've published footage from the first inning of three games:

    St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs

    Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees

    Washington Nationals at Kansas City Royals

    Earlier in the week, I asked for screenshot requests for the game and, below, you'll find lots of new screens of the game honoring those requests, including looks at Citi Field, New Yankee Stadium, and a bunch of close-up shots of players in action. If you want to seea specific screen below

    Finally, I've also included team ratings for all the teams in the game, rated across six categories: Overall, Contact, Power, Speed, Pitching, and Defense.

  • Thursday Notes: MLB, Football Manager, UFC and a Glimpse at NCAA 10

    I've spent the majority of the week playing two games: MLB 2K9 and Football Manager Live. With MLB I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the ineffectiveness of my pitching at the higher difficulty levels. I understand that pitching to a guy like Albert Pujols (who rates 100 overall in the game) is a dangerous prospect, but he's been quite literally shelling me during every at bat. I'm not quite sure if its my ability to deal with the new pitching controls, the fact that my catcher is calling bad pitches, or Pujols' inflated ratings. Or some combination thereof. Nonetheless, it's become frustrating--especially when I sim a game and watch Pujols go hitless the entire game…

    With Football Manager Live, it's been an enjoyable uphill battle trying to figure out just what the heck this game is all about. I dabbled in the old Championship Manager series and this game is a fascinating and modern take on the time-honored management sim, only online, with hundreds of other like-minded fans. Justin Calvert and I have been playing this religiously and I'm enjoying it a lot. If you've got even a passing interest in management-type games, give this one a look. I hope to write more about the game in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, if you're playingFML now, let me know and we can compare notes…

  • MLB 2K9: Top Ten Players at Each Position and Screens

    I've had a few requests for rosters/ratings for MLB 2K9 so here we go. Below, you'll find the top ten players at each position in the game based on overall rating, plus the top twenty pitchers in the game. I've also included some in-game screenshots from the game for each of the top players at each position.

No promises on honoring every request, however. Finally, I plan on putting up some video on Friday, so stay tuned for that.
