After a few games I can safely say that this was a good purchase for me. I was a fan of 2K8 and really enjoy some of the updates in this year's version. Here are some quick impressions:

Let me know if you run into any game-crashing bugs. That has me worried a bit, and holding off. (Evidently, it had something to do with the 'quick play' mode and a franchise, or something like that.)

There was a patch that was released today that supposedly resolves the franchise issues. I'm not sure if it addresses any crashing issues though.

Ted, regarding your question on minor league teams (from the 2K forums):
Q: Thanks for your time. Are the minor leagues the same as last year? A: We have all AAA, AA, and High A teams and leagues this year. The main difference is only AAA games will be playable this year. All rosters have been updated for minor league teams. |

Also, the new base stealing controls are nice and the ball physics coming off the bat are great.

How are the walks? (Taking them and throwing them.)

I've had some game crashing issues, but not sure if it is the game or my 360.
The first time it happened was when I quit a franchise game in the middle of an inning - the screen froze. That was no big deal as I was just fooling around with stuff and figured it was no big deal. The second time was when I tried the Save and Quit option in the middle of a game. I was psyched that they had this feature in this year, but it froze while trying to save. The third time really pissed me off. I finally started my franchise and was going into the bottom of the 7th. Screen froze - reboot - lost whole game. Again, not sure if it is my console or not (I have had this issue with a couple of other games), but if it continues, I can't see how I will play this game. I don't want to invest an hour into a game just to see it crash in the latter innings. And I don't want to have to Save and Quit (even assuming that it works) every inning just to preserve my game. It's too bad, because I love most everything else about this one (except the menu access ..... that part sucks). |

I've read other reports of frequent crashing too, Grambo, so it's definitely not just you. That stinks.

I'm a pretty free swinger, but I'll try to draw some walks tonight and see what happens. You can adjust the sliders to make pitching quite hard too. I did get the CPU to strike out looking plenty of times though. |
