Early Review

An early review of Major League Baseball 2K9 from Game Informer scored the game 7.25 out of 10 and basically chided it for changes that were made to make the game more accessible to a larger audience. The reviewer believes the game was dumbed-down too much and as a result has become too simple. Here are some quotes from the review:
In a bid to make this year’s game more accessible, 2K Sports makes concessions all across the diamond, often with disastrous results. The pitching mechanic was hit the hardest...This system is so simple that a blind ape could master it.
The analog batting system is also simplified to a state where a coma victim with a periodic twitch could likely get good wood on a ball.The only area of this game that is dramatically improved is the fielding...I was hoping that 2K would build on last year's foundation. Instead, the foundation has been altered to be more appealing to the masses. That's difficult logic to argue with, but 2K's approach is way off the mark.Game Informer: Major League Baseball 2K9 Review
About the Game

Major League Baseball 2K9 is designed to capture the essence of the sport down to some of the most minute details including batting stances, pitching windups and signature swings. Gameplay enhancements were made in pitching, batting, fielding and baserunning in order to make the game more accessible for a wider audience.Official Site: MLB 2K9
