Beautiful Graphics and Presentation
Take-Two continues to refine the graphics and presentation of the game, and when you play MLB 2K9, you'll often wonder if you weren't watching television. The new Virtual Director brings smart camera placement, dramatic cuts, and more for a broadcast feel. Real-Time Atmosphere means ballboys, umpires, and coaches move naturally.

New Controls for Precision Batting and Pitching
Using the analog sticks, Take-Two's Precision Pitching and Swing Stick give you the ability to paint the corners with your pitches and pull an inside fastball over the wall for a home run. The game carefully tracks aim and timing, so the ball always responds as you would expect it to in real life.

Never Miss a Trade as Rosters are Updated Continually
The latest rosters are included in the game, so your favorite team will have all its 2009 players. Not only that, with Living Rosters, the MLB 2K9 automatically updates the roster by getting the latest information online and incorporating it into the game. Never miss a trade again as they will be reflected in your game in real time.

MLB 2K9 provides a wealth of statistical information, and baseball fans won't be disappointed. The Inside Edge feature uses six years of scouting data to accurately mimic player tendencies. You'll notice your favorite players reacting to situations in the game just as they would in real life.

Player Specific Animations for More Realistic Games
2K Sports continues to build in more player-specific details, so now you can recognize your favorite players simply by watching the way they move around the batters box, how they swing the bat, or how they celebrate their home runs. It's not just hitters who get this treatment as pitchers also have their unique deliveries and windups. The result is a game that feels more life-like than before.
