the mlb2k9 soundtrack is redeemed because it features "the final countdown"!

Hows online play in 2k9? Is it as laggy as 2k7, 2k8?

well, to be fair, she might be giving more weight to gameplay which scored lower.

This quote is funny though:
You'll also fight a heaping amount of stats, including numerous Sabremetric stats for those who want to play Moneyball with their franchise.
I played a game and I have to admit there were a few more issues like what Michael pointed out and what the writer mentions with Ichiro. I wonder if increasing the difficulty or changing settings would help. If so, that 2kShare feature should come in handy.

Need some help, I bought Knights of the Old Republic to play on 360. I downloaded the update when i first put the game in. Then when it gets to the Lucas Arts screen it freezes. I thought it might be the game so I took it back and got another one and it freezes at the same point. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Team Xbox, who are usually pretty lenient in their reviews, were underwhelmed with 2K9.
