Game Description
When it comes to accuracy, 2K Sports "paints the corners" as well as anyone. So get ready for the return of baseball season with more detail than ever in MLB 2K9. You'll see your favorite players step into and out of the batters box, celebrate homers, and hit their windup just like they do at the ballpark. Hit your spots with Pinpoint Pitching triggered by flicking the Wiimote.

A new presentation features broadcasters Gary Thorne and Steve Phillips, plus a new soundtrack with tunes from Ted Nugent, Coheed & Cambria, and more.
