Sounds like a basic preview & like most threads, the usual jab @ 2K Sports...

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

Am I the only one that got excited over them now having 30-40 different faces in the crowd?

SCEA San Diego, please make an attempt at analog throwing like 2k, it should be a traded off, they implemented your base running technique, the least they could do is give in return. Don't go after that pitching thing, I like my games easily accessible.

Day and Night cycles, weather, franchise options (40-man, arbitration, rule 5, September call-ups), better lighting, more details, more "little things", 700 new animations, 400 new presentation screens, pitchers with jackets on, etc etc etc

Somehow don't feel, "sameness".

And I will pass to high hell on analog pitching. Pure and simple gimmick.

Yes. Yes you are, but the jackets got me all excited.

I happen to agree with you on analog, but to say taking something from them if they do it right is ******** is a very poor statement.
the point is that they didnt do anything well in that game as far as gameplay. I will take the sig styles...but nothing else

That's great that the pitchers have jackets but what about this statement: "but clipping is still an issue when the ball is in play." Hopefully this can be improved upon before the final edition is released.

Those things I already know, I wasn't making the statement as a critisism, I was making the statement because of a simple fact, this game will get to the "sameness" level but the previewer made that assessment with only being with the game for a couple of hours. All sports games that have any heritage will suffer from sameness period. Madden, and NBA 2k are their right now. Its an eventuallity germain to annual releases and the fact that the sport doesn't change that much either. Its not a knock, its a fact, I'm just seeing how new blood can be pumped in the the game without it being gimmicy i.e. slam zone or circus catches. And for the record I don't want the pitching thingy in 2k, I would like the option of analog throws however.
