With the exception of the timing-only thing, I thought it was the best hitting system I've seen in a game.

Other than that, it's a brilliant hitting system.

I've already arranged to rent the game when it first comes out -- I know the manager at my local Blockbuster. So I'll be making my purchasing decision based on cold, hard gaming experience, and not just hope.

Baa, I'll be relying on you. I took your advice and checked out The Show 08 for PS2 and loved it (except for the last-gen graphics). If your impressions of MLB 2k9 are good, I'll strongly consider buying it. Otherwise, I'm going with The Show 09 for the PS2.

We agree far more than I ever realized .

Anyone know for sure how 2k8's framerate was on the ps3 vs the 360. I'm wondering if the other reviews could have been on a ps3 where as this was on a 360.

I've got to say this game has ALOT of promise. Some things I'm hoping for.

No dumbing down of the franchise mode. Another words I hope AAA-A teams are still included and they continued to go with real minor league stadiums.
Eliminate the game killing bugs. Yes, the game will have bugs I'm sure but hopefully they will be more along the lines of annoying and less of the game killing type.

A move in the right direction will once again pump some much needed life into this series and from what I'm reading there is a strong possibility of that happening.

Hey, glad to hear that about The Show. Can't go wrong with the PS2 version, seeing it's essentially the PS3 version, minus the graphics and some non-gameplay related features. The manager at Blockbuster is going to let me kniow when the game is coming in, and they sometimes have their new games on the shelf on release day. Chances are though it could be a day or two later, so...
