MLB 09 The Show Videos: Early Look at New Yankees & Citi Field Stadiums

- On a side note, check out the blocked view seats in Yankee Stadium, 1 minute into the vid. The poor saps in the upper third of the section can't see the field beyond 1st/3rd base. Terrible design gaff, given the money they spent building that place.

I made a post about that earlier too (not the same seats, but you know). Is the stadium really going to be like that?

I love how the camera pans out and zooms in on the HR's on both videos. Just like a real broadcast. Love it!!

Oh yeah. I found a seating chart for the new stadium online. If you draw a line from the back seats thru the front corners of the restaurant wall and continue on to home plate, it shows that dozens of seats on either side of the restaurant won't be able to see any action beyond 1st and 3rd base as I said. And from what I read on the YES network forum, it was a design oversight that nobody picked up on until after construction was underway.

EDIT: Here's the seating chart. And if it's accurate, then people sitting against the LF side of the restaurant wall won't be able to see any action beyond the pitcher's mound... won't be able to view over half the field, in other words.

Once again there are no pitchers,Catchers and coaches sitting on chairs in realtime in the bull pens.

Also no Ball boys and Ball girls on chairs in left and right field.

Since these videos are from an early build I am still hoping for them this year. If not then please add this for MLB 2010 The Show

Seriously, how did the Yankees **** that up? What an embarrassment.

Okay, turns out we were talking about the same seats. I thought you meant the seats underneath the overhangs of the left and right field bleachers, like all they could see is the outfield and up until the corners of the infield, where home plate and everything else is blocked from view.

I was playing 08 the other night and I started to think about how much I was going miss Shea Stadium. Until I seen these video clips of 09. Now I cant wait to see Citi Field.

It will be weird playing in Citi Field before seeing it in person. This is the most hyped Ive been over a video game in awhile. Actually debating taking the day off from work for this.

To he who asked, the ball does indeed have seams during regular gameplay.

Are you talking '08 or '09?

'08 certainly does not have seams.. its a white dot.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Videos: Early Look at New Yankees & Citi Field Stadiums

I'm referring to '09. The videos confirm it.

Yes, I saw that too and I hope its gameplay and not replays. I mean, you can watch 08 trailers and they have seams too. I'm not sure why this bothers me but it is really one of few things that I can't get past.
