An option to turn off the player indicators would be great!

Finally got a chance to play the demo after getting home and i was very impressed. I won as the Rays 3-2 in a 4 inning game, was a sweat comeback win fo rme, all 3 runs scored in the top of the 4th. Anyways i seemed to be stuggling hitting while trying to move the left stick to like aim it or whatever so i decided to just swing and that seemed to work better for me (on allstar).

One question i do have, is how exactly are you supposed to pitch? Like when the catcher sets up do you want the pitch to break to that spot or break from that spot? Like if the catcher wants me to throw a slider do i have it so the pitch will break and end up where he wants or is that when i want it to start breaking?

"He" wants you to throw your pitch to that spot. Hit his glove in other words.

Even those pics look good, they are not doing it any justice. I was playing a game at Yankee stadium and it gave you the feeling there could be rain at any point.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I hate how the pitcher receives the ball back from the catcher. He just holds his glove up and waits for the ball to catch the glove....2K does this really well where the pitcher actually nonchelantly (?) goes after the ball to catch it..

Another thing I wish MLB 09 would add is the different camera angles that can be seen in 2K's game....It would be great if I could adjust the behind-the- pitcher camera to any height and angle that I wanted...

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I came across a bit of a problem on the Demo last night. I have a runner on first, 1 out. I hit a tapper towards SS expecting a double play. SS picks up the ball and casually strolls to 2nd base and my runner gets there safe, he then throws it 1st but it goes over the 1B head....ok I'm thinking this SS is having a VERY bad day.....my guy on 2nd advances to 3rd and the batter advances to 2nd. The catcher runs over to where the ball is picks it up and just stands there....meanwhile my two runners round all the bases and I score 2 runs. While this is happening the catcher just stands there with the ball looking like an idiot!! I saw this happen a few times in '08....I hope it isn't in the '09 final version!

Why did you take the runs? Cheap.

lol

Last night I was playing and paused the game to take a phone call and the PA announcer mentions an upcoming promotion where Seniors run the bases.

You completely missed the point of my post.

The point is that the game shouldn't have allowed me to take the runs....it should have tried to throw me out while my guys were running around the bases!

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

No no, your point was rather transparent. But what you did was take advantage of an AI flaw, which is cheap. In a demo no less!

Shame on you.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Minor detail but annoying. The Pitcher is on top of the rubber when he pivots and throws.

Otherwise looks good.

Adjusting fielders...............can we do this in the demo?? If so, how is it done?? I've tried every possible button and button combination known to the modern world and nothing!!!

I could swear that Countryboy (while playing one of his 100 demo games......LOL) mentioned something about adjusting his fielders in the 09 demo during a certain game play situation. Or did I just misread that

You can't adjust fielders during the demo.

The cpu automatically adjust your fielders for you. Play against the Phils and have Howard come to bat with no one on, and then press the start button and look at the lower right hand corner of the screen and it will show you the defensive shift that the outfield is in. For Howard, they do an extreme shift for him to pull.
