is anyone else early when batting... im always early or very ealry..

they made the bat speed significantly faster this year.

You can either adjust your own timing, or raise the pitch speed.

19" TV Dave? You might as well be viewing the game through a porthole! LOL

You can definitely see the pitch grips better on a HDTV.

That's cool nem. Yeah 19" it's pretty bad LOL. I'm ready to buy a HDTV but I am really lost when it comes to video games. I am not going to trust a salesman at a store. I am not sure about native resolution and how that can effect framerate. I just want a HDTV that is going to have no input lag or the very minimal amount. I was thinking about a 32" LCD 720p possibly. What do you have and do you experiment any lag??

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

Was playing today and had a guy on 1st with no outs. Ball hit to second baseman, underhands to the SS (out#1) then throws to first but too high and goes in the dugout. The batter is now standing on 3rd.

Pretty sure you can only advance to second on that play. Also I realize it is an early build but that might be something that you don't see very often so I wanted to post it in case the devs never saw this before.

When we were in SD it took a few games before I got the timing down. The timing is totally different between 08 and 09.

I have a Panasonic LCD, very happy with it, no lag at all for me.

Rule 7.05 f -g

(f) Two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines;

(g) Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench (whether or not the ball rebounds into the field), or over or under or through a field fence, or on a slanting part of the screen above the backstop, or remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting spectators. The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made;

....and I don't believe he can be awarded first base on that play...so he is ruled safe and then given two bases...(I'm pretty sure)

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

Hey guys,
I have a quick question. I don't know if it's due to this being the demo, but when I am pitching ( i tried out the camera where it's from behind the pitcher like in real life) and I throw a ball or strike, the catcher starts the motion to throw it back to me and then it just kinda blips and then it's back in my pitchers hand. I don't have fast play on and I don't remember if this was the case last year. Can someone tell me if this happens to you, or if it's the demo or for that matter any other reason for the occurrence.

Anybody have and clue? Sorry if doing this bothers anybody. I am just wondering what's up.

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

but one thing that's bothering me is differentiating the high heat and a breaking ball down in the zone. I have no way of really telling the difference

you share that sentiment with everyone in AAA and lower in real life!

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

Anyone notice when running after a pop-up in the outfield the fielder seems to jog after it? I had this happen a couple times, he was jogging, then at the end he finally started running then it was to late to get there.

Re: @ messygravy94

dude...i am one of those guys who posted the slider and edits...lol

I see you didnt know that...as I noted that you just joined OS yesterday...

Anywho, that is exactly what I was alluding to. When The Show '08 came out, a TON of folks initially thought the Flash Gordon outfielders and infielders would ruin what was a promising game---but it didn't happen. Of course, a TON of edits and slider adjustments were to be done.

ummmmmmm, i joined os quite a few months back dude. maybe you need your eyes checked. and i only went with the good slider sets like nem and knight. and THEY will tell you im sure that the outfielders cut off too many doubles as compared to real baseball. have you ever even played real baseball????? you sound like a someone who hasnt. THIS YEAR YOU GET MORE OF A VARIETY OF DOUBLES!!!!!!! which is more like real baseball!!!!!!!!! the fielders act like humans and not superman. thats ALL im saying dude. jeeeeez.

FEBUARY 2008!!!!!! was my join date. cant you read cause you obviously dont know baseball at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ messygravy94

my bad, you joined a year ago...I apologize for that

but I don't apologize for everthing else I said because you don't have any idea of what you're talking about. And furthermore, it's ALL your fault when you don't take a proactive role to get your sliders tight and your gameplay up to snuff

you're right, you need to stop puffing and man up!:wink:

PS: THEY will tell you that they worked about the issue of non extra basehits...I have and they have....and you left out a few prominent guys. Knight and I have worked together, so you're late...real late
