    MLB 09 The Show Blog - Online Season Leagues and Improvements

    Playstation.Blog has posted another MLB 09 The Show blog. This one covers Online Season Leagues and Improvements.

    "The draft system rivals that of any fantasy sports system. It allows from 6-30 players to hold a FULL LIVE Draft, with the ability to set your draft day/time, pick timer/length, chat (and harass), view the Player Card/stats of available players, view the Player Card stats of other users in your league drafting. Another integral part of the draft system is the ability to set you draft queue. No matter how much planning you do, there’s always a chance you can’t physically be at your draft, or you may not be able to stay for the entire draft."

      Don't play online much myself, but it sounds like they got some solid work done.

              This is all great info ...but the jury is still out on online play. If the game isn't smooth and there is still some lag, all of these features will be meaningless to me.

              Just like i said when the previews came, if the game didn't up the hitting difficulty and improve hitting engine, all the other features would have been meaningless to me. ( By the way, the hitting engine this year is the best thing since sliced bread)

              Same deal with online.....we will find out when we get the game. Hopefully the game experience is smooth as butter...but I'm not holding my breath.

                Persistent Chat - ability to maintain a seat and interaction in a game room, even after leaving. This is perfect for League Chat rooms

                What does this mean for in game chatting? Is it open mic?

                  Sounds good. But we'll have to see how the game plays online first. It was terrible last year.

                    Man...why all the hate!?

                    Some guys are very interested in this.
                    The flex schedule and online draft with the queue is big to guys in online leagues.

                      the blog should have been very simple a video of these guys playing online santa monica studios vs san diego. To show us this ish works online, features don't mean nothing when you can't play so it deserve all the hate it gets. I don't want to read about online play from these guys 2 years in a row its been virtually unplayable its just words on a box/blog at this point.

                        Well, if they would have shown it there still would have been people all over it. You realize these devs don't have to come here, don't have to post a blog. You could lighten up a bit. I want online lag free too, but geez...."more bs, who cares"?

                          Persistent Chat =
                          Excellent addition, well done. This allows more transparity for league teams looking to chat post-game. Now rather than having side conversation individually with others about your last game bragging rights or upsets, this can be done as a group for all who have entered the lobby.

                          Square to forfeit opponent instead of X (not allowing accidental forfeit) =
                          Another excellent addition. Had a few league games end this way last year which caused much heartache for me (Commissioner) as teams were outraged.

                            Quick question for guys who played last year...

                            Is fatigue implemented online or will I be facing #1 starters all of the time?
