Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

After having my blue-ray player for the past 7 months and not one game I was interested in playing on it. I decided to download the demo this past weekend after watching a movie because I was pretty much bored.

ALL I could say was wow!!!!!!!!!! I had not played a baseball game in about 2 years and I was not really interested in playing one anytime soon. But this game grabbed my attention from the start and just kept on woo'ing me the more I played it.

This game is the s**t! ...and I have only played the demo a few dozen times.

I have not been this impressed with a sports game in a very long time.. I am picking this game up after work!

If I may, and I will, give you advice.

When you get home tonight, clear the place out. Savor every pitch, every cut scene, everything.

The demo pales in comparison.

yes. You are penalized contact/power/timing ratings for wrong guesses.

Played my first game today on Hall of Fame difficulty. Giants vs. Brewers...looks like its gonna be a long year for the Giants offensively... Lincecum was a beast though.

I finished the game and I was so immersed into the game that I had no idea what time it was or how much time had passed. This game will definitely be in my rotation for the next 365 days.

I wish Barry Zito would learn how to pitch some velocity.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

First impression: playing on All Star difficulty - Cubs vs Tampa Bay, I'm the Cubs. The game seems a bit homer-happy. I hit 5 homeruns and TB hits two. Dunno what to think. Certainly hope I don't see too many of these games.

I believe after 172 pages of impressions, you are the first with this problem. What's your secret?

I assume that was sarcasm, in which case I wonder why I'm required to read 172 pages of impressions before I post? If it wasn't sarcasm, then I apologize.

You aren't allowed to say anything negative without the possibility of being criticized. The fact you just posted results from one game where 7 home runs were hit needed to be shouted down.

I don't think the game is homer happy but it depends on your skill level. If I hit 5 HRs on All-Star I think I would run a lap around my house and jump for joy. I struggle to hit 1 HR per game on All-Star. If you find it is an issue, try HOF as it may be what you are looking for but beware the cpu offense will be more dangerous.

I don't think the game is Homer happy either. In my first franchise game against the Cubs I hit 6 Homers. 2 with Lee, 2 with Matsui, 1 Berkman, and 1 Pence. I was like man, I don't think I have ever hit that many home runs in one game ever on a video game. I had your initial thoughts as well.

Well, I'm now in the fifth game of my franchise, and I have hit one home run since and that was with Lee. So, now I know that the game is not just homer happy. I was just "ON" in that first game I guess.

Well that's good to know (about the homers).

For the record (and this isn't directed at you rudy) this is an "impressions" thread, not an "I did an in-depth analysis about an issue" thread. Right?

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

I did not want to start a new thread but simply just wanted to ask a quick question and this thread resembled it the most. BUT...

Is there a way to resign players within franchise during the year? I have a ton of players that are in their final year's and I would like to re-sign them in May before they have an awesome year and demand more money. I cannot seem to find a place where to do this though.

Can anyone help me? Thank you all for your help!!!
