MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

well it has now happened in the retail version

my fielder goes into a canned animation to shag an easy fly ball and i cant move him from the circle and the ball bounces next to him which leads to 2 runs scored..horrible

and this only happes when there are runners on base

incredible....

See........the lack of a true manual fielding option is not a good thing!!! I hate when this kind of thing leads to runs being scored and potentially losing a game because of a stupid forced animation... SHEESH

C'mon SCEA, make manual fielding...MANUAL for the love of god!!!! Save the pretty animations until after the catch is made.

Whats up with the check swing this year? it's almost impossible not to go all the way for the strike

It is tied to player attributes. Some are going to be able to perform the check better than others.

Getting a pic for a member my first play was a hard hit grounder to the right of Pena who gloved it stretching out and fired a strike to the pitcher covering at first for the out. Runs smooth as silk. Playing on a Sony Bravia 46". Tropicana looks good, but that's not saying much for that poor looking stadium. It's been spruced up a bit though, but man, they need to get a new stadium.

Agree with new stadium Jim, but at least it always 72 degrees:wink:!

Nice opening for a Yankee vs. Texas game. Jeter and another Yankee were in front of the dugout and talking to a Ranger. Jeter then begins messing with him and jokingly pushing him around.

If I am not mistaking that could have been the Giants stadium. They were talking about moving there and then Peter M step in and bought the team. In fact it was that Stadium. I was like what a dome. Oh hell no!

Correct! There was talk of Seattle possibly also, until they SHOCKED the New York Yankees

Opening at Nats stadium had four of the Nats down the right field line playing catch. The catcher had only his shin guards on. Talked about the game and then said the game was coming up, fade out for a second and then back to the game.

Man, Nationals Stadium is downright beautiful! Glad I'm using the Nats this year.

Cloudy day in Nats stadium, lots of clouds in the sky, flags are straight down, no wind, no cloud movement. What a great looking stadium this is.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Blzr - I'm disappointed!! I was looking forward to your impressions of the game. I think everyone is awestruck right now, as well they should be. Have fun with it.

I have a long set of impressions that I'm typing up. Actually, it's not as much of impressions as it is a summary of my games yesterday, but there are impressions hidden within.

Hopefully I'll get it up within the hour. This is my first real free time to do anything today, I've been working since 5:00.

This is a great thing SECA added. I have played the demo at least 75 times now, and love the opening sequences. It seems like it something different everytime.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Hey Blzer, how did the online game play for you?? Was there any laggy moments while pitching or batting??

I actually meant head-to-head play, sorry for the confusion.
