Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Well, after all the inexplicable omissions, and gameplay quirks in 2K9. I have decided to go with the Show. I may still get 2k9 if some stuff is fixed in the future. But its back to the Show for me.

Welcome back. I feel the same way. But I am graphic whore. So it was a pretty easy decision.

The no hitter celebration is kind of cool. First time I've ever seen it. After playing a 9-7 game against my friend, I no hit him the next game.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Sorry.

What I am asking....Is you said that we get more editable players after we start a franchise. Is it possible for you to start a franchise edit the players and then have others use the "franchise save" to begin their franchises?

Like I said I can not remember if settings and teams can be changed after a franchise has been started.

Just a thought thanks for everything...

Player's contact (maybe even power too) are way too high. That's why team batting averages are high as well.

I couldn't find the other thread about this, so I threw it in here.

.252-.286 team BA for the season that was simulated in the Bil Abner. Seems to be an improvement over last year to me.

Well, there are a lot more cut scenes in between the outs and such that really add to the presentation this year. Also, having sort of figured out the audio editor and adding some sound clips (old HH2k4 Organ, for one) it adds even more.

Gameplay is top notch and I'm not having a problem with hitting like I was last year. Much improved.

I don't see how this was a tough decision. The Show all year every year!

Read the thread. This has been discussed ad nauseum.

As a fellow "swing only" guy Jim, in what way do you mean not having a problem?

You hitting with enough variation, plenty of doubles, bombs (but not too many etc), thoughts?

I will more than likely start on All-Star with no slider tweaks and go from there.

Sure....but since you can't switch teams, it doesn't really help unless I start one for everyone and keep editing the guys over and over ..

I know what you mean now though..

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

I have tried to convert to aiming with the L stick and have had no luck ... I never get the cursor to move to where I aimed either and I find that I end up swinging at everything when I try to aim

I'm sticking with swing only :wink:

Do you have the plate coverage indicator turned on? I usually turn this on for a while to get used to it before turning it off. Gives you great feedback.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Funny stuff. It shows relief pitcher Garrett Mock walking in from the bullpen with his glove in his throwing hand and he accidentally drops it when he steps up on the mound, looks around to retrieve it.
