Played more last night, and Legend seems the way to go, It seems really fair believe it or not, I was lost my game, but that because I left Santana in too long and pushed him in the 9th with no energy. Anyway, my only little issue is, the pitch count for the starter for the CPU, It doesn;t help that I swing at everything either.

agreed FF. Legend is the way to go for me. I haven't won a game, but its due to baseball and not because of computer powerups. I've lost games big and lost close games, lost 1-0 3 times already and have held the cpu to 5 hits or less in 5 games out of about 16 or 17 complete. Only given up double digit hits 4 times thus far(15 being the most). I am loving this level.

I use guess pitch so it keeps me from hacking at everything.

I havent gotten my copy yet (damn work) but do you guys feel like too many runs are coming from homers? Im not saying thats true, just looking for some feedback

For me tater, I don't. I've played about 16 or 17 complete games and I can think of 6 of those that didn't have a single homerun hit in them(Legend default/Guess pitch/Meter Pitching)

If I had to guess(didn't track stats) I'd say I've given up 9 or 10 homeruns thus far. Now that may be a lot to some for only 16 games or so, but keep in mind, the meter is new this year and I'm still learning it.(different than demo as well)

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

How can you edit free agents? Also, where do you find them? I looked everywhere last night and couldn't find the free agent list.

it's there in the roster section. just keep scanning through with the shoulder buttons.

i don't use guess pitch. i just zero out pitch speed. ( to compensate...i also zero out contact, timing, solid hits..just for the record i also max out fouls). for cpu pitching, i take down pitch consistency, control, strike frequ -3 clicks. for me, this helps my hacking issue. also, try maxing out power for both you and the cpu when all these above things are zero'd out. it's amazing how high some of the fly balls are w/o always being hrs. even with pwr maxed out, i still get bloop singles, slow rollers, etc...

edit: i'm using legend mode

I honestly don't know. Just if I try to not use GP, I swing at everything...

Really? I did that last night, and it seemed as though it was just cycling through the teams only. I never saw FA.

you have to access the FA list via the player movement option in the roster section. When you select roster you can choose to go to player movement, rotation, lineup, etc..., choose player movement. The FA list is right after the Orioles.
