Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

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.

Ahhh.... Thanks CB.

Any word on the supposed patch (either date it comes out or what it fixes)? And how is the new roster that goes live today?

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

how does guess pitch help from hacking?

It helps a lot for me. I always guess fastball. That way, if I guess right, I'll know if the pitch is going to be a ball or strike just based on the trajectory.
But if I guess wrong, then I know the pitch is going to break, making me more patient at the plate.

But RudyJuly2 brought up a good point about Guess Pitch. It's always 100%. If you guess fastball, and it is, it's never wrong.

He said he'd prefer if it wasn't always 100% depending on the hitter. If you have Brandon Inge, who's a .230 batter, guess fastball should it always recognize it if it is? No. The poorer hitters shouldn't always get the benefit of guessing right.

Picked up the game at Walmart on my way to work this morning, they had at least a dozen copies left. I also finally bit the bullet and bought another controller, it's insane that a video game controller costs $55!

Now I just have to wait about six more hours, lol. I'm pumped to hit the cage and try loading in some of Skyboxer's sound bites, after playing a game vs Boston in the new stadium of course.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Finally got it. Took awhile as the old man ahead of me in line decided to complain about kids playing video games for 5 hours a day and not realizing it. He's buying a game for a kid, of course.

Now I finally got it... and it's caching to the HDD. *sigh* Waiting...

EDIT: Never mind, just finished as I posted.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

color me impressed. My first two hits were doubles down the LF line that rolled to the wall. So one of my biggest beefs with 08 is already fixed

Great to hear.

Just had an amazing 6-4 Battle as The Brewers (me) were able to hold off the Pirates at Miller Park.

Miller Park looks amazing in an afternoon game. The shadows are unreal.

Bill Hall hit 2 HRs in the game. Must have been pissed after having to listen to 3B umpire WOODY KELLER talk in his ear all game.

I can't wait for the WOODY KELLER jeers to start showing up in the Custom Music thread!

I gave a bunch of these to Skyboxer from HH2k4.

"What game you watchin' blue!"
"How come that wasn't a strike!"
"Ah, come on!"

etc., etc., etc. They sound good.

Could you please check if there is any way to do a fantasy draft this year? I read about there being online leagues with drafts, but I'm hoping they finally included a single player season/franchise where you can have a full fantasy draft.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Picking mine up during my lunch break...and wouldn't you know it, the fiancee will be with her friend tonight and not home.

I didn't play the demo, but what would you guys suggest is a good level to start out on? I'm a vet of '08 and not a first-timer or anything.

Legend is the highest level, but don't be afraid, it's very very fair, but you will pay for your mistakes like you would in real life.

Thanks. That's what I was probably going to start on regardless...I'm so pumped. Is it as good as advertised?
