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

Better! :wink:

It's honestly like BASEBALL HEAVEN

Awesome!! The only thing that bums me out is that I want to wait for Knight's rosters...so franchise isn't starting until mid-April.

Hint, hint Knight. :wink:

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

I hit a hard ground ball back to the pitcher, it hit the rubber and came flying back to the catcher. But then i am pretty sure the ball passed right thru the base.

I think this is the longest initial load up we have seen. But from the opening scenes until you can press start it is just about the same as 08. At SD we had both versions going at one point to compare different things.

To your point, there seems to be some extra blank screen time until you see the playstation 3 screen come up.

thanks for the info man

Cmon tomorrow! Hey Knight one thought/question about this. What happens on the out of town scoreboards when you play a 7 PM game then go back and play another 7 PM game? Is the 2nd 7 PM game showing a score during your first game? Thanks

Got the game and tried this out! Started a franchise and played the Yanks/O's game at 2 PM EST, game was 5-4 NYY in the 6th, I then fastforwarded. Final 6-4 NYY. So I then started the Tex/Clev game 3 PM EST (1 hour behind NYY/BAL game). Fastforwarded to the 3rd and sure enough out on the leftfield wall it showed the Yanks up 5-4 in the 6th!!!! Then I fastforwarded to the 6th to be certain, and BINGO 6-4 Yanks FINAL. KUDOS to SCEA, EXCELLENT attention to detail. I was hoping this would be in, but somehow thought it might be hard to program!! It's there guys

So even the games you watch/play before your own will be correct on your scoreboard.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Man, for those that decide not to get this game, you will live to regret it!!!!! I mean the ball physics, the fans leaving the stadium when their team is getting their arse kicked!! The commentary...............there was one point when Felix Hernandez pitched inside and a pitch later, Nick Punto grounds out and as he is walking back to his dugout, Felix and Punto start going at it, and their mentioned that it was probably in regards to the inside pitch. Also, bad fielders will mis-judge fly balls, I had one start in, then go back, then in again and the ball goes behind him all the way to the wall. Tell you guys u owe it to yourself and to the guys at SCEA....................Go pick it up

Most beautiful, realistic baseball game I've ever played.

Honestly, this game may, MAY be perfect.

I am not sure about perfect. But imo, best sports game I have ever played.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

played about 8 games since lastnight and my only gripe so far is I still feel like the AI infielders are way to good at diving and sliding to get to hits. Playing with the Pirates vs the Nats and Ronnie Belliard robbed me of 2 absolute shots right up the middle, one he slid on his knees and jumped up n threw me out with a laser and the other he dove and snowconed my rip. And the nats 3rd baseman Zimmerman robbed me of my rope down the 3rd base line with an absolute incredible dive. I could be wrong but Belliard and Zimmerman are not exactly gold glove defenders. I just feel plays like this happen way too often..Now if Jeter or pedroia robbed me a few times then I wouldnt gripe...but it just feels like even the average or below average defensemen are able to do what golden glovers can
