Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Ok - Minor rant.....

The Trophies in this game are waaaayyyyy to RTTS oriented(I don't even play that mode) and outside of that they are few and far in between. That sucks. And to make matters worse - I just shut out the Phillies - At Citizens Bank - on Allstar...and for some reason I didn't get my much deserved trophy!!! The outrage!!! It's bad enough I probably won't get 95% of the trophies on this game..but when I do qualify for one...give it to me dangit!!!

That's all I got. LOVE this game.

keep em comin

Seems Rookie of the Year is still exclusively hitter's territory. I did a little experiment to make absolutely sure. I took a AAA SP with no ML experience, maxed out all his stats and placed him on the big league roster with Cleveland. He went 20-7 with a 2.49 ERA (1st in the league), struck out 244 (1st in the league) and walked 49 (fewest in the league amount qualifying starters). AL Rookie of the Year went to Texas's Taylor Teagarden, who hit .268 with 19HR, 57RBI and 49 runs scored. I hope they fix this next year.

Wow they did a lot of work with batting rituals for the stars. A lot more than last year. I love it. Great job with sig SCEA. This game truly amazes me! I love the jumbo trons and the mascots are great! WOW. This game is SOO much better than 08.

Oh one more thing great job on the angles of the out field.

Is anyone else loving the batting practice? I never really thought twice about it when it was announced as a feature, but what a nice little touch it turned out to be. It's almost relaxing to take BP in an empty park with the music playing. Not to mention all the help it's going to do for my game.

Agreed. At first I didn't understand why anyone would want this feature and figured I wouldn't touch it. I've already spent over an hour in that mode. Like you said, hitting in an empty stadium is a welcomed change.

I definitely LOVE this feature. It took a while for me to get the timing down with 08 but excited that they had it this year. What caught my attention when I was hitting BP at AT&T, there there were fans actually walking up and down the stairs. I don't know the little details just amaze me.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

MLB 09 feels more like MLB 8.5 to me...the main difference is the lighting, and the outfield angles on the ball...

Well to be honest, ever since news started to be released about this game, you have been relatively negative, so it could be that since certain things you did not want were in the game you would look as the game as a lesser version.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Batting practice kicks ***. I love that feature. The music in the back ground and me ripping balls out of the Park. It does help too. I had a much better game after.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

I'm slowly becoming more patient at the plate. I was striking out 12-15 times a game but now I'm down to 5-8. This game is so much more realistic than last year and I did not even think that was possible. My Dodgers suck. If I could only become more patient with Manny. I K with him almost every at bat. As someone stated early. Every picth counts on this game. By the way I play on AllStar no slider adjustments. GOTY imo. Peace!!!

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

Waiting for rosters I want to use so I'm messing around with sliders and playing a Yanks at CUBS game to pass time. Entering it into Blog.
Nothing formal as I'm just doing this to pass time and see some results...
