    At least that's not a PS2 issue. It's a Sony issue. Unlike the other bugs which are happening because of development troubles with the PS3.

      Re: PS2 Impressions thread

      I play with roster control off so I can't check up on this but are the lineups going wacky in franchise like in the PS3 version? I did notice that they were screwed up on default so I fixed them but am unable to see if they switched back once I started the franchise. Anybody know?

        Wait. Are we both talking about the schedule issue?

          I got 09!!!

          Will post impressions later.

          So pumped.

          I got 2k9 and was mortified by the AI issues, went back to The Show 08 and was stunned by how much better a last gen title can be.

          2k should be ashamed and I doubt I ever give them money again.

            360 owner here. I've pretty much talked myself out of 2K9 (maybe a rental), so I'm thinking of getting 09 for PS2 (I desperately want the PS3 version but I don't think I can justify dropping all that $$$!!!). So a couple questions:

            - Franchise mode: is it as detailed/full-featured as the PS3 version? Are there things like 40-man roster, September call-ups, minor league options, etc? Are there any omissions or bugs about which I should know?

            - Roster glitch: is it present in the PS2 version?

            - Any other missing features?

            THANKS! After my two exams tomorrow I plan on rewarding myself with some 2009 video game baseball.

              Thanks to whoever answered my earlier question. This is still a great game. I guess I only have two concerns. One, how will this thing look now that I have it on an HDTV (either 26" or 42"). Some PS2 games, like PowerPros look pretty darn good, while other ones look distorted and are full of jaggies.

              Two, I remember loving the gameplay of The Show 07, but I thought the menus were a pain in the butt. There was no rhyme or reason to how FA's were sorted, and I spent a ton of time wasted in menus. Also, they used that energy bar system, as opposed to a simple number rating system.

                  Apparently the AI grossly mismanages the lineups and rotations for all CPU teams (or so I understand).

                    The glitch is not there. Tried it out last night. Also, Kolbe confirmed a few weeks ago they had addressed it.

                        So the only thing is schedules. It's impossible to patch the game without a HD so i'm guessing PS2 owners are left out. Oh well, great game anyways and I'll be buying soon.

                          Awesome. I can live with last-gen graphics with great gameplay and a $30 price tag.

                            So it is in fact true that the schedules are messed up? I haven't looked in franchise/season mode yet. But if it is.....most cubs home games being played at night? Thats pretty lame.

                            ...and I cant believe the rosters aren't working yet. I mean it seems like it was the same problem as the PS3 and they have had those fixed for a while now. I think they probably just said screw it for the PS2 and PSP roster update. Well probably just have to wait until the next one is released.

                              Can you check if the schedule problem is on the PS2 version? Nobody has actually checked yet.

                                If you can tell me the exact details of what I'm looking for then I will go and check. Is it the start times that are not correct?
