        Haha, I also used to have this one when I was a kid. This was my "PSP" of the past that I used to take everywhere!

            I tried the baseball games but could never figure out when to swing...so I moved to football games. The first one I played was the one that had the little red dashes that were the players that you moved up and down and could make move faster. But I was very impressed when pong came out...

            btw i am 44 and cant believe these new generation games

                      I'm 32. I've been playing baseball games since I can remember, back to some terrible, now nameless game that I loved anyway because it had Jody Davis on the Cubs back in '84.

                      Anyway, baseball was my favorite sport growing up. I played it and studied it, and I always dreamed of a game that incorporated all those real life nuances that make baseball the great sport that it is.

                      This is that game. I didn't want to judge too quickly out of the box, so I have given it somewhere between 20-30 games to make sure that what I saw initially was not a fluke. It wasn't. This game includes virtually all of the things I used to precede with the words, "Wouldn't it be cool if. . . ." That's not hyperbole. That's fact, and reading others' posts makes me realize I'm far from the only person who feels this way.

                      So if you're younger, and have, probably, much more time with this game than I ever will, consider yourself extremely lucky. If you play baseball competitively, you will learn from this game and become a better player. I firmly believe that.

                      Thanks to the development team for everything you have done. I'm continually amazed how representative this game is.
                      This game is the real.

                          I agree. It's a shame to see it rated two stars. I rated it a 5.

                            Wow, I was going to start a threat asking where this game ranks all-time vs. other baseball games and sports games -- considering some have said it's the best.

                            And to see at the top of this page, someone mentioned High Heat with Schilling on the cover. I was going to say this is the best baseball game since then. That game was great! A total simulation that was easy to pick up and play, was intuitive and could appeal to arcade and simulation lovers alike.

                            Since that High Heat, I've struggled to find a baseball game that let me do as much and just had as much detail. The simulation aspect was spot on, you could warm up your pitchers (something that, believe it or not was hard to find before and after High Heat) and it was just a ... relaxing experience. I wanted the 2K baseball games to be that, and I thought they had something when the ESPN license was in full use. I'm big on controlling any team's lineup whenever I wish and play any game I wish as the season progresses. A lot of games (ESPECIALLY MVP) did not provide that.

                            This MLB 09 does!

                            So, I ask two things:

                            1) Where does this game rank, baseball-wise?

                            In baseball titles, I think it's the best since High Heat with Schilling on the cover. (That game may have made the biggest improvement in one year than any game. High Heat the year before with Vlad on the cover was good on the PC, but horrendous on the PS2. Probably the worst baseball game I've ever played.) High Heat with Schill was great, but technology gets better, and MLB does so accordingly.

                            2) Where does this game rank among all sports games?

                            This is where I disagree from what I've read. I think last year's NBA 2K8 and College Hoops 2K8 were the best sports gaming experiences I've had. Nothing may beat NBA Live 96 for me, but going with progression -- and my love for basketball -- I loved those two hoops games last year. Those rank No. 1, but MLB 09 is definitely the prettiest game ever. And you know what, baseball games should be the prettiest.
                            After more than eight years on here, I finally figured out how to edit my time zone!

                              I turn 24 in 8 days and yes i do consider myself lucky. My first baseball game was bases loaded on the NES and i thought then it was the greatest game i had ever played. Fast forward and i can simply say i am currently playing the greatest baseball game of my time. I dont know how scea will top this next year, but i am FAR from worrying about it at this point.

                                In terms of baseball games, and sports games in general, MLB 09 wins by a large margin. And that's coming from a guy who prefers hockey to baseball, and who up until now thought that NHL09 was the best sports game ever.

                                This game is so good that it's making me question whether I do actually prefer hockey to baseball. The more I play it, the more I appreciate baseball as a sport.
