    BTW - I HATE to say this but watching the AS game last night Hoffman threw a pitch and I was expecting to see the little gray strike zone box pop up.

    MLB 09: The Show - OH - It's THAT Good!
    Controlling no team and watching the game like a broadcast is great.

      Yeah that is the part that dazed and confused me. After reading that comment that his sound was changed I am still dazed and confused, but I believe him. I don't think my TV doesn't does that.

        Like I said, I kinda got it right after I posted that I didn't get it. His TV probably has a setting that will change the color settings as well as the audio settings for optimal quality. I'm assuming it increases the bass or something like that on his TV's "sports" mode setting. Mine only changes the picture settings, but I have some logitech PC speakers connected to it so I just turn those on and mute the TV and it sounds good.

          That makes sense. So if you put it on sports it probably would give the voices clearer.

            Yeah, you guys understand now. I'm surprised that some people don't have that feature. My TV was relatively cheap($650 CAD). Can't belive it took me that long to dicover this. Just figured "game" mode was best for gaming. I have yet to try it out with any other game yet, as I am medically addicted to the Show. Now when I flip it back to game mode I can't belive the difference! Example: I used to have trouble seeing grounders down the line due to the light dirt, but now no prob. The sound is clearer and more authentic. Sounds just like watching a real broadcast. The sounds are more pronounced and independant of each other. For instance, the crowd cheering is more trebley(word?)(treble) and the voice of the announcers is more booming, or if you prefer bassy(). I've got a feeling for those that do not have this feature that their TV automatically optimizes picture and sound. So not to worry. If you do have it I suggest playing around a bit. Hasn't seemed to help my hitting though.
            BTW no worries for the doubters.:wink: Peace

                  I fooled with them a little bit. I actually just tried some settings I found on AVS's forums.
