It was so funny when MLB Network started. I would see Vasgersian talking and immediately feel like I was playing The Show.

Well if you think about it, it should be subtle if the sun is right above you. The angles won't be as accented as they are when the sun is going down, simply because of the position of it... so they won't move as much.

Agree with you, it was very subtle.

Shoooot no.

Not by a long shot 'round here.

I folded as well.

There appears to be more depth and separation now with the new lighting. The ball hit over the LFers head I saw noticeable distance between the fielder and the wall.

I thought the same thing when I saw this while playing.

Yea one thing that I think is very important is more doubles hit over OFer's heads. I know they added that last year but it didn't seem to happen nearly as much as it should have.

The daytime lighting now looks unbelievable. Before, day games just felt like a video game in a virtual world. Now, they look like an actual ballgame during a summer day.

Also forgot to mention that there is definitely better ball collision detection going on. One team all three of us saw the SS, CF, LF try to go after a ball and the ball bounced between them and came up and hit one of the players faces and bounced off.

So this is another aspect that makes it seem more real. Balls can get kicked and smothered on dives and such.

I got that 2K7 feeling when we played using the broadcast cam, it looked like the 2K7 cam.

It does seem similar. Of course, that is, without the framerate problems as the camera pans across the diamond.

Can't wait to see a batted ball get smothered instead of the same animation where it hits of the glove and just stops rolling.

Ugh I can't wait for this game to come out...

I'll clarify some things on the pitching meter. Due to complaints B Ma took a look at the pitching meter and the result based on your input heres what he did. He tuned the meter so that its now harder to hit the sweat spot in contrast when you hit the sweet spot your pitches will no go more in the general area that you targeted. Now you also have to take into consideration the pitchers confidence, the confidence of the pitch being used, and the pitchers attributes for that said pitch.

In our game we were both pitching extremely well but we left some runs out there on the field you will still hang pitches and B Ma only tweaked the system the pitching in our game is still not an exact science and it never will be. Its designed that way, even when you are feeling it in a game you will still have those pitches where you do everything right and its still a good pitch to hit. When everyone gets a chance to play the game we think you will like the tweaks and changes that where made to the pitching aspect of the game.

I'm interested to see for myself how this works out. I was really happy with the way the meter was done last year. I felt that control could have been slightly more erratic, but using my RTTS pitchers, I've been walking 60-70 batters a season.

Is the broadcast camera available for Home Run Derby? I noticed you didn't use it in the videos.

Also am I the only person who bought a PS3 JUST for The Show? My friends ripped on me dropping, back then, $400 on a system for one game. To me it was an easy decision.

I did the same thing. For years, I refused to buy any baseball games because MVP 2005 was "never to be topped" and "the greatest sports video game of all-time" and i was furious that my baby had been taken away from me (along with the 2K NFL series might I add)

so for 4 years I boycotted baseball video games because "nothing could come close to MVP"

...but then... I got tempted to do a little research and after reading these forums and watching gameplay trailers, I decided I could not deprive the baseball fan in me any longer. and so I said "who needs groceries in college?" and put down 400+ dollars for a PS3 and The Show 09.

I struggled with it for a while, and questioned my financial investment. but once I got the hang of it, I fell in love. The passion grew. finally, I realized that MVP 2005 was not the one.

The rest is history.

The default camera was used at the beginning and then you'll notice he changed it midway thru first vid to have it kind of follow behind the ball. Not sure if it was called broadcast.
