Can someone sim a season or two in franchise and post some impressions? Like how are the trades, free agents, injuries, etc.

For those of you who bought both, which one would you say has better hitting mechanics? I owned both last year and liked the show better because 2k was a mess, but I really had a tough time with hitting in the show last year. Every friggin pitch looked like a strike and there was no way to tell what kind of pitch until it was too late. I played 2k demo and you could at least tell a ball from a strike. What do you all think?

Also, can you use the pitcher view in online games? I know you cant in the show and it really is cool being able to use that when you are pitching.

Not good news considering NCAA and Madden's release problems. They turned out better after patches but to say it's up there are one of the worst is not good. Hopefully the issues can be patched. Pasta usually knows his stuff so to hear this from here isn't very encouraging on release day.

I'm also curious as to what happens when you sim a franchise. Franchise mode will make or break me buying this team.

Re: ***Official MLB 2K9 Retail Version Impressions***

Well that's good to know. I still like it. I guess if people have the option of the show there shouldn't be any debate, but I am still liking the game and I don't think I'll really get tired of it soon.

I still think part of it for me is that I haven't played any "recent" baseball game until 2k9, so for me a lot of this is really new.

VikingFan, for you, I will sim through a year in chise right now. I have the time, only preparing for midterms . Keep in mind at school I have no internet, so the patch has not been applied, so if I go into the offseason don't trust my results. I'll start simming and post results when completed.
