MLB '09: The Show Preview with Screenshots (ESPN Videogames)

[iamemmittsmith]

ESPN Videogames have posted their exclusive first look at MLB '09: The Show, including some new screenshots.

"Think A-Rod chokes in the clutch? Ever shout "Dodgers suck!" or yell "Drewwwwwww" when J.D. walks up to the plate? MLB 09 is about to bring out the crazed fan in all of us as not only can you record your voice screaming anything from "Where's Madonna?" to "we want a pitcher not a belly itcher" and put it in the game thanks to peripherals like the Rock Band mic and wireless headset, the fan yells will sound like your voice actually coming from the stands. You can even assign the recordings to be part of a chant and your voice will be put through a new process so that it sounds more like a crowd chanting "over-rated" and not just a single person yelling."

YES YES YES!!!!

Multi-Branch Fielding -- Branch Point Technology goes to a new level as gamers you can now take full control of fielders and break out of any animation in the process. Change a fielding decision and branch out of any animation after the first branch point.

That shot is a wow.
That lighting looks incredible.
September call ups...NICE.
Mikey.....I guess you got your field degradation
I hope they got the part about MLB updates in your game wrong to be franchise updates instead....

I'M READY!

See, this is why I told my wife that a PS3 was a great investment.

All the new stuff looks great, can't wait.

This is awesome!

I can't believe it. September call-ups, waivers, salary arbitration, etc. I could go on and on and on!

Most of the long list of features listed are the same as last year...nothing looks very much different from last year... I'm gonna have to see this game in action to notice a difference...

Is this a night-game? I don't really see a difference in the night-lighting from last year....where are the reflections on the helmet?

Will there be batting practice during season games? or is this just for the ovverated road to the show mode?

My lord.

That Fenway screen looks incredible.

J-Rob did a good job on the points.
