    MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

    Gamespy has posted their preview of MLB 09 The Show.

    "While gameplay looks to be fairly similar to last year's version of The Show, Sony meticulously improved the visuals. Lighting garnered the most attention, with shadows more prevalent and more realistic effects everywhere. Whether it's the bill of a player's cap or the sun ducking behind the stadium at dusk, shadows are more noticeable and actually have an effect on the look and feel of the game, changing as the game goes on. Also changing throughout the games will be the condition of the fields themselves, which will show wear and tear throughout the season in franchise mode."

                bit of a bummer that the pitching mini-games didnt make it in for RTTS....that sounded like it could be fun and improve your pitchers career mode

                      I found this kind of funny


                      However, at least one of those celebrations might be removed, thanks in part to the cover athlete. Pedroia took his turn playing the game as the Red Sox (of course) against the Yankees in Fenway. When the pint-sized second baseman took his first turn in the box as himself, virtual Pedroia took CC Sabathia deep over the Green Monster. As his character crossed home plate, he went into a hand-slapping routine with David Ortiz that was entertaining to watch but not quite in character with how the no-nonsense Pedroia goes about his business. After witnessing the choreographed display, Pedroia quickly blurted out, "Hey, I don't do any of that!" So, don't expect the second baseman and Big Papi to play patty-cake when the final version of MLB 09: The Show is released.

                        Excellent!
                        Loving the pitchers wearing their jackets.
                        Nice little touch!

                          Wow, NICE!

                          Good to hear they listen to the cover athletes, and they probably add even more to the game for the "little things" as well as other advice.

                            And there's our answer of how batting practice is going to be implemented - as a part of RTTS. Cool - it'll be nice to have some substance to the training instead of just selecting points in a menu.
