    Re: MLB '09: The Show Preview

    Now lets get some proper player progression in Franchise Mode and this game will be 10/10

    Last year, players developed uber power stats and nil contact attributes

            Great info, sounds like we're in store for some amazing stuff from SCEA San Diego next year, I can't wait!!!

            I just really don't understand why every year, when I see write ups and reviews of the latest batch of baseball titles, 9 times out of 10 the author feels the need to tell you how much he (or she) dislikes baseball. I am baffled by how unprofessional it is. I never see that in any reviews for other types of sports games (nothing against Golf, but it's a pretty slow moving game, yet even Tiger gets proper respect). Obviously the people that are interested in hearing about the game <b>DO LIKE BASEBALL!</b> The reviewer's job is to give us an overview of the game's details, frankly I don't give a crap about this person's personal feelings about the sport, it's really ridiculous.

            Regardless, I was real happy to see some info about the game. December is usually when I start getting excited about the next MLB game, this sure kicked it off with a bang. Can't wait to hear more soon (hopefully).

              The most important thing about the arb is that, if implemented correctly, it'll stop guys like Pedroia, Hamels etc hitting FA before six years of service. In that case, I can live with the unrealistic contracts.

                Oh my! My prayers have been answered! Pretty much everything that we asked for is coming this year! How amazing is that! Only thing I want to know is if there is a Homerun Derby, if my Belkin Wireless Router will work, and if Online Play has been given an overhaul! Wow, dammit! COME ON MARCH!!! I need a "Click" remote control to fast forward NOW!

                  I am not a huge baseball fan as I live in Australia where I dont get the chance too see many games on tv, and I cant wait for this game. 08 was excellent

                  I cant imagine how you guys are feeling waiting for the game, it looks like it is going to be amazing. I wish it would be released in Australia instead of buying overseas.

CC's a nice guy and I know he really wanted to play on the west coast....it's almost like he was forced to take the money....I hope they have his windup in MLB 09 as good as 2K7 had it....

                            all I'm waiting on is to here they have:

                            Waivers
                            Option years for minor leaguers
                            Rule 5 draft

                            And I'll be happy as can be.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                                Info looks good, I hope the new visuals got rid of the T-Rex arms on each player. The custom crowd chants has a ton of potential, though the article says you need to do it with a mic - I wonder if you can load MP3's on to your PS3 and do it that way as well.

                                Day/night progression is going to be a very big welcome too, that adds a lot to the game.
