Good read, very excited for the show as always. This is why I keep my PS3.

You spelled field wrong in your avatar and I am pretty sure that is not a pic from the actual game. Just a heads up!

Re: FIRST MLB 09 PREVIEW!

I hope they have his windup in MLB 09 as good as 2K7 had it....

CC's pitching motion in The Show 08 and the prior games is hilarious. I can't even watch it without laughing. Who on earth did the mo-cap for that? Ray Charles? It's off in every way possible. There is no way a human being with functional eyes could watch CC pitch, then imitate it, and have it come out looking that terrible.

The Show has never been able to match the MLB 2K series when it comes to pitching motions, batting stances, and player rituals. It's not even close, 2K blows them out of the water. It's too bad the rest of 2K's game game sucks.

I wish there was a way to steal the stances and pitching motions from 2K and insert them into The Show.

I would love an update of where they are at with stances/pitching motions.

Re: MLB '09: The Show Preview

How could you live in America and not like baseball? I always say that if you don't like baseball, then you don't understand it. Best game ever invented. A thinking man's game, which is why most Americans probably don't like it.

When my students ask me what my favorite sport is, and I tell them baseball, they look at me like I am an alien from another planet. I guess it's a generational thing. It must have been great to grow up back in the day, when every kid in America wanted to be a baseball player when the grew up. There wasn't any other major sport worth playing.

Well said!

Re: FIRST MLB 09 PREVIEW!

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'm willing to take it though.
