I agree with all except the first one. Collision detection only adds to the realism of the game. It also makes a game look a lot more polished. I don't want to see my player running through a second baseman on the steal. Other then that I agree with everything else.

Or worse running through walls...Collision detection is one of the things that I expected when these sorts of games were developed for the next gen (now current gen) consoles

You really need to consider your word choices more carefully.

Although you did make a true statement.

I said "sensual" and not "sexual," correct?

Maybe it was still the wrong word choice.

I see no need at all to mess with the pitcher/batter interface. It is the best I've ever experienced!

Skeletal proportions look the exact same, although you can see more visual detail overall.

Thanks...thats exactly what I wanted to confirm.

Its too bad though because player models and collision detection are the two areas that are holding this game back from almost perfection

the player models don't bother me as much, though I wouldn't mind them being redone, but collision detection is a must. I am hoping that its been included this year.

I have never been this excited for a video game. Is it March yet?

I agree with you on this. The player models dont bother me at all. I not saying they dont need improvement but it's not as important as collision detection to me.

how about in game sports ticker based on your actual franchise. asb baseball did this so well! haven't seen it done that well since. 2k did it a few years back but only during pause menu or idol game period. the ticker needs to be added.
in addition, in asb baseball, it would start of a game clear and then begin to snow or rain. No game since has done this well.
i also hope active in game bullpens are there...

Yes, that adds to the game. Anyone recommend a FREE music editor that will crop songs?

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

There are only 3 things that I hope were added this year and if at least 2 of them were I will be be very happy and consider this game almost perfect in my eyes

#1 Collision Detection with players at all the bases (especially HOME)

#2 Ability to charge in on a ball and unleash a strong throw to any base on the dead run with no momentum killing "slam on the breaks" animation

#3 Ability to choose your batting style as an option on any difficulty level


If all 3 of these were added I will personally send SCEA a gift basket
