Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

far as i'm concerned the crowd could be cardboard cutout characters, i say put all the cpu power to work on the baseball field.

100% disagree with you also!

The better the crowd looks and acts the more realistic the game is on a whole.

In future games I really hope we see vendors walking around selling food and drinks

And also fans holding up all kinds of signs like "GO Phillies" or "Mets are chokers"

Maybe users could create there own custom signs?

Sounds more like a $20 download content/update for Playstation Network. Not a $60 game! I have not seen anything in regards to new minor league stadiums, are we going to still have to play in Wagon Wheel Stadium again like the last 3+ years?

New minor league stadiums have been confirmed.

Although other "important" things like mound charging and rain delays have yet to be approved.

Not only confirmed, but it's confirmed they have doubled the amount of minor league ballparks.

But like you said, more important features like real-time flags waving in all different directions and umpires farting as they squat weren't included. Maybe next year.

sorry, nothing personal, but you are the reason why sports-game like madden are s*** year in and year out.

A game like mlb the show (08) doesn't need major tweaks and spectacular features! it's only a sports-game, the rules are basically the same every year. you need a great core and build from that. But EA and other developers don't get that far, because they feel they have to add major features for a game to be worth the money.

real-time flags waving in all different directions would be super great!

Jackets on pitchers, sunglasses, and eyeblack.

FINALLY those issues can be sent into retirement along side Adam Laroche's batting stance...

It is the "Little Things" that make this game freaking amazing!

I agree. The little details are great. Is it March 3rd yet?

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

I'm excited about the batting practice in RTTS. While I wish pitching and more so fielding training would be included, It's a huge step in the right direction.

Yes, having a visual of wind strength and direction would be great!

So far, the first two stadium vids did...

Know one did but its not very likely

Sony only has so many people and time to do all these "little things"

Here's hoping for MLB 2010 The Show!

For me the 2 most disappointing things that do not look like they made it into 09 are Ball Boys/Ball Girls sitting on chairs and getting the foul balls and Pitchers,Catchers and coaches in real time in the bullpens

I hope we at least get to see the CPU's pitcher warming up in the bullpen in 09.

Yeah real time bullpens were some old game. I can't remember exactly which one. You could watch the pitchers warm up and then bring them in when they were ready. That was really cool.
