MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

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.

Well ASB had them(awesome)...

..and MVP and 2K had the cut scene showing the pitchers warming up.

It's nice to not get "shocked" when you see that brief....overhead-pull away shot all of a sudden and realize you're getting a pinch hitter or relief pitcher put in the game.

Just a brief..."and so and so has grabbed a bat...it looks like he'll be hitting for so and so"(with a brief cut scene) and a quick cut scene of the RP warming up and a brief word from the announcers would go a LONG way to helping in this area.
We'll see! in a couple of days.:wink:

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.

Think about the difference between watching a ball game on TV and actually going to the ballpark, and you might reconsider.

Hm, weird, no pitching work in RRTS... You'd figure they'd implement pitching and batting, and then work on fielding and baserunning, rather than batting or baserunning. C'est la vie. I might pick up a PS3 pretty much for this game (and some other stuff, but mostly for this game)

I read yesterday that 2k is putting in a real time living world on their game this year. Meaning that the players walking to and from the dugouts and pitchers warming up in the bullpen and all that great stuff will just happen around you in real time without cut scenes. That sounds awesome and a step in the right direction. Maybe next year The Show will have that.

MVP had them and so did the Show last year. The only problem with the Show's last year was that they only show your guys and if you wanted to see the CPU you had to take control of the team and put them in the bullpen. Then you would see them.

Yeah...but not an option in MoM(I hope they gave us control of both teams this year though! )
