Re: MLB 09 The Show Blog: Road To The Show Enhancements

yeh he sure does, same with the player on the edit mode screen, now we need to see the white wrist tape.

Just think how much better that pic can be if the players had different shoes and glove colors.

I remember ASB had a "prospect book" type thing where players would end up "in the game" but not on a MiL roster until you chose them to be so. They would leave said book once they gained Rule V eligibility. I would presume there would be something like that.

Perhaps...
Not bad(if they give you a decent amount of slots)...but Single A would have been MUCH better.
We'll see in a couple of days.

I would not even mind a single A that was not playable, just simmed ala HH.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Blog: Road To The Show Enhancements

I agree that A would've been preferable. I could see them adding a bunch of MiL levels next year now that, really, there's not much else to add to franchise at this point.

Wow. It seems like every grievance I had with RTTS has been fixed. I am pleased.

Same here. The only thing missing is the ability to play the whole game instead of just plays you are part of like PYS game. No biggie but wish it was an option.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Blog: Road To The Show Enhancements

With the RTTS can you play every pitch? Last year I rented the game briefly and everything just simmed until I batted or a ball was hit to me in the field.

I was just wondering if you can play the whole game - every pitch - in RTTS.

thanks!

Nope. We are probably in the minority but I really wish SCEA would give us the option. technically evey play whether you are directly involved in the play or not, you have a place to be etc...
Again not a biggie but hopefully '10 will have it.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Blog: Road To The Show Enhancements

I was really hoping they were going to expand on the fielding aspect of the game. I would love to have the option to play every out in the field as the short stop. Knowing that the ball is coming to your at every fielding instance is boring and does nothing to keep you on your toes.

Having to run out as the cut off, or backing up bases would add to the experience. To me, there could be so much more to fielding. And the RTTS for the catcher needs to be addressed. I would love to be able to call the game.

Totally agree. It would add a lot to the "feel" if you could. I'm confident though that SCEA will add it if they get enough interest.

Eyeblack, sunglasses, gloves in the backpockets...If they they have white/black wristbands (or taped wrists) I'll be ecstatic (not that I'm not already)



EDIT: I think the player on the far right does have the black taped wrists

Is that batting gloves in #5's back pocket?

Also remember guys. They have added a ton to this year's game. They can only add so much in a year.

I was afraid that was the way it was. I was really thinking about getting a PS3 for this game but this pretty much killed that idea. It would be very cool if they did add this because I would like to have to play every pitch as a second baseman.

Thanks for answering! Much obliged.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Blog: Road To The Show Enhancements

This all sounds great! The only unanswered question I have is if we'll be able to play in/go to Spring Training while signed to a multi-year contract. I always ended up not resigning(if it was even possible) with my current team and going to a different team just so that I could get the extra points from Spring Training. I'd really prefer to sign a multi-year contract though...it just wasn't beneficial to do so.

I'm hoping that the calendar element of the offseason mentioned for Franchise mode is also carried over because then you can't just jump to April. And since Arbitration seems to be tied to the calendar in February and doesn't take place in the "offseason", it looks like it has and seems logical to assume that we will be able to. I just haven't heard yay or nay to this.

Re: Producer Blog: RTTS FE/General

Why do they continue to torture me and not support all three levels of the Minors? I want my single A, darnit! This game gets so close to MVP, then does this too me. It's not fair I tells ya! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!

*Cries*

My pre-order is still there, right?

Re: Producer Blog: RTTS FE/General

RTTS is one game mode I'm extremely excited to play. It's like another game inside the game.

And I thought my excitement for this game couldn't get any more severe...

Re: Producer Blog: RTTS FE/General

This just keeps getting better and better. RTTS was really great when I first got the game as it tided me over until Knight's rosters were released. It is really like buying 2 seperate games.

Fantastic Now We can follow team rules, No beards if I get drafted by the yankees. aha
Nothing like a clean shave in the spring, only to convert to a pine tar beard once August rolls around. Wristband colors need to be in. All others are extremely nice
