Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Sorry for the confusion, I was disturbed by the 2nd baseman not picking up the ball. The shortstop was covering 2nd. But the 2nd baseman clearly should have picked the ball up.

Aww OK....... now I understand the entire situation :wink:

I agree that the 2B should of picked up that ball but I wouldn't worry because I'm confident that they fixed something that noticeable in the final build

Just saying that the 1B animation wasn't pretty to begin with makes me think that the entire result was a glitch from the start

Hey at least the catcher didn't run out to field it :wink:

I had kind of a weird one in the last game I played. I hit a VERY HIGH pop up between 1st and 2nd base...the RF ended up making the catch on the infield dirt. Odd.

? for the guys who went to San Diego. Is the commentary in the demo watered down or is it pretty much what we will get in the finished game?

There was more diversity in the full version. But it was not entirely new.

We had to ask about commentary.....it was very loud in the room. 5 games going....10-15 people howling....screaming...crying(okay...only one guy crying)...
So I asked about commentary.
The audio guy(I'm very sorry...I forgot his name)....said they added a good amount of new commentary(to an already pretty big base!)...and also playoff/world series specific stuff.

That's all I got to go on...I did strain to listen and heard some new stuff and it seemed less redundant. Granted...it was only 10-15 games though.

I was pitching and decided to play around with the video settings on my TV, after about 30 seconds they showed the home plate and my catcher chatting with the rays batter, few seconds after the the dude starts playing his bat like it was a guitar with my catcher cheering him on, the crowd went nuts. After that stopped, few seconds later they cut to the phanatic green guy thing...

The hotfoot is my fave in the demo.
Anyone see the grenade throw?

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I have to say I am pretty disappointed in the fact they didn't make collision detection a bigger priority espcially at second base. This seems like way too big of a part of the game to ignore.

I just slid straight through a player on back to back at bats trying to break up the double play. Very annoying.

Like I said I don't see how this wasn't made a top priority. Lots of exciting things can happen on broken up double plays.

I know this may sound harsh but to me for a baseball game on these advanced consoles in 2009 to not have collision detection is not acceptable at all. Alot older baseball games on far less powerful systems had this. PLEASE FIX THIS FOR NEXT YEAR.

That is what annoyed me so last year and for it to the same and to see it again since the play at second IS a play that happens alot during the game is kinda sad for me.

I'm very much appreciative of the progressive lighting and the better texture quality this year though however the "gameplay" is like last years. Solid but not well documented in camera angles again...


To be BRUTALLY honest I've played the show on ps3 2 years in a row and now with 09 I wanted a really big improvement. Lighting and stadium detail are fine and a few hundred more animations are great but I'm doubtful it'll be the amazing game that mlb 10 will be next year with it's player models and hit detection in place.

It looks like neither game has collision detection for 09. The adjustable camera is a nice addition to MLB 2k though. The show has a lot of camera angles in the game that they use for development purposes, it would be nice if they carried it over to the retail version.

Tie game, Top 7, the Rays (CPU) just put on a suicide squeeze on me and it worked.

Didn't see that last year at all.
