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

I haven't played a baseball game in years because I didn't like where 2k was going with their game. A few months ago I broke down and bought a PS3. All I can say is, thanks to this game that purchase is worth every dime. The demo just blew me away. The amount of detail, the realistic gameplay, I could go on and on. Needless to say, I can't wait for the release.

Dude that is uncalled for. Who ever did this needs to grow up!!! I would give it to a mod. If we have people like this then they need to leave.

Scott, I sent you a PM!


For those that can't tell, this is a J-O-K-E.

earlier today I had a single hit against me into right field, got past howard as he dove for it. Howard was standing right where the infield meets the outfield grass after the dive. As I threw to 1st he got into the catch and tag position and glided from the outfield to about 2 feet away from 1st base, all while in that stance. I'm sure this is fixed but I have pics if anyone wants to see.

How many innings is in the Demo? I just read someone was in the 5th innings. My Demo alows me up to 4 innings.

I really hate to do this....


You guys really need to get this thread back on track. Enough talk of little girls and Pedophiles. Everytime I come in here and issue a warning you guys do good for about 3 or 4 days, then someone else comes in and rattles some cages and gets everyone wound up again.

Keep it on topic. That goes for the regulars and the newcomers to this thread.

Final Warning.

that was ages ago. I think we're all over it...

Although I think the word "ages" is generous, I'll agree that I hope everyone is over it.

I'm really really bad at hitting the long ball in this game. I think that's a good thing though. Since I switched to the offset cam via Pared's suggestion, it's really opened up the hitting for me.

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

Do you just swing only, press X? And how do you judge pitches that might be out of the zone when in offset?

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

It's an absolute MUST to learn how to go with the pitch with the L stick. If you can't do that (it took a hundred plus games to finally get it down), then at the very least hold the L stick to a position in the area you think the ball will be and wait to swing when it will be in that area.

The release point of the pitcher's hand is absolute key to hitting in this game. If you know where the release point is (its different for every pitcher and whether they are in stretch or windup) then you'll be able to recognize pitches better and follow path of ball. I know this may sound like a simple thing but it really has made the difference for me.

I think the batting practice will help a lot. I plan on using that to get the hitting down.

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

I know this sounds crazy but has anyone found a slider set that makes the batting more like '08 ???

I love the new pitcher and batter interface but I miss the foul ball battles that I had in '08 when batting

I am a swing only guy and I need to be able to foul off more pitches to raise pitch counts...at this rate I will be having pitchers throw 80 pitch complete games against me because I can't make any contact

I'm not sure which slider to adjust.....I don't want every swing to result in a solid hit I just want to be able to make more contact to at least foul off pitches and make my AB's longer

There are just too many sliders that effect batting and I'm not sure which one to adjust....... I don't want to make hitting easier I just want to foul off more pitchers

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Same here. I have this nasty habit where I always aim low with my left stick when I swing. I'm really good at the low balls, but anything high and I miss it by a mile. I'm hoping some BP will help me out.
