Impressions:

4 innings?! what happened to a FULL GAME? pfffft.

Lighting effects -- awesome.

can't hit a thing! FAIL! I need to slide some dem sliders.

regardless of my own failsauce abilities, pitching and the swing of the bat seem SO much more fluid. I didn't think there was much to improve on, I was wrong -- they improved it!

Not much else to say....only 4 innings....not much time to make a lot of impressions from.

That's why you have to play it about 50-100 times like most of use here have

I was using the I guess "Zone" hitting with "X" mostly. If I saw a huge meatball coming right down the center I would PowerSwing at it.

I find for the most part that Offset gives me an earlier indication of ball/strike. I don't swing at everything, I've gotten way better at checks and not swining at garbage outside of the zone.

It's not that I can't hit, i just can't get the ball out of the park that often.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, just something I'll need to work on in Practice like Scott Said.

Woo hoo! Another convert to offset. I LOVE that camera angle. I'm glad it's working out for a few more guys here. The beauty of it all? If the game gets "too easy" for you, you can always switch back to the default camera angle and screw up your timing again.

P.S. Scott smells.

Cool, you should be a lock for sucking with online games when you have to switch back! AND don't bring up that non swinging home run again!

I get what you're saying, but at the same time I'm not sure I can bring myself to play a 4 inning game that many times, especially when it's the same exact matchup of the same two teams over and over again.

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

Baserunning is lacking, and is there any way to manual switch outfielders when fielding? There have been a couple occassions where the game gives me control of the SS on a slow bouncer up the middle, where the 2nd baseman would have a better shot at it. Also the same with a couple balls hit in the gaps in the outfield.

I didn't notice any MAJOR changes with 09 from 08!
