Hello fellow discouraged Astro fan. I am using 09, but not because I went back, I just refuse to pay full price for a video game I am only going to get to play once a week.

Out of fear beacuse I plan to play 10 next year, and curiosity, I have to ask what is wrong with 10?

I went back to 09 for my franchise which I just can't give up on. I have 10 and enjoy it with friends but its too hard to start a new franchise in it when I have dedicated so much time to my 09 one. Both play very similar games to the point I can't really tell (other than graphics, I know the fielding supposed to be better but I play auto fielding so I don't really care).

Also Houston where did you live in the city. I live in Midtown right next to downtown. Had tickets for today's game but couldn't go.

I couldn't go back. I like 10 too much.

I don't care that I have a half finished season just sitting there in 09.

im still playing 09. i gotta finish my season before i jump to 10. this is partly due to me not having any money to buy 10 yet.

Re: Who's still playing THE SHOW 09?

Normally I skip a year on some sports titles depending on what is added. I played 07 and then waited for 09. The difference between those two was great, but I had fun playing 07 in franchise for 6 seasons turning around the Royals.
This year I went for 10 because of the things they added. Now their is alot to be fixed, online leagues could be great, but majorly bugged. Some issues in the other game modes as well that need another patch or 2.

That being said, If you are looking for a more in depth franchise mode, this is the year. They finally added things like the playoff game for ties on divisions/wildcards. The 30 team control is great as well. You can customize much more this year. Just do minor things like cancel unreal trades(Pujols and others traded for nothing. You can go all out and make every decsion you want, like editing a teams rotation. That one comes in handy during a playoff series, when the CPU always used a 5 man rotation. Instead if their ace is ready to go in game 4, you can edit it to have them pitch him and give more of a challenge.

So its really up to what you like. If you rather wait for the price to come down, worried about the bugs or just not that big on franchise issues. Then you can hold out. If some of the new stuff is appealing(I have been waiting for some things since 07, so this year was worth it) then its well worth the money.

If just playing online is your thing, leagues I would say are not worth it yet. They have potential, but still badly bugged. If you just like playing people online, the lag is a lot better this year. Only had a few bad lag games, with the occasional freeze.

There are those who would argue that PSP users are still playing '09...

Re: Who's still playing THE SHOW 09?

Could never go back to 09 with the ridiculous CPU trades and signings mangling the league into unrecognizable form

my last 09 franchise ended with St. Louis releasing Pujols. the Mets sign Pujols and then release Reyes. the Yankees release Jeter and then sign Reyes.

I am still playing 09, simply because I refuse to spend 60 plus dollars on a game that is almost exactly alike as last year. I'm a college student so money is tight, I'll definitely have to wait until I find it cheap somewhere. It's a shame that games cost so much these days for some updated rosters and small features. That being said, if I were to spend any 60 bucks on a game again it would be the show, certainly not another Madden.

Re: Who's still playing THE SHOW 09?

I just ordered 10 but I only have 18 games left in my 09 season and I am trying to finish that up. I should be able to while I wait for RazR's pitching edits to Knights file

09? Hell, I'm still playing my 08 franchise with the Pirates! I bought 10, but it's going to sit there until I finish this season. I'm 50-45 and just 1.0 game back of the wildcard. I REALLY want to get the Pirates to the playoffs...I MUST finish my mission!
