Quote:

"Hey everyone, Aaron Luke (Designer) here to bring you the next installment of the MLB 09 The Show. This entry will focus on the enhancements to Road To The Show. This year’s edition of RTTS has received enhancements to nearly every aspect of the mode. Starting with the front-end aspects, the PS3 Create Player system has received some new editions that will allow you to customize even more aspects of your player. With the new Sounds Of The Show feature, we’ve been able to support audio customizations that will allow you to pick not only your batter walkup music, but also your reliever entry music and a home run celebration song. In addition to editing custom music, you can also create custom fan chants, cheers, and jeers to assign to your player (or any other player using the Edit Player feature). The player accessories have also seen upgrades to support a variety of new items including: wrist tape, batting gloves in pockets, glasses, eye black, baggy pants, and stirrup socks for your old schoolers. But the player customization doesn’t end with the Create Player process — we’ve also added in the ability to edit your player any time after creation. You won’t be able to edit his position or attributes, but you will have full reign on editing his appearance, accessories, and the all-important player number."

they were both AA teams in the screenshots... does this mean no single A teams in game...? =(

anyhoo, that minor league stadium looked real good.

for rob, man i just get the feeling we will be able to chose colors for the wrist tapes, not the other acessories...
i think that cause in every screen i saw them , they were black, and i think white should be an option too.

It looks like you can't change the color of the accessories.

Looking good. Happy to hear we can now edit the amount of time we spend watching pitches or playing the field. I hope the new base running controls are responsive - I always felt I couldn't get back to the bag in time if I took a sizeable lead from 1st.
