MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

08:00 PM - January 23, 2009 by Steve_OS

Gamespy has posted their preview of MLB 09 The Show.

Quote:


	"While gameplay looks to be fairly similar to last year's version of The Show, Sony meticulously improved the visuals. Lighting garnered the most attention, with shadows more prevalent and more realistic effects everywhere. Whether it's the bill of a player's cap or the sun ducking behind the stadium at dusk, shadows are more noticeable and actually have an effect on the look and feel of the game, changing as the game goes on. Also changing throughout the games will be the condition of the fields themselves, which will show wear and tear throughout the season in franchise mode."

Just a brief..."and so and so has grabbed a bat...it looks like he'll be hitting for so and so"(with a brief cut scene) and a quick cut scene of the RP warming up and a brief word from the announcers would go a LONG way to helping in this area. We'll see! in a couple of days. M.K. Knight165

I read yesterday that 2k is putting in a real time living world on their game this year. Meaning that the players walking to and from the dugouts and pitchers warming up in the bullpen and all that great stuff will just happen around you in real time without cut scenes. That sounds awesome and a step in the right direction. Maybe next year The Show will have that.

Yeah...but not an option in MoM(I hope they gave us control of both teams this year though! )
