MLB 09 The Show Videos: Early Look at New Yankees & Citi Field Stadiums

[baa7]

- Great videos; beautiful detail.
- Player models with the wide square shoulders are really looking dated.
- Pitcher animations (ball jumping sideways out of the hand) still haven't been fixed, too bad.
- On a side note, check out the blocked view seats in Yankee Stadium, 1 minute into the vid. The poor saps in the upper third of the section can't see the field beyond 1st/3rd base. Terrible design gaff, given the money they spent building that place.

These vidz look fantastic, but I was wondering. Has anyone played MLB 2k7, I thought that game had the best day/dusk/night progression. Do you think MLB 09 will be better, from the looks of the 2 vidz I can't tell yet. I hope so.

[ehh]

Visually the videos are fantastic and since SCEA said this is a build before the updated animations I'd say we are flying right on course so far.

I made a post about that earlier too (not the same seats, but you know). Is the stadium really going to be like that?

I love how the camera pans out and zooms in on the HR's on both videos. Just like a real broadcast. Love it!!

Oh yeah. I found a seating chart for the new stadium online. If you draw a line from the back seats thru the front corners of the restaurant wall and continue on to home plate, it shows that dozens of seats on either side of the restaurant won't be able to see any action beyond 1st and 3rd base as I said. And from what I read on the YES network forum, it was a design oversight that nobody picked up on until after construction was underway.

EDIT: Here's the seating chart. And if it's accurate, then people sitting against the LF side of the restaurant wall won't be able to see any action beyond the pitcher's mound... won't be able to view over half the field, in other words.
