Just finished downloading...



Gorgeous game. I actually didnt read up on any new features/changes so its all a new to me. Progressing through the day to night is simply amazing. The one thing that I noticed as a little lag or screen tearing but other demos have seemed that way before so I wont worry over it.

I love the fielding motions now. No more stop, turn and throw from the outfield to hit the cutoff or to gun it home (which I nailed perfectly to stop a run from scoring)

I cant wait to play the full version, this is what a video game should be. Anyone have a time machine?

I'm a little worried because it seems like it's only Samsung owners, while everyone else's is smooth. I'm starting to wonder now if this will carry over into the full game for Samsung owners.

I get the same thing except I have a Sharp Aquos.

Another one, I forgot who this is but he's sliding back first on to home plate.

Add me to the list of guys that's getting a small frame rate dip right after you select the pitch and then throw it... I'm on a Sony CRT in 720p. I didn't have any issues like this with 08 as well.


As for the game it's self.
The lighting is awesome.
The way the outfielders pursue the ball is great!
The players faces are much higher detail.
The Stadiums look a touch better.
The animations are even more fluid than they were last year.

I'm really glad that San Diego didn't add in a bunch of "gimmick" features and just made what was already Great - Greater.

MLB 09 The Show will be my "little blue miracle".

Who needs Viagara!!!!??????

I thought nothing could top 08.......but I stand corrected.
And without meaning to "cross-forum"------if a certain football game gets me this excited next year, I'll be in video game heaven!!!

Thanks SCEA!!!!!!!! *starts the March 3 countdown clock*

Finally got some games in. Great demo. Other devs need to see this is how a demo is put together. Replays, screenies, sliders, difficulty adjustsments, presentation and other options are all in the demo. Thank you devs for putting in so many features that are usually left out of demos. I wasn't expecting all of that.

Not to mention how good the game plays and looks compared to last year. I've seen gappers, doubles over the head of the outfileders, line shots, and I threw out Upton stealing (2nd base was an auto steal last year). I can't wait for the final product.

And Chris, I am digging the Cove in the avatar.
