That sounds like a really good idea Ken.

the only problem for ME is that i work a four day on four day off thing for Sony DADC (makes and distributes cds and movies) here in Terre Haute so it wouldnt be the same day every week... but hopefully we can work around it if everyone would like to do this... what we will talk about i have no idea.. im just the idea man.... im not the other part of the thing lol ... but im glad some one things i came up with a good idea... it doesnt happen that often lol

I've only played The Show 08, bought a PS3 for this game only. And it's easily the best baseball game I've ever played and can't wait until 09 gets released. And reading numerous posts here at OS, I've found myself agreeing with all 9 of the Community leaders. I'm excited to see this already great game be taken to a higher level from a program like this. Congrats to those who made the list.

Congrats to those that made the list!

SCEA could not have assembled a better group!

Looking forward to getting back to basball gaming soon!

by this time in March we will all be well adapted to 09. considering that from recent history it comes out if memory serves sometime in the second week of March. so basically one month after pitchers and catchers report on valentines day (my new favorite day of the year) we will have our game in our greedy drooling, awestruck, baseball starved hands.

if memory serves me correctly two things that have not been mentioned that i know for sure are going to be in the game are real life style box scores, complete with every stat (hopefully they didnt skim on anything on this) that you would see here on line looking at one for your favorite team after a game.

the second thing that was confirmed that will be in 09 is home run derby. again, great to have it back as a option of outside play, but hopefully they put it in to RTTS, Franchise, and season in its proper place during all star weekend. not only that but they programmed it correctly where the top four home run hitters from each league go to it.

now speaking of this... he he... how cool would it be where in your season, rtts (wait for it...) or your franchise where one of the players choosen chose not to participate in it for various reasons, and they chose an alternate. (in francise and season this would be the fifth highest player in home run chase. in RTTS however... it would be YOU that got asked to fill in. no matter whether your on your teams AA, AAA, or major league club...)

i think that would be a great thing.. oooops got on a little bit of a typing and idea frenzy... and in wrong area.. lol.. oh well i just get a bit excited about things once in a while.. .

I'm confident that 09 will be a step in the right direction.... no worries here.

Oh, you won't have to worry about batting stances at all...

It's Batting Stance Guy, to the rescue!
