Last week, I discussed a list of changes and additions that would make MLB 2K9 a serious contender for baseball game of the year. I will now be switching my focus to MLB 09: The Show, and I will be listing some improvements that can be made to refine an already stellar baseball game. These changes, if made, will likely further increase the replayability, fun and realism of the game.

Good article. I would love meter based throwing.

Definitely meter-based throwing just like MVP. That would own, and fix a lot of throwing problems on the field. That is of course if the animations truly are NOT scripted.

Or just do the proper animation tied to the throw release.

I just hope we get sliders that work this year! Some of the problems mentioned could have been fixed if the sliders actually worked! And yes, the throwing errors do seem scripted and not the result of the user.

not bad ideas but not exactly what would be top priorites by any means cept the progressive lighting, thats huge for sure.

The thing that would help make hitting more difficult is one very simple thing, have the AI play proper positional defense.

Outfielders are way to deep for one and have the players shade one way or another based on splits.
