MLB 09 The Show Blog: New and Improved A.I.

WOW! The fielding animations are the best I have ever seen again this year. The short hops, stabs, the transitions, all of it looks perfect. Once again this year, can't wait for MLB!

Is this sunglass and eye-shade thing some sort of ongoing joke? I hope that's not the most important thing you people took away from this video.

For some people I would say it was. To be honest I did not even see those things in the vids, I was concentrating on the the baseball fundamentals.

Haha...
Well I don't know how many people read the blog...

But ..(although we knew already).....going the short way for the last out!......AND....
FINALLY!!!!...the fielder going to tag the runner if he's close rather than ignoring him and making the throw.
"The CPU will do this as well. Another side note, the CPU will tag your runner in the baseline if he can, instead of ignoring the runner and throwing to the base. You guys that play our game know what I mean."

NICE!

I was so pumped up for last year's game, mainly because I bought a PS3 just for it (and GTA IV - I beat that once and never played it again, but I still play 08 The Show like every single day). But, I can't believe I'm actually more pumped up for this year's game. I find it unbelievable that so many people can gripe about no homerun derby and no freakin world baseball classic. Are you kidding me?? Last year's game was incredible, and look at all the new additions they made for 09! 08 is so addictive that I play at least 1 to 2 games a day (and my wife wants to kill me)... I can't imagine what 09 will do to our marriage.
