Ahh fellow yankee fan yes you are correct the bunting on the walls man!!!! that is great stuff!! whether it is opening day or playoffs even if it is the only thing disguishing it from the regular season games I like it. it is a step in the right direction to fixing the atmospehere in important games such as opening day, playoffs, world series..

good stuff I can not wait.

the changes to the fielder's angles to the baseball in my opinion is the best improvement I've heard thus far.

Don't get me wrong, I am a franchise nut and have been bugging for a franchise mode ala ASB, but being able to see true doubles, infielder errors, going the short way, etc...topples everything else in my opinion.

Great job guys and looking forward to the next blog.

Sure it is a little thing to some, but to me this would make the game look so much more real.

MLB The Show 08 lacked a lot of things: Next gen graphics (2K8 also did this) one model glove w/ everyone's finger out, the huge black arm guard, can't change colors of batting gloves, shin guards, wrist/forearm bands, can't wear batting gloves under fielding glove. I never really played MLB 2K8, but MLB 2K7 had these features where you could adjust the shin guards, batting glove under your fielding glove, sock length, sleeve length, etc. The only thing you couldn't adjust was the facial features.

I'm glad MLB 09 improved their graphics from the PS2 graphics of last year, but the player model shoulders seem a bit big if you ask me, which is a minor turn off for a true to life graphics junky like myself. I'll need to view a gameplay video to make sure of this. Other than that it's great improvement from last year and is winning a lot of new gamers, too bad 2K9 is still on the bench.
