SoxChamp, how would you know? The majority here will disagree with me, but outside these boards, you won't know.

You've done this before, no need to do this now. The only time you pop up in this forum is to complain and try and get people to debate back and forth with you. Thats it. You're not here to discuss the game, you're not here to provide input, and you're not here to offer up valid criticism to make the game better. Your lone objective is to bitch.

Please do us a favor and leave the thread. Its obvious you're not impressed with the game and probably never will be. I distinctly recall you saying at one point that maybe 2k is the game for you. Well, seeing as how you're never satisfied with anythign the Show does, I'd say you're right.

Thanks for stopping by, now don't let the door hit you in the *** on your way out.

It's pretty obvious this guy is a 2K troll. He's done this before.

You could call it MLB:Hot Rocks in Water Soup and I'd still say it looks friggin' AMAZING.
I'll tell you what.
I'll play MLB '08.2(we did have that one patch last year...that's .1 ) and be very happy.
40 man rosters...****le V...amateur draft....waiver options....tons of gameplay improvements.....improved atmosphere in the stadium....day/night transition.....new additions to the editor.....and sounds like even more ON TOP of the already best game out there.
I'm in....

Knight -- No kidding!

They have added everything! Jim and I talk about this every year!

The only thing I would love as I too am a roster freak -- a total player editor for all players.

This way you can change names of some of the players that last year you could not...

Here is hoping!

Well, let me first say that i bought the PS3 for this series believe it or not. I played these games since 989's 2001 and i loved it year after year. Well, until 08 came around. I was happy with 07, but i expected more than jusy shiny graphical improvements. Well, when i bought 08, i felt as though i played 07 all over again. Knowing me, i will complain but it is inevitable for me to not buy 09 The Show. I have too. I'm just too much of a baseball fan to not get this game. However, i have no problem admitting that i look at 2K as well. Even though The Show is far far superior, i still get 2k7 and 2k8 just to try them out. Well, i sold them because they were bad. I kept 08 The Show for alittle longer but sold it as well because i started to get bored. I dont know if the same will come about this year. I will definitely look at both 2k9 and 09 and i will most likely get both. As someone mentioned before, I'm expecting to much and i wont be getting it. Whatever. Everything will always be opinionated. Me wanting a new mechanic will get me a few bashes and a few agreements. I will always stand by with what i think and i wont let nobody tell me otherwise. In this case, you are asking me to prove input and ways to improve the game, well I'am but apparently it automatically makes me a 2k trool. I will admit that yes i always come in here and talk about the inclusion of a new hitting or pitching mechanic, and yet i never get one. Maybe in '10 but we will see. Hopefully, the new player models will at least provide a sort of new refreshment to this franchise.

One thing I think you need to consider though, is how the developers of this game go out of their way to ask the OS community what it is they want added to the game and I think they do the best they can to accomplish this. I understand your not thrilled about their not being a new pitcher/batter interface (though I don't that's been verified, oh well I could be wrong) or swing stick, but to say that the improvements they made to franchise, the fielding improvements, ect are minor and should be dismissed isn't really being fair in the overall picture. I would even go as far to say that if it wasn't for the SCEA team, the guys from EA still wouldn't be interacting with the OS community. They saw the benefits and decided this is something they should also be doing. The one glaring omission from this equation are the 2K guys, not sure why they have no interaction with this board but it sure couldn't hurt their product in the long run.
