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

[PLite14]

I sure hope Russell doesn't respond to that fool. This game improves by leaps and bounds each year, and he's trying to say that the SCEA guys know nothing about innovation. It boggles my mind thinking about all of the new things that have been added/improved upon for this year.

I'm pretty sure that the SCEA guys that browse the boards here want to see comments and suggestions to improve the game, not read posts from some whiner about how certain features should have been added a long time ago.

I hope they don't change. The way they do it is the way it should be done. Didn't Scea get a lot of people working on this game. I remember reading awhile back that they added more workers for this department. They really do a great job. I hope they finally get the love they deserve, buy the media. This game is SICK!

Back on the topic at hand, I am wondering since they now have fielders taking correct routes if that means that the outfielders are now in a more "normal" position instead of being so deep, thus allowing balls to get over the head and one hop the wall, etc...

I would think they'd have to have been moved in, but I couldn't tell from the vids. Anyone else with better eyesight see the outfielders being at a "normal" depth to start the play?

It would be really cool if they played the way they would in real life with batters. You can do it, but the CPU should do it too.

I remember one of the games doing this with the outfield.

Good question Countryboy, we should find out in a few days!
