MLB 09 The Show Preview

[brettryantalley]

this looks great. as far as some people responding as disappointed in the lack of 'wow' factor or this possibly not being the 'end all be all'...i dont think that 09 was aiming to do that.

08 was definitely a WOW factor. Best overall baseball game i've ever played. the big problem that i saw are the models and some animation issues along with a few gameplay issues.

they've already said that they wont have new models until 2010 at the earliest...so this year seems like it was just about fixing some of the gameplay issues...and increasing things like franchise options, etc...

so...i've been excited about 09 and will buy it on day one (if i cant find it earlier)...but from what i've seen...i think that 2010 will much more of a "wow" factor than this year. just a thought.

i believe that no other sports game is going to touch this one except for mlb 2010 the show. madden has no chance and etc...

brett u are right but 09 is going to be awesome, but that is two facts that we all can agree on.

Hey why not?

I am getting ready for the new wishlist!

Mainly because i know a lot of the things I was hoping for did not make in into 09.

Bring it On!!!. Im really looking forward to this release. I was a casual baseball gamer and fan til I played THE SHOW.
The catcher giving signals, WOW thast a nice little add on, but oh so obvious, a "why didnt I think of that" moment .

[sask3m]

catcher giving signs is only as good as the catcher AI, which in most games past hasn't been that good.
