MLB 09 The Show Preview (Gamespy)

[The Management]

Quote:

The only other negative we noticed in The Show was collision detection, which was still a little off. It's understandable that developers don't want infielders knocking runners off first, second or third base between pitches, but clipping is still an issue when the ball is in play.

Nevermind

it would be even cooler if in a blowout-game there were only 30-40 people left in the stadium...then everyone we'd see would be different.....haha

Sounds more like a $20 download content/update for Playstation Network. Not a $60 game! I have not seen anything in regards to new minor league stadiums, are we going to still have to play in Wagon Wheel Stadium again like the last 3+ years?

100% disagree with you also!

The better the crowd looks and acts the more realistic the game is on a whole.

In future games I really hope we see vendors walking around selling food and drinks

And also fans holding up all kinds of signs like "GO Phillies" or "Mets are chokers"

Maybe users could create there own custom signs?

New minor league stadiums have been confirmed.

Although other "important" things like mound charging and rain delays have yet to be approved.
