MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Played the demo, love the graphics and dynamic sun. The lighting just seemed perfect and the fans looked really good. My pitching cursor would jump a little bit - Im gonna say that may be because of the build. Alot of times I would throw a strike but it would turn out to be a ball.

I did notice they mentioned some other pitchers name then the one I was using. I wound up winning 1-0 on a HR. LOVE the Home Run camera! It was enjoyable to watch the ball sailing out into the bleachers! Great demo, cant wait for the Show to start!

I'm finally a bit more settled in my new place, so I hooked everything up yesterday and downloaded the Demo, and all I can say is WOW, just simple amazing, this game has to have the best damn looking graphics in a video game , EVER!!! Yes I said ever, my It looks that much better then last years game by a foot field's length, just amazing, I can;t wait for it to come out. If though itl;s a demo, the gameplay felt stellar, I like the meter pitching, and the meter looks different and small, so It looks like it's going to be more of a changeling when using this year.


I wish is was coming now, but I will have it early, I always do.


SCEA, just from a demo, you guys are just awesome, nice work.

I'm supposed to be entertaining a customer/client today, by taking them out to lunch. I asked my boss if it would be ok if I took them to my house, fire up the grill and talk business over some steaks and the Show.

He said no.

One more thing to add...

I felt that the AI pulled many more balls (All of my HRs allowed were pulled, and they RIPPED several balls down the line) and I noticed a few new batting animations for some fouls, tips, and misses in my game.

It seemed suprisingly polished, considering the build. I can't wait to get my hands on the final

agreed, both homeruns that were hit in my game were pulled.

So how do you take screenshots?

Just some quick initial thoughts, only played two games last night.

Played on Legend, not as hard as i thought, but it sounds like Legend got beefed up between Demo version and retail.

Dont pitch to Longoria on Legend. He has taken me yard in EVERY at bat so far.

Lighting is awesome.

Still trying to get a few hits. Not many on my end, but im rusty on The Show.

I'll hold judgement on this one until the 100 demo game results. To be honest, most HRs in real life are pulled...if I had to guess, it would be 5-7 to 1 ratio if not more.
