MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[Nextyearnow]

This is to all people who have been having problems with the black bars on the top bottom, and sides of your television sets while playing mlb 08 or mlb 09.

I have a 32 inch 720p Samsung hdtv.

You guys have to use your remote to go to video settings. Then make sure its set to "just scan" (you are not done yet)

Then, while playing mlb 09, you must pause the game. in the game go to audio/video settings. Go to video settings. Then adjust the horizontal positioning and vertical positioning so that it fits the screen. The picture still looks great!

Was this any helpful?

yeah i can't figure out why the picture doesn't just fit the screen on its own, this is the first game i've played that's like that.

I have a question. Does anyone have any new information on online leagues besides the fact that theres flex scheduling and drafts? Please help

Question 1: In the online leagues, will there be a waiting period like last year before we can start making leagues?

Question 2: If I start a league and I have to drop someone, can I drop him and add a new player to fill his spot?

Question 3: If I drop someone, will it take the league wins away from the standings so that we can add new members? They do this in some video games like NHL09. When you drop a guy, it takes away the wins and losses vs the dropped guy in the standings so that you can add another player.

Question 4: Can I make more than one League?

Question 5: Can I delete my league if it fails?

Question 6: If there are going to be draft leagues, will there also be trades? If there is a draft, how will that work? Will it be like Madden?

If anyone knows any of these answers feel free to tell me! Anyways this is going to be an awesome game. It seems like SCEA really worked out the bugs and added some great new features. Definitely buy this game. Its a must have!

having a great time with the demo...its breathtaking.

Finding quite a few odd things in the outfielder animations....where my fielder will start to run in slow motion when I am trying to run to a ball hit in the gap or something. This isnt the one that takes over the fielder when you are under a ball, but when I am running TO a ball already on the ground.

Wondering if the SD guys noticed this in the build they played as well?

Yeah I bought my hdtv around the time mlb 08 came out. I could never figure out why the black bars were there. I think it is only a problem with mlb and samsung hdtvs but i may be wrong

Basically I have no idea why i get these black bars while playing BUT....

All I care about is that in Mlb 09 I can fix this very easily...

I just hope that idont have to re adjust everything everytime i boot up my game.

So to answer our question: I dont know why, but mlb 09 has given us the option to adjust the screen so our problems are solved.

Lol I am so happy because i just figured this out today
