MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Well, I'm getting better. I moved up from Veteran to All-Star and finally won my first game at that level, woo

The game definitely seems harder this year, as I've really had to focus when hitting and pitching. And wouldn't you know it, but the game I finally win, I win 1-0 with only one hit, and it was a homerun. Haha.

I've played this demo more than I've played any game all year.

This game rocks

ok, I think I just found the answer on lighting in the other thread, kind of confused but...slightly better understanding now..thanks Nem.

now just a cloudy/overcast day shot would be great, I've honestly hunted around but can't find one yet.

Overcast games look great, you get a sense of threatening skies!

HAHAHA the rays OF dropped a fly ball!!!! it was funny (ala soriano vs the pirates last year)

[ehh]

I gotta say check swings have never been a problem in this series for me. It's not as perfect as 2K4, but I certainly can't complain about it.

My girlfriend gave me a PS3 for V-Day so I first thing I did was download The Show 09 demo.

So far im impressed with what i've played. I'm only 3 games deep and the one thing that jumps out at me is how detailed and polished this game is. Every couple minutes I see something new and just say wow thats a nice touch.

Gameplay wise I still have a lot of learning to do. I'm coming over from the 2k series so the button pitching and hitting will take some time to get down. The only thing I do not like is the fielding. I think they need to add a throwing meter next year to give the fielding some depth.

Welcome to the Show Aerobee.

And there is a throwing meter for the fielders. Its the ring that develops underneath the player as he's fielding the ball. It will go from green, to yellow, to orange, then to red depending on how long you hold the button, to depict the strength of your throw.

But, the throwing meter doesn't really do anything...hopefully this gets fixed in the retail version....
