Now I'm not ripping SCEA on this because you really can't add too much to an already fabulous game, but again, are the upgrades in 09 worth $60 in these tough economic times?
A "resounding" NO? Stuck out that much? Listen we played a build of the game at the end of January. You played a demo from mid-December. Seems there are comments already appearing that the guys at the event "were right".

Can you personally afford it should be the factor in ANY purchase, not just this game.

The definite progress made with pitching/batting mechanics, one guy already said he saw obvious differences in talent, 40 man rosters, lighting, audio, new animations, on and on, not going to list them here.

Not trying to hijack this thread just giving you my answer. This isn't a roster update.

-I'm with the button press guys. If they want to add the analog stick, fine, just keep the button option and everybody is happy.

-I don't care for single A teams.

-Add full day/night cycle.

-An actual working throw meter

-Better pickoff control, on the mount and on base. Add the L3 press function (going to point of view of the player) to the pitcher as well and I want the runner to respond when I say slide back and not in the hands of the CPU!

-Option to turn off the player indicators on the field.

-An option to check the speed of the baserunners without going in the start menu and make it numeric as well.

That's all I can think of now.

i thought the demo was better than 08 and that wasn't even a final version. 08 wasnt much worse to the fact where if you really enjoyed it i'm sure you can last but theres no denying 09 is better and more in depth and improved on some of the issues that were there in 08.

I've been playing 2K for a few years and I'm new to The Show, but I have to say I wouldn't mind seeing a throwing meter when you're fielding. I loved it in MVP, and I loved it in the recent 2K games. It's nice to have that extra little bit of control.

But other than that everything is lovely. Glad to make the switch.
