Their are.

After being burned by 2k8, I guess I'll pass on this one and keep rolling with my NCAA football dynasty.....I really wish I still had my PS2 so I could be playing the show.

PS, I'm very disappointed by the lack of anger and outrage in this review thread. I mean even the people who disagree are not angry and irrational. WTF Internet.

Cool Chase - you can play the game for two months and then re-review ...

Really wise my friend. the ps3 MIGHT be going down in price but so many things are going up. tomba's not one to discourage as he's had one, but mlb 2k9 is not as bad as 2k8. Remeber folks i wasd a BIG advocate for 2k being shutdown because of 2k8. they've actually redeemed themselves to me with 2k9 and that is sayong ALOT.

MLB 2k9 might not be the show but it sure shows us how bad 2k8 was...

I have no problem getting this game. good review. I've gotten a few mediocre games lately that were fun (afro samurai, fear 2, MK vs DC). Hey, I only use my Yanks anyway, so let the softball games begin. lol

I concur with the review as well. My first franchise game, an hour into it, and it freezes on me as I make a catch to end the 8th inning. Disappointing. It would freeze then move one frame then freeze then move one frame, etc. I tried to let it "play out" hoping for the inning break to restore the game but to no avail. I played the demo for The Show but I was underwhelmed with that one as well. Maybe I need the full game (The Show) to appreciate it but for now, I'll keep plugging away at this one in anticipation of yet another patch fix. This is not the way to retain consumers, VC.

Ha, no chance there's going to be a re-review in that sense douche.
