UGO has posted their preview of MLB '09: The Show.

	"It�s probably best to get this out of the way from the outset: I am not a sports guy and if I were, baseball would still rank pretty low among my interests. This is important because I�m about to fill you readers in on preview time spent with Sony�s PlayStation 3-exclusive baseball sim MLB 09: The Show. And while it�s not going to change the opinions of those who prefer other sports or no sports at all, the 2009 edition of The Show looks as though it will offer a deeper, more fulfilling simulation than ever before, with the added benefit of amped up visuals and player-tailored features."

Kolbe,

Just tell us this. I think you know the excitement around here for us baseball & MLB the Show freaks. You've been hear long enough. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest). What would you rate your excitement to annouce the new features to us and the "you're (the Show users) going to blown away in 09?" Give it to us straight. It's freaking December and I'm already foaming at the mouth for this title. No specifics needed just a simple number will do

# 105 RAZRr1275 @ 12/18/08 08:14 PM

Nice stuff.

I'm hoping Kolbe can give us a breakdown soon.

Wow. Seriously....WOW.

I just tried to book a session with my therapist.
It seems as if she's all booked up.
She asked me if the letters os mean anything to me.

I've NEVER taken sick time without being sick or injured.
Sometime very close to the release date, I'm eating a pork tenderloin......RAW.

My integrity will remain intact.

Nothing speaks like some videos

# 111 Knight165 @ 12/18/08 09:51 PM

Oh yeah...

If you tell me you added single A ballclubs.....I think I'll start crying.
Mostly because I'll be ecstatic....but also because that means 750 more guys to create

I'm too excited about this.....I think I need to stop coming here so much or I'm going to have a heart attack....

I won't be able to stop logging on here though....oh well, hospital here I come. Hopefully, when I get released(if I live) it'll be March....

I'm with you on this one, I love The Show but have alway wondered why they only include AA and AAA. Maybe this year, I hope.

Yeah, its time for Single A ball. I LOVED playing A ball in MVP 05

Yes, Tretton did mention that in the video.

And one of the SCEA devs confirmed not too long ago on here, that the feature as of right now, is in the game. As well as in game screenshots to be shared, like Wipeout HD has.

# 118 bodhiball @ 12/19/08 12:33 AM

man, if thats the case, they have already far-exceeded my expectations of what they could do with a full dev-cycle!

# 119 Knight165 @ 12/19/08 12:37 AM

I would love to see that feature(as you can probably tell by the vids I made and posted on youtube featuring The Show

)

I'll be all over that if it's in.

Hate to be the wet blanket, but unless I'm missing something there's no guarantee that we'll be able to edit specific players walkup music - it could just be grouped by situation and genre and play randomly, like it has in years past.

I'm only mentioning this because it seems like people are jumping to this conclusion based on one line of the review (from a non-baseball fan no less), and I can already see the flood of "But the preview said..." should the above turn out to be true. Even so, I'd definitely welcome that anyway, and user-created crowd chants will be a trip.

Sounds good so far, but I want to see what the real baseball fans have to say about it.
