SCEA

If you release the game early, we can help stimulate the economy sooner.

The umpire says let's play ball

Thanks

All these details are amazing, but here is hoping the gameplay is good as well.

This series was a huge factor in me getting a PS3 as well.

I love the details. They really did add to the game even if they don't affect the game. This series really is turning into not only the best baseball game out but the best sports video game. And maybe even video game overall.

Man, Boston's new road uni's are pretty damn ugly. I'm all for the classic/simple look but those are not a good look.

And the girl in the dance competition w. Mr. Met has BOMBS.

Thank you.

When they said the girl with Mr. Met was wearing Uggs......I said to myself...."she's wearing shoes?!"

Haha, well those guys only show up when important parts of the game suck which isn't the case here.

# 90 Pared @ 02/11/09 12:48 PM

Do they still make NCAA?

Yes, Santana's new delivery is unreal. I'm glad they finally got to work on that one.

I don't know if u're serious or not, but if you are :

they revamped the whole sliders

they made hitting a great challenge and realistic

they added fielding variety ( reyes will be really good, and hanley will not)

pitching AI is smarter

they made bat speed faster to increase pull hits and the new hitting engine won't allow opp feld HRs unless u get solid timing

new animations

what else do you think they can improve ? i'm sure they can, but the gameplay jump from 08 to 09 is much much larger than from 07 to 08.

# 96 greenegt @ 02/11/09 01:03 PM

It's about time for a PS3 price drop.

# 97 aukevin @ 02/11/09 01:12 PM

I'd like to see a list of what all teams have mascots in the game.

No doubt. Sony is apparently recession-proof, lol. I'm not asking for things to get worse, but damn, it would be nice if the price of the PS3 dropped a little to match the market. Apparently demand is still sufficiently high. I think I'm just going to have to rob a little kid or something.

# 99 Skyboxer @ 02/11/09 01:21 PM

Am I the only one that thinks ThreeKing's post was tongue in cheek? Or am I missing something?

# 100 baseball88 @ 02/11/09 01:25 PM

Come on SCEA

Release the game so everyone can get the game and stimulate the economy sooner than later. Also alot of gamers would purchase a PS3 to stimulate the economy too.

Thanks
