MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[areobee401]

A few more things that impressed me last night with my first go at the game.

1. On deck hitter telling the baserunner to get down.

2. Walks!!!! Where have you been the last 2 years of my life?

3. Base coaches look like their real life counterpart.

4. If a hitter moves his foot while in the batters box dirt comes up from under his cleat.

5. Even on Veteran the game challanged me. This may have to do with coming from the 2k series as im not used to the game yet.

Quick question for you guys

How are the online leagues compared to the 2k series?

Always is. Braves and Marlins will be better also.

This is kind of minor but it was in the game last year. When guys move there is way to much dust that gets kicked up. Looks like a small dust storm while guys are walking around

If you get a group of guys who want to play the game like it should be played it's good.

If you play random be prepared for a bunch of guys who do not like to lose at ANY cost, i.e., ten stolen base attempts a game, will run from 2nd to home on an out to first to try to catch you napping, quick pitching, etc. Complete waste of time.

As far as lag. Ugh, hit or miss. You can play an almost lag free game and next play one that looks like it's freeze framed every....well, frame.

Watch for the on-line sign ups here as we don't put up with nonsense. This year it was HOF, Classic Pitching, all aids off, NEW baserunning. Lots of fun (if you didn't get lag).

Hit an inside the park HR with Crawford today.. Werth crashed into the wall as he jumped to catch it.. beat the relay by a step.. love the demo except I never want to see the Phillies or Rays again.. Wanted to pitch with a righty.. I hit 8 in a row with Cole, and switched the Phillies to CPU.. They put in Durbin and Chan Ho, and was all screwed up trying to pitch with righties..

Well after playing on Legend since the demo dropped I decided to give HOF a try. I lowered P Accuracy and Contact for both CPU and Human.
Kazmir had a no no into the 8th but the score was tied at 0-0.
Crawford led off with a double to right center
Then I got caught totally off guard when during the next batter Crawford took off for 3rd.
The Throw......Safe with the catchers throw going into left field and now I'm down 1-0.


I eventually got out of the inning with no more runs.
However I still failed to get a hit in the ninth with the closest being a line out to CF. Yeah I still need some plate work.
