I see Benji Molina still has a pea head in the game, it looks terrible.

I LOVED 08 though 09 seems to be much the same

After reading Tomba's blog, I have to be cautious when agreeing with him because I think its ludicrous to say MLB2k is a better game at this point; however, I totally agree with his point here. Firstly, I am a huge Show fan, having bought the PS3 last year solely for this game, but although the game does look amazing with the new lighting, and not to mention some of the gameplay and franchise tweaks that are sure to make the game even better, I still find myself very disappointed with the pitching and hitting motions (they just do not look very natural), as well as the lack of individual personality from player to player, besides their faces. This is one area in my mind that MLB2k is far ahead of the Show. They're signature styles look much closer to their real-life counterparts than the Show (they still do not have the right equipment for their cover athelete for the second year in a row). Also, the mere fact that 2k allows you to edit nearly every detail of a player's equipment goes a long way towards making each player unique, without looking a little generic as they do in the Show. Finally, the MLB 2k's use of their new presentation camera angles go a long way towards making you feel as though you are watching a real live broadcast. I know its still early and I should wait for the game, but I am slightly disappointed that the Show has yet to keep pace with 2k in these areas. I'm still only buying the Show as it is the better game, but there is more to wanted in the areas of player personality and presentation.

Uh, no. Burris was drafted by the Giants, and came up through their system. It's a mistake by the game.
